Well, we`re certainly living in interesting times.
Way in the future, I reckon students will study the current fracturing of our political parties, the way that students today study how the political parties fractured over the repeal of the corn laws, or the reform act.

We have a situation where those to the right of the Labour Party are really unhappy, and those to the left of the Tories are unhappy. There is an obvious cross-over when Brexit is taken into account, and I can see those like-minded people forming their Anti-Democratic Party. Then there are those like Ian Austin, who is actually pro-Brexit and he doesn't want anything to do with the Anti-Democrats, so he won't be joining the IG.
There is a power vacuum forming. The question is, who or what is going to fill it?

The most incredible thing to me, is that the leader of one of our main political parties, once described Hamas as "our friends ".
An organization that has, as one of it`s explicit aims, the death of Jews everywhere. How can you possibly come back from that?
Is it any wonder that so many people find Corbyn`s utterances on anti semitism, somewhat hollow?
It`s like someone describing the Ku Klux Klan as his friends, but then denying that he harbours any ill will to black people or Asians.

Like I said, if they`re serious about ridding the party of the oldest prejudice in history, start with the dude at the top. No good asking him to do anything about it. You might as well ask my wife to spearhead a campaign to rid the world of chocolate.

They can't get rid of him (not easily anyway) as the greater membership voted for him and they voted for him to be leader |

They can't get rid of him (not easily anyway) as the greater membership voted for him and they voted for him to be leader Poor ole Jezza. Last week he was calling for those MP's who left, to stand in an re-election as they originally stood on the Party Manifesto, meaning that now they should put themselves up for re-election. Traitors to the cause and all that. This week, he has abandoned the Manifesto in calling for a second referendum, so in his own words, he has chosen to "abandon the policies on which they were elected"! Confused? "Jeremy Corbyn says the eight MPs who quit his party chose to "abandon the policies on which they were elected" so should resign. His comments contradict remarks he made in a tweet in April 2010 when he said people vote for their MPs in elections "rather than a party/leader"" Sky News |

If they do have a problem with the fact that he described Hamas as "friends", it`s not important enough to them to want something done about it. And so, the problem rumbles on....
