Bad News for Labour by Greg Philo
A groundbreaking study revealing how accusations of antisemitism damaged the British Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyns leadership.
'At last! Here is a book that rigorously examines the facts behind the allegations of antisemitism in the Labour PartyThe reality is more shocking, and more surprising, than the headlines in the press would have you believe. Here is the evidence - read it. Then learn the lessons suggested here' -- Ken Loach
'The essays in this book provide evidence and arguments that are deeply troubling for all concerned, and demand careful attention.' -- Peter Golding, Emeritus Professor, Northumbria University
What the careful research reported in this book reveals is a successful disinformation campaign in which the BBC as well as the Guardian have been complicit. Anyone who cares for facts needs to read it. -- Colin Leys, honorary professor at Goldsmiths University of London; author of 'Market-Driven Politics: Neoliberal Democracy and the Public Interest', and, with Stewart Player, 'The Plot Against the NHS'
'This compelling, thoughtful text is essential reading for everyone wanting to confront antisemitism on the Left. It provides a benchmark for future research and strategy when tackling this explosive issue of our time' -- Lynne Segal, author of 'Radical Happiness: Moments of Collective Joy'
