Hilarious how the Left has been manipulated into a one-issue party without them even grasping that they were manipulated 😂 You're playing checkers, Starmer is playing chess.

Jeremy Corbyn was "swift-boated". Pure and simple. Over a quarter of a century as Member of Parliament, one particular MP supported at least 57 motions submitted for debate in the House of Commons ("Early Day Motions" or EDMs) which either vigorously condemned antisemitism or supported Britain's Jewish communities in some way. More than one third of these 57 EDMs were so "obscure" that fewer than 10% of MPs could be bothered to show up and support the motion. In other words, this one MP was (and remains) at the vanguard in supporting British Jews and in the fight against antisemitism in the UK. And the name of this MP? Jeremy Corbyn.

This happened to our PM Gough Whitlam in Australia but he was pulled down out of office by US, UK and local quislings and then had his government and policies ridiculed despite having introduced public health, got troops out of Vietnam, introduced free tertiary education and gone to China to establish contact - before Nixon. Historically his tenure has been smeared and is still smeared. The anti semite slur was not being used at that time but the Murdoch media coupled with US/ UK meddling plus the local quislings including the leader of the trade union movement ( who later became a Labor PM!) managed to pound in a message that Labor were irresponsible managers of the economy. His advances have been dismantled by successive governments both conservative and Labor until today we have US/UK poodle quislings totally ensconced in foreign narrative unable to dare to see clearly where Australia should be heading and who our REAL friends are. Australians are being prepped with constant anti Chinese smears and phoney accusations in our media with zero pushback or discussion. Meanwhile our ‘treaties’ with UK/US are not even debated in parliament! Let alone the crazy military expenditure on stupid weapons which are presented to us as fait accompli. God help us.

It’s amazing why we can’t live our lives and leave other people alone by staying out of their business.

The exact same thing is happening here in Belgium (Flanders) as well. In the early noughties the SP (socialistische partij) changed it's name in SPa (socialistische partij anders) the socialist party different (similar to Tony Blair 's third way'), the SPa distanced itself from it's traditional voters and didn't want to be associated anymore with the working classes or what they called 'miserabilism'.

Corbyn treats his Jews well. Goes in to bat for them. Good for him. Like many Communists, Christians and Muslims down the years he treats Jews well when they are in their place - but they do have to be in their place, second class, second rate and one step behind their masters, because Jews live in their countries. If Jews ever dared to step out of their place like fight for their own country in their ancient homeland then they incur the wrath of their spiritual and ideological superiors, (especially as they are Christ killers.) Now these Christ killers are strong enough to defend themselves against Far Left, Far Right, Christians and Muslim ideology they have achieved equal footing. THIS SIMPLY WILL NOT DO. This makes Jews equal with people who are special enough to have their own nations !!!! How can Jews be as special as us ? We can't have that can we ? For Corbyn and the others, some Jews (Zionists) have stepped out of line, gotten above their station. These are the Jews he does not treat well at all. He and the others put them down so viciously and energetically - in a way only Jews understand….. a way no other country or nation experiences or will ever experience. I wonder if that lot will have this “special” relationship with Jews for the next thousand years also ?

@@cdean2789 Now i know why Bill Binney and you other rightwingers dislike George Soros. Who is George Soros and why is he disliked by conservatives? I saw this press conference by Ron DeSantis concerning Trump's arrest where he mentioned a guy named George Soros. He specifically said "The Soros district attorneys". I've heard the name before. Who is he talking about exactly? Ah George Soros, the anti conservative Boogeyman that every right leaning individual hates but if you ask what he did, they'll only tell you scary stories about funding pedophile rings and biological experiments. Everyone on the right seems to hate George Soros but no one can really tell you why. The answer is simple, he beat Rupert Murdoch, the godfather of conservative media, in the 90s and Murdoch has been salty ever since. Soros is a billionaire currency investor that supports many liberal causes. Not really progressive ones, more so neo liberal/left-center ones. So what did he do? In the 90s, the UK was having a bad time with their currency and the ruling conservatives in the UK decided to pump money into the British Pound Sterling to keep it up in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. Murdoch spent a lot of time, energy, and above all, money defending this decision to the British public, basically staking his reputation on it. But it was the wrong decision and George Soros saw that, he short sold the Sterling, meaning he was betting on its value going down. This terrible decision by the conservatives led to 3 billion pounds being lost by the government in 1992. But where there's a loser, there's a winner and that winner was George Soros who made over £1 billion in a day (over $1.5 billion). This also destroyed what little reputation the conservatives had left. See Murdoch had been losing on the PR front for years by this point. He stood by Thatcher and she was ousted. He printed that the conservatives were the party of morals and dozens of its members were exposed in sex scandals. He said they were the party of jobs and unemployment went from hundreds of thousands to millions under them. All that they had left was being the party of fiscal responsibility and in one swift move, Soros proved that was untrue too. The conservatives lost the next three general elections. They lost all their seats in the Scottish parliament. And Murdoch was exposed as a liar and worse, an idiot. He's never forgiven Soros for that and has since commanded his media empire to bad mouth Soros every chance they get. And that's why 30 years later, every conservative from the USA to the UK to Australia will tell you Soros is the devil but can't ever tell exactly what he did. Because what he really did was be smarter than the man who runs conservative media Aztecah

He is like the counterpoint to Rupert Murdoch Probably better described as the progressive counterpoint of the conservative Koch Brothers. Yeah but like WHO IS HE? How did he become wealthy? He’s essentially the right wings boogeyman. He’s got money and spends it on left wing candidates. They essentially put him in the center of dozens of conspiracy theories as being this spooky puppet master plotting the downfall of broke, blue collar America. NealR2000 regardless of what you think of George Soros, it's important to remember that demonizing individuals like this is not productive for our democracy.

Jeremy Corbyn & Bernie Saunders equals Peace and Compassion for the People

I paid my £3 joined my local CLP (along with the "Momentum" activist faction by default) and went out with local canvassing teams in my area in North West London. However before we engage in a hagiography here, I will refer you to page 127 where Asa writes "Every time the Jewish Labour Movement and Labour Friends of Israel (both pro-Zionist factions) cropped up with their latest smear, activists (including myself) were ready to respond. But Corbyn's office failed to capitalise on this energy, and there seemed to be no political will from Labour's left wing leadership to take on the lobby." Furthermore on page 163 Asa writes "Supposed "comparisons" of Israel or Zionism were deemed to be unacceptable - no matter how historically factual or carefully worded. These were matters for expulsion, suspension or disciplinary action. Ken Livingstone and Moshe Machover were the only two high profile cases. The effect was to keep the "anti-Semitism crisis" in headlines for years. The fact that Corbyn did not protect Livingstone, one of his vanishingly few senior party allies, sent a message to the grassroots that none were safe should they step out of line." And so we saw the likes of Jackie Walker, Graham Bash, Marc Wadsworth and Chris Williamson picked off, one by one, for marginalisation and eventually expulsion. The fact that Corbyn failed to protect any of these staunch anti-Zionists showed his Achilles heel, which was that of capitulation and appeasement to the right wing Parliamentary Labour Party, the executive of which finally threw Corbyn himself, under the bus. So yes, the Israel Lobby persisted in their determination to destroy the Corbyn project, however, I think it would be more accurate to say that it was Corbyn himself who committed political suicide through his continual appeasement and capitulation. Having said that, had Corbyn become Prime Minister we would be living in a completely different political, social and economic landscape - and we would not find ourselves being governed by a right-wing duopoly and being drawn into a direct conflict with Russia through the UK government's collusion in a bespoke proxy war manufactured and provoked by the USA which has now had to resort to the desperate measures of sending cluster munitions to its client, in violation of international law. Meanwhile we continue to be propagandised by a Deep State controlled media, into believing that it was Putin who provoked all this. And so, black is white, North is South, up is down and if you even try to push back against all this dissemblance you have the legions of NAFO trolls bombarding you with tropes and accusing you of being either a Russian or a Chinese asset - or both for that matter. As Chomsky suggested (before he lost his mind) it is all ill informed public that facilitates and enables the greatest duplicity and venality on the part of the plutocracy. And now there are many groping around blindly in the fog of a mass acquiescence psychosis, wholly dependent upon the analyses and pontifications of the high priests of on-line networks. Don't let others do your 'thinking' for you, it is symptom of intellectual laziness. Read and study as widely as possible and gain hard and fast evidence for your assertions, and then don't be afraid to stand up and speak the truth, even if everyone around you tries to shout you down and cut you off.. Otherwise, your democracy just degenerates into the tyranny of mob rule.

@@paulforan4550 It has nothing to do with the "power of the Jews". The state of Israel invests huge amounts of resources into making us believe that it is a Jewish State. This helps them accusing their critics of being anti-semitic. However, the majority of Jews in the world live outside of Israel and do not identify strongly (or at all) with this political project. Hence, Chris Hedges, Corbyn and others always refer to the State of Israel (and not the Jewish people) as one of the stakeholders in determining national politics in Europe and the USA (and increasingly in non-western countries). Conflating Jewishness ot the State of Israel is exactly reinforcing their message and helping the State of Israel silence their critics.

The only thing I disagree with Corbyn was his dislike of things like electoral reform (eg replacing FPTP single member seats in the Commons with something like MMP w/ RCV/AV), and his dislike of the idea of devolving some of the domestic powers of Parliament to the Regions of England, as exists with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Whatever socialism is, it can't be achieved and most importantly *sustained* from top-down authority, but must vested as much as possible with the people. The present state of the UK Parliamentary system prevents that.

Thanks!

Look at what they have done to Andrew Bridgen ( conservative ) over his views on Vaccatations & Excess deaths since

I have voted Labour, Green or Liberal Democrat - mostly Labour - all of my life. I have never and will NEVER vote tory. I am 65 years old, work for the NHS and/or Social Services. I was over the Moon when Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party - it felt exciting and cool - remember when he was at Glastonbury? When Starmer said that it was ok for war crimes against Gaza - I was truly appalled. I am excited that Galloway won Rochdale with a huge majority and the candidate that came second was an unheard off independent! With Owen Jones establishing the We Deserve Better movement and with George Gallaway's Party (79 candidates) and the Greens etc, there is the potential for a coalition of various parties who actually represent the people. I have transferred my monthly financial contributions from The Labour Party to George Gallaway's party.

I was always a labour voter until Tony Blair invaded Iraq, and when Jeremy Corbyn arrived i was ready for voting labour again, however the behaviour of the Labour Party under him, no chance were they getting my vote.
