1. Time for another thread (stop yawning at the back). The latest accusations of what is being described variously as Corbyn being a "f***ing antisemite and a racist!" and "institutional racism" in Labour stem from the fact that Labour have not adopted an IHRA document verbatim.
I am a Jew
I support Corbyn
I am sick of being told I am “not a proper Jew” by other Jews and by non-Jews
Today a deceased Holocaust survivor is branded antisemitic for pointing out the evils that Israel has dealt to Palestinians
“Wrong kind of Holocaust survivor”

@wjsullivanii You should go work for Theresa May. Spinning a problem caused by Austerity Politics into a critique of National Insurance would be right up her alley.
@theresa_may I've found your new press secretary for when James Slack resigns on you.
@wjsullivanii We have a Conservative Government which is deliberately defunding our NHS in the name of austerity, and which ironically has a voter base of elderly people.
The NHS crisis is due to small-minded, small-government austerity drives and has nothing to do with the bureaucracy...
This is really just disgusting. That an elected MEP would tweet something like this (and think it was fine) really shows how far we have to go to get misogyny out of our culture.
@samuel_pollen @MitchBenn Hate to break to you Julia, but it’s possible to be both clever *and* privileged. Excellent @SusieSJR says it better than me here: https://t.co/9k2RGGEstI
