A key example would be Alastair Campbell, who deployed the 'puppet master' antisemitic trope to attack Jon Lansman. He might have deserved the benefit of the doubt had he not presided over a campaign against Michael Howard that was considered antisemitic.

It's very disturbing that there is absolutely no interest from LOTO in addressing this, or the Rachel Reeves controversy. Starmer even pushed for Campbell to be allowed to rejoin Labour after his expulsion. https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/keir-starmer-calls-for-alastair-campbell-to-be-let-back-into-labour-after-expulsion-over-lib-dem-vote
Surely 'no antisemitism in the Labour Party' should mean *anywhere* in the Labour Party? Why would Campbell or Reeves be any less frightening to Jewish people, especially now that the tendency Reeves and Campbell align with is back on top?
I mean surely a gesture of good faith would be for Campbell to undergo unconscious bias training and for
Reeves to delete this thread praising an a notorious antisemite and apologise?
