I see people keep asking why Labour won't adopt the full IHRA definition of Antisemitism. My guess is because they've got no idea what Corbyn and his fellow travellers have said in the past 35+ years.
He's had 30 years of people inviting him to speak or write, because he was an MP, and nobody taking any notice of what he said or wrote, because he was an obscure back-bencher.
But now they don't know who's got a video, or a recording, or a transcript, or a local newspaper article, or whatever, recording what he said.
And they don't know exactly what he said, but they can guess. So they're trimming all the examples they can, and couching everything in context, to minimise the chance that his words can appear next to the ones explicitly saying that they're Antisemitic, according to Labour.
Not much of a mystery, really. Just what you get for elevating somebody with so much baggage.
