Stephen Fry has completely exposed the Antisemitic Left. They view Jewish people in the UK as legitimate targets for hate.
I’ve worshiped Stephen Fry for my entire adult life. To hear him conflate antiZionism with antisemitism has shocked me. To hear him show no care or support for the Palestinians & instead centre people in this country has broken me. Smashed windows vs carrying your dead child? 😡

Labour’s landslide victory in 1997 wasn’t a victory by me. I was 12. It was a victory for me. Fortunate to come of age under the best government for generations and delighted I was old enough to to vote for it in 2005. I was a year to young in 2001. Though I did deliver leaflets.

Jeremy Corbyn voted over 400 times against the last Labour govt. You are welcome to agree with his reasons on everyone. However that stat alone demonstrates he is unsuitable to be a Labour MP. That’s simply not what a Labour MP does. He’s never been loyal to anyone but himself

This is why Starmer was right to avoid picket lines with Mick Lynch. Whilst good on trains Lynch’s extremist & repellent politics were always going to come out in the inevitable overreach. At least Labour leadership can distance themselves from such toxic views.
EXCL: Mick Lynch says the “EU provoked a lot of the trouble in Ukraine”
Says: “There were a lot of corrupt politicians in Ukraine…. there were an awful lot of people [in Ukraine] playing with Nazi imagery”
