ECHR hands Labour Party a hugely critical report...
1. Polictical interference in complaints procedures.
2. Lack of training.
3. Harassment.
Lets hope those responsible stop their 'It wasn't me, we tried to root it out b*llsh*t excuses' and either learn or leave the party.

As have the Barclay brothers, Richard Desmond and Rothermere who together with Murdoch are said to control 80% of the UK media.

I have said this before, but Murdoch buying the Sun was a master stroke. It allowed him to shape the thinking of so many working class people, many on benefits and/or minimum wage, in insecure jobs into believing that the Tory party was/is good for them.
Not trying to demean the readers of the Sun, but if you consistently read “Tory good, Labour bad”, it will eventually become part of the automatic thought process, whereas those who disagree with that mantra would probably stop reading it.
 
Thought it would happen, even though I firmly believe JC isn't anti-semitic himself.

Very sad, very predictable. Corbyn puts Starmer in a position where he has no option. I sincerely hope it's the last time. Political suicide from an ex leader who at best couldn't manage his own office, never mind party.
A distraction we cannot afford when we have the most right wing government in my life time.
 
I have been his biggest critic, largely over his lukewarm ( support?) for Brexit. I do think that it was exaggerated but he didn't help himself by his statement.

or replace the words Tory and Labour with Brexit and Remain.... same outcome.

Fats does have a point though. The ex leader of the Labour party has just been thrown out over an Anti Semitic undercurrent within the party and his reaction to it. Only a year ago he could have become PM.

I guarantee there would have been pages and pages of quotes, memes etc if this was the leader of the Conservative party.

Okay, I’ll bite. I look forward to seeing the leader of the Conservative Party’s response, when the investigation they promised on Tory Islamophobia publishes it’s report.
