YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJon Lansman, founder of Momentum and director of Rebecca Long-Bailey's leadership campaign, told Iain Sir Keir Starmer's decision to sack the Shadow Education Secretary was "very bad judgement."
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer sacked Rebecca Long-Bailey from the shadow cabinet after she shared an article about actor Maxine Peake containing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, the party has said.
"I think he's made a big mistake here," Mr Lansman said, "Sir Keir was elected to end factionalism...and I think he's made it harder for himself to unite the party."
He said Rebecca Long-Bailey is just as committed to ending anti-Semitism within the party "as he and I are."
"What he did do effectively was condemn Maxine Peake, a national treasure, for anti-Semitism and he did that without telling her the charges, without any application of the principles of natural justice, without allowing her to respond which is how a Labour disciplinary panel would expect this to have been dealt with.
"I find it very surprising that a lawyer and former DPP should act with such disregard for natural justice."
