Which is rather annoying given that no-one in the history of the world has endorsed, defended, advocated and stood alongside anti-semites more than Jeremy Corbyn,

:nod: It is effectively an admission that no transgression, no past disloyalty or behaviour will exclude you from the Labour Party just so long as you profess undying loyalty to the leadership. That is literally the only thing that counts. :shakehead:

Oddly enough, the most savage hatchet job on him today is actually in The Guardian.

These 11 fearless souls have concluded that if you can't change an organisation from within you have no choice but to leave it.

You can't fault their logic.

Unlike this lot, the Gang of Four were actually senior political heavyweights. Even the 'other one' had been a secretary of state.

Sadly, methinks those two messages are going to get mixed up.

Right-wingers constantly shouting 'racist' or 'Anti-Semite' at political opponents sounds to me just like left-wingers constantly shouting 'racist' or 'Islamophobe' at their political opponents. Childish and insincere name-calling all round imo.
