Agenda 2019

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/aug/30/frank-field-resigns-labour-whip-over-antisemitism-crisis Frank Field resigns Labour whip over antisemitism crisis The first of the "high profile" usual suspects to break cover and resign. He says he will sit as an independent rather than do the honourable thing, step down completely and stand as an independant (or even something else perhaps) in a bye election, and allow the electorate of Birkenhead make the decision. Field has for some time been looking for an excuse to resign from the PLP to cause the maximum embarrassment to the party leadership and the manufactured "antisemitism row" has provided such an opportunity. He will of course continue to receive his MP's salary together with any other perks on offer. This may have had some bearing on his decision not to force a bye election. Frank Field has always been on the far right of the Labour party and has been a critic of Jeremy Corb...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/aug/28/corbyns-comments-most-offensive-since-enoch-powell-says-ex-chief-rabbi Corbyn's comments most offensive since Enoch Powell, says ex-chief rabbi. Former chief rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks has called Jeremy Corbyn an anti semite. He states that the comments, made by Corbyn over 5 YEARS AGO (another resurrected smear) are the most offensive since Enoch Powell made the "rivers of blood" speech in 1968. It is ironic that comments made by Corbyn in meetings and at rallies and other places only now, after many years, become "offensive" to some people. Hodge, Berger, Gapes and others wait many years to vent their indignation and  venom. They clearly realised that there was no advantage in attacking a "back bench" MP since nobody really cared about the member for Islington North. However, now that the member has become the leader of the Labour party it serves their collective agenda to resurrect comme...

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1008833/labour-anti-semitism-jeremy-corbyn-labour-mps-labour-conference Labour anti-Semitism row EXPLODES as Jewish MPs offered BODYGUARDS at party conference The hysterical "antisemitism row" within the Labour party is descending into farce. This latest story reports that Jewish Labour MP's "could" be given bodyguards brought in to shield Jewish delegates at next months Party Conference. How much of this story comes from a few Labour MP's and how much is a figment of the imagination of some Express "journalist", this time Macer Hall, is open to speculation. However, a mischievous media will always grasp any opportunity to undermine Labour generally and Corbyn in particular. This pantomime, fuelled and encouraged by a hostile press, has only one objective, which is to remove the leadership of the Labour party. It is a campaign which will ultimately backfire but which will become even mor...

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. We went into ASDA the other day for the first time in a long time. Only needing a few small items, we very soon went to the check out. What surprised me was the number of "self serve" checkout tills. Certainly there were more than the last time we were in the store and quite a few people were going through them, but there were still queues at the tills where there was an operator. Now, I do not have a degree in rocket science and as I have had experience of the "self serve" previously, we went to the other check out and joined the queue. When we eventually reached the  point of paying I got into a conversation with the woman at the till and mentioned that there were more self serve machines than the last time we were in and that we are not great fans of this relatively new phenomenon. Neither was she apparently and nor are her colleagues in the store. Moreover she stated that ASDA were installing ...

Luciana Berger attacks Jeremy Corbyn Luciana Berger has posted a Tweet criticising Jeremy Corbyn of "making inexcusable comments" in a 2013 clip video, filmed at a London conference. A 5 year old clip now grasped by Berger to launch yet another "antisemitic" criticism at the Labour Leader. Presumably, Berger is choosing the 23rd August to post the tweet as we have heard nothing from Margaret Hodge for over a week, and Berger feels that it is time to poke another stick into the hole just to keep up the offensiv e. Naturally, the tweet has been seized upon by the Mail to continue their war against Labour in general and Corbyn in particular, and to add the usual embellishments, whether true or not to their "story" to appeal to their usual readers and to Sky News. The tweet has prompted the usual suspects to come out from the shadows again to support the MP for Liverpool Wavertree and spout the customary threat to resign. I for one am getting very ...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/24/world/middleeast/un-saudi-airstrike-yemen-children.html Saudi-led Airstrike Killed at Least 22 Yemeni Children The Saudi Arabian government seems to have implemented a new policy for their coalition forces involved in the Yemen civil war. Simply put, they seem to believe that if they kill enough Yemeni children, there will be no adults around to resist their brutally barbaric and inhuman regime and its aggressive intervention in other countries. This is the second attack on children in two weeks in a civil war which had already killed thousands of civilians in the Saudi led coalition  airstrikes over the past three years. The munitions used against these civilians is predominantly supplied by the United Kingdom and the United States as Saudi Arabia is a close ally in the war against terrorism. Hypocrisy in its most crass form. How long will it be before criticism of the Saudi Arabian government is silenced in the same way a...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-antisemitism-jeremy-corbyn-mike-gapes-quit-parlty-a8507886.htm Labour MP "agonising" over whether to leave the party. Will they, won't they? The wringing of hands and rolling of eyes pours out from yet another MP who is "agonising" over leaving the party. The constant almost daily indecisive dithering from the usual suspects as to whether they will or not leave, is of course food and drink to the media who will grasp at any and every opportunity to discredit and undermine the party and its leadership in their fear driven quest to prevent a Corbyn government. In this, those MP's "quavering" on the edge of resignation, are either by accident or more probably design, assisting the inept Tory government to remain in power and fueling the constant barrage from the media in their witch hunt against Labour. The honourable thing for these people to do is spare the rest...
