A good thread! There's a lot more work to do in the party, but this is all taking us in the right direction. If we all do our bit, challenge our comrades when they mess up, think about our own biases & actively work at it- we can rid our movement of the scourge of antisemitism https://twitter.com/PeoplesMomentum/status/1092517455543615490 …

You've got to be kidding me? Have you seen Jennie Formby's comments and that of the Jewish Labour MPs disgust in response? The party is not a home for Jews. At all.

But it *is* a home for many Jews, which is why
@JewishLabour exists. There's a long way to go to fix Labour's problems but I believe they *are* fixable. It's going to take a lot of work, but the sorts of things outlined in the thread I quoted are a start!1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes - Replying to @charlotte2153 @JewishLabour

Momentum is Labour. Formby is Labour Gen Sec.

Right, so I can't commend some people in Labour for making positive steps towards acknowledging and tackling the issue, because some other people in the party haven't managed that? Got it.

So Charlotte, this is CLEAR evidence of a
#momentum member (all evidence-based) who promotes obvious racism, yet none of her "comrades" ever seem to notice or do anything about it. https://antinazisunited.wordpress.com/2018/10/06/wilde-about-racism-and-momentum-a-quick-profile-of-antisemitism-and-the-left-wilde/ …pic.twitter.com/Zs48d4VFH41 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Hopefully these sorts of posts will encourage more people to do the right thing and speak up. I'm not in
@PeoplesMomentum but I understand their complaints procedure is pretty robust (unlike the party's); would recommend emailing this to complaints@peoplesmomentum.com1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes - Replying to @charlotte2153 @acailler and
Wilde has 14,000+ followers. She is a Labour member. She is a member of
#Momentum. It is the responsibility of THOSE organisations to find such racists & deal with them, if they are serious about tackling antisemitism. She's popular on the#SocialistSunday scene, over to thempic.twitter.com/9t4qTrKG0n2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
Neither Momentum nor Labour have the resources to proactively monitor the social media of all members (and it would be deeply weird to even try!) but both have a duty to act quickly and fairly to resolve issues when things are reported through proper channels.

No one asked Labour or
#momentum to proactively monitor the social media of all members. A radical idea: 1. Get a list of known racists 2. Document their racism 3. Ask members/supporters to shun such racists 4. Revise list 5. Goto 1 Detail of racists,https://antinazisunited.wordpress.com/0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
