    The Jewish community can’t even decide between them which voice ‘represents’ them. The BoD have claimed that position but it’s far from agreed.

    The same red wall that just 2 years before had not only held but in some seats started to re-strengthen. Brexit was the overriding issue - out of the 56 seats lost - 52 were leave constituencies. Even the other 4 - 2 were lost because the Remain vote was split between with the Tories coming...

    There are a few places like that down there. My mum lives in St Mawgan next to the airport and as you head from there towards Newquay there’s some cracking beaches and pubs without having to go anywhere near.

    But you could see it coming a mile off after its success on Corbyn. Sanders responded the way Corbyn should have. He had 40 years of prominent anti-racist campaigning behind him. Not calling it out as bullshit allowed the narrative to be built and embed.

    Too afraid to offend, speak up and you’re a racist - I don’t know. This shit was tried with Sanders in America - difference was he came out guns blazing and stopped it in its tracks.

    Perception? The red wall fell because of Labour’s appalling Brexit position, but it had been crumbling at the edges for a while. What are they looking to see from a Labour leader that will win back their vote? Labour can’t win without taking this back. Their offer needs to be transformative...

    I agree with you - but when you start to dig beyond the surface of what is a very complex situation then you start to see things like this occur. If I was to accuse the Israeli government of being an apartheid state (which it is) there would be some people saying that was anti-semitic (not on...

    Treading very carefully here..... there is a correlation between those that support Palestinian rights and those that are supposedly ‘vehement anti-semites’

    My concern is that we see something like today, where he acted decisively (and probably correctly despite it being very flimsy) and yet on other things him and his shadow cabinet haven’t. Have I missed him calling for Jenrick to go - where the Daily Mail are rampant on it? Nandy not knowing if...

    Really? Their policy on supporting renters during lockdown was very poor. EDIT: I’m not actually suggesting they are pro -austerity but I certainly don’t want to see us drift back to being ambivalent about it.

    Did you not see the infamous article where she said ‘Labour would have cut deeper than the Tories’ re: Austerity If we are talking about how things look then sticking her as a front line shadow cabinet is not good for an anti-austerity party (if that’s what we even are anymore)

    Reeves... she’s got a big thing for austerity. Maybe not a good look for Labour....

    Of which I agree - sorry I think I misunderstood your point. There is a whole other discussion over the validity of the AS ‘crisis’ - save that for the thread when the EHRC report comes out.

    The claim was that Labour was institutionally racist however complaints made to the General Secretary accounted for 0.07% of the membership in total. Which was less than the same figure for AS and Islamaphobia in the Conservative Party.
