THE official investigation into anti-semitism in the Labour Party is in the spotlight again today as the Morning Star can reveal that a senior member of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has directly profited from Theresa May’s “hostile environment.”

EHRC board member Suzanne Baxter was finance director of outsourcing giant Mitie when it won Home Office contracts to run three immigration detention centres that have become notorious for suicide attempts, deaths and a major fire.

And although Ms Baxter left in 2017, the Financial Reporting Council confirmed today it is still investigating company accounts filed while she was working at the top of the firm — in which she still holds shares.
