Speaking of hysterical denial (and being bitten in the butt, repeatedly, by stuff we try to disown), isn't it lovely that starmer's being crucified by alleged antisemitism?

almost as much fun as watching tories disembowel themselves with immigration (after brexit "drew a line under it")

it's a cross he wants to bear. I think he has done enough for the JLM.

tiptoeing very carefully around the frightening legal landmines here (as one do), I'd say it depends on what happen in gaza. Starmer has been known to do u turns and change his principles.

I think he's made a very bad mistake in first continuing to support the candidate, but then changing his mind and withdrawing it. He should have instantly withdrawn support the moment the story broke.

It's an anti-semite opening for the Tories and they'll sure as hell use it in the GE run up when all the smears start.

Indeed, he was the Tories model Crown Prosecutor, hence the Knighthood for being such a good obedient Tory.

Jon is a great comedic p... taker, but not much substance .
Think he's ticked off coz he's never got to interview any world leaders himself.
Qui Bono, simply follow the money, (who got richer) if one wants to know who feeds conflict around the world.

BBCQT last night was interesting. The audience (Maidenhead) is supposed to reflect the shares of votes, so preprominantly conservatives. I felt a little sorry for Lautra Trott having to defend her goverment with the occasional support from GBNews/Telegraph Camilla Tominey.
The most interesting question was how Labour is going to deliver better public services (NHS, detal care, child minders etc).
We talked a little about the same subjects here in France. The difference is France taxes a fair bit more so it can afford better public services while we have austerity since 2010.

Oddly I'm sorry to see the elvis impersonator go

Lee Anderson responds after suspension from Conservative Party over 'Islamophobic' comments

The former Tory deputy chairman's claim that "Islamists" had "got control" of the London mayor prompted criticism from Labour and some Tories, with Sadiq Khan himself saying it fuelled "the fire of anti-Muslim hatred".

much as I'm warming to truss, moreso after her attempts to rewrite history. Both have been more damaging to conservatism than bunker busters. Under starmer I'm afraid we'll have death by a thousand disingenuous cuts.

Under the law backed by MPs, possession will be legal, but strict rules mean it will be complicated.
