Campbell suspended yet this 2016

Anger as controversial Jeremy Corbyn aide Andrew Fisher wins top Labour policy role.

He publicly supported Class War candidate over Labour Party candidate Emily Benn yet kept his job.

No suspension for Jezza mates. politicshome.com/news/uk/politi…
This is who Fisher supported.

“I’m not expecting a massive vote for Class War candidates but this gives us a chance to talk about freedom & equality. That’s anarchism for me. By bringing down the powerful and the rich, we can have some of that, share it out and thrive together”
Yet no suspension for Fisher. Nope. He remained in his powerful IN PARTY HQ place as Head of Policy. Far worse than @campbellclaret saying he would vote for a Remain party.

Worth noting that at the same time of this is happening

“Sir Keir Starmer was "absolutely furious" at a speech given by Shadow Chancellor J McDonnell earlier this week (2016) when he hailed the "enormous opportunity" presented by leaving the EU.”

Yeah. Right. Another numbtie

Why isn’t this getting equal coverage to the AS in Labour.

For those that have not been following the complaints I attach some example below.
One set of examples.

Of the Tory leadership contenders Rory Stewart comes over as having by far the greatest intellectual heft and gravitas.

Statesmanlike qualities. I do not agree with him about rejecting a referendum (or getting on with Brexit), but his communication skills made me check Wiki
Here is his Wiki Page that makes very interesting reading.

His comms skills are far greater than I have seen from other candidates. Heavier weight intellectually. More likeable and trustworthy. Warmer. More human.

I would be watching this space.

3/. Worth remembering that, according to Lord Ashcroft’s Exit poll, of those who voted Tory 28% wanted to remain and only 17% would settle for No Deal. The rest wanted May’s Deal or some other deal.

I think he can speak to them.

@redhistorian I seem to fall between the two camps.

“This is political and the remedies are political” in one camp and

“Prosecute them” in the other.
@redhistorian 2/. I do agree that the political consequences and standards in public life remedies should be sufficiently robust to despatch and punish lying offenders..and without resort to the ballot box or the courts.

They are not.
@redhistorian 3/. The breaches of constitutional conventions have been flagrant, repeated and been rebuffed when drawn to not just the Speaker’s attention but also the Standards Committee

This is a shameful and very dangerous episode in our public life

Those failures have led to where we are

1). I'm about to have a long rant.....

Batten down the hatches.

amp.theguardian.com/society/2019/f…
2). Will the British people please put a halt to this abominable cruel government? For Christ's sake. Please. I'm so sick of all this unnecessary despair. It's becoming so draining now.
3). Meanwhile the mainstream media regurgitate the false smears about antisemitism again. It's just too much. The establishment refuse to hold the Tories to account, and are happy to label millions of British citizens as antisemitic just because they support human rights....

Labour Against the Witchhunt wouldn't even report a Nazi.

LAW have welcomed former MP Jim Sheridan's reinstatement by the party. He was suspended last summer over an #antisemitic statement he posted on Facebook. But LAW don't accept he did anything wrong in the first place. /1
When Labour members err, there ought to be opportunity for them to learn from the experience and make amends. But comrade Sheridan's statement after his suspension was lifted suggested his only regret was getting caught and he appeared to blame those who complained about him. /2
Let's recall what got him into trouble: Sheridan declared he had lost respect and empathy for an entire ethnic group - "the Jewish community" - due to events in @UKLabour. The #Holocaust, pogroms and persecution no longer moved him because of "their Blairite plotters". /3

How can Corbyn get into Downing St at the next election if one comes soon? Here is my thread looking at what needs to change from the 2017 #GeneralElection when #Labour won 262 seats. /1
To become the largest party, Labour needs to gain around 30 seats. It so happens that there are 29 seats where Labour is in 2nd place less than 3 pts behind the incumbent. 21 are held by the #CONSERVATIVES, 7 by the SNP, 1 by #plaidcymru. /2
To get a working majority, Labour needs to gain 61 seats given Sinn Fein don't take their seats. It so happens there are 62 seats where Labour is in 2nd place less than 7 pts behind the incumbent. 45 are held by the Conservatives, 16 by the SNP, 1 by Plaid Cymru /3

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.

An open letter to the Labour Party. (Please RT if support)

1. We write as Labour Party members or supporters to ask what is happening with the investigation into interference by the state of Israel into UK politics.
2. In January 2017, Al-Jazeera broadcast a four-part documentary, The Lobby, into a senior political officer of the Israeli Embassy in London plotting to “take down” Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan and discredit the then chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee
3. Crispin Blunt for disagreeing with Israel’s policies towards the Palestinian people.The evidence recorded on video exposed extensive interference by the Embassy into the Labour Party & the National Union of Students and its then president, a supporter of Palestinian rights.

Two serving Jewish Labour councillors have spoken out for the first time to expose the “extraordinary” levels of “institutional anti-semitism” in Momentum’s Haringey heartland in north London - thread 👇

thetimes.co.uk/article/jewish…
Joe Goldberg and Natan Doron said they had been repeatedly abused to their faces by pro-#Corbyn #Labour members — including fellow councillors — with crude allusions to their race or insulting references to the #Holocaust 👇
Goldberg the council’s cabinet member for economic development was accused by #Labour councillor of “bagel-barrel politics”

Same councillor said academy schools comparable to “Kristallnacht”, the Nazi pogrom in which 1,400 synagogues were attacked & dozens of Jews murdered 👇
