Part 4: ‘Impartial’ watchdog probing Labour plans to invite Tory spin doctors to board meetings
THE official investigation into anti-semitism in the Labour Party faces a credibility crisis today as the Morning Star can reveal that the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) plans to invite Tory spin doctors as “guests” to its board meetings.
In the fourth part of our series EHRC Exposed, we can now reveal that the watchdog’s leadership want “a ministerial or SpAd guest at a board meeting.”
A SpAd is a special adviser who often helps ministers devise political attack lines.
