Justice Demands that Jeremy Newmark of the JLM is Suspended from the Labour Party Forthwith Pending an Investigation - Sign the Petition

Sign the Petition to Labour’s National Executive Committee and Iain McNicol

Over 200 members of the Labour Party have signed a letter to  the NEC and Iain McNicol, General Secretary of the Labour Party, demanding that Jeremy Newmark, former Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, is suspended. 


Serious allegations of fraud and theft have been made against Newmark, the former Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement. Revealed: JLC audit reports Jeremy Newmark deceived it out of thousands of pounds
Iain McNicol - the crooked General Secretary of the Labour Party who has been responsible for the suspension of thousands of socialists but who considers fraud a 'private' matter
It appears that the real reasons for Newmark’s departure in 2013 as Chief Executive of the Jewish Leadership Council were not ill-health but fraud.  Newmark was forced to resign after being confronted with the results of an internal audit into the JLC’s finances which alleged that he had defrauded them to the tune of tens of thousands of pounds. The Jewish Chronicle alleges that the JLC trustees covered up the real reasons for Newmark’s departure.  An internal audit alleged thatit appears to be standard practice in the JLC to falsify information relating to finance”. The Jewish Leadership Council has more questions to answer
These allegations, if true, cannot help but damage the reputation of the Labour Party.  We cannot accept the reasons given by McNicol for refusing to suspend Newmark, namely that this is a ‘private’ matter and that Newmark ‘strongly denies’ the allegations.  If the allegations of fraud against a charity are true then they are anything but private. BREAKING NEWS - Iain McNicol Refuses to Suspend Jeremy Newmark over Serious Corruption Allegations - It's a 'Private Matter'

Of course Mr Newmark denies the allegations.  We wouldn’t expect anything else.  That is why he should be suspended, like thousands of other Labour Party members, pending an investigation.
No one has played a more important role in the witch-hunt of socialists in the Labour Party than Newmark.  Newmark and his Zionist friends reacted to the left victory in the recent NEC elections and the replacement of Anne Black as Chair of the Disputes Committee by demanding that the expulsion of socialists be stepped up.  Jewish Labour group accuses party of failing to act on antisemitism complaints
Demonstration outside Labour Party conference calling on McNicol to resign
Last year there was an inkling of what had previously occurred when the Jewish Chronicle broke a story on how Newmark had avoided paying an Israeli taxi driver some £3,000.
Last Friday Newmark reluctantly resigned as Chair of the JLM.  Now he must also be suspended from the Labour Party as have thousands of other, innocent members.  There cannot be one rule for most people and another for friends of McNicol. We know that McNicol has always been reluctant to suspend opponents of Jeremy Corbyn and conversely eager to suspend or auto-exclude those who are his supporters.
In happier times - McNicol at Downing Street with David Cameron

We demand an end to these double standards.

Letter Sent to National Executive Committee of the Labour Party and Iain McNicol

Dear Mr McNicol,
You are undoubtedly aware by now of the serious allegations of fraud and theft which have been made against Jeremy Newmark in the Jewish Chronicle. [Revealed: JLC audit reports Jeremy Newmark deceived it out of thousands of pounds] [1] Mr Newmark, who until recently was Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement was Labour’s PPC at the last General Election for Finchley and Golders Green constituency and is currently Leader of the Labour Group on Hertsmere Council.
These allegations have been backed up by a comprehensive internal audit[2] by the organisation for which Mr Newmark was Chief Executive Officer, the Jewish Leadership Council.
We are extremely surprised that you haven’t moved quickly to protect the reputation of the Labour Party by suspending Mr Newmark under Rule 2.1.8 pending an investigation. 
Unlike the thousands of people who have been suspended in the past two years, often for nothing more than an innocent tweet or remark taken out of context, Mr Newmark is alleged to have stolen or misappropriated thousands of pounds of charitable monies.  The cover up of this alleged theft is now the subject of a Charity Commission investigation.[3] [Jewish Leadership Council will co-operate with Charity Commission over Newmark allegations]
Mr Newmark, in his role as Chair of the JLM, has been the driving force in the suspension or expulsion of people on the grounds of ‘anti-Semitism’.  Barely three weeks ago Jeremy Newmark was publicly criticising the Labour Party for failing to expel Jackie Walker, Marc Wadsworth, Tony Greenstein, Ken Livingstone and other members on the grounds of ‘anti-Semitism’. Jewish Labour group accuses party of failing to act on antisemitism complaints
Given the high public profile of Mr Newmark and his propensity for demanding disciplinary action against other members of the Labour Party we feel that it is only fair that Mr Newmark should be treated in the same way as his many victims.  We are therefore making a formal complaint against Mr Newmark for having brought the party into disrepute and we expect that you will suspend him immediately from membership in order that we can avoid further damaging headlines.
We look forward to hearing from you.
