Nope, because what we should be doing is checking what works for the best schools and seeing how to emulate it. In the state sector. Overall resources of LEA'S far outweigh that of individuals private schools which huge purchasing power. Yet they do everything with one hand tied behind there back. Academies have gone some way to address that, but more could be done.

Breaking news is that Starmer predicted Corbyn's move setting him up to say something that would get him suspended.

Politically out manoeuvred yet again.

Why are people so committed to defending a guy with such a terrible record at the polls. Cult of personality?

Exactly even if they win Corbyn is an old man and yesterday's man in political terms where does it get them? Surely it makes sense to look for a new younger Corbyn type replacement that they can rally around and defend the Labour party as they see it.

Not that I am complaining mind you I am quite happy watching them commit Seppuku.

Big difference between risks with Islam and them living to different rules, whether Covid or non Covid, and not the case with Jews. News have never been a problem. They’re just too successful for left wingers.

COYP

As long as they deal with complaints about racism Islamaphobia etc. quickly and fairly they have nothing to worry about from the EHRC.

It occurs to me that the major parties should look at how Nigel Farage and UKIP dealt with these issues. For all of the left comments that UKIP is a racist party whenever there was a complaint about some idiotic UKIP supporter they would sack them withing weeks if not days.

Disappointed in you Steeleye it sounds like you are down playing the issue. Starmer is using it to his advantage because that's what politicans do.

The reason that this all came about was the sharp increase in membership when Corbyn became leader, unfortunately it brought in a lot of nasty people who probably are not proper Labour supporters. Corbyn did not do enough to kick this scum out and allowed his staff to interfere and bully people when they complained.

It's all there in the report you mention lack of political nous well that fits Corbyn as well to a tea.

This was a hot button issue through out his leadership and he simply failed to deal with it. I don't know what he was thinking or why he thought this would not damage him it did and will continue to do so.

The public voted in a two-faced scumbag like Johnson so why would Starmer be any different? I get excatly where you are coming from but politics at the top levels is a funny old game and what people tend to value above all else in their leaders, whether we like it or not, is a sense that these are people who will make tough decisions.

Starmer is ruthless. Yes, he is two faced and anybody would even a basic level of understanding are looking on aghast at how a man who was in the top echolons of Corybns shadow cabinet and did not say boo to a goose over this issue can now act so high and might. But the public don't see that. They see a man who is called 'Sir.'. Who wears nice suits. And who acts. It is possible this will work out well for him. Shows what a s***ty business politics is.

The question for you on the Left is where you go. I suspect you might all chuck a few toys out of the pram but essentially sit back and swallow this.

Bide your time would be my advice. Work at a local level, make the constituency system work for you. And accept that you have lost this battle, no matter how hard that might be to. We all have to eat s***. Key to it is to only pretend to swallow. Keep it in your mouth, let it rot down and then, when the time it right, spit it back out in the faces of those force fed you it in the first place.

s***, I should be charging for this! LOL.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

Sums up the problem with the looney left.

Starmer is the democratically elected leader of the Labour Party.

Corbyn is a communist throwback refusing to give up power. He refused to step down after every defeat at the polls, chased people out of the party, and completely ignored anti-semitism. Ultimately, his poor campaigning allowed Brexit to happen and handed the Tories two general election victories despite completely f***ing everything up. That's how bad he is.

He's not been accused of antisemitism. He's been found guilty of wilfully ignoring it. Brushing it aside as exaggerated fake news. Theres 130 pages of evidence against him from Equality and Human Rights Commission. It couldn't be more damning. When someone is found guilty, this issue isn't about how they feel, its about the victim.

This is starting to highlight the dangers far left groups pose. They accuse everyone of being criminals but really they just want power and have no regard for peoples human rights.

Starmer was knighted for his work on human rights, but you just want to throw inaccurate cheap stereotypical insults. The Law Society and Council of the Bar have tighter regulations on its members than any other professional organisation.

Corbyn called his bluff and starmer wasnt bluffing.
JC should have bit his lip but couldnt.
At least starmer can start clearing out momentifa.

This whole affair just demonstrates how insane political correctness is and why these absurd witch hunts should be abandoned. What is wrong with criticising Israel over their policy if that is how you feel? Why is it a sin to criticise any Jew? Are Jewish people now beyond criticism? Do we have to pretend that there is no link between Israeli policy and being Jewish?

Many on the Left think so.

It was always inevitable that this kind of puritanical nonsense would eat itself. Those that seemingly control our every waking thought from afar must just chuckle themselves to sleep every night.

Meanwhile, SKY sports is still a 24-hour anti-racism advertisement and occasionally mentions actual sport and the BBC is still trying to ignore the Islamist threat.

Anyone had enough yet?

Yup but the blessing is the rule makers eventually run out of scapegoats, as corbyn has found out.
