Yep. So many people turning a blind eye to the amount of pockets being stuffed by Israel in west minister.

Yep. So many people turning a blind eye to the amount of pockets being stuffed by Israel in west minister.
Didn't the Unions bring the Labour Party to its knees in the 70s though?
Hodge is in the contingent of people to ignore on this issue really. No reasonable person would ignore that some have weaponised the issue to attack Corbyn and she's one of those who did and continues to do so.
I still think that's happening but it doesn't mean there isn't underlying issues as well with the membership, just not to scale discussed.
Very much so. They wanted to keep public sector wages down to try and row in runaway inflation that at one point had reached 25% (!) but while the Unions played ball for a while, in the end they got tired of taking real term pay cuts year on year and we had the biggest run of strikes in 50 years. Given that Callaghan had been so close to the Unions his authority was fatally undermined.
Of course, his replacement was Thatcher, who was probably the worst thing to ever happen to the Unions in the UK, so maybe they'd be a bit more circumspect this time round. But i wouldnt bet on it.
The best thing that Thatcher did was break the stranglehold of the unions. I dare say that's not a particularly popular opinion round here though
No money to investigate Windrush, no money for the hostile environment, but for this oh yes.
Exactly. But i guess there is a lot more at stake protecting Israel lobbyists.
Listen to yourselves. It's frankly pathetic.
Just seen the hate on twitter for the ehrc from labour supporters, very sad. In its role in pushing equality duty its been genuinely life changing for many minority groups. But now labour supporters want to tarnish its name for taking up what seems to be an issue well within its remit, seemingly because labour should be seen as above suspicion and hence the rules shouldn’t apply to them. Sad times.
Not when it couldn't see the racism in the Windrush scandal, or the hostile environment, or the Tories immigration system.
What's pathetic is the whole Antisemitic onslaught on Corbyn.
There's some balance to be had. I'll absolutely agree that there's a tendency for even the slightest criticism of Israel to often be dismissed as anti-semitism. Similarly I think there's a solid argument that Labour's in-house issues (like this) get a ton more treatment than similar ones within the Tory party, who've shown in the last couple of years they have their own deep-rooted problems in need of addressing.
But there's no doubt that some of the rhetoric that's come from Labour and people involved has been problematic, and there's something fairly sinister when you're seeing lots of Labour members dismissing what seems to be a majority view of the Jewish community that there's a significant problem that needs to be tackled.
The far left and the far right are just two sides of the same coin. Stuff like this just shows it.
There's three amendments from a Sir Peter Bottomley, amazing
''Corbyn in 2017 was a one off, everyone is over it now ''
Not sure who it is but there is an obvious Tory constantly changing the title to this thread and it's getting ridiculous. 
Corbyn supporters in Brighton, who'd have thunk it!
I'm sure we'll hear Fiona Bruce attacking a Conservative for how far behind they are in the polls.
Labour really love bank holidays.

The only way they think they can get in is by bribing the general public.
Why doesn't he make St George's Day a BH too? And what about the Welsh and Scottish ones?
It would make more sense to have a bank holiday for a Patron Saint from this country, or am I missing something here?

Nope
Was the plan in the last election to make all the patron saints days into bank holidays. There’s a lot of evidence that it would improve our economy to have more bank holidays because people spend more on bank holidays and a few extra days off a year wouldn’t effect productivity.

Fair enough. I like that idea.
Yeah, St Edmund, the true Patron Saint of England. Feck George who had feck all to do with England except being liked by a French king. All hail St Edmund's day.
Yeah but he killed a dragon bruh. He’ll the Night King, only good. Wait a minute, what if the NK is good?!?
I’ve been drinking
That's him!
If that's true it's pathetic
Absolutely pathetic at this hour. Why did Corbyn not sort out the Tory division and negotiate a deal with the EU much sooner?
Oh dear .As he upset the moderates again.
While I enjoy a laugh at Corbyn's expense as much as anyone, let's be honest it would have made feck all difference if he was there. In the sense that May wasn't there to negotiate anything in the first place.
How's that relevant? If she were there to negotiate, he's done one instead of representing his party.
I think the Corbynistas have completely missed the point. Of course the meeting was a farce.
That's not the point.
That's not the point.
