The Labour party has been found to have committed unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination towards Jewish people, a major report into the anti-Semitism scandal found today.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published its report into the party's disciplinary processes and response to complaints.

It comes after years of complaints over how allegations of anti-Semitism were dealt with under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.

Labour's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said ahead of the release of the report that the anti-Semitism controversy had been a "shameful" period in the party's history.
