He was misquoted and the knee jerk reaction was to suspend him, that was the wrong thing to do.

It effectively sent out the message that he is the fall guy and to appease his detractors he had to go. Without acknowledging he made a valid point.

The public understanding was that up to a third of members were antisemitic, the true number as found was 0.3% this is an absolutely massive discrepancy and warranted a mention.

He was clear that 0.3% was too many too, the findings were not downplayed at all, it was never intimated the damage was overestimated or the response to the found failings in the party were. The only overestimate was how widespread the problem was within the party membership, for me that clarification was justified.

It's needed because of posts like this and others where for some reason supporting Corbyn can lead to unfounded accusations of antisemitism.

His first reaction to the report was to say it was overstated, and that he abhors all forms of racism, when the report wasn't about "all forms" of racism. Maybe he should have thrown in an #AllLivesMatter too?

Or maybe he should have apologised that the problem reached the height it did under his watch, and left it at that.
