Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

Seems to believe what he says as well. Which I think warrants a big a bit of respect at least.

He's like a retired teacher you met down the pub.

We might have more anti-Semite bullshit incoming tomorrow (or sooner).

Survey of 27,000 left-wing Twitter accounts shows nearly a fifth promote or engage in antisemitism

 

Hope Not Hate calls out 'chilling' failure of Labour to understand the Jewish community’s concerns

A survey of thousands of left-wing social media accounts by Hope Not Hate found that nearly a fifth promote or engage in antisemitism.

The anti-fascist group’s “State of Hate 2019” report into racism — to be published on Monday — analysed 27,000 Twitter profiles that follow a selection of UK-based left-wing accounts which “regularly spread antisemitic ideas”.

 

 

Or maybe a 'chilling' failure of Hope Not Hate to understand what anti-Semitism actually means, fave part :

 

Quote

The most common type of Jew-hate displayed was “conspiratorial antisemitism”, which involves the use of antisemitic tropes.

 

Of the antisemitic tropes employed, the most common was the suggestion that the “Zionist or Israel lobby” or even “Mossad” was somehow steering UK domestic politics.

 

 

"Jew hate". Fuck off. Israeli lobbies, Zionists, and Mossad do not represent all Jews, and many of their actions actually play a part in creating genuine anti-Semitism in the first place. People that are against those groups but also stupid enough to add in Jewish people in general amongst them being one example. Or those that see what those groups are doing and then become more likely to entertain other ideas that are genuinely anti-Semitic.

 

The idea that these groups can't have any influence on UK politics is just comical. To then add in that it's an anti-Semitic trope as well is just taking the piss. The support of Ilhan Omar from so many Jewish people and groups recently and the repeated explanations of how this clearly isn't anti-Semitism is something that these idiots should maybe have a read up on. It falls under the exact same category of bullshit. Or maybe all those Jewish people and groups are "self-hating Jews" or something and we need to read up more.

Tores also called out for Islamophobia by the same group, let's see if that's reported along with the anti-Semitism one if they run with it. Maybe they'll add it as a footnote to the Labour articles so that they can't be accused of ignoring it, even though they didn't really cover it at the same time.

It's a typical thing we see from the media, to portray the Labour front bench as wacky.

 

Answering a question honestly shouldn't be considered wacky.

It's fucking mental just to allow yourself to get involved. You're blaming the press for McDonnell being a bit of a tit. You sound like an Evertonian conspiracist.

Fuck me, Momentum are having a bad day on Twitter.  It’s fucking hilarious.  Whoever said the left will eat itself was spot on. 

 

 

[moof]

How are momentum having a bad day? They just denounced a concocted smear attempt... it works both ways. Riley is enough of a cunt for people to not have to doctor islamaphobic images to damage her. Momentum are correct, here.

Hahahaha. Yes. That's the most hilariousist thing I've ever seen. Oh my!

Old school politician. Say what you want about the Tories from the 80s but they at least had some brains and gravitas, compared to Johnson, Cameron and Osborne at least. Saying that though so does a venus fly trap.

Corbyn's doing a great job at enabling a Tory destruction of the UK as it is. Best to jump ship before the natives work out what's happened in 40 days time.

[Rico1304]

I thought this was going to split the Tories? Funny old world. 

 

if it doesn’t happen nice of Owen to point out the inadequacy of those MPs.

A journalist asked him a stupid question; he tried to answer it honestly. The only clips I've seen are of McDonnell getting as far as "Tonypandy; Villain..." Did he add anything to balance that? Who knows? The media coverage has almost all been about slagging him off as a "Poundland Lenin". Maybe he could have refused to answer or he could have said "both", but I'm not convinced that would have made much difference. 

 

And if you equate the obvious and understandable enmity of most of the media to the Labour leadership with the absurd delusions of GOT's finest, then frankly you're a fucking moron.

If the rumours are true and they plan on calling their new party The Reformist Party, it seems a bit of an odd name for a party that wants to work towards maintaining the status quo.

Nick Boles, Alan Duncan and Sarah Wollastone all under threat of deselection according to The Telegraph this morning. UKIP infiltration alleged by Anna Soubry.

 

It's just a bed of roses in the Tory party.

Liberal Democratic Reformist Party in a couple of years then. If they actually go ahead with it.

Can they not just join the Lib Dems? Or are they too left wing?

Indeed, how on earth can anybody from the Labour movement believe this is a good idea? Have they completely ignored what happened with the SDP, and that its formation led to another 13 years of the Tories in power?
