Labour has every reason to go after the far fringes, not least because that is where it will find enemies, not friends.

Consider last Friday’s anti-Israel in demonstration in Bradford, organised by Arshad Ali. See him rail about Bradford’s Labour-controlled council. 1/8
The council “created every obstacle they could” for the rally, he claims. “We refuse! We stand in solidarity with Mr Corbyn!”

He adds that he has been rejected by Labour (good!) and is "in exile".

Well, the council was right to be concerned, if Ali’s claims are true. 2/8
At one point, the disgraced former MP and awful antisemite David Ward was listed as a speaker at this rally. So was "Lowkey" (TBC), a raging Hamas fan and ridiculous 9/11 truther. 3/8
In the end, the crowd had to make do with the nasty Islamist activist Salma Yaqoob, among others. Corbyn chatted amiably with her at the event. 4/8
Mind you, though, Arshad Ali does try hard. In the clip, he says "we welcome Mr Galloway, sorry, Mr Corbyn to Bradford". He stumbled because he was one of Galloway's key Bradford "Respect" wreckers. And yes, he too is an antisemite. 5/8
So no wonder he is bitter. Very bitter. Happily for Arshad, that Jeremy balm does soothe. 6/8
Labour has turned a blind eye to its people speaking at countless Israel hatred events, from early May right up to this rally. Even though the movement brims with people who have nothing but contempt for today's party. 7/8

You see, the frontbencher Imran Hussain MP and Richard Burgon MP did speak at the rally.

The fringe proscription move, if overdue, is very welcome. But action is needed all the way up to the PLP level if Labour is truly to extricate itself from Corbynism's hateful swamp. 8/8

London, 18 January 2025. The "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" deliberately defies police orders not to march up Whitehall. Nasty scuffles ensue. 77 were arrested on the day.

What did senior Labour figures have to say about this abuse of the capital?

Nothing at all. 1/8
Know what they were ignoring. The usual chants for racist terrorists bent on genocide for the Jews, directed here at counter-protesters.

"Watch your back!"

Just up the road from Prime Minister Starmer's home.

Key march leaders were later charged with public order offences. 2/8
"Zionist scum!"

Abuse for the police. "Go to hell!" "Shut the f**k up!" "You're finished!" They struggled to regain control from the mob.

"We will march!", when the police had repeatedly told them it was not allowed. 3/8

There is nothing left to spoil in the National Education Union. It is just one big barrel of rotten apples.

The rot starts right at the top. NEU General Secretary Daniel Kebede is another fanatical Israel hater. That is his top cause, before education.

You could see this at...
...the TUC Congress in Brighton. He raged about lurid and unsubstantiated allegations from Gaza.

His union brought two motions. Neither covered education.

One was just a full-on attack on Israel. Hamas and the hostages? Nothing.

If you are a member of the NEU, please leave. Image
See Jenny Sutton spin a mythical tale about a Palestinian young man to justify the Hamas atrocities of 7 October 2023. Blame the Jews! Do not condemn!

"Stand with the resistance!" "From the river to the sea!"

This squalid creep should have no role of any kind in education.

Some MPs are concerned about the progress of the flotilla for Hamas. I can reassure them. They're in fine form. Buoyant, even. Here they are in Tunis, with Saint Greta present.

The "river to the sea" cry for Israel's annihilation and "Israel will never be!". Hurrah! 1/7
Followed by the treasured ethnic cleansing chants. "Free Palestine, Zionists, out, out!" Hey, just like at home in the UK. Wonderful!

Even better, here are the "death!" chants after a "defeat Zionism!" call. A proper British triumph. Remember to thank the BBC. 2/7
Let's do the ethnic cleansing chants again. We really like them.

"From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab! Zionists, out, out!"

Savour the rage. 3/7

Obligatory attire if your job is, you know, standing up for British workers. Image
Phew. They really are looking after British workers at TUC Congress. Image
Well, let it not be said that they aren't looking after any workers' rights. Image

You're a GP in a spot of bother because you insist on wearing a Palestine pin and a keffiyeh headband at work. You also have a Palestinian flag in your office.

What do you do?

Tamara Ali has chosen to welcome "fight Zionists" support from the ultra racist David Miller. 1/6 Image
Another supporter she promotes is George Galloway groupie Hussain Shafei. He too is a repulsive hater. 2/6 Image
The disgusting antisemite Rehiana Ali is another backer Tamara Ali welcomes.

Rehiana is very upset about the UK being "occupied" by Jews. She's scared that there are "undeclared" Jews in Parliament. She likes Hamas and Holocaust slurs. Now there's a fine supporter. 3/6 Image

Islam Channel, an extremist platform, has some wonderful fans. Today, it posted footage of the terrorist attack in Jerusalem.

How did they react? 1/4 Image
With waves of the most disgusting hatred.

"Good job." "More!" "May Allah grant the great freedom fighters paradise." "Amazing." "Well done good shooting." "How many cleaned from the face of the earth?"

Some perverse "inside job" insanity.

Right down to the Nazi level. 2/4 Image
"That's how you protect your homeland and house." "That's how you know you don't belong there."

"This was promised to them 3000 years ago." Spin that as "just anti-Zionist".

Abundant "hot", heart eyes, clapping and laughing emojis. More rats. 3/4 Image
