(L-R) Jewish Labour Movement chair Mike Katz, former Labour MP Ruth Smeeth, Labour MP Margaret Hodge, vice chair Adam Langleben and National Secretary Peter Mason attend a press conference of the Jewish Labour Movement at the offices of law firm Mishcon de Reya in London on October 29, 2020 on the findings of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report on anti-semitism in the Labour Party. - Britain's main opposition Labour party on Thursday suspended its former leader Jeremy Corbyn, after a government watchdog found his office broke equality law through its "inexcusable" handling of anti-semitism complaints. The shock development came after Corbyn said he refused to accept all the findings of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report, in defiance of the party's new leadership under Keir Starmer.
