He was quoted as saying:"The point of him is that he will look at the speed of dealing with cases, the administration of them, and the collation of the evidence before it is put before appropriate panels and things. "Because I was concerned that evidence was either being mislaid, ignored or not used and that there had to be some better system."According to the newspaper, he also revealed that he had been a target of abuse, and he reportedly said:"You see, I get a huge amount of abusive stuff, mostly, some of it's quite threatening, you know, murder and stuff."in the Labour leader over his handling of the antisemitism row that has engulfed the party.
