- Sir Kier Starmer has promised to end the political interference by the leader’s office which was recommended by the EHRC report.
- Former Labour member, Rebecca Massey has filed a complaint suggesting that the office had a role to play in her expulsion.
- Rebecca Massey who was a Palestine Solidarity Campaign member was expelled in May, along with a few of the other members.
- The Board of Deputies of British Jews called for her permanent expulsion through a secret document that listed 11 labor Members to be anti-Semitic.
