Politician's weaselly words in action; he was suspended for saying 'the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents' but he's actually now saying 'To be clear, concerns about antisemitism are neither “exaggerated” nor “overstated”'. There's a marked difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
the_bloke   17 #317 Posted November 17, 2020 In other news, it looks like the disgraced ex Labour MP Baron Ahmed - Lord of Rotherham - , suspended from the Labour Party over anti-semitism and later resigned, is likely to be the first ever life peer to be expelled from the house of Lords after he retired from politics last week ahead of a report into his alleged sexual assault and exploitation.

Labour has lost more than 5,000 members since Corbyn was suspended. The last straw was Starmer threatening expulsion to anybody defending Corbyn. So much for free speech...

He’s back in the party, but not yet in the PLP.  But I did post details of Corbyn’s climb down earlier.  You should check it out. The hypocrisy is breathtaking for one so pure.

Your opinion isn’t the only one that counts. You don’t get to “pull me up” about anything.  2. You usually only find things that are hidden if you bother to look properly for them.  3. https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/13434_20-Statistics-Report-No-Place-For-Antisemitism.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
