Labour should adopt IHRA's definition of semitism says Gordon Brown.
The Jewish Labour Movement held a 1 day conference on Sunday (2nd September). Conferences for this organisation are not usually reported in the media or on television, but yesterday's conference was an unique exception. From morning to evening there were blanket coverage reports on Sky News and BBC News, with numerous people giving interviews, and today's Front Pages carry long reports of speeches made by others during the day.
You might wonder why a conference only usually reported in the Jewish Chronicle suddenly attracts the attention of all this country's media and television News programmes.
A spokesperson from Progress, (the pressure group within the Labour Party), was the first to appear before the camera's giving his comments about how the Labour party was wrong in not tackling antisemitism and how a Jewish friend of his was hit at a Labour party meeting last year. The parade of "Labour" people were paraded before the greedy media at regular intervals throughout the day, with Gordon Brown perambulating around the stage spouting the usual nonsense which he always spouts adding his weight to the growing number of "senior" Labour voices criticising Corbyn and the leadership. Later Margaret Hodge,added her voice to the criticism with her widely reported comment "Corbyn has got a problem to deal with, and the problem is he is the problem.”
As I have stated previously, the criticism from MP's stems from those who are deemed to be from a particular section of the PLP and who do not represent the vast majority of the party membership.The growing hysteria in the media, fuelled by contributions from Hodge, Sacks, Balls, Brown, Field, Berger and the rest may well abate following Tuesday's meeting of the Labour party National Executive Committee. However, history shows us that no matter what concessions are made to appease the baying hordes, they will always return for more until their real objectives are met. As Hodge revealed during her interview, Jeremy Corbyn is the problem and he must be removed.
