the issue of pete willsman is an acid test for the labour party.ublished by a radio station yesterday, said that the allegations of anti—semitism in the labour party are, in effect, orchestrated by the israeli embassy. that is a conspiracy theory which has absolutely no foundation whatsoever. if you were a member of the jewish community, it would give you little hope that the labour party would deal fairly with allegations of anti—semitism, if somebody on its main ruling body — the national executive committee — had those views. it's right that he's been suspended, but the next step for the labour party is to deal with the disciplinary case against him as quickly as possible because, otherwise, people will have little confidence in our setting ourface strongly against anti—semitism. lord falconer. let's go back to our top story — where liverpool have won the champions league for the sixth time, beating spurs 2—0. 0ur correspondent, stuart flinders, was at an event in the heart of liverpool that was being held in association with bt sport. he gave u

community and forjewish labour members and for thejewish labour movement, they need, he needs to expel pete willsman in the party agrees. if this is not dealt with incredibly effectively, and quickly, and i'm saying 1a days should be the time limit, then is the institution capable of being effectively anti—anti—semitic, or is the institution so sclerotic, in some way, that it might itself be institutionally anti—semitic? there's been no word from peter willsman today. threejewish organisations have written to labour demanding he is expelled swiftly. they contrast his suspension with the rapid expulsion of the former spin doctor alastair campbell for voting liberal democrat in last week's elections. the party now has to decide what to do about peter willsman. let him stay, or kick him out. chris mason, bbc news. the inquest into the deaths of 8 people in the 2017 london bridge attacks has heard that there were opportunities galore to detect the plot beforehand. the lawyer representing some of the victims‘ families said there was evidence the attackers had been in contact for several months. police de

for example, just a week or so ago, the fact that a member of the national executive committee, pete willsmanaiming that israel was behind the accusations of anti—semitism inside the party. these are specific commitments, actions, disciplinary measures that are being taken. well, let me give you three recent examples which demonstrate to me that, again, their actions don't stand up to their words. so, for example, we have a leading member ofjeremy's inner circle, andrew murray, who there was a leaked memo last week that came off a private e—mail which demonstrated that he intervened in the consideration of one of the allegations of anti—semitism, to ensure that the person was not suspended. jeremy corbyn himself gave me assurances that there was no political interference in the consideration of those issues. you're saying that that was a lie. jeremy corbyn lied about that. well, either he didn't know what his staff was doing, or he himself was being economical with the truth. well, which do you think? i don't know, he'd have to answer that. i really genuinely don't know. the second example is
