Labour MPs and peers demand Jeremy Corbyn remove the whip from Chris Williamson
Tom Watson leads a gang of the usual suspects from the PLP including Stella Creasy, Ruth Smeeth, Margaret Hodge, Stephen Kinnock, Wes Streeting, Peter Mandelson and others, together with names from other outside bodies, in yet another criticism by "Rent a Group" to attack the Labour party and its leadership. The thrust of the aggression this time is the continuing "row" over the readmission of Chris Williamson back into the Labour party following his suspension, for suggesting that Labour had been "too apologetic" over antisemitism. It is too much to hope that Watson and his Rent a Group followers could at least be honest in their motivations for persisting with the almost daily bullying and intimidation of party members and the leadership.The fact of the matter is that their constant barrage of criticism has little to do with antisemitism and everything to do with seeking a regime change within the Labour party and replacing Jeremy Corbyn as leader. In this respect, they will use any tactic which comes to hand. This week it is antisemitism, but next week it could be any other topic which suits their agenda.
The media of course is fully supportive of the Rent a Group objectives and will give blanket coverage to stories which undermine or smear Labour. The BBC news, the Metro, Guardian and Jewish Chronicle carry the story with lurid headlines about 100 Labour MP's (wrong number again but who is counting) and Peers "Demand that Corbyn remove from the Whip Chris Williamson.
We should not even listen to this rabble or be influenced by their bullying intimidation. They are not honest with the country in their arguments, and perhaps they are not even honest with themselves.
