More than that Keir Starmer is a Barrister, has had proper professional career as a QC, very pertinent to Brexit and its negotiations. Of course good leadership surround themselves recognise competent people and more than happy to recognise talents of individuals in the team. So Jeremy Corbyn does not do autocratic leadership, good thing is it not?

Does that mean on Wednesday that Corbyn was a mental health specialist and the shadow minister for the same department?

Prone to the gaff, However, absolutely bang on the money for a constituency MP, working class black women attending Cambridge in the 1970s, plenty to deride...

She holds her position because of her previous involvement with Corbyn. Remember even during the election when she made a complete pillock of herself she was ‘sicked’ by the party to keep her out of the way. She is an absolute liability.....

Yeah, like she wants to deprive folk the opportunity she gave her kids. And openly admits to being a hypocrite about it. Lovey person. So principled.

Her recent continus increase vote share started as a constituent MP started in 2010 under Brown then Milliband, not much to do with Corbyn!
Principled mother, black women going to Cambridge in the 70s, can see why she had 14.1 % positive swing in the last election in Hackney North and Stoke Newington and has taken her share of the vote from 48.1% to 75.1%. Despite the negativties highlighted she is doing something right?
Labour's silence on this, shows that flinging 'anti-semitism' at people, in particular Corbyn, and the Labour party works.

Israel 'terrified' of Corbyn as PM, Israeli activist tells Labour audience ...
BRIGHTON - Israel is “terrified” of Jeremy Corbyn becoming British prime minister and will do everything they can to stop him, a leading Israeli activist and writer told an audience of Labour party members on Monday.
Miko Peled, who has spoken around the world against Israel’s occupation, was speaking in Brighton during the Labour Party conference where Corbyn’s position has been strengthened following the 8 June election.

Peled said the Israelis “are terrified of the possibility of Jeremy Corbyn being prime minister. They are going to pull all the stops, they are going to smear, they are going to try anything they can to stop Corbyn from being prime minister."
He said it was up to Labour members to stop that happening. “Jeremy Corbyn is an opportunity for Britain that, if it gets lost, won’t come back for a very long time.”
The meeting exposed cracks within the ranks of Labour’s Jewish membership with one audience member calling for the Jewish Labour Movement, which has traditionally supported Israel, to be expelled from the party.
The meeting was organised by a rival group, Jewish Voice for Labour, which advocates Palestinian rights and supports the boycott campaign against Israel.
British-Palestinian barrister and campaigner Salma Karmi-Ayyoub warned the meeting that if what she described as the “New Anti-Semitism campaign” was successful, activists would not be able to criticise Israeli policies or demand Palestinian rights.
"The issue is that the Jewish state in the form that Israel is now is incompatible with Palestinian rights. That is just the reality. You can't have both."
Israel is using the anti-Semitism label to block all meaningful discussions on Palestine, she said. “I’ve been in a meeting with a spokesman for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs who said the [Palestinian] right of return is anti-Semitic,” she said.
“What Israel now faces as a result of its own expansion is a bi-national reality. It faces a choice of becoming an apartheid state or a state of all its citizens,” said Karmi-Ayyoub, who is co-chair of the British legal charity Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights.
Following his 2015 surprise election to the Labour leadership, Corbyn faced criticism over alleged anti-Semitism in the party and a commission was set up to investigate the claims, while a number of Labour members were suspended for alleged anti-Semitism.
"The reason anti-Semitism is used is because they [the Israelis] have no argument, there is nothing to say," said Peled. "How can a call for justice and tolerance be conflated with anti-Semitism? I don't know if they realise this but they are pitting Judaism against everything good and just."
Labour leaders have traditionally supported a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine issue, although there has been a push ahead of the conference for the party to take a more pro-Palestinian stance.
Peled has spoken around the world about his experience of growing up as the son of Israeli general and war hero Matti Peled, losing a niece to a Palestinian suicide bomber and his growing opposition to Israel’s occupation.
Corbyn has been an active supporter of Palestine Solidarity Campaign in the UK for many years, facing accusations that he supported Hamas during the 2017 general election campaign.
Peled, who lives in the US and recently published a book The General’s Son, said the Palestinian cause had received growing support in the US. “There have been enormous strides on this issue in the last five to six years.... I’m in Palestine a lot and I see the Israeli state collapsing from within.”

That poll of labour members views is crazy. More thought Iran is a force for good than the US and Israel.
Iran. A dictatorship where children are executed, and blasphemy and being gay are punishable by death.

Oooh showing yourself up there. That was not the question they responded to. The question was whether the countries were a force for bad. More people said Israel than Iran.
It’s a very different question and either you’re aware of that and changed the wording on purpose or you are just repeating something you heard because it suits your views. Neither are positive.

Ths Israeli state are a disgrace. Even worse than Apartheid South Africa. They need boycotting and treated like the disgusting pariahs they are.
