You've fallen into that little trap again, Goldie. He is pro-Palestinian, and anti-Israel, but that doesn't make him anti-Semitic, does it?

If he's not anti-semitic Strolls, how could you leave one of your own Jewish MP's that was suffering appalling abuse from without and within the Party, and not speak to them for 14 months?
 
May knows that if she doesn't deliver a satisfactory Brexit, then either they will split off and take maybe 40 or 50 to a new party, Farage or the like, or, I suppose, they may vote their own leader in to replace May as Tory Leader. Prime Minister Mogg anyone?
I cant see Mogg getting enough votes to be honest. It's a tricky situation in both mainstream parties at the moment. I see mps who want a no deal, some who want to remain and some who want a deal.

I've not spoken to my cousin who is a vegan for over a year. I'm not a vegenist (if their is such thing) although I do promote a meat diet!
 
If Labour try for a GE on a vote of no confidence, Umunna and Co are likely to support May, because they can't afford a GE - they are not nearly ready and would probably lose all their seats
All those splinter lot will lose their seats. Soubry has a very slim majority and she will be gone quicker than Corbyn's 6 tests. Chukka has a very big majority so may get one term.

If May gets a Brino as you call it, it's because she has enough backing to pass it and Mogg and the crew didn't have enough to stop it, therefore I couldn't then see him having enough backing to get the job.

It would mean she persuaded Labour to vote for it and avoid WTO. It would be regarded as a sell out by the ERG and would either split the Tory party asunder or deliver a Mogg-type as PM
 
Derek Hatton has been suspended from the Labour party just 72 hours after joining. <laugh>

After a tweet from 2012 which said

“Jewish people with any sense of humanity need to start speaking out publicly against the ruthless murdering being carried out by Israel!”

He has got a point and there are some that do....btw, before anyone asks, I am definitely NOT an antisemite.

To be honest Staines I don't get too involved with the problems in Israel/West bank. All I would say is that in this country we should not be having a go at someone because they are Jewish. It's the 21st Century not medieval times.

He wasn’t, and it would be wrong to say he did.....unless of course it fits an agenda.
