Our Survey Said!
In recent days, the Labour Party has had to grapple with some of the most overt examples of anti-Semitism it's possible to imagine - from an ugly mural on a London wall to social media claims that the Holocaust was a hoax.
Yet 30% of Labour members think this is not a serious problem, according to a YouGov poll for The Times.
Now the better news is that 66% of Labour Party members believe that anti-semitism is a genuine problem, even if many of these individuals think that its scale or extent of the problem is being exaggerated.
But 30% of Labour members turning a blind eye to clear examples of racism and prejudice in and around their own party - now that really is shocking.
The only conclusion to draw is that anti-semitism and racism is rife among a section of Labour Party supporters these days.
