It is expected that the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) will launch a formal inquiry into the Labour Party over its antisemitism crisis.
Sources have told the Mail that the EHRC has been handed “compelling” evidence over Labour’s failure to tackle Jew-hate among its members.
The watchdog asked Labour to respond to concerns about the allegations in March. The party provided its response last month, but it has been claimed that the EHRC was “deeply unimpressed” by the submission, in which Labour reportedly ascribed the problem to a “small number of individuals”.
One close ally told the Mail: “This will be a real blow to Jeremy and it will go on for months and months. It’s the last thing we need.”
