As Labour splits in half over the reinstatement of suspended MP Chris’ Williamson, and the letter which emerged demanding his further expulsion; a letter which has now been signed by well over 100 Labour MP’s; what I found most surprising was not the 120-odd names who have signed it - but the missing names of those who hadn’t.
Over the past few years, the likes of Angela Rayner and Jonathan Reynolds have presented themselves as allies of the Jewish community and called for the rooting out of antisemitism wherever it presents itself.
However, along with fellow shadow front benchers like Andrew Gwynn, they now seem to be amongst those Labour MP’s missing from the list of signatories.
As a constituent, one needs to ask whether they are in support of the decision to allow Mr Williamson back into the party or not - or could it be that they are so concerned about their climb up the greasy pole that they are unable to disagree with their leader on this vital issue?
