Britain's Labor Party suspended former leader Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday.

He is accused of having expressed reservations about a report on anti - Semitism within Labor under his leadership.

Long-awaited and published on Thursday, the report of the Committee for Equality and Human Rights (EHRC), an independent body of the party, highlighted "illegal" acts of harassment and discrimination.

Reacting to the report, Jeremy Corbyn wrote on Facebook that he did not accept "all" of the report's findings, which highlights harassment and discrimination within the party.

"In light of his comments," the party "suspended Jeremy Corbyn" and opened an investigation, a Labor spokesperson said.

"Day of shame"

It is a "day of shame" for the Labor Party, said party leader Keir Starmer, promising to implement all of the recommendations and re-apologizing for the attitude of his party.

Keir Starmer, who took over as Labor leader in April, has been keen to pay off the legacy of his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn, accused of allowing anti-Semitism to flourish in his ranks, an affair that plagues the long-standing party and has resulted in many resignations.

The acting chair of the Committee for Equality and Human Rights has crushed "inexcusable" shortcomings resulting from "a lack of will to tackle anti-Semitism rather than an inability to do so".

In its 130-page report, the Committee concludes that Labor has "committed unlawful acts".

Labor now has a legal obligation to set up, in agreement with the commission, an action plan to remedy this by December 10, failing which it risks prosecution.

"Deficiencies of the party leadership"

"We discovered examples of harassment, discrimination and political interference" during its investigation, underlines the committee, strangling the deficiencies of the leadership of the party.

The investigation revealed that "a significant number of complaints relating to anti-Semitism have not been investigated at all", particularly on social networks.

The party "must now produce an action plan to implement our recommendations", underlines the Committee, recalling that the new direction led Keir Starmer reiterated its commitment to implement all the recommendations.

“Now she has to put them into practice.

The recommendations are clear, fair and achievable.

They are intended for the party to keep its commitment to "zero tolerance" and for the party to "rebuild confidence" in the complaints process.
