This is The Word newspaper.
It’s a Hard Left publication published by a guy called Alan Davies aka Peter Loo.
This is the August edition.
It’s pretty bold dog whistle antisemitism. It’s not the first time this ‘newspaper’ has published a front page like this....

This was another recent edition. It asked ‘Which Side Are You On’ and presented Jeremy Corbyn and starving African children on one side and, prominently, a photo of the ‘Enough is Enough’ rally on the other. It was nakedly antisemitic.

Mr Davies, the man behind ‘The Word’, was reported by @LabourAgainstAS to Labour’s compliance unit for a number of antisemitic messages he posted on social media (not just the ‘Which Side Are You On’ cover).
He was suspended.

However, instead of continuing disciplinary action, Alan Davies continues as a Labour member & is Press Officer for Heywood & Middleton CLP.
He is a member of the Rochdale Local Campaign Forum.
He helps select Labour candidates.
He is a prominent and active Labour activist.

It’s appalling that no action was taken. It is appalling that he continues as a Labour member. The disciplinary process is failing.

Why could it be? Is it cock-up or conspiracy?

By the way, here are some pictures of Jeremy Corbyn.
