Jim,
there is no indication whatever that those accusations have any foundation

Yes there is.
"The NEC are appalled by recent cases of anti-Semitic abuse. "
" The entire NEC recognises the seriousness of this issue and is committed to addressing all the issues raised by these inquiries."

Steve, I have debunked you Wheatcroft claims many times and am happy to keep doing it.
I quoted him accurately and in full.

you misrepresented Jackie Butler by leaving inconvenient bits out of the quote (a misquote, in other words)

Not true.
I referred to the BBC report on her reinstatement, and quoted their first 3 sentences in full.

Jackie Walker's suspension was lifted following an investigation, the party said.
The Kent activist and vice chair of the Momentum movement wrote about "the African holocaust" and Jews as "chief financiers of the slave trade".

Here is the rest of the piece.
I did not leave out any of her contentious remarks.
Your claim is false.


She said the past few weeks had been "a living nightmare".
Ms Walker said: "I am glad this investigation has fully cleared me of any wrongdoing.
"I am not a racist, but I robustly defend my right and the right of others to speak openly and frankly about matters of grave political and historical importance."


It is not true that I "misrepresented Jackie Butler by leaving inconvenient bits out of the quote "

That is all the BBC piece had about it.
I quoted them in full.

Anything else Steve?
