LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 15: Labour leader Keir Starmer speaks at Toynbee Hall on February 15, 2023 in London, England. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has ended monitoring the Labour Party, saying it has met the demands imposed after a devastating report on antisemitism within the party in 2020. Keir Starmer apologised for the hurt caused to the Jewish community. He said, "What you have been through can never be undone. Apologies alone cannot make it right." The EHRC decision is "not a moment for celebration, but a moment for reflection". (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
