"During the summer of 2018, this controversy [the issue of antisemitism & UK's Labour Party] reached fever pitch amid claims that the Labour party had become ‘institutionally racist’ under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, and that the prospect of a Corbyn-led government posed an ‘existential threat’ to Jewish life in Britain. It has given rise to vocalized threats of a split within the party, further destabilizing politics and signaling a potentially profound reshaping of the British political map. At a time when the country is entering the final stages of its negotiated withdrawal from the European Union, these findings warrant urgent attention from journalists, editors, policymakers and activists alike."

White paper on media bias in UK. There is a lot of press covering the goings on, with a lot of room unpremeditated abuse and the acceptance of so called facts. Interesting paper. Summary + full report.

Jst another distraction technique whilst the cons dismantle the nhs and murder the disabled

1

I am a life long Labour supporter and I support Corbyn. The problem was never antisemetism but Labour's pro Palestine stance. Unfortunately that became anti-semetic in the eyes of many of the Jewish left. I strongly believe (having been married to a Jewish man for over 20 years) that you can support Jewish identity and Palestinians right to live peaceably. Isreal is not everything Jewish in the world. Its all a big mess but the Palestinians have a right to life too. We on the left are supporters of equality and freedom for all.

This antisematism has been blown out all of proportion , and is a distraction from the actual policies of corbyns labour party.
I'll not vote labour whilst Corbyn returns the party to the 1970s style of politics , high levels of borrowing and spending and renationalising trains and energy is just ridiculous.
You can not run a household on debt inevitably , eventually you have to pay that money back , why does labour always talk about borrowing more and never seems to take the tough decisions to ever pay it back .The middle classes will not vote labour in to power cos they understand basic finance balance.
Labour has gone too far left to have mass appeal and will not get in to power until they return to the centre ground .replace Corbyn with a realist not a communist .
