Over 200 Jewish members and supporters of the Labour party sign a letter urging that anyone seeking an end to bigotry and racism should back Labour and Corbyn https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/20/jeremy-corbyn-labour-party-crucial-ally-in-fight-against-antisemitism “We note the worrying growth of populist rightwing parties, encouraging racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism. In Britain the far right is whipping up these prejudices, a threat that requires a resolute and energetic response. But instead we have seen a disproportionate focus on antisemitism on the left, which is abhorrent but relatively rare.” Mmmm.... That doesn’t quite gel with the ‘I had to leave the Labour Party because anti-Semitism is so wide spread’ narrative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how much coverage this gets in the msm and especially the BBC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It was never about the anti semitism it was just a convenient excuse. Corbyn could convert to Judaism and start bulldozing West Bank orphanages and they would still have left. The Labour Right have lost control of the party. Instead of working together on common interests, they've decided to either destabilise the party or quit it altogether. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I probably believe that as well, which makes the whole 'principled stand' schtick pretty hard to go along with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I hope George Galloway gets back into labour. Last time I saw him do anything he was sitting beside a Tory under the "better together" banner, wearing a stupid hat, and getting the absolute pish ripped out of him by schoolkids on live TV. More of that please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Tom Watson running a campaign to make the Labour Party unelectable if a GE is called. I’m now convinced he wants kicked out of the Labour Party; maybe he sees himself as a potential leader of the new traitor group. He will certainly never be leader of the Labour Party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If only there was a recent example for why Corbyn shouldn’t take Watson’s advice and appoint a load of moderates to the shadow cabinet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what these f*ckers get for sticking their heads up the Tory arse in 2014....and for encouraging Labour voters to give their votes to the Tories in the last elections. I hope Labour in Scotland dies a long, painful death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
