What the petition asks
Seven MPs have resigned from the Labour Party citing institutional antisemitism as among the main reasons for their departure.
In my view that’s not the whole truth. We have duties to inform the common people and test this through the by election.

Seven MPs have resigned from the Labour Party citing institutional antisemitism as among the main reasons for their departure.
At a press conference in London, Liverpool Wavertree MP Luciana Berger said she was "embarrassed and ashamed" to be a member of the Labour Party which she said was "institutionally antisemitic" and had "a culture of bullying, bigotry and intimidation". Ms Berger has long been a target for antisemitic Labour activists who have plied her with abuse and death threats.
