Matt Hancock sparks row after branding Jeremy Corbyn an anti-semite

A row has erupted after Matt Hancock claimed Jeremy Corbyn would be “the first anti-semitic leader of a Western nation since the Second World War” if Labour wins the next election.

The Health Secretary made the incendiary comment as he tried to persuade Tory MPs to back his bid to be Prime Minister.

But Labour hit back, saying some of those in the running to succeed Theresa May had been accused of “racism, Islamophobia, homophobia and misogyny”.

Speaking at a Conservative leadership hustings organised by the ‘One Nation’ group of moderate MPs, Mr Hancock said: “The Conservative party has to get this right.

“If we don't, we could end up with the first anti-semitic leader of a Western nation since the second world war."

His remarks are particularly controversial as they coincided with the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

Informed of what Mr Hancock had said, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell told reporters outside the committee room where the hustings were taking place that the comment was “a disgrace”.

A Labour source added: “This baseless political attack rings hollow from a minister in a party that has supported governments that actively promote anti-semitic policies in Hungary and Poland, and has spent the week wooing Trump - the man who refused to condemn neo-fascists in Charlottesville who chanted ‘Jews will not replace us’.

“Numerous candidates in the Conservative leadership contest have been accused of racism, Islamophobia, homophobia and misogyny, one of whom may be the next Prime Minister."

Meanwhile, Michael Gove told the hustings that he would be willing to delay Brexit past 31 October if it meant getting a deal done - but only by a few weeks.

The remarks are unlikely to win him support from eurosceptic Tories.

And Dominic Raab told the hustings he was “the best placed candidate to deliver Brexit”.

He said: “I have got six years negotiating experience in the Foreign Office, I've seen the EU up front and personal.

“As Brexit Secretary I looked our EU opposite numbers in the eyes. I know the strengths but also the weaknesses of their positions.

“And that’s why we don’t just need a conviction Brexiteer. We need someone who is resolute, but someone who can navigate the rocky path ahead and get Brexit delivered.

“I’m the candidate you can trust, who will give us the best shot of getting a better deal for the UK.”

Think it has gone past the stage now where Corbyn can afford to ignore the likes of this and he has to take legal action against gimps like Hancock and the jewish guy spouting on the day the EHRC announced that they were looking at Labour's disciplinary policy.

And you’re an ignorant cunt who can barely spell his own name, much less put any real thought into the words that you dribble onto the screen. You’re as thick as pig shit and probably smell similar, you sour little cunt. 

 

Ignore the haters, NV. I read this in the voice of The Hound from GoT. Cunt.

I agree mate.  Due to the state of UK politics at the moment certain people think they can say what they want regardless of facts.

Labour hold on to Peterborough. The Brexit Party blames Pakistanis for losing. You just can't take the racist out of Brexit.

On D Day too. Fuck you Lord Haw Haw

That was a really important win.  Everything seemed to be lining up in Farridge's favour.  I don't think a far right party will come that close to a parliamentary seat for a while.

A JVL statement, 4th June 2019

JVL is fully behind Lisa Forbes in her bid to become the Labour Member of Parliament for Peterborough. We are appalled that, once again, accusations of antisemitism are being used in the run up to an election to denounce the Labour candidate and, indeed, the Labour Party.

 

This trolling of social media accounts is pernicious; it is a deeply reprehensible way to conduct political debate. And in the case of Lisa Forbes it has failed to produce any credible evidence of antisemitism. Typical of this degraded and bullying approach is that saying “I enjoyed reading this thread” is taken as an endorsement of every individual statement posted on that thread. In fact the reference in the thread (not made by her) was to Mossad, not Jews. Her personal approach is well represented by her comment that there is “so much that tries to divide us, but there is so much more that unites us all”.

 

This remorseless and repetitive conflation of even self-evidently justified criticism of Israel with a supposed disguised intention of criticising Jews as Jews needs to stop. The constant use of these dishonest methods to attack the Corbyn-led Labour Party is dangerous for free speech, for Jewish people, and for wider democracy. Jewish people do not have different interests from non-Jews. We are all part of this society and have the same need for a progressive, socialist government to help us create a fairer society in the interests of all.

 

For that we need as many Labour MPs as possible and we wish Lisa every success on Thursday.
