I was in love with an Israeli girl called Hila, fave writers are Proust, Kafka & Philip Roth, one of my fave songs is Streisand singing Ainu Malkeinu, but if I was in the Labour party now & criticised Israeli policy towards Palestinians I'd be called antisemitic & that's worrying
I may be clutching at straws here, but to expel Derek Hatton 24 hours after he rejoined Labour over 7 year old tweet where he was criticising israel, suggests to me they were looking for an excuse!
A particularly tragic thing about the shit-explosion that is Brexit is that all the sides in the argument - Rees-Mogg, May, Chuka, Anna Soubry, Corbyn, Kate Hoey, Farage, Boris, even the bloody DUP - all think they are saving the nation. But they can't all be right.
@NewJournal Keir Starmer or anyone who wants to lead #LabourParty in future needs to practice what he preaches & have the guts that Jeremy Corbyn so lacks & forget the will of the people bollocks, be far sighted instead & face up to shambolic Tory gov over #Brexshit
