Labour the undead

Sky News has just reported that Labour is to back a second referendum on the EU:

Jeremy Corbyn will tell a meeting of Labour MPs that the party will support or put forward an amendment in favour of a public vote to "prevent a damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country".

"The prime minister is recklessly running down the clock, in an attempt to force MPs to choose between her botched deal and a disastrous no-deal," he is due to tell them.

The man who spent years campaigning against the capitalist club of Europe has been forced by the recent split in his party and the pressure of all the young political things that flocked to Magic Grandpa (as Julie Birchell calls him) to take a pro-European line

At the same time the leader of his Momentum flock Jon Lansman is reportedly trying to deal with the anti-Semitism that is so widepread amongst Corbyn's suppporters. The Evening Standard reports: 

Jon Lansman, the founder of Left-wing group Momentum who sits on Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee, said the party had a “major problem” with anti-Semitism with the “poison” spreading on social media.

He also told of his feeling of “enormous regret, sadness and some shame” over Labour members such as Luciana Berger MP leaving the party.

Mr Lansman, who is himself Jewish, spoke out amid reports that more MPs are poised to quit Labour over the failure to tackle anti-Semitism within its ranks....

Large numbers of Jewish members have abandoned Labour since Corbyn came to power and the scale of abuse led by the far left in Liverpool was exposed by The Jewish Chronicle

The hard-left plot to oust Jewish Labour MP Dame Louise Ellman from the Liverpool Riverside constituency is being spearheaded by a former member of the Trotskyist Militant Tendency group who has repeatedly denied allegations of antisemitism in Jeremy Corbyn’s Party.

The report also contains a copy of the unpublished report into the bullying and racism from the far left.

Members and MP's should not be taken in by these unprincipled manoeuvres by Corbyn and l

Lansman. These two men are responsible for what has happened to the Labour Party. Corbyn and Lansman have worked together for some 30 years. Even now they both refuse to accept that Labour has become institutionally anti-Semitic.

Anti-Semitism is racism. Anti-Zionism has become Anti-Semitism. Not that Corbyn cares. Lansman probably does since he's Jewish and guess what? Lansman's enemies on the left are already fingering him as a Zionist. The shame.

Labour cannot be reformed. 

The message must go out: support a new party the old one is undead .
