The first and most important thing is to sort out the complaint handling process as it’s a complete mess and isn’t trusted. Get an independent Jewish body involved to be part of the arbitration process and ensure it’s free of influence from the rest of the party, increase transparency around how decisions are reached and chuck whatever resources at it are required to clear the backlog of cases.
People have been calling for action like the above for fucking ages now. The fact it still hasn’t been done despite being well within Labour’s power to do is a large part of the reason why it is felt that the Labour leadership doesn’t take antisemitism seriously.
Once that’s done, then is the time to start trying to find ways to rebuild trust.

Not when it also points out how they were handled and how quickly.
But there’s a backlog of the most serious cases now waiting to be considered by the NCC – which is unacceptable – and a lack of transparency that is made worse by mistrust around this issue.

Has been for some time, but he really objects to it. For a very good reason, I understand, so we shouldn’t use it.
