Jonathan Freedland "Labour doesn't have zero tolerance of antisemitism if Chris Williamson is an MP" The Guardian (27 February 2019).
“
Labour's insistence that the party is an implacable foe of anti-Jewish racism is rendered laughable every day that Chris Williamson remains a Labour MP. The anti-racist charity Hope Not Hate is right to demand he be stripped of the Labour whip. If the Labour party fails to make that move, then it will have passed judgment on itself – and that judgment will be damning.
