I’d like to draw your attention to this interview with Corbyn from September 2018. In it he claims to have expanded & strengthened all procedures to deal with claims of antisemitism. However, when interviewed by Andrew Neil earlier this week, he said something different 1/ https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1044854715077603328
In the interview with Andrew Neil, transcript below, his excuse for the case of Lesley Perrin, who received merely a written warning after questioning the figure of six million Jews dying in the Holocaust, was that he had only strengthened procedures in the last few months 2/
If he made this claim twice, once over a year ago & once now then either he is claiming he has twice strengthened procedures or he is lying on one or both occasions. It also means that he is not absolved in the case of Lesley Perrin as this was after the interview re: Luciana 3/
Here are the quotes from September 2018. I, for one, would like an answer. 4/
When this new information is taken into consideration too, I have to question whether anything at all has been done by Corbyn (he says “I”) to strengthen procedures and would like @UKLabour to produce evidence of this at their earliest convenience 5/ https://twitter.com/sara_rose_g/status/1200401879144058880?s=21 https://twitter.com/sara_rose_g/status/1200401879144058880
So to summarise: Sep 2018 Corbyn claims to have expanded & strengthened all procedures so there’s no abuse in the party. Nov 2019 Corbyn, as an excuse for a mismanaged case earlier THIS year says he only strengthened procedures THIS summer.
