Clearly, Rebecca Long-Bailey is the latest victim of the anti-left witch-hunt, which was started to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn and in order to assure Britain’s allies that imperialism would remain ‘safe’ under Labour. The statement by Labour Against the Witchhunt exposes the absurdity of the charge that she was “spreading an antisemitic conspiracy theory”.
