Comrade Corbyn to the fore - whither (or wither) the Labour Party?

[PhotEx]

Like that is going to happen! She should be stripped of it though, in public on TV!

Charabattybotty stripped in public?

the horror! The horror!

 

[exbluejob]

I have a crisp fifty pence piece says that jezza, milne, murphy et al will be expressing their shock and dismay at this shortly. it's all a surprise to them and these were actions taken by junior staff without their knowledge or approval.

despite, you know, all of those emails and phone calls they made, telling people to interfere. but anyway.

Such cynicism in one so young. I shake my head in despair.

I wonder if the former Shadow Home Sec has been approached for a comment?

*snigger*

There should be some amusing comments later from Momentimites

Looks like it will be an " Open Day " for comments on the Guardian ...

Jeremy Corbyn to fight suspension from Labour after EHRC antisemitism report comments – as it happened

Former party leader has whip removed over comments following publication of Equality and Human Rights Commission inquiry

This, for me, is the cutting line of the report:

• Labour “at best did not do enough to prevent anti-Semitism and, at worst, could be seen to accept it“.

Corbyn statement. Absolute neck of the man, he is either dense or has skin so thick.

My statement following the publication of the EHRC report:
“Antisemitism is absolutely abhorrent, wrong and responsible for some of humanity’s greatest crimes. As Leader of the Labour Party I was always determined to eliminate all forms of racism and root out the cancer of antisemitism. I have campaigned in support of Jewish people and communities my entire life and I will continue to do so.
“The EHRC’s report shows that when I became Labour leader in 2015, the Party’s processes for handling complaints were not fit for purpose. Reform was then stalled by an obstructive party bureaucracy. But from 2018, Jennie Formby and a new NEC that supported my leadership made substantial improvements, making it much easier and swifter to remove antisemites. My team acted to speed up, not hinder the process.
“Anyone claiming there is no antisemitism in the Labour Party is wrong. Of course there is, as there is throughout society, and sometimes it is voiced by people who think of themselves as on the left.
“Jewish members of our party and the wider community were right to expect us to deal with it, and I regret that it took longer to deliver that change than it should.
“One antisemite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. That combination hurt Jewish people and must never be repeated.
“My sincere hope is that relations with Jewish communities can be rebuilt and those fears overcome. While I do not accept all of its findings, I trust its recommendations will be swiftly implemented to help move on from this period.”

Which shows the lack of leadership that the report mentions - wasn't me it was the minions lower down the Party hierarchy who were bad. And it is not Labour's fault but the society as a whole.

What a complete tosser.

Yeah that's great Jeremy, but you honestly expect anyone to accept that waffle when you openly condone stuff like this . . .

Ed Balls on JC prior to the publication of the EHRC report tomorrow -

'I don’t think Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite. He’s not a racist man, but he undoubtedly not only stood with antisemitic people, but said things which were antisemitic.'

so by that logic, I could hang around with members of the BNP, say racist things, but not actually be a racist? ok then.
