Yep, confratulations to the progressive slate. Now get down to deselecting the Quislings and cleansing the LP of the neo-liberal buccaneers who infiltrated the party in the 90s.

Corbyn is an odious, self-righteous, racist prick. He has regressive, irrelevant ideas and zero charm. It shows what a dreadful condition Labour is when a an odd ball like him and his cronies have such a grip on the party leadership.

How is he racist? He seems to be anti-racist to myself.

Thats all well and good, but to have a chance at getting power, quite a few of those haters need convincing to vote for him.

Laughing at them maybe isnt the most bright way of going about it.

I think the effort required to win the likes of pete, Joey and that #FBPE mob on twitter over would be better spent on more socially useful things, like working out a way to count large numbers of bees.

I hope the NEC rejects the IHRA code.

Stand firm against the Zionists. We all know if that's passed it'll mean non-criticsm of the Israeli apartheid regime...and they'll just keep demanding other things.

Face the apartheid supporting LP right wing and their Zionist gangster mates down. Never cower in the face of a bully.

I disagree - for all the issue has been used by the usual people to push their usual demand, it is a real issue and they should never have tried to argue their way out of it at the start of the summer. If the party deals with all the real issues properly then the anti-Corbyn faction will have nowhere to go except absurdities (like that Czech spy thing) which damages them.

I hope with every fiber in my being that we stand for the right thing, and double down on the current implementation.


The Labour Party needs to be honest. If we do not stand up for the people of Palestine, how can we be expected to stand up for our own nations oppressed people?

Time for mandatory reselection once that happens the Blairites will realise the game is up.

Real issue my arse.

Criticism of Zionist apartheid - the terror and violence it uses at home and abroad - is nothing to do with what the LP right-wingers and the Zionist apologists in this country claim it to be.

Fight them all the way. Reject the IHRA code and double down on the critique of the Israeli terror state.

Exactly mate.

Pass this IHRA code and they'll come back and demand something else.

The electorate couldn't give a flying one about Zionist preocupations and spin. Bollocks to therm.

Crack on and get the neo-liberals out of the party and focus on that. Let the media stamp their feet.

That’s the strange bit. I too would say that he is anti-racist, except when it comes to Jews unfortunately. I think that is because he has spent so many years campaigning for the Palestinians, that he has gotten a little to close and involved....

I've spent my entire adult life campaigning with the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, does that make me antisemitic?

And what exactly gives them this grip? Couldn't possibly be overwhelming support from members could it?
Yours is a most pompous, self entitled statement on an absolute par with 'it's our year'...

I don’t know, are you. But your entire adult life does not stretch over decades as it does Corbyn......

I went to my first PSG meeting when I was 13 years old, I'm 25 now - so that's a decade.

Am I antisemtiic?

Who are these ‘oppressed’ people of our own nation.......
