"Keir Starmer has emerged as an early frontrunner in the Labour leadership race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn after a poll of members suggested he was the first choice in all regions of the UK, age groups and social classes."

Rationality to return? 🤞🤞🤞 theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
KS, with either Jess Phillips or Yvette Cooper as deputy, and Labour might have half a chance of being electable again...

Or it can wander off into the trackless wilderness under Rebecca Long-Bailey.
Before you get all hot and huffy, bear in mind there is almost zero overlap at this point between what Labour members want and what the wider population (who will be 100% critical if Labour is ever to get a majority in future) will support.

In 1950 (during rationing) there was 7,428,000 hectares of arable land in the UK.
In 2018, there was just 6,206,000 hectares of arable land.

In 1950, the population of the UK was 50.38 million.
In 2018, it was 66.44 million.

Still think we can feed ourselves after Brexit?
In 1950 (during rationing) there were 10.6 million cattle in the UK.
In 2018, there were just 9.9 million cattle.

Still think we can feed ourselves after Brexit?
In 2017, we imported 58% more food by value (in real terms, i.e. after adjusting for inflation) than we did as recently as 2005. Our trade deficit for food and drink increased by 35% over the same period.

Over 1,500 people have grabbed a FREE Kindle copy of my book, Slaying Brexit Unicorns, in the last 3 days...

The promotion still has a couple of days to run, so if you'd like to join them, click the link below then choose "Buy now" on the right hand side.
amazon.co.uk/Slaying-Brexit…
Notes
1. You don't have to have a physical Kindle device to read it. You can view Kindle books via a web browser, or download the free Kindle app for PC or mobile phones.
2. You get to keep it after the promotion expires on 4 January and it goes back to the usual price.
3. If your local Amazon isn't the UK one, then search for the title of the book (Slaying Brexit Unicorns) and you should be able to download it free from your Amazon, assuming that it sells Kindle ebooks.

Under 60 hours left to grab a FREE Kindle copy of my book, Slaying Brexit Unicorns. Busts two dozen Brexit myths, and shines a spotlight on the reality of no deal & trade on WTO terms. Bonus: a 45 page sector-by-sector breakdown of existing Brexit damage.
amazon.co.uk/Slaying-Brexit…
NOTES
1. Though the promotion ends soon, your downloaded copy of the book will stay free.
2. You don't need a Kindle device! You can read it online via Amazon's cloud reader, or download it to PC or mobile Kindle apps.
3. Link is to UK store - should be free on other Amazons too.
BTW, Amazon's interface can be a bit confusing. You want to make sure you're on the "Kindle Edition" page then choose the "Buy now" button on the right hand side under the bit that says "Kindle Price £0.00"...

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

Which party has the oldest average age of MPs? THREAD
First off, we must thank-you all. We launched a poll on Monday expecting maybe 500 responses maximum. Instead we had a whopping three-thousand-two-hundred-and-thirty votes on our Twitter poll.

That’s ridiculous.
We asked you which party you thought had the oldest average age of MPs.

Most of you, 66%, thought it was the @Conservatives, then the @LibDems (15%), then @UKLabour (14%), with the @theSNP coming in last with (5%).

I bet the SNP are feeling fairly youthful right about now.

Jeremy Corbyn says he "sincerely regret[s]" commenting under a post about a mural that on closer examination was anti-semetic. His comment was lazy & added to hurt arising from the mural. There can be no excuse for anti-semetism, of any kind.
In 2003, 15 years ago, Jeremy Corbyn signed a Parliamentary Motion that condemned terrorist & anti-Semitic attacks on 2 Synagogues. parliament.uk/edm/2003-04/123
In 2013, 5 years ago, Jeremy Corbyn signed a Parliamentary Motion that condemned Antisemitism is sport. parliament.uk/edm/2012-13/11…

The noises coming out of #Labour on racism towards Jews (let us call it that) are increasingly hollow.
Let's not even talk about the 1000s of oddballs in & around Labour, who rant on about "Zionists", etc like UKIPers talk about "immigrants", but we know where both are pointing.

One is profiled here in detailed (& mostly ignored by Labour "radicals")

I asked this question ages ago, with no satisfactory answer:

Labour members, do you like antisemitism or Holocaust denial? Can you spot it?
