Jeremy Corbyn has made Labour a "welcoming refuge" for antisemitism and the party is "no longer a safe space for Jewish people", a dossier submitted to the human rights watchdog alleges.
The Jewish Labour Movement document revealed sworn statements from 70 present and former Labour staffers which will be given to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission inquiry into antisemitism in the party. Compiled over 13 months up to November, the 53-page dossier alleged the Labour Party was "no longer a safe space for Jewish people" because it was home to a "relentless flow" of antisemitic incidents.

Labor's undermining of offshore processing is 'disgraceful' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Labor “created the asylum seeker crisis” and its role in undermining offshore processing through the medevac laws has been “disgraceful”.\n\nRefugee medevac laws have officially been repealed in the Senate, with the support of key crossbench senator Jacqui Lambie.\n\nMr Kenny said medevac is about destroying offshore detention, which is “of course a tough and difficult policy but one that saves lives and protects our immigration system so that we can continue to take record numbers of refugees”.\n\n“Labor created the asylum seeker crisis, and led to 50,000 people going through detention and many thousands going into offshore detention, not to mention more than 1200 deaths,” he said on Wednesday.\n\n“How many deaths, how many lost boats, how many people in detention will it take before Labor gets it?\n\n“Secure borders are not about popularity polls, this is about sovereignty and the integrity of a generous immigration system.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
