Then Corbyn should face it head on and remove their arguments, but he doesn’t, he leaves the likes of Livingstone in the party and does himself and Labour no favours.....

And all the while, the conservatives are power sharing with the DUP
You can start as many threads as you like smearing Corbyn but it will never hold a candle to May forming a government with bigoted xenophobic homophobes.

You find it funny people have died and have had there lives ruined , nasty piece of work really aren't you Pete.
Anti-semitism has always has been in the Tory party.
Dossier on racism in the Conservative Party - Unite the union
Yesterday's debate in the 'will of the people' parliament was wrongly billed. It was not an anti-semitic debate but anti-semitism in the Labour party.
"This dossier was put together from news reports in the local and national media and is far from comprehensive. But it shows is that the Conservative Party is regularly beset by allegations of racism against its MPs, councillors and candidates. It’s also clear that only rarely do such instances – even when particularly offensive – result in the person being expelled from the Party. The cases include Tory elected representatives using racist abuse like “Pakis”, “pikies”, and “piccaninnies” – as well as several anti-semitic or Islamophobic remarks. But most appear to have been allowed to continue their membership and even to represent the Conservative Party. Back in 2001 Andrew Lansley MP complained of “endemic racism” in the Conservative Party. In January 2015 a former aide to both Margaret Thatcher and John Major described the Conservative Party as “essentially racist”. Just last month lifetime Tory voter and Daily Mail columnist Peter Oborne described Zac Goldsmith’s Islamophobic London mayoral campaign as the “most repulsive I have ever seen”. The Tory Party remains the nasty party - and soft on racists within it".
Why didn't anyone during the 'debate' mention these anti-semites,
"November 2009, Tory MP for Spelthorne, David Wilshire, said the expose of MPs expenses left them treated like Jews in Nazi Germany, stating “Branding a whole group of people as undesirables led to Hitler’s gas chambers”
David Cameron asked him to apologise".
In December 2011, Tory MP for Cannock Chase, Aidan Burley, helped organise a Nazi-themed stag party.
In June 2012, David Cameron ordered he be sacked from his role as PPS to then Transport Secretary Justine Greening – and ordered a fuller investigation.
Later in 2012, Mr Burley described the London Olympics’ opening ceremony as "leftie multicultural crap" 17 In 2014 an internal Tory Party inquiry cleared him of any racism or anti-semitism.
"In August 2014 UCL Conservative Society was under scrutiny for a series of anti-semitic, Islamophobic and racist remarks, fostering a culture of discrimination and bullying, and creating a “toxic” environment. One comment included, “Jews own everything, we all know it’s true. I wish I was Jewish, but my nose isn’t long enough”.
In October 2014 after an investigation by UCL Union, the Conservative Society was ordered to apologise. There is no evidence that the Conservative Party investigated the incidents.
In January 2015, a Conservative councillor for Bishop’s Stortford was accused of anti-semitism for a tweet and condemned by Tory MP Robert Halfon as “abhorrent” and “unacceptable”. Councillor Colin Woodward apologised and no action was taken by the Conservative Party.
In April 2015, a Tory candidate for Derby Council, Gulzabeen Afsar, said she would never support “the Jew” in reference to Ed Miliband. Cllr Afsar apologised, and was later suspended by the Conservative Party.
In May 2015, a Tory councillor, Thomas Crockett for Maida Vale in Westminster, compared some young locals with the Hitler Youth. He apologised and no disciplinary action was taken.
In February 2016, Glasgow Tory councillor David Meikle accused the SNP of anti-semitism for opposing the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. He later apologised and withdrew his comments.
n April 2016, the deputy chairman of Bradford Conservative Association, Abdul Zaman, made inappropriate comments about Jews and women while speaking at a launch event for the local election campaign. He was suspended.
It wasn't surprising that the Tory darling Rees-Mogg didn't contribute. Where was he? Maybe he was talking and sharing another platform with his buddy Gregory Lauder Frost, a well known anti-semite.

No holding back: The ‘wit and wisdom’ of Gregory Lauder-Frost
This woman [Doreen Lawrence] has done the British nation no favours whatsoever. If these people don’t like us and want to keep attacking us they should go back to their natural homelands.
The Poles asked for it from 1919 onwards. It was Britain and France who made it a world war, not Hitler.
Basically if you did not want to be bombed you should not have declared war on a country [Germany] who had no quarrel with you.
The barbarians who bombed [Potsdam] right at the very end of the war, serving no purpose whatsoever, should have been tried as war criminals.
The Nuremberg trials were a farce. They were show trials without an ounce of legitimacy.
The Africans never had it so good as when Britain governed their colonies there… We owe Africa nothing whatsoever. It owes us eternal gratitude for lifting it out of barbarism. Independent 9th August 2013.
Yesterday Rees Mogg put on a show about how much he knew about parliament. He obviously did his research. Pity he didn't do the same thorough research on the Traditional Britain Group. Rees Mogg didn't have to actually, as Searchlight told him of Lauder Frost's views, he declined to listen.

Listening to the harrowing accounts of the two MPs Lucina Berger and Ruth Smeeth, I don't understand why it's just Labour and Corbyn that has to sort it out. There are very specific threats of harm within the Anti-Semitic abuse they are recieving, surely the police should also be pursuing and investigating these people that are making these horrible threats?
Isn't that the point. If someone has said to Mann that they want to do what he said, that needs to be dealt with by the police, and the people prosecuted. That way justice has been done and we get a better understanding of who they are, what there political beliefs are and if they do have any connection with the Labour party and why.
Same with what Smeeth and others were saying. They are hate crimes and they needed reporting to the police, investigated and the perpetrated prosecuted. Again, that way we get a better understanding of such individuals, their motives, why they are in the Labour party and why. It is not enough just to say this and that happened and it was people in the Labour party. If these incidents have been reported, say last year and the police haven't done anything about it then they are dragging their feet.

Indeed. Anti semitism is an absolute disgrace in this day and age. It is not just Labour but it is more obviously visible within Labour and not helped by its weak leadership....

Surely it's more than just Labour and Corbyn, there are specific threats of violence, surely the police and our criminal systems should pursuing these vile people. Surely they are identifiable as said many times they are Labour members?

You old think so. As you say threatening acts of violence and rape you might expect some response from the police, but I think I read that a number of people had already been prosecuted for similar offences.....
