Jeremy Corbyn has asked the Labour Party to take him back into the party following his comments on the report on anti-Semitism during his leadership.
He said he was ]’very shocked and disappointed’ after the party said he would have the whip removed.
Corbyn said: “I’ve been in the Labour Party all my life. I want to make it very clear. Anti-Semitism has no place whatsoever in our party or our movement.
“I’ve opposed it and racism in all its forms for all my life.”
Well, is he telling the truth?
Were there just a handful of Labourites who acted in an anti-Semitic way in reality has the new Equality and Human Rights Commission long-awaited report got it all wrong?
And is in fact poor old Jezza the real victim?
Talking about the report, which found “specific examples of harassment, discrimination and political interference” and “a lack of leadership”, Mr Corbyn said: “One ant-Semite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media.”
But is there a factual basis for his claim?
Well a fact check by Channel 4 went looking for the answers to the following questions… this is their report in full:
