Part 2: Chairman of watchdog probing Labour ‘profited from blacklisters’
Richard Slaven of Pinsent Masons speaks at a House of Commons Scottish Affairs Committee session on blacklisting against trade union activists in 2014

THE official investigation into anti-semitism in the Labour Party faces renewed criticism today as the Morning Star reveals that the investigative body’s chairman financially benefited from companies at the centre of the blacklisting scandal.

Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) chairman David Isaac is now under fire for receiving substantial sums of money from a law firm that defended construction industry giants over the blacklisting of trade unionists.

Former Labour MP Ian Davidson said the watchdog’s chairman “obviously cannot be trusted to be impartial when dealing with the Labour Party.”
