Keir Starmer was elected as Leader of the Labour Party in April 2020, pledging to "tear out this poison [of antisemitism] by its roots and judge success by the return of Jewish members and those who felt that they could no longer support us."

Over 18 months into his leadership, how successful has Starmer been in truly rooting out the problem of antisemitism in the Labour Party that so plagued his predecessor? Many of the Labour Party's processes have been reformed, drawing controversy and criticism from Jeremy Corbyn (suspended from the Labour whip) and many of his supporters. But beyond the headlines, has the culture of Labour changed? Is the party a more welcoming place for Jews?

Joining the discussion will be our fantastic panel:

Luisa Attfield - Co-Youth and Students Officer of the Jewish Labour Movement and member of the London Young Labour Executive Committee
