One year ago today BBC Panorama broadcast the testimony of a number of brave whistleblowers who had worked inside of the Labour Party on antisemitism cases. They felt morally compromised by an attempt by the then leadership to cover up racism in the party of anti-racism.
I have spent the best part of two years speaking to and working alongside these whistleblowers & many more who didn't go on camera to build a full picture of what went on to give to the EHRC. The testimony and extent of the cover up I read was harrowing. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/jul/11/labour-whistleblower-in-30-years-ill-be-very-proud-of-myself

Despite the attempts to deny the testimony of these whistleblowers and more, at every single hurdle to date they have been vindicated under independent scrutiny.
🔷 It passed BBC Editorial
🔷 BBC Complaints Unit rejected all complaints
🔷 Ofcom rejected all complaints.
