Britain's Labour Party launches anti-semitism inquiry
LONDON - Britain's opposition Labour party has launched an inquiry into how to tackle anti-semitism after suspending former London mayor Ken Livingstone days before it contests elections in London, Scotland and Wales.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn - a close ally of party veteran Livingstone - said in a statement late on Friday that he would propose a new code of conduct explicitly banning anti-semitism and other forms of racism.
"There is no place for anti-semitism or any form of racism in the Labour party, or anywhere in society," he said.
