When it comes to the question of antisemitism in the Labour Party, central to the issue are allegations Labour isn't dealing with complaints quickly or seriously.聽

Writing in The Times, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said "claims that the party was doing everything it reasonably can to tackle anti-Jewish racism - and that it has 'investigated every single case' - are a mendacious fiction".

Rabbi Mirvis cites figures from the Jewish Labour Movement that there are at least 130 high level outstanding antisemitism cases.

Labour says these figures are wrong - but hasn't released any counter data.

So what do we know?

Labour's most recent figures - from January to June this year - suggest they received complaints of antisemitism against 625 Labour party members in that six month period.

Some are still being processed, some have been dismissed, but they say 97 members were referred through to its highest level disciplinary body, the National Constitutional Committee (NCC).

Twenty-eight of those cases were concluded - with eight expulsions.

That would leave 69 unresolved high level cases, by their own figures - but that only covers a six month period.

So we don't know how many remain unresolved from the year before (previous figures suggest 24 but these may have been resolved).

We also don't know the number of new cases outstanding since June.

But Peter Mason from the Jewish Labour movement who is a member of Labour's NCC told Sky News the party does know because he saw the figure at the NCC annual general meeting and there are more than 130 outstanding cases.

Mr Mason also claims this is just the tip of the iceberg and there are numerous claims that are backed up in the earlier tiers of the adjudication process.

Labour says it won't offer a running commentary but critics think that's part of the problem - the board of deputies of British Jews has described the process as an "opaque and factional disciplinary process".

Labour stresses that complaints where the party's rules on antisemitism were breached account for just 0.1% of the party's membership.

It is true to say that antisemitism is not just an issue for Labour - it's a growing problem up and down the country.

Home Office figures show there were 672 hate crimes targeting Jewish people in 2017/18 and more than 1,300 in 2018/19 - that's nearly double.

Stats from the Community Safety Trust, which records antisemitic incidents, show a clear rise - to a record high last year at 1,652 in 2018 compared to 546 ten years previously in 2008 - though the charity says in more recent years, there's been more awareness and reporting.

But when it comes to Labour, the party has not been able to provide evidence that back up its leader's claim that every case has been investigated.

Yet nor is there a full picture to confirm the Chief Rabbi's claim that they are not doing all they can to root-out the problem.

We'll know more after an equalities watchdog investigation into Labour returns its conclusions some time after the election.

However, there is no timescale for that report to be published.
