The work of the Labour Party's Governance and Legal Unit in relation to antisemitism,2014–2019,is a leaked British dossier written by party staff in response to the Equality and Human Rights Commission's investigation into the party's handling of antisemitism complaints and includes reports of other forms of racism. The report reveals emails of senior party management staff,aligned with the right of the party,and alleges obstruction of justice in dealing with cases of antisemitism and other noted cases of racism,and it does not clear the party of accusations of being "institutionally antisemitic". Although the report states that it "thoroughly disproves any suggestion that antisemitism is not a problem in the Party",or that it is all a smear or a witch-hunt,its main assertion is that rampant factionalism within the party had ultimately led to antisemitism and racism allegations not being dealt with properly.
