" "What you experienced was intolerable and unacceptable. The abuse you suffered was disgusting. You were left isolated and exposed. Shamefully, those who should have defended you stood by.
The Labour Party — our party — has always prided itself on being a party of equality, collectivism, solidarity and anti-racism. But during those dark days we were none of those things.
Before you were forced out of the party, you were an outstanding member of parliament ... Both the Labour Party and British politics are poorer places without you. I would be honoured to work alongside you in continuing to build a Labour Party we can be proud of again — a Labour Party that can win again.

About Luciana Berger
Luciana Clare Berger (born 13 May 1981) is a British former Member of Parliament who represented Liverpool Wavertree from the 2010 to 2019. Previously a member of Labour Co-op, she left in 2019 co-founding The Independent Group, later Change UK, before joining the Liberal Democrats. She rejoined Labour in 2023 at the invitation of Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader. After the election of Labour's former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, Berger was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet in September 2015 as the first Shadow Minister for Mental Health. However, she resigned in June 2016 in the mass resignations of shadow ministers shortly after the referendum vote in favour of Brexit. Her situation was severely affected, as a Jewish woman, by Labour's antisemitism crisis and she suffered abuse (leading to criminal convictions for some of the perpetuators) throughout her parliamentary career.

Additional quotes by Luciana Berger
Only active government can shape markets, create new ones, and create green growth. Individuals and businesses cannot do it alone: they need a government by their side. That's why the Labour government introduced the Climate Change Act in 2008 to enshrine carbon targets in law, and to move Britain from a high-carbon to a low-carbon economy. We planned to achieve 40% low-carbon electricity by 2020, and to create 400,000 new jobs in green businesses.
This government inherited a range of green initiatives, such as the green investment bank, which they've watered-down, or punted into the long grass. The Tory-led government's blinkered focus on the deficit means they are not making the right strategic decisions for now or for the next generation. Their promised green economy road map will appear many months after the publication of their energy bill.
[On deciding to openly challenge Jeremy Corbyn] It was the Friday before the Monday of the Enough Is Enough demonstration outside Parliament.
I hadn't actually seen it [the mural] before then, despite it being discussed on blogs and written about in the JC before.
But I didn't get a proper response [from Mr Corbyn], then there was the fight to get the party to adopt the IHRA definition in full, which even at the last moment there was an attempt to undermine.
Then there was what became known as the 'summer of antisemitism' - all the connections Jeremy had made, his statements of July, August and September - it really has got worse.
More recently, two weeks in a row at the meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, we had a motion that was unanimously supported by party colleagues calling on the leadership to release the information about antisemitism cases - and we were held with utter contempt.
This has been something the leadership has sought to dismiss and turn a blind eye to every step of the way.
That is why I have come to the conclusion the party is institutionally antisemitic.
I said 'Enough is Enough' and I challenged it from within. Now I mean Enough IS Enough.
[On abusive Twitter posts] Online hate needs to be taken as seriously as offline hate – but it isn’t. Twitter’s response isn't good enough. It has a responsibility to do more to protect its users. The site is letting me and many others down who have been the subject of lots of hate ... It could start by proactively banning racist words which aren't allowed to printed in newspapers or broadcast on TV that could never be used in a positive way – such as kike – a derogative and anti-Semitic term for describing a Jew.
