Agree to Disagree

I've been listening to Labour MP Jess Philips on LBC today, standing in for usual host James O'Brien.

The abuse from one caller got me quite upset for her, not because Jess can't handle it, or that is in anyway bothered by it, but because it was totally and utterly hypocritical criticism from one of her own constituents.

The constituent, named Anne, started off rather nicely saying how she voted for her, but then went into overdrive because Jess doesn't 100% back Jeremy Corbyn, and asked her why she remained within the Labour Party.

Firstly, the pure and utter cheek of it! Firstly, Jeremy Corbyn voted AGAINST the Labour Party over 500 times, it doesn't matter who was leading, he voted against his own party, were there calls for him to leave Labour? No.

I haven't asked this question in a few years, but here I go again; why is it principals when Corbyn voted against the Labour party, but backstabbing when it's done to him.

Corbyn himself has had the bare faced cheek to criticise the 8 Labour MP's who have left to form The Independent Group, to say they were unloyal. Again Mr Corbyn, you voted against your own party over 500 times, where was your loyalty?

Secondly, Corbyn has said that Shamima Begun should not have had her British Citizenship revoked, and that we should bring her back and support her, yet his Shadow Chancellor had written a letter calling for people fighting for the Israeli Government, or on behalf of the Israeli state should have their citizenship's removed.

The hypocrisy, and two facedness of this current Labour leadership is embarrassing, and to be honest, unsurprising, but I honestly don't understand how anyone with an ounce of dignity, or common sense can stand up for them!

#LabourSplit

The Labour MP's, and possibly few Tory MP's, who will split from their parties to join a new, pro-EU party will not particularly damage the Tories, but definitely Labour.

This is, of course, if the split comes to anything at all, because it could be political suicide for the MP's who split.

However, there is every possibility that it won't be, and that means bad news for Labour.

Looks like Jeremy Corbyn should have been more decisive on Labour's Brexit strategy, instead of flip flopping the way he has.

So if this new party is a success, Corbyn has done exactly what I said he would, he's killed off the Labour Party, and possibly for good.

I've already seen quite a few tweets from people saying they're looking forward to a party being so pro-EU, such as from pro-EU actress Emma Kennedy

Anti-Semitism: When Will It End?

I am genuinely finding it terrifying that there are people out there, being blatantly anti-semitic, and yet are somehow getting away with it.

The Labour leadership's words mean nothing on the matter, because their lack of actions are speaking a heck of a lot louder!

It recently watched on Netflix a series called Hitler's Circle of Evil, and in that it explained how strongly the Nazi's hated the Jewish people, and how they slowly made anti-semitism the norm.

It feels like some parts of the Labour membership, as well as the Labour leadership, are trying to do the same thing.

However, unlike the Nazi's, Labour are thankfully not in a power.

For those denying that anti-semitism is a problem within Labour are either being deliberately blind, ignorant or are unknowingly (or knowingly) taking part the act itself.

What has Labour done to combat the problem? Nothing, despite John McDonnnell's words on Radio 4 the other day, in which he protested that Labour are doing something about it, what it was they were doing he never actually said (because it's nothing).

Luciana Berger, a Jewish Labour MP, is facing a no-confidence vote, therefore a deselection, from her constituency, McDonnell is trying to dress this up as "It's not because of anti-semitism, it's because she's been talking about a new party."

Labour, under the current lot, she never be allowed near the government, not only are they useless with numbers, they're openly racist.
