THIS weekend’s Morning Star contains detailed analysis by former Corbyn staff and allies of the Forde report into Labour factionalism.

Comprehensive as it is, the Forde report does not teach us much. It was commissioned to investigate allegations in the leaked report of Easter 2020, which exposed institutional sabotage of Labour’s 2017 election campaign and a sickening torrent of racist, sexist and bullying abuse by some very senior members of Labour staff directed at colleagues, party members and even MPs seen as supportive of Jeremy Corbyn.

It is important that Forde’s investigation confirms the main allegations in the leaked report. And these are devastating.
