London Mayor Sadiq Khan has “welcomed” the announcement from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission that is probing complaints of institutional anti-Semitism by the Labour Party, according to the Evening Standard.
Khan said on LBC Radio that Labour had been “too slow” and “too lax” in responding to the complaints about anti-Semitism. He added, “Anti-semitism is a form of racism. The impression we as a party have given is that there is a hierarchy when it comes to racism and skin colour is more important than being Jewish.”
