How long has she been in Parliament?

 

I’ve seen enough of her to generate serious doubts about her intellect, her presentation skills and her capacity to lead the change that Labour needs.

 

Stop blaming the media for everything. Start questioning the current, failing direction of the party.

I'm still chucking at RLB's comments from during the Gen. Election, when she was stating that she got into politics when she saw the hurt & anguish on the face of her trade union father & the workers of Salford Docks, when he had to tell them they were facing redundancy. 

 

Then someone did a quick check & found Salford Docks closed when RLB was around 2 years old.  Maybe she was a very perceptive baby?

That's it then I'm not voting for her. 

 

Out of interest  if there's anything else you can dig up from the " Sister paper to the Daily Mail" don't be shy at letting us know

So you don't have a better explanation than the article then. If you had you'd be prepared to put it forward.

To be totally fair, I have memories from being around that age.  My family are often astounded at what I can remember.  It's not that common, but I've read it can happen, particularly if it's a memory tied to a lot of emotion.

 

Don't take that as an endorsement though.  I think the selection is pretty poor, but I am pleased that Jess Philips ruled herself out.  I see her as another self-aggrandizing Swinson type.

Hello comrade. Vote Labour.

 

As a member, do you think there's evidence of  anti semitism comrade ?

I do. 
 

I don’t think that the party is institutionally anti-Semitic, but I do think that it has a worrying number of anti-semites as members. I also think that the leadership is reluctant to deal with many of the  perpetrators.  
 

La lucha  continua.

But the numbers dont back it up..0.8% of the membership that have been ACCUSED, not found guilty

The numbers don’t back what up?

 

Almost 1000 accusations of anti semitism in a year.

 

You might be ok with that. I’m not.

Banjo often posts that "0.8%" because it looks like a small number.

1000 been accused, but how many were found guilty? Accusations are all very well, but accusations count for nothing, lets not forget Williamson was accused of being antisemitic and said nothing antisemitic, he just failed to go along with the antisemitic bandwagon, cost him his job in the end tho....now if the new nonsense gets implemented from the board of deputies, you can not stand up to defend anyone accused of antisemitism, because you will be found guilty by association, thats how corrupt it has become, its become a tool to keep the left in check, nothing more nothing less

Are you ok that the party has generated 1000 complaints of antisemitism in a single year?

 

Are you ok that Labour is only the second party to be investigated by the EHRC? 
 

Do you know who the other party was?

 

Are you happy to be in that company?
