Following the suspension of Islington MP Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party, we asked Labour councillors if:
- they agreed with the Equality and Human Rights Commission(EHRC) report’s findings into anti-Semitism in Labour?
- they agreed with Labour Leader Keir Starmer’s message to those who think allegations of anti-Semitism are exaggerated or a factional attack?
- they supported the decision to suspend Jeremy Corbyn?
Since then, the majority of Labour councillors, including Council Leader Richard Watts and Islington's other Labour MP, Emily Thornberry have remained silent.
Our petition to Council Leader Watts and Islington South & Finsbury MP Thornberry
“We call on Council Leader Richard Watts and Islington South & Finsbury MP Emily Thornberry to answer the following questions:

- do you agree with Labour Leader Keir Starmer’s message to those who think allegations of anti-Semitism are exaggerated or a factional attack?
- do you support the decision to suspend Jeremy Corbyn?”
We will include your name and address when submitting the petition to Council Leader Richard Watts and Labour MP Emily Thornberry.
