A GROUP of prominent British Palestinians have spoken out over “shrinking space” in the Labour Party to discuss their people’s struggle.
In an open letter to the party, the group, which includes academics, journalists and lawyers, expressed concern at moves by the Labour leadership to extend the application of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-semitism.
The letter pointed to recent comments by shadow communities secretary Steve Reed urging Labour-led councils who have not signed up to the IHRA definition to do so.
Andy Burnham’s leadership will be judged on whether he charts a genuinely different course, argues BECK ROBERTSON
