The anti-semitism critics were mainly from his own party.

yeah, Blairites trying their best to undermine the democratically elected leader, did you realise that there was/is a power struggle within the party?

There usually is within any party ......

That's what politics is all about.

“Labour’s slow-motion collapse into the arms of the People’s Vote movement and others who have never accepted the democratic decision of June 2016 for a single moment which has caused this defeat”.

Len McCluskey

 

Labour heartlands didn't vote Labour because they believed that the party no longer respected the referendum result, and that the party was opposed to any form of Brexit.

Your bias is showing again banjo, do you watch tv much ? 

banjo is exactly right. And he is far from alone in thinking it. Even Andrew Niel, not a fan of Corbyn at any time, has said the media has been biased against him, and that he is no anti-semitic, terrorist etc. 

 

You do realise that chief complainant, multi-millionaire Margaret Hodge, is a member of the Oppenheimer family who own the mult-millionnaire steel trading Coorporation, Stemcor, one of the world's biggest steel-trading Corporations, and her daughter, a journalist, is now  deputy editor of the BBC TV news channel?

 

No conflict of interest or bias there then...

No he's not, how can he tell you about politics on tv when he hasn't seen it ? clairvoyant perhaps ? You are avoiding the truth that Corbyn is not fit to lead the party, never mind the country. Momentum saw him to his end , people didn't want it and voted accordingly.

I hear that Greta Thunberg is happy now that the UK has gone Corbyn neutral!

Jeeez, are you for real? do you really think that television is your only source of political information, you really need to start and broaden your horizon, do you believe everything that the man on the box tells you?

You have missed the point entirely. banjo is not the issue. There are many, many people who have claimed the media is biased against Corbyn. Many of them very well informed and people with no love for Corbyn. 

 

See also my point above (post 9558) about conflicts of interest as to why certain people in the Labour party are biased against Corbyn.

My horizons are wide enough thanks, but yours missed the truth, both jez and boris had plenty of stick.

Centre and Right leaning press don't like Corbyn and his ideas shocker. Centre and Right leaning consumers of Centre and Right leaning press agree that they don't like his ideas. No shocker.

 

The Daily Mirror supports Corbyn. Answer me this; why don't more people buy the Daily Mirror?

Wasn't one of Corbyn's election pledges going to have everyone in the country get a free daily copy of the Daily Mirror, Guardian and Morning Star?
