  1. The relevant part of the article for those that won’t read the whole thing…

    > Panorama quoted Milne saying the Labour Party was “muddling up political disputes with racism”.

    > It omitted the first half of the sentence, which revealed Milne was talking about a specific disciplinary case.

    > Milne wrote: “This member is a Jewish activist, the son of a Holocaust survivor. If we’re more than very occasionally using disciplinary action against Jewish members for anti-Semitism, something’s going wrong, and we’re muddling up political disputes with racism. Quite apart from this specific case, I think going forward we need to review where and how we’re drawing the line if we’re going to have clear and defensible processes.”
