Starmer hasn't united labour he has divided it, a quite unjustified suspension.

Wasn't he there himself?

Ah apology for not acting quickly enough has often been made by JC, but act he did.

A third of the population think that labour is anti-semitic which is nonsense, the figure given by the enquiry was 0.3 of 1%.

But the UK is just such a hysterical place now.

Perhaps they’ll get Shami Chakrabarti to conduct another exhaustive enquiry.

But Militant never gained 40% of the vote at an election. Militant never gained 300 000 members for the Labour party. Militant never built policy platforms on renationalisation, a Green New Deal and the Preston model which are now finding cross-party approval.

As I repeat, if Starmer thinks that by suspending Corbyn he can move on from his legacy, he is a fool. Had he not suspended Corbyn, he may well have managed it.

You're correct about numbers but the effect of Militant was the same as it was with JC and Momentum - it split the Labour Party. If JC, Momentum and the remains of that 300,000 who joined up want to form a new party and take on Labour and the Tories then so be it. I'll listen to their arguments and decide who to support.

The central issue here isn't the many strong policies that JC fought elections on, including renationalisation and many others, the central issue we are discussing is that he failed to stop antisemitism rising rabidly in the party. Not only failed to stop it and expel those who were responsible but by his lack of action he condoned and encouraged it. That was his job as leader. Disavow it. Root it out. He didn't. Speak to Labour-supporting Jews who feel robbed of their right to vote for the party they've always believed in and who feel abused by people who confuse and conflate the Israeli/Palestine issue with being Jewish.

I seldom partake in the political debates for reasons I have already explained so will make a fleeting appearance on this thread.

In my humble estimation, Starmer has made the decision to suspend Corbyn as he believes it is politically convenient to do so.The electorate will remember that he was a prop to Corbyn when the anti-semitism debate was raging.I shall leave it there!

It would be better if they split from fair-weather friends like you.

This is true, one of the old school politicians in it for the many, not the few! Unfortunately, the working class masses fall in to the buying a rag every morning to read the sport and read the headlines, made up by the billionaires living abroad favouring our etonian friends, believing that these rich billy bunter/lord snooty types have the working mans interest at heart! I have given up on saving the working classes, i"m quite enjoying sitting back and watching their faith in boris and his cronies unravel, especially up north, i think Jeremy should stick to feeding the homeless in London on christmas day, as he has done for the past 30 years, while boris has a few weeks on his billionaire pals caribbean island free, and the workers enjoy their sandwiches!

Unlike Emily Thornberry and her mockery of “white van man” or Ruth Kelly, Shami Chakrabarty, Debbie Abrahams, Diane Abbott, etc, who had their children privately educated. True champions of the working class.

But would you?
