Antisemitism well and truly a thing of the past in todays Labour Party.
Good old Angela Raynor saying Labour will recognise the state of Palestine, AFTER the election, will that be in the official manifesto?, whilst addressing a group of Muslims and pleading with them not to oust her at the election.

Do you think that only Muslims care about Palestine?

Abbott confirms she is banned from standing for Labour. Disgrace how she?s been treated. Starmer goes even further down in my estimation.

[Search & Destroy]

Starmer knows all Abbott brings is controversy which Labour don?t need

It?s the World Cup final , they are 3-0 up with 10 mins to go

They take the ball to the corner flag and run down the clock

No need for Abbott, or weekly debates with RS

You bring on Rice for Foden, not Maddison for Stones

It?s down to Rishi to gamble with the National Service and tax cuts for pensioners

That?s as close as I can get to a football analogy

And Streeting is interviewed live on National TV and says it?s the first he?s heard about it.

Of course, it?s not been confirmed by the labour party that what Abbott is saying is correct, I don?t think, but if it does get confirmation, another example of the shower we?ve got waiting in the wings.

How can a member of the shadow cabinets front bench go on National TV and not know what?s happening with a headline news story surrounding internal matters of their own party?

Yep disgrace but like S&D correctly puts above she can be a liability unfortunately and it gets all the ignorant racists excited when she makes a mistake (despite her being the best constituency MP around)!

You're not wrong, I can see why it's been done but she's represented her constituency well for, what is it, 37 years or summat? She deserves some dignity, and this has been handled awfully, as is often the case with the Labour party.

Yeah mate, the best way to deal with racists is to remove BAME people from public life. Good point.

Said I'd apologise if she was cleared - so here goes... Apologies Angela for doubting you.


Of course, had you come out and explained which of the two possible options it was early on then we wouldnt have been through this farce. And of course you still havent said whether you somehow found a way to make the CGT payable zero (in which case technically CGT was due but the amount was zero) or you were already separated from Mr Raynor as the only way a married couple can have two PPRs is if the marriage has broken down and steps being taken to separate permanently

The former is of course easiest... its just an entry on a spreadsheet...

She is a typical London Metropolitan mp - put her in a seat anywhere outside of the M25 with an average cross section of society she wouldn?t be an mp. She has had a far longer career because she has a cosy seat in loony Bernie Grant land.

Yep I heard him. Good when scripted; ok when questioned about the strike (but yep we?ll negotiate with the Drs was dull) but about Abbott he was squirming, deflecting and poor.

The state of politics today. For balance: Labour AND Tory.

Wow fella - are you trying to post the most stupid post of the year here??
Loony Bernie Grant land? He?s been dead a quarter of a century and he wasn?t from Hackney - Jesus!

Of course. The Lib Dems.

For balance if the Lib Dems win I?ll donate ?1000 to Ashgate Hospice

Win any seats, as the way they are going they will get less share than the Reform party - and given the quality of the opposition that is an appalling performance, given its an ABC election

Not had one piece of literature nor do I know who their candidate is in my constituency. It seems their fair deal wants to freeze train ticket prices - no mention how they will pay for it - and give the vote to 16 year olds - so it looks like Labour nicked that one . They also want to scrap CGT tax free allowance - which I'd agree with. But the rest is wishy washy words...

They havent ruled out a coalition with Labour which of course might put off lots of voters!

My apologies you are right, it wasn't Hackney Council he led but, Haringey. I think that is 2 or 3 miles away. It wasn't loony either, just plain old Barmy Bernie that he was referred to.
