Maybe it’s interesting that elements of the Labour Party, attracted by JC are anti Semitic. The Conservative Party is a fundamentally and institutionally racist organisation.

Seems like Labour is outdoing them currently.....

Loved Marina's column. Should have gone to MonocleSavers was genius.

They’re not though are they? Obviously and there is the problem, it’s stopped having anything to do with reality.

Just like always, people with really right leaning politics are despicable racist *****. JC is a great anti fascist campaigner and has nothing to do with anti semitism.

Don’t tell me tell Chukka, it’s the serious people in labour that could get elected in right now that are saying it, not the racist jokes that will never get elected like JC.....

Dawn Butler, Shadow Equalities Minister says "I have literally spent all of [my] life fighting racism"
How does soiling nappies and crying to be fed equate to fighting racism?
I am literally vaguely disappointed at yet another ludicrously lazy piece of political hyperbole.

Well poor old JC has the worst ever PR then. He has played this situation so badly. He has pissed off the very people he should be trying to engage with.

Lets hope he keeps pushing to the left with the reasonable, sane, moderate members leaving the Party. That way the crackpot wont get anywhere near power.

Then the party split happens and the Tories are in for the next decade at least, sick strategy JC.....

Very good assessment though.

Have to say, the anti-semitism and the whole Russian thing had me wondering how to support the current leadership.

I'm not a flag waving anti communist but it felt ridiculous to be even faintly questioning the 'who' in this affair - hope time doesn't prove me naive in believing it could only have been Russia.

On balance I find myself supporting the Labour party and their broad move to the left versus the Blair days but find most left wing supporters of the party pretty intolerable - primarily because they seem so intolerant and angry and whataboutist on just about everything. People and society oriented principles just become lodestars for ranty, boring, victim shite.

Boom lodestar.
