So Dave, only Labour and the LibDems mentioned by name, and no other party has suffered any complaints at all from the Jews in their party. Only Labour Jews have complained about it, and quite a lot of them.
That report is out of date anyway, being published in 2016.

It appears that definition of antisemitism has changed from those who do not like Jews to those who criticise Israel, Jim.

No it has not Dave. You are making shit up now.

Of course it impacted the result, Iains, particularly in those areas of high Jewish residence. The thing we must ask ourselves in light of the passage I highlight above is why the mainstream media chose to highlight the "Labour party alone" when even the Parliamentary review accepts it is an issue affecting all parties.

It lost them votes in areas of high Jewish residence like Barnet, but it may have gained them anti-Semite votes elsewhere.

The report says, " It notes that "the failure of the Labour Party consistently to deal with antisemitic incidents in recent years risks lending force to allegations that elements of the Labour movement are institutionally anti-Semitic", but stresses that all parties must examine whether the Committee's recommended reforms should be applied to their own processes for training and disciplining their members and activists."

Other parties should examine themselves, but only Labour is described as having a problem and failing to deal with it.
