Does anyone have any good reason why I should stay a member of the Labour party? Because I can’t think of one anymore.
My MP disappoints me again.
Did I mention that my MP disappoints me?
Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi is one of the co-founders of Jewish Voice for Labour. She is also a supporter of Corbyn 
And Rosie Duffield is still a Labour MP and a TER.
wimborne-idrissi committed the mortal sin of supporting palestinian rights which made this jewish lady an anti-semite by the standards of the anti-corbynite leadership.
I’m still waiting to find out if the “anti semites” in the labour are anti zionists, or actual people publishing new copies of the protocols of elder zion… because if it’s the first, they can go choke on Blair’s ballsack.
The Lexit people are even more detached from reality than the Ukip people. They claimed that the EU was stopping socialism in the UK, but voted to hand control to the Tories who are even less likely to support socialism.
It’s both. I have seen stuff from the crank left that would not look out of place in a conspiracy theory featuring George Soros, except it’s about capitalism instead of socialism. If they didn’t exist then I doubt that it would have got as far as it has.
True, I guess Corbyn’s brother isn’t likely to be right wing…
Piers Corbyn is supposedly left wing, but was refused Labour party membership while Jeremy was leader after having been thrown out of the party for running as an anti Iraq war candidate in a local election. Piers is definitely crank left, while Jeremy is Old Lexit Labour.
Sometimes saying no to left unity is a good idea. Some “allies” are a danger to us.
Piers Corbyn was a Labour Party councillor for a number of years. Previously he was a member of the Trotskyist International Marxist Group, who were influential in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s and later dissolved itself in Labour Party entryism. He was well known for his involvement in the campaigns around the Elgin Avenue squats.
From what I know he has always had something of a reputation, I remember people talking about him in the squatting movement of the late 80’s (the time he was a councillor), and not in a good way. Apparently he has always had a thing about weather forecasting but he was firmly entrenched in crankdom by the mid 90’s at the latest via dodgy long range weather forecasting and climate change denial. Interesting his Wikipedia entry notes notes that one Boris Johnson used his newspaper column to argue he was right on these issues.
Not really a surprise but now there isn’t a single major party in England anymore that is willing to represent those that are Not OK With This.
I don’t like Starmer much, but it makes sense, Brexit is like nuclear waste, just spending time with it hurts you.
It’s going to take time to get enough support for changing the deal (something that is doable by both sides) to make something to swing an election, in the meantime, the NHS and the economy for normal people really needs urgent attention.
