BREAK: Ian Austin confrims he's quit the Labour Party
“The hard truth is that the party is tougher on the people complaining about anti-Semitism than it is on the anti-Semites.” he tells the Express and Star
“I think Jeremy Corbyn has completely changed what was a mainstream party into a completely different party with very different values. The hard left is now in charge of the party"
Mr. Austin says he has NOT spoken @theindgroup:
“I think the Labour Party is broken and clearly things have to change but that’s not what today is about, and I’ve not talked to them about that"

NEW: Labour's handling of racism complaints is once again under fire after it emerged a member's claims that "the Jewish community plans to attack our party" and that an "undemocratic elite" was attempting to undermine Corbyn, were not deemed by an official to be antisemitic.
The comments were made by Sir Duncan Michael, one of the UK's most eminent structural engineers, during a Wimbledon CLP meeting last August in which the IHRA definition of antisemitism was discussed. Sky News has obtained a leaked audio recording of the meeting.
During the meeting Sir Duncan was confronted by Glyn Secker from Jewish Voice for Labour, who said he wanted to put him right. Sir Duncan responded by saying "you won't put me right"

1/52 This thread is about #LabourAntisemitism. It is going to be long. Very long. Sorry.
2/52 Most people have heard that Labour “have an antisemitism problem”. And most have also heard that they don’t, really, and/or it is being “weaponised” against Corbyn. In this thread I will outline the issue to the best of my knowledge.

Ian Austin becomes ninth MP to quit @UKLabour theguardian.com/politics/live/…
Ian Austin: "I always tell them the truth and I could never ask local people to make @JeremyCorbyn Prime Minister.

I am appalled at the offence and distress Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party have caused to Jewish people.”
"It is terrible that a culture of extremism, anti-Semitism and intolerance is driving out good MPs and decent people who have committed their life to mainstream politics.”

1. I don't really pay much attention to #Labour Twitter. It;s not really saying anything worth my time. The right of the party are all Blairite remainers who I've always hated since they embody the worst of left wing paternalism and snobbery. Thread...
2. The left of the party however, is a shitshow of hipster communists and gobby younglings who know fuck all about nine tenths of anything, pushing a socialist agenda they don't understand much less comprehend the implications of it.
3. Then as I understand it, their fondness for Brexit is based on some half understood notions about competition rules and state aid - but in actuality they couldn't give a toss about Brexit. They're just at war with the FBPE morons since they attack Corbyn. Purely tribal.

THREAD: I think we need to talk about the lefts stance on Party rebirth, & the holier than thou attitude that #Labour has on #libdems & tuition Fees. Given the rise of the far right & how much we actually agree on we really should be working together, so lets try to clear this up
For many of us @LibDems, we left @UKLabour when they voted & took us into Iraq.
Now the Labour left make the argument that Labour is not the same party that it was with Blair, & because Corbyn voted against Iraq; all must be forgiven. The party should be allowed to start afresh.
Fair enough. But if this was the case, why was Tim Farron nailed to the tuition fees cross by Labour campaigners at the last election? He voted AGAINST Fees in the same way Corbyn voted against Iraq.

Mr Corbyn in The Times
@TimesCorbyn
After my tweet below & the Times article today, I wondered if it was just a one-off, this support by a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan for Mr Corbyn?
It wasn't.

I Voted Remain 🇪🇺 #FBPE #ABTV #WATON
@IVotedRemainEU
(Thread) To all @UKLabour candidates in the upcoming May local elections:

Unfortunately I will not be able to vote for you as a representative of the Labour Party; this is despite having been a #Labour voter myself in the past. Please allow me to explain briefly my reasons why.
After the sacking of Owen Smith, I cannot vote for @UKLabour in any shape or form at the moment due to Jeremy Corybn's approach towards #Brexit which I view as highly undemocratic and contradictory to what the Labour party is meant to stand for ("for the many, not the few"?).
The attitude towards #Brexit by @jeremycorbyn and other hardcore Brexiteers like him really is now bordering on the fascist, something I find deeply disturbing. It seems that dissenters are being crushed.
