LUKE FLETCHER outlines Plaid Cymru bold plans for wide-ranging policy consultations with trade unions in Wales
BACK in April 2020, a leaked Labour Party report told the story of hostility, abuse, bullying, racism and sexism among the party’s paid staff, as part of a broader investigation into the handling of anti-semitism claims. Martin Forde QC was tasked by Labour leader Keir Starmer with leading an inquiry into the claims.
Forde’s report was originally intended to be published by the end of 2020, but delayed. At a succession of Labour NEC meetings afterwards, the question was repeatedly asked: “Where is the Forde report?”
At first, various excuses were given by general secretary David Evans, including claims that publication could prejudice other investigations and legal proceedings, but more recently there has simply been silence over the missing report.
