We welcome, with faint praise, a statement from the Labour Party NEC that they will be investigating Michael Foster's irresponsible and highly offensive comments printed in an interview with the Mail on Sunday, last weekend. We say this, because an immediate suspension, pending further investigation would be the correct and consistent course of action taken in these circumstances. We question whether Mr Foster's financial relationship with the Labour Party have spared his course of action. The recent Chakrabarti report was very clear: 'no Nazi analogies' are to be used by Labour Party members. We implore the NEC to take further, decisive action and immediately suspend Michael Foster, for the sake of justice and integrity.
