Jeremy Corbyn

• I AM writing to express my dismay at the group letter insisting on restoring the whip to Jeremy Corbyn, (Sir Keir needs to back down now, November 26).

Have these people formed a Trumpian satellite state that ignores inconvenient truths?

On what grounds can they dismiss and discredit the unbiased, evidence-based, and thorough reports from transparent, independent bodies such as the Equality and Human Rights Commission?

I wish I could choose to ignore or reject the judge’s finding in the long Johnny Depp trial, as I met Depp and couldn’t imagine him beating a woman.

Corbyn had years to clean up the undeniable anti-Semitism in his party and would not. He had the chance to apologise and rebound after losing the election and he could not.

He had the chance to make amends when the EHRC report was issued and despite the credibility of the testimonials attacked it as being “exaggerated”. Then, under pressure, he tried, unconvincingly, to retract his shameful statement.

Anti-Semitism notwithstanding why bring back the man who handed Boris Johnson the job of prime minister on a silver platter and whose indecisiveness on Brexit has condemned the United Kingdom to a bleak economic future and an unstable world?

By dividing the Labour Party over a has-been, when Sir Keir Starmer is gaining ground in the polls, these signatories are handing the dysfunctional Tory party another undeserved windfall.
