Kate Osamor will need to work with Jewish groups and Holocaust charities to truly understand the offence she caused

Our statement on the news that Kate Osamor MP has had the whip restored by the Labour Party.

“Many in the Jewish community will be understandably reluctant to welcome the news of Labour’s readmission of Kate Osamor, unless they see evidence to show that her apology is a sincere one. If Ms Osamor’s remorse is genuine, she will now seek to work with mainstream Jewish groups, as well as key Holocaust charities, to understand why what she said was profoundly offensive to so many of us.”
