I definitely have not got what I want. I want a strong, decent Labour Party that can compete at general elections. What I’ve got is a shambles of a party that will take ages to become a serious option on Election Day.

I’m just glad the Corbyn nightmare is finally coming to an end.
You do remember labour had 2 parties to fight & the stories only had 1 .

Fadje & his brexit party made sure of that .
Hardly a free & air election to go on regardless of who led them
Deluded
Yes Thory you are .

Oh thory , that wet lettuce destroys the clown in number 10 every week
During pmq's .

As Corbyn wasnt personally named in the findings
He could & should of left any statement untill monday ..
after discussions with the party leadership now

Hence why he was suspended for denying parts of the report .

Therfore the Labour Party are putting there house in order .

No messing about with live interviews in Rose Garden by Civil Servants etc
They could have and should have put their house in order in any of the days of the last five years. Not acceptable Tuffers I’m afraid.

Sorry I do beleive the words used were “interference from the leadership”, if that’s not corbyn who is it then? That was one of the key points raised actually.

By voting for a party that has such a shameful record on disability rights and has presided over the mess the DWP has made of the lives of disabled people, including the country being damned by (ironically) a EHRC report. If you vote for them, you are complicit.

That's how it works, right? Labour voters are all racists, Tory voters all hate disabled people/children/homeless/whatever?

He did internally, the factions over how Labour handled the crisis are well known and they don't fall on left vs right lines. McDonnell wanted Corbyn to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism because he thought the furore around it was killing Labour's ability to sell its programme.

It's worth reiterating that the leader of the Tory party is on record over and over again making racist, homophobic and sexist comments. It's a depressing indictment of standards that ECHR aren't looking into Islamophobia in the Tory party, which is well established by this point. Seems incredibly fake to get wound up by Labour's issues and to turn a blind eye to the Tory party's (and vice versa).
Actually I have commented on that very subject previously and condemned it. It is not acceptable to behave in such a manner and it doesn’t matter what person or party said it. We can only standby and watch whilst others hold the MP’s etc to account, again as I’ve said on here before all they care about is themselves and stuff the normal man, women or child. It’s a disgrace what goes on in the Palace of Westminster.

Oh OK that’s how it works does it? My dad was disabled and proper disabled as well and he voted Tory so did he hate disabled people? Poor point to be making I’m afraid.

Check back through my posts and you’ll see that I said I wasn’t voting or would vote green.

It was said just last week that child poverty started under Blair and has got worse since. Would you then suggest that voting labour means you hate children?

So let’s examine Chakrabarty and her inquiry into anti semetisim in the Labour Party. Now she concluded that there was no case to answer on any point.

Shouldn’t she now step down due to the whitewash of the issue inside of the Labour Party?

No he was made aware of it, but has zero influence in what decisions that person makes. Fact.

Bit like his bike crash, he hurt the person, pissed off and then lied that he’d spoken to the police.

From the BBC:

Mr Corbyn reacted to his suspension on Twitter, writing: "I will strongly contest the political intervention to suspend me. I've made absolutely clear those who deny there has been an anti-Semitism problem in the Labour Party are wrong.”

It should read, “I will strongly contest the rightful intervention to suspend me. I’ve made absolutely clear that those who say there has been an anti-semitism problem in the Labour Party are wrong.”

The usual suspects have gone very quiet. Perhaps they are working up an anti-Zionist theory to explain all of this.

He did no such thing, stop dreaming. He is not responsible for suspending corbyn that is the responsibility of the general secretary and the party. At least get your facts rights.
I think you've missed my point, thory boy.

He has responded to the publication of this report very promptly and in very strong terms.

No, that's NOT how it works at all. That is exactly the point. You, he, anyone that votes for them may just genuinely be conservative in their values and feel they are best. I wholly disagree but it doesn't mean I can say you agree with every part or stand for everything they do. Much as you're wrong to think everyone that voted Labour is an antisemite or complicit. (Although I'd agree if you think many held their noses to get the Tories out and I'd make you right).
