1/ thread on why the @jeremycorbyn situation has backfired massively on #Starmer and #Labour generally. #Corbyn
2/ Firstly, to understand how this has happened requires an understanding of #Corbyn himself, who has been woefully mischaracterised in soft left accounts of his period as leader, perhaps most notably (for the left) @OwenJones84's "This Land"...
3/ #Corbyn is not "indecisive". Thankfully he's not a weathervane either. When making a decision he considers a range of views before determining the correct course of action. When comes to a view he sticks to it firmly and usually he is right.
1 year ago @jeremycorbyn was unjustly suspended by the LP for a measured, honest response to the EHRC Report. Starmer and the msm put the perverse spin on it that Corbyn had said that "antisemitism was exaggerated". He said nothing of the sort. 1/7
He said: "Anyone claiming there is no antisemitism in the LP is wrong... and sometimes it is voiced by people who think of themselves as on the left." But he rightly exonerated the vast bulk of LP members from the disgusting stain of being unjustly accused of antisemitism. 2/7
Corbyn said that "the scale of the problem" was "dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media." Many Jewish LP members and constituents agree, and wrote to newspapers+on social media to say so. 3/7
