.@EuanPhilipps from @LabourAgainstAS: “They're trying to shift the goalposts again and make it easier for antisemites to stay in @UKLabour...It’s the politics of the 1930s.”

Theresa Villiers MP: “I find it truly astonishing that @UKLabour is ignoring the widely-held definition of antisemitism because it believes it knows best.”

.@GNuseibeh, Chairman of Muslims Against Antisemitism: “Do not hide behind pro-Arab, pro-Muslim or pro-Palestinian causes to justify your racism. We as Muslims do not need your support. We do not need the support of antisemites in @UKLabour.”

.@SSilvUK, CAA’s Director of Investigations and Enforcement: “In the @UKLabour Party, the right to be antisemitic is now to be protected.”

Lord Stuart Polak: “For me this began when the Momentum lot threw a brick through the window of @AngelaEagle when she was standing as leader of @UKLabour. We’ve seen all that before. We know where that has been, and we know where that leads.”

.@RabbiShaw: “It is shocking that I have to think about the modern day @UKLabour Party in the same way as I think about those in our history who have tried to destroy us.”

.@MLewisLawyer: “I am a libel lawyer, but let me tell you that the words ‘@JeremyCorbyn is a racist’ are not defamatory, they’re true. If he wants to sue about that, he can do, but he is a racist, he leads a racist Party and anyone who supports that Party is supporting racism.”

.@IainDale: “I have never ever been on a demonstration before. I have never spoken at a demonstration before. I am not a Jew. But you don’t have to be Jewish to recognise what is happening in the @UKLabour Party.”

.@GideonFalter, CAA Chairman: “By trying to redefine antisemitism his way, @JeremyCorbyn has left no doubt that he is the leader of an antisemitic institution, and he is perfectly happy with that. The @UKLabour Party should be abandoned by all decent people.”

Thanks to everyone who came, to our eloquent and forthright speakers, to the @MetPoliceUK and @CST_UK teams who protected us, and to the CAA staff and volunteers who pulled this whole demonstration together in 48 hours!

And the prize for largest #RacistLabour demonstration photo in a newspaper goes to...!
