Today we remember the Nazi genocide of European Roma, the #Porajmos for which after a millennium of persecution they got no compensation, no homeland, just more of the same through the Cold War, east & west, & now yet worse from neo-fascists in Italy & Hungary

I've written for @Guardian about why the @UKLabour Code of Conduct is the gold standard for political parties. It adopts the IHRA definition and expands on its examples, requiring a higher standard of behaviour. It should be celebrated and replicated.

Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties | Jon Lansman

The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel, says Momentum founder Jon Lansman
