Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from the Labour party after a human rights watchdog found it had broken equality law in its handling of antisemitism. The damning report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found the party was responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination.
Speaking before being suspended, Corbyn rejected some of the report's findings and claimed the issue had been 'dramatically overstated for political reasons' by his critics. Corbyn has since issued a new statement on Facebook to say that he will 'strongly contest the political intervention' to suspend him.
