The EHRC said it had contacted Labour after receiving a "number of complaints" about antisemitism within the party.
The human rights watchdog added it had "carefully considered" their response before opening the probe.
The investigation will seek to determine whether "unlawful acts have been committed by the party and/or its employees and/or its agents" and whether the party has "responded to complaints of unlawful acts in a lawful, efficient and effective manner".
The watchdog will have the power to force Labour to turn over correspondence, emails and other resources to determine how officials dealt with allegations of antisemitic discrimination.
They are expected to request interviews with key figures in the party.
They will not be able to issue fines or prosecute individuals or organisations. The body can make recommendations and draw up a legally-enforceable action plan.
The only other party to be investigated like this before is the BNP.
So how nice to see the party that calls everyone else racist, to be investigated for racism.
Thoughts?
