I'm reluctant to really say anything at this point (especially considering that we haven't heard back from the EHRC as of yet) but I think this still marks probably the most existential challenge Starmer's leadership is going to face, at least in the short term.

Squaring the circle of being elected on a platform of improving party management with the fact that the faction adjacent to those coming off badly in this report view you as friendly isn't easy in the slightest and will reveal an early fracture in his internal coalition.

Plainly, however, the picture vividly painted of Southside is one of deep institutional rot that isn't going to budge with an approach of tinkering around the edges.

An independent complaints and arbitration process will hopefully go a long way in the fight against antisemitism within the party but it can't be viewed as the limit of internal reform.

If the report is to be viewed as accurate, we have to internalise the fact that organs of the party machinery were squirrelling away cash exclusively for mates in the PLP during the election. It represents a fundamental breakdown in institutional discipline and accountability.

Now we're three years on from that point and most of the people responsible have likely moved on, but the structures that facilitated it happening are still in place and need reckoning with.

I don't know what the roadmap for internal reform looks like from here on in (aside from independent complaints), but surely if it is to happen this is the opportunity to really fundamentally reshape Southside.
