it would appear the grassroots party have no issue with the idea that the party's anti-Semitism problem was invented by jewish Trump supporters.

what chance of the IHRA definition being adopted by the Labour Party now?

I think they might adopt it just to ‘prove’ they are not antiemetic.

:Labour are hopelessly infected. I hope the voters soon see it.

I fully expect the IHRA definition to be adopted in full - it was mealy-mouthed of them to say they had adopted it, but just not all of the definitions. There was one poster on this site who tried to argue the same thing. Either it is adopted in full or it is not adopted.

The trouble is Labour adopting it in full now will be equivalent of "I'm not racist but...." or "Some of my best friends are.....". In other words they're going to be saying something just so they feel they cannot be accused of anti-semitism.

The damage has already been done. I don't think they can undo it.
