Labour's most recent jump in the polls was driven by Remainers leaving the LibDems. 
This is worrying for the Tories who are depending on strong Lib Dem showings in seats to keep Labour out.

So the Jewish Labour Movement EHRC report published today, just to be clear these are all statemenst from 75 past and present Labour members, not the right wing neo liberal press as Magpie Seanie and Seafoid would have you believe -



@francesweetman

I've read the Jewish Labour Movement EHRC report, so you don't have to.  I'm going to list some of the most shocking points raised by the report below.

I will not be including details of Jeremy Corbyn's personal antisemitism, as this has already been done elsewhere. Thread.

One Jewish Labour member listed 22 examples of antisemitic abuse directed at him at CLP meetings.  These included the phrases "Hitler was right", "child killer" and "shut the f**k up Jew". (page 4)

One Jewish member shared a breakfast table at party conference with delegates who agreed that Jews were "subhuman" and should "be grateful we don't make them eat bacon..every day." (page 5)

One Jewish Labour member alleged an article arguing Jews were overrepresented in the capitalist class was defended on official Labour Party mailing lists. (page 7)

A Jewish sixth-former was forced to leave the Labour Party Forum on Facebook after members sifted through his account for links to Jewish organisations. (page 7)

A Jewish Labour member had made a comment online condemning holocaust denial.  The administrator of the Labour Party Forum group responded by calling him a "frothing Hasbara Troll." (page 8)

One Jewish member faced death threats after she was filmed being upset watching a debate about antisemitism at the Labour Party Conference. (page 8)

One Jewish was the subject of a 30-minute film made by an antisemitic member, who abused him as a "f**king Jew" and threatened to punch him in the face. (page 8)

The membership secretary in South Tottenham CLP allegedly objected to 25 applications from the Jewish community, and required home visits to their houses.  This was not a requirement for other members. (page 9)

Three branches in Stockton CLP refused to vote for a motion condemning the Pittsburgh attack in 2018.  The opponents felt the word "antisemitism" should be removed from the motion, despite it being the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the US. (page 14)


Margaret Hodge was subject to abuse after expressing her feelings on Labour antisemitism.  One example includes the phrase "your smear campaign...would make Goebbels proud." (page 17)

A staff member was appointed despite allegedly having a history of antisemitism.  The appointment was signed off personally by Katie Murphy and Jennie Formby. (page 19)

The Leader's office allegedly interfered directly in the disciplinary process. An advisor allegedly stated that "JC [is] interested in this one, while discussing action on a specific case. (page 22)

Staff in the complaints team were allegedly told that they were not to provide updates or responses in respect of antisemitism complaints. (page 24)

Staff allege that after the 2017 GE, the Leader's Office expected staff to disregard antisemitic incidents from a long time ago. (page 25)

In early 2019, the decision was taken that Laura Murray would head the complaints team.  This means the Leader's office could control the team directly. (page 26)

Pete Willsman and Claudia Webbe (both alleged to have a history of antisemitism, separately to this report) were said to defend alleged antisemites to the complaints team. (page 27)

One example of a person permitted to remain linked to the party despite suspension was the vice-chair of Woking Labour, who tweeted that Hitler was the "Zionist God". (page 28)

Some antisemitism cases that go word for word against the Labour Party rule book were subject to blanket exceptions.  No suspension issued. (page 32)

Alex Scott-Samuel, who has promoted Rothschild conspiracy theories on a David Icke show, chaired the meeting to discuss Luciana Berger's replacement.  He was never sanctioned. (page 42)

Elleanne Green, a close friend fo Jeremy Corbyn, shared a post blaming "scriptwriters in Tel Aviv" for the Christchurch massacre. The report implies her case is ongoing or she has never been sanctioned. (page 42)

Tom Watson had allegedly forwarded 50 complaints to Corbyn, and no action was taken.  Examples of complaints included tweets linking Hitler & the Rothschilds, and questioning whether Jewish MPs had "human blood". (page 43)

For those who have asked, I have also not included the sections on (Labour Councillor and pro-Corbyn activist) Thomas Gardiner's role in the antisemitism disciplinary process.  That is because Panorama covered this better than anyone.  It's worth a watch

I guess we are going to have to wait and see the EHRC report and whatever evidence it has to support the allegations. I for one won't hold back in condemnation of antisemitism or a failure to deal with it when I see the evidence. I don't doubt that there will be evidence in some and possibly many instances

Missed the Arlene Foster interview on the BBC tonight but I'd bet she again tried to steer away from talking about Brexit and shifted the focus onto anything but Brexit which seems to have been the DUP strategy from the start.

This has been a toxic election campaign as the DUP have allowed themselves to be led by UDA and loyalist unelected representatives in a blatant attempt to take the heat off themselves in relation to Brexit and in order to buy some extra votes. No vision or strategic plan shown yet again by political unionism. I hope they suffer at the ballot box but I wouldn't bet on it.

Elsewhere, over the water Corbyn seems to be finally making some belated ground on the Tories as Johnson continues to get exposed for the charlatan that he is. Expect this gap to narrow over the last week of the campaign but Corbyn needs a high turnout particularly among the younger electorate to give himself a chance of entering into no. 10 in some form of coalition. Either way, I reckon that one of either Johnson or Corbyn will be toast in just over 1 weeks time.

Very interesting timing
Has anything similar been done on antisemitic behaviour in the Conservative Party? If irrational hatred of Jews were such a problem I imagine it would have to be.

It really could and should have been much worse.

No mention of RHI or even the fact that the DUP agreed to a regulatory border in the Irish sea as a precursor to Boris going full hogg on Customs as well.

There was a wee touch on Ian Og's behaviour with Arlene letting it slip that the Westminster Parliamentary standards committee are looking into his other holiday to the Maldives as well.

Sam McBride really doesn't like Arlene with his barbed comment that she's performed much worse manys a time and I believe the feeling is mutual over his book.

This Tory party is high-risk. Mr Johnson has played fast and loose with democratic norms. His word is rarely his bond. His vow to "get Brexit done" offers a deceptive comfort to those craving an end to dither and delay. His withdrawal deal targets the hardest and most economically damaging Brexit: a "Canada-minus" trade deal, with commitments to regulatory alignment and security co-operation watered down. Creating a border in the Irish Sea risks weakening the cohesion of the UK. The trade negotiations with the EU will make the wrangling over the divorce deal look like a playground squabble. The idea a good deal for the UK can be done by December 2020 is fantastical.

Pretty weak imo

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/12/05/anti-semitism-dossier-15-incidents-claim-jeremy-corbyn-has-engaged/

Anti-Semitism dossier: The 15 incidents which claim Jeremy Corbyn has 'engaged' in anti-Semitic behaviour


Anna Mikhailova, deputy political editor
5 DECEMBER 2019 • 9:30PM
Follow
Jeremy Corbyn has been blamed for a "culture that is anti-Semitic" in the Labour party in a damning analysis of the scale of the problem.

The submission by the Jewish Labour Movement has said "signalling by the Leader that anti-Semitic views are acceptable" is a category of anti-Semitic conduct within the party.

Since Mr Corbyn became leader, "'the Labour party is cast in his image", it says, adding that the party's attitude to anti-Semitism is "inevitably influenced by signals from its leader."

James Lisbon, a partner at law firm Mishcon de Reya, said the submission identifies "evidence where it says that Mr Corbyn hasn't acted correctly... given cover to anti-Semites or provided support for people generally.

"That is the evidence that we cite that he is responsible for a culture that is anti-Semitic. That's the way that the report sets it out."

The dossier lists the following examples where it claims Mr Corbyn has "associated with, sympathised with and engaged in anti-Semitism":


1. Defended Stephen Sizer, who posted anti-Semitic material
Mr Corbyn defended Stephen Sizer, who was condemned by Jewish leaders in 2015 for posting a link to an article accusing Israel of being behind 9/11. Mr Corbyn said he wrote to the  Church of England two years before the post to defend the vicar's right to discuss Middle East political issues.

To do with Zionism

2. Wrote foreword to book which argued banks and the press controlled by Jews
He wrote the foreword praising a book which argued that banks and the press were controlled by Jews.  Prior to his election as leader, Mr Corbyn praised the book's "brilliant" analysis of "the pressures that were hard at work pushing for a vast national effort in grabbing new outposts of empire on distant islands and shores".

Detail not forthcoming

3. Supported Paul Eisen, a Holocaust denier
He was heavily criticised over his links to Paul Eisen, a prominent Holocaust denier, including attending several events hosted by a group led by Mr Eisen, Deir Yassin Remembered. The Labour leader has admitted attending events involving Mr Eisen's charity, but said that was before Mr Eisen went public with his "vile" anti-Semitic views.

Give it the benefit of the doubt

4. Defended mural that contained anti-Semitic tropes
In 2012 Mr Corbyn defended an anti-Semitic mural in Tower Hamlets, east London, which depicted "hook-nosed bankers" playing Monopoly on a board held up by the working classes. The submission notes that it took the Labour leader four days to apologise after his link to the mural was exposed. Mr Corbyn eventually admitted the mural was "deeply disturbing and anti-Semitic" , adding that he had not looked at the image closely enough when he first saw it.

weak

5. Attended event that compared Israel to the Nazis
He attended an event on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2010 entitled "Aushwitz to Gaza: Never Again for Anyone", in which Israel was compared to the Nazis. Mr Corbyn apologised after reports emerged about the event and said: "Views were expressed at the meeting which I do not accept or condone. In the past, in pursuit of justice for the Palestinian people and peace in Israel/Palestine, I have on occasion appeared on platforms with people whose views I completely reject. I apologise for the concerns and anxiety that this has caused."

Weak

6. Wreath-laying controversy
In 2014, while on a trip to Tunisia, Mr Corbyn was pictured when a wreath was laid at the graves of two members of Black September, the organisation behind the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes. In 2018, following heavy criticism, Mr Corbyn said he was "present but not involved" in the wreath-laying.

This is about Zionism

7. Said Zionists don't understand irony
In 2013 Mr Corbyn said "Zionists...don't understand English irony despite having lived in the country for a long time". Mr Corbyn then said he had used the term Zionist "in the accurate political sense and not as a euphemism for Jewish people" but added: : "I am now more careful with how I might use the term 'Zionist' because a once self-identifying political term has been increasingly hijacked by antisemites as code for Jews." However the submission says: "It is submitted that the sentence simply does not make sense if he was referring to people who support the right of the Jews to have a state of Israel. He was describing a group of people who share a cultural characteristics (an alleged lack of irony), rather than a group who share a political viewpoint (Zionism)."

This is about Zionism

8. Failure to call out cases
The submission argues that, in the context of the above cases, the Labour leader's "failure to call out anti-Semitic abuse is interpreted both by perpetrators and victims as undermining his general statements that he opposes anti-Semitism". This week Mr Corbyn said: "Obviously I'm very sorry for what has happened" after being asked to apologise for anti-Semitic incidents in Labour in an interview with ITV's This Morning. He previously four times declined to apologise during an interview with Andrew Neil on the BBC.

WTF


9. Handling  of cases
The submission alleges that the "signals" sent by Mr Corbyn with his actions "filtered" down to the party staff who were dealing with anti-Semitism complaints. It claims they faced "pressure" form the leader's office to "take a lenient approach to anti-Semitism" which stemmed from a "recognition" the Labour leader was "guilty of similar behaviour".

Very weak

10. International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition
Mr Corbyn initially resisted adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism. The reluctance sparked a long-running row about how to tackle alleged anti-Semitism within Labour. When it adopted the full definition, the party issued a statement saying a statement saying it "ensures this will not in any way undermine freedom of expression on Israel or the rights of Palestinians". Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP, said it represented "two steps forward and one step back" and accused Labour of "diluting" the adoption of the IHRA definition with the "unnecessary qualification".

this is about Zionism 

11. Defended Chris Williamson
This is about Zionism

12. Supported Ken Livingstone
This is about Zionism

13. Labour party 'cast in Corbyn's image'

Will the current health crisis and strikes make any difference to how people vote in NI? Will SF or the DUP take a hit?

This is typical of the campaign

Daily Telegraph editorial

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2019/12/05/jeremy-corbyn-anti-semite/
"The JLM's submission makes it abundantly clear that there is no equivalence between anti-Semitism in Labour and supposed Islamophobia among the Tories. The first is pervasive and institutionalised. The latter allegation is based upon a distortion of an article Boris Johnson wrote for this newspaper and a limited number of issues that could be found in any mass membership organisation – and while they should be taken seriously, there is no evidence that they are not being taken seriously by the Conservative Party."

Any rational person would see that there is a clear link between attacks on the labour party in relation to perceived anti Semitism and the moment that Jeremy Corbyn took power. The reality is that the billionaire media moguls and the Tory establishment are frightened of the thought of Corbyn getting into 10 Downing Street and began to embark on a relentless smear campaign against him as soon as he became Labour leader. The same media were slightly complacent before the last election and Labour's performance surprised a few people so they have ramped it up another level ahead of this election. Yet Labour's vote continues to hold up in the polls with a small increase in the most recent results.

There are plenty of people who still rely on newspapers to spoon feed them their news and set the agenda for them but equally social media has negated their influence somewhat in recent years and but for the fact that a lot more less powerful people are now able to get their opinion across, Corbyn would have been destroyed long ago.
