BREAKING: Labour NEC approves its organisational sub-committee decision not to endorse International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism, and agrees to re-open code of conduct for further discussion of adoption of IHRA with Jewish community. Clear?

But Rachel Garnham said: "The IHRA guidelines are deeply flawed. They conflate criticisms of the state of Israel with antisemitism.” Sounds pretty "against" to me.

Sounds like chaos at Labour NEC debate on anti-Semitism definition. Chairman Andy Kerr, backed by Jeremy Corbyn, arguing there shouldn't be a vote on it, but being challenged by George Howarth MP.

Jon Lansman and Rhea Wolfson likely to vote for party leadership position (against IHRA definition) or abstain, I'm told.

Labour NEC debating whether party should adopt International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism. Party leadership, Keith Vaz, Momentum and GMB among those opposed. But Unison rep Keith Birch says Jewish community "will not trust us" if they don't.

Downing Street says it is “considering all the recommendations which have been received” on early recess plan. Sounds like it’s going to be ditched, though not sure how they do it.

As Labour's NEC meets to debate the issue, @lucianaberger writes for PolHome about how the party will "wear the stain of racism" if it does not adopt the internationally-recognised definition of anti-Semitism.

Confirmed: Labour will vote AGAINST government motion for early summer recess. Will ministers now pull it to avoid humiliating defeat?

It’s depressing that this needs explaining, but the reason Labour antisemitism is back in the news is because the party leadership decided against endorsing the internationally-recognised definition of the problem NOT because Labour is ahead in the polls.
