The opening as it read in 2025
The work of the Labour Party's Governance and Legal Unit in relation to antisemitism, 2014–2019 , is a leaked British dossier written by party staff in response to the Equality and Human Rights Commission 's investigation into the party's handling of antisemitism complaints. The report includes emails of senior party staff, aligned with the right of the party, and suggests factionalism within the party ultimately led to antisemitism and racism allegations not being dealt with properly. The dossier was first reported by Tom Rayner, political correspondent at Sky News , on 11 April 2020. He reported that Labour's lawyers had advised against submitting the report to the commission. The dossier was subsequently leaked on social media. Keir Starmer , Leader of the Labour Party , and Angela Rayner , Deputy Leader of the Labour Party , announced an investigation into the report the following day. HOPE not hate welcomed the dossier's statement that it "thoroughly disproves any suggestion that antisemitism is not a problem in the Party", and also called on the party to investigate the racism it details against Diane Abbott . The dossier was criticised by the Campaign Against Antisemitism , which suggested it had been written to absolve the Corbyn leadership of failing to deal with antisemitism. The resulting inquiry into the dossier, headed by Martin Ford KC, published its report on 19 July 2022. The Forde Report concluded that antisemitism had been used as a "factional weapon" by both opponents and supporters of Corbyn in the Labour Party, which impeded investigation into antisemitism complaints. It also supported the dossier's claims of racism and discrimination in the party more generally, suggesting there was a "hierarchy of racism", and made 165 recommendations to address the "toxic" culture within the party. Some close to Mr. Corbyn are furious, with one saying: 'the truth must come out' " ( Tweet ) . "Labour leader Keir Starmer announces 'urgent investigation' into leaked party antisemitism report" . HOPE not hate . 14 April 2020 . "Labour's mammoth report detailing anti-Corbyn conspiracy at Party's HQ is 'last ditch attempt to discredit antisemitism allegations' and must be sent to EHRC" .

The work of the Labour Party's Governance and Legal Unit in relation to antisemitism, 2014–2019 is a leaked Labour Party dossier written by party staff in response to the Equality and Human Rights Commission 's investigation into the party's handling of antisemitism complaints and includes reports of other forms of racism. The report reveals emails of senior party management staff, aligned with the right of the party, wherein there was clear obstruction of justice in dealing with cases of antisemitism and other noted cases of racism, and it does not clear the party of accusations of being "institutionally antisemitic". Although the report clearly states that it "thoroughly disproves any suggestion that antisemitism is not a problem in the Party", or that it is all a 'smear' or a 'witch-hunt', its main assertion is that rampant factionalism within the party had ultimately led to antisemitism and racism allegations not being dealt with properly. The dossier was first reported by Tom Rayner, political correspondent at Sky News , on Twitter on 11 April 2020, then on Sky News itself a day later. He reported that Labour's lawyers had advised against submitting the report to the Commission. The news of this dossier had many activists calling for its full publication; it finally leaked and spread through social media. Labour leader Keir Starmer and deputy leader Angela Rayner then announced an investigation into the report the following day. Some close to Mr. "NEW: Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner are commissioning an urgent investigation into the internal report" ( Tweet ) .
