    Point proven If shed been in Corbyns cabinet you'd have heard about her praising Nancy Astor (rabid anti Semite) in a speech. Absolutely no two ways about it.

    Don't get me wrong. There is an issue with some people on the left. I've often heard people make a legitimate criticism of Israel and follow it up with a trope or some global conspiracy bollocks

    Because it's been weaponised. And I don't agree that Jewish people do. Some parts of the Jewish community do for sure. But the Jewish community isn't one entity with one opinion. Johnson cosied up to the biggest antisemite leader in Europe, who incidentally has just gone full facist, and no one...

    And this sort of proves the point on nationalisation policy. Even those of us broadly behind it disagree with which sectors to target with the exception of rail which seemed to have a lot of support even among Tory voters. It should have been a simple the railways are costing the tax payer this...

    I disagree on water. We should renationalise and get what is becoming an increasingly precious commodity under state ownership. The water companies are constantly under performing and send fortunes out of the country in terms of dividends. I agree about the mail and like your idea on...

    Saw that interview. Depressing stuff. We definitely locked down too late. But as ever hindsight is a wonderful thing. I just hope Johnson didn't ignore his medical team to go with advise given by Cummings because that would be unforgivable.

    I haven't had a go at you for saying so. The campaign was a shambles. Like I said, and I might be wrong, I dont think he has acknowledged that.

    I'm not saying Starmer was behind it but if people actually care about the antisemitism issue in the Labour party then why would they suppress the report considering it looks like it contains a wealth on new evidence, (if this isn't the case that will soon become evident when it's submitted)...

    he made many,many mistakes. George Galloway did a critique of his leadership on his radio show last week and he was spot on with many of his observations. I liked a lot of what he was trying to do but with hindsight, and it was obvious at the time to many but I didn't see it clearly myself, he...

    I'd imagine the party lawyers can only recommend not submitting it. I doubt they could instruct the party leader or those concerned not to. As far as I'm concerned we have a man at the helm who has refused to reveal his financial backers and who has suppressed an important report, red flags...

    renationalisng railways does not cost billions, it doesn't cost anything if you do it as franchises expire. The government do it all the time. It was the renationisation of utilities that would cost billions.

    Indeed, he quoted only the sources who want the report suppressed, the first half of the report tells a different story. Astute is quite within his rights to agree with the former but personally I don't.

    I don't think a policy to renationalise the railways was the probelm , it was that that policy extended to renationalising everything. I think renationalising railways was popular. Not that that made a great deal of difference over all. It was a poor campaign and the concessions made to...

    hes in charge of the party. You can guarantee if the report had fitted the agenda it would have been submitted. There were also charges of bullying in the report and some of the detail is being leaked on social media, it's bad, including the bullying of one young man with mental health issues...
