[@tjenadonn6158]

Even the edutainment channels, like Jay Foreman's lovely Politics Unboringed series, mock the idea of reading party manifestos as being painfully boring. The only political manifestos people read are The Communist Manifesto and The Unabomber Manifesto, and that's not because they're planning on voting for Karl Marx or Ted Kaczynski.

the Forde report is being ignored on left centrist youtube channels - kind of sad

[@patcampton7163]

It's been ignored by Starmer and he ordered it. Sadly it didn't say what he wanted it to say.

[@tharoz6406]

The Forde report stared that anti-semetism within Labour was not overstated or exaggerated and Corbyn was wrong to claim it was. That is not an exoneration. The report had plenty of criticism to go around and Corbyn does not come out of it looking any better than anyone else. Corbyn was hugely unpopular with the country at large, some of that was undoubtedly due to Tory and others propaganda, but trying to claim that it was exclusively due to propaganda is wishful thinking on another level. Even if Corbyn's massive unpopularity had been exclusively down to propaganda, that wouldn't change the reality that he was hugely unpopular. None of his policies got a fair hearing because he was so personally unpopular. At that point, he became the problem, and the leaders main role is to position the party to win the election, if they themselves are the main obstacle to winning that election, then they should go. No matter who they are, or what they have done, the party and the country are bigger issues than one person. It is identical to the issue the Tories struggled with protecting Boris amid his lies, they treated the party as more important than the country, and elements of Labour fell into the same trap with Corbyn. There is a wealth of evidence to support that Shaheen is wrong in her opinion to blame propaganda exclusively for the Labour defeat, but she is welcome to hold it. If she can set aside that opinion in service to the greater Labour good, then she should absolutely be the Labour candidate, and receive the full support of the party.

[@oldishandwoke-ish1181]

Another trick of the Right wing media - when they're not lying to us, they're lying by omission.

Corbyn being accused of anti-semitism is like accusing Boris Johnson of being anti capitalist.

[@koala6016]

[@keithhallam1155]

Your mistake Peter, accusing Corbyn of racism or anti Semitism is the equivalent of accusing Margaret Thatcher of being in the communist party.

[@annmowatt7547]

Disgraceful but typical response from Labour. This has reminded me of Bernie Saunders and the Clinton camp. Saunders was making real inroads in the US with his union promotion and socialist ideals but had to be stamped on to let a "real candidate" stand. Result Trump, a role model for Johnson, Jan. 6th and still the possible death of democracy. Great report as always.

[@alanwhitham4]

With Hillary Clinton the democrats managed to choose the only candidate in their party that was a worse option than Trump !

[@kydrake4695]

She is absolutely right to have a lawyer ready. One of the most frustrating things about Corbyn is that he didn't use the resource he was given to fight in the courts. There are a lot of people without that resource who are routinely smeared as racist now and they have no recourse to defend themselves

[@feydrautha012]

Yep. She needs to make immediate and devastating examples out of people via defamation lawsuits. I'd go so far as saying that she should bait targets into making false allegations. Put the squeeze on them, and make the UK MSM consider doing something they've not done in a long time: fact-based reporting.

[@jayhenderson8483]

The most frustrating thing about Corbyn was that he treated people who were his bitter enemies as though their repulsive inventions were worthy of any consideration. He should have treated them with the contempt they deserved and ignored them. So should Starmer and co be treated with their totally invented accusations of "antisemitism" against anyone who does not agree with him.

And, of course, Corbyn's refusal to accept the IHRA's definition of anti-semitism - perfectly right of him, given that it deems virtually any criticism of Israel or Zionism as de facto 'anti-semitic - naturally added fuel to the accusations.

Faiza is great, I saw her do a talk once. You know who else was part of the same event alongside her? Pre-leader Kier Starmer. Apparently he had no problem with her then ...

Party unity is important at a time when the Tories are vulnerable and public support is on the side of a fundamental change in the people who are governing our country. Saying that, Starmer's Labour is busy fighting members of its own party who refuse to tow his line. He's also hugely defensive on aspects of policy which members of his party don't agree with him on. Instead of discussing with them and coming to a consensus as it should be done in private, he uses every situation he can to punitively oust people who refuse to conform to the party line. That is a tory party and blairite strategy - it is awful for the politics of this country and it just adds to the factionalism. A leader should unite, not perpetuate the already existing factionalism which is taking away focus from governing the country.

If Labour Inc knew what was good for it they'd purge Starmer and his co-conspirators like a bad case of food poisoning.

@@tjenadonn6158 Corbyn and his polcies didn't resonant with voters, the 2019 GE is evidence of that. The fact Labour have taken a different path with Starmer shows they have an understanding of what is good for them.

I agree with your points but, this video being a prime example, labour party members are far more interested in grandstanding and washing dirty laundry in public to 'prove' how much more socialist they are than anyone else in the party. It's bloody stupid, divisive and does not win elections, the RW media will do its damnedest to destroy any opposition to the tories etc. and Labour party members seem intent on doing their job for them.

[@tjenadonn6158]

@@ollyole4560 If you read the Forde Report (well if you were literate you wouldn't be a Tory and thus wouldn't support Starmer, but anyways) you'd know that Corbyn lost because Starmer and his co-conspirators deliberately sabotaged him. Corbyn really said nothing that Mick Lynch isn't saying, and he's currently kicking Kier Starmer the Union Harmer's ass in the polls despite not belonging to a political party. The only difference is that Mick doesn't have his own team working against him. Now I know what you're going to say: it's the same thing every Starmer fan says when someone disagrees with them. "But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn? But what about Corbyn?

If you want Tories vote for Tories: stop ruining Labour.

@@tjenadonn6158 No, I will not accept your delusion view of the world. I've been a member of the labour party for over a decade now and know exactly how I feel politically. I actually support this party and really hope they win the next GE. You on the other hand are so far removed from reality you think everything is some kind of conspiracy. Kier was elected democratically by the membership to lead, he is leading and if he does win the next GE, he will bring back social mobility and improve the lives of those most in need as every labour government has done in the last century.

Jack Straw has an interesting record of his own. In the 60's and 70's he used to run with some very intersting people, helping to fund armed insurrections in Latin America amongst other places.

This centrist thing of bashing lefties by accusing them of sympathy with bigots is getting really annoying. It’s done in the US as well and is a way centrists can avoid discussing economic justice

[@feydrautha012]

Mark Fisher was warning of that strategy early on. Of course it was patently absurd with e.g. Sanders; of people that have gotten close to the presidency, he was the *most* intersectional, not the least. Imagine how the same corporatists (that have the cynical idpol arguments* against Sanders) that fall over each other to defend Justin 'blackface' Trudeau would have acted if something like this was in Sander's past? * there are, of course, legit idpol issues, like POC getting brutalized disproportionally by the police-but none of the people who raged and frothed about Sanders wrt race issues give af about Biden/Obama/Clinton doing nothing. Well, worse that nothing, they make it worse by expanding/militarizing the police.

The Labour Party seems to be losing its way. It seems to have forgotten the principles it was founded on. The current leader of the party seems to be scared to run on these principles because he fears it will go against the party getting into government. I personally think he is misguided on this view point. I think most fair-minded people respect old fashioned values & the Labour Party as stood for these values throughout its history. Faiza Shaheen is a jewel in Labours crown.

Lord Havealook Tony Benn was Sir Anthony Wedgewood Benn . He ditched the title presumably because a man can't serve two masters . Now he was a socialist .

[@alanwhitham4]

Lord Havealook I'm not sure Starmer misguided . He's clearly not a socialist . Jeremy Corbyn was elected as a socialist by the ordinary members not the PLP . This was his real problem because the PLP are mainly Blairite neoliberals in my opinion , not socialists . On the whole they don't represent the working class , as we've just seen . The working class is effectively unrepresented .
