“Frank Field, the long-serving politician revealed that Labour's issues with antisemitism along with the culture of 'intolerance, nastiness and intimidation' that he says now pervades much of its membership are the reasons for him reluctantly resigning the whip.

Stating that Labour is increasingly seen as a 'racist party' - the outspoken MP said it is with 'considerable sadness' that he has decided to sit as an Independent MP.

Red Tory and Zionist apologist quits Labour whip.

Great news.

How could anyone in all good conscience not criticise an apartheid regime?

The Israelis should face the organised boycott that the Afrikaner regime faced which brought it down.

I would have disagreed with you until Israeli Knesset voted in this absurd Nation state law which is similar to apartheid

Something we both agree on Dave

It's like the Nuremburg Laws. They relegate Arabs to "non-people" status.

Shameful from a people who suffered so much at the hands of the Nazis. Then again, nazism is a system that can be used by any people...and the Israeli State are doing just that.

They want to cower others into STFU about their crimes against humanity, just like the nazi hierarchy in Germany did. They want the word Zionist equated to Semite. It wont happen. They will never be interwoven. A Zionist is a vicious political credo hell bent on expunging all Arabs from what they consider now to be a single state. Zionism must be called out everywhere it's aplogists are...especially within the LP.
 
Frank Field has been a Labour MP since before many critics/detractors on here were even born.........some of the comments back up his decision to leave......

Pete -

i) he hasn't left Labour
ii) the vast majority of his letter was about some mad dispute between him and someone he wanted thrown out of Labour

In many ways its typical of the man that he takes an issue many are concerned about, meditates upon it for the whole summer and then comes out with something that sounds plausible but when you actually read it you wonder what on earth he is on about.

Reckon its more the fact that he was about to be deselected by his Constitiency Labour Party has far more to do with his decision than concern over anti-Semitism. Also being a Brexit Labour MP puts him at odds with the Party. And his constituents had been complaining he hasn't attended a meeting with them since February... If he were principled he would force a byelection, reeks of self service. Best left foot forward and sweep this one aside.
