UK: Labour loses 7 MPs
Seven MPs leave Labour Party in protest at Jeremy Corbyn's leadership
Seven MPs have resigned from the Labour Party in protest at Jeremy Corbyn's approach to Brexit and anti-Semitism.
They are: Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Gavin Shuker and Ann Coffey.
Ms Berger said Labour had become institutionally anti-Semitic and she was "embarrassed and ashamed" to stay.
Mr Corbyn said he was "disappointed" the MPs had felt unable to continue working for the policies that "inspired millions" at the 2017 election.
The MPs are not launching a new political party - they will sit in Parliament as the Independent group.

Big changes coming to British political life as the British people have seen how elected representatives have ignored the will of the people and have tried to ruin Brexit. They have seen how MPs despise the people and follow their own agendas and not what they were elected to do. Lots of local elections coming up in March so the panic is starting to spread in Westminster.

BBC had some couple on who were shrieking about the antisemitism they experienced, they couldn't actually mention concrete examples and it turns out they're with some far-right Zionist group. You'd think the BBC would mention that, but no.
It's a concerted effort to turn Labour into yet another Likud mouthpiece and that's why they're leaving. The Tories are rife with bigotry and racism and yet the BBC is obsessed with Labour.
It's the same thing as you see here where the Republicans get away with the most repulsive behavior, but the Democrats get the most shit for anything and everything.

Excuse me, hon, but politicians had nothing to do with what Brexit actually meant once it actually happened. The right-wing fear-mongering is why Brexit went through. If anything, the mistake made was having the referendum in the first place because Cameron gave too much credit to complete idiots.
People who didn't understand what it even was, voted to LEAVE and now, the realization of what Brexit means is starting to set in. They're now doing this:

The UK labor Government allowed many Muslim migrants to enter Britain when they were in power. Muslims have large families whilst Jewish families are small. Labour focused on this and encouraged them to join the party. Many Muslims joined the Labour party and they now have a very large voice. Whilst the Jewish lobby has got smaller and smaller. Also, Labour supports Palestine and has a Pro Muslim agenda.

You see what R9 is allowed to type and then scream "antisemitism" in the same breath? That's how it works with Zionists. You're allowed to be as anti-Muslim as you like and they get to pretend that criticism of Israel is the same as the virulent bigotry coming from Zionists. Just replace Muslim with "Jew" in what R8 said and show me a Labour member allowed to get away with that language.

r9 is an excellent example of the bigoted scum pretending to care about racism in order to attack Corbyn and Labour; they're all Islamophobes and anti-Arabs using the rhetoric and pantomime of anti-antisemitism as a disguise for their hatred against the Brown nations of the Islamic world.
These people love Israel, not because it's a Jewish country, but because of what it makes Palestinians go through.

Labour doesn't hate Jews and polls have shown that Labour members are less antisemitic than the Tories (the preferred party of British Jews), to say nothing of UKIP.
British Jews are by and large right-wing voters and this situation has preceded Corbyn's election. They thus have a biased perception of Labour, especially Labour as it is now, under the leadership of an anti-war, pro-Palestinian activist.

As anyone who pays any attention knows, Muslim countries almost without exception have horrible human rights records. I've never understood though, why that should make it OK to support Zionism. Europe was responsible for the Holocaust, and Europe should have made amends, without allowing hundreds of thousands of people whose ancestors had lived there since Bible times to be cleared out to make room for a state founded by Zionists, a large proportion of whom were secular or outright atheist, and didn't actually believe in the Bible in the first place. Antisemitism is wrong, but it's not the same as anti-Zionism, and Israelis do themselves no favours by pretending otherwise.

In case it's not clear, the reason I mention that many of the founders of modern Israel were secular or atheist, is not because I think there's anything wrong with that at all, but only to point out their hypocrisy in using the Bible - which they did not believe in - to justify their claim to the "Promised Land."

As long as Corbyn's the leader, Labour'll not get into power. And don't give me that shite about how they very-nearly won in 2017 - the fact that the Tories were at their weakest, led by a fucking sentient mop and even then she's being stabbed repeatedly in the back - Corbyn still couldn't get into Downing Street. I'm of the firm opinion that he's nothing more than a stooge to help make Theresa May look palatable. The man's a political dinosaur. Kill him now.
And as for the anti-Jew crap that's been flying? Yeah, Corbyn's not exactly cracked the whip there to bring that under control, thus further damaging the Labour Party's image. I used to vote Labour. My part of the UK - Scotland - was once considered a whole swathe of Labour safe-seats. Not any more. Not until that scrotum-faced bastard is *gone*.

That's what you took from this? Seriously? You're not confused. You choose to be ignorant of the situation. They want to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. They want to pretend that Labour is screaming "throw Jews in ovens." They'll point to *a* tweet from someone who claims to support Labour and say "You see???" Meanwhile, the Tories do in fact harbor views that are bigoted and racist, but that doesn't concern them. They have a Muslim member who has been attacked specifically for being Muslim. Some woman in the House of Lords. Tory MPs have participated on bigoted FB pages. These people screaming about Labour being antisemitic want fealty to the far-right govt of Israel. Period. The woman mentioned above was the friggin Director of "Labor Friends of Israel" - which sounds like sunshine and rainbows, but is essentially a Netanyahu mouthpiece.
The fact is that the media has endlessly covered this as if it weren't a manufactured crisis just like they did with the Iraq war. At some point, maybe comprehend that the media is in the business of selling bullshit.
Exactly, R15. They want to pretend it's about some bullshit defense of "extremist Islamics." I mean really, just pipe down when you're that simplistic and spare me your hyperbolic horseshit. When you see who the loudest voices are on this one, you know what their agenda has always been.

Show me where someone wrote: "You are a typical Jew who can not debate or take any criticism of your people who have flooded the West and yet refuse to integrate with other races in the West." and I'll show you someone like you who did write that...just not with "Jew."
You're an arrogant, hypocritical selfish low-life who lacks empathy for others and you can't even see it. You engage in stereotypes of other people and you no doubt pull that shit where you say "Islam is not a race" yet your attacks resemble what a racist would say because you think some Pakistani extremist living in Bradford is the same as Lebanese doctor living in Newark
You're a racist and a bigot who is so far up your own ass that you project that hate onto people who haven't said a fucking thing that is anti-Jewish.

Just to clarify for people outside of the UK. The British people voted for Brexit in the largest turnout ever recorded. Our elected politicians then decided we were stupid and didn't know what we voted for and have launched a tirade of abuse on us daily and are now demanding a second vote as WE didn't know what we voted for!!! We did know what we voted for and that was to leave the EEC. What we are now demanding is respect for democracy and a dignified exit.

What's that? You didn't know about this?
This is what this impasse is all about. Northern Ireland overwhelmingly voted to Remain. The DUP - the racist troglodytes who run that shitty province - want to Leave. But the one thing both sides of the argument in Northern Ireland can agree on: there cannot be a hard border separating Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland again. What, did you think the past twenty years or so of peace happened purely because of the Good Friday Agreement? Bitch, please. But because of Theresa Fuckmuppet May and Jeremy "Paedo-Grandpa" Corbyn, this is all being fucked up in the air because neither - NEITHER - can bring themselves to admit that there are grave concerns regarding the actual validity of the Referendum.

I had R39 blocked but can see his reply via other posters. It seems he's the one who was repeating the same mistaken point in other Brexit threads.
He might be technically correct that the actual number of people who took part in the Brexit referendum was higher than in any previous vote - I haven't bothered checking, so I don't know. The simple fact is though, that the UK population today is over 63 million, whereas in 1971, for example, it was 56 million. More people voted in the Brexit Referendum SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE WHO COULD VOTE.
Where he's certainly wrong (and possibly being deliberately deceitful) is in his implication that this means UK citizens were more engaged in the Brexit Referendum than in any previous vote. Here's the relevant section of my reply to him from another thread:
"Some statistics:
Brexit referendum turnout - 72.21%
UK General election turnouts in the following years -
1992 - 77.7%
1987 - 75.3%
1983 - 72.7%
1979 - 76%
I could go on. Every UK General Election before 1979 back to the end of the Second War (I haven't checked any further) had turnouts higher than the Brexit Referendum, apart from the 1970 election at 72%.
But then, facts have never had very much to do with the whole Brexit process, have they?"

Derek Hatton's been readmitted to the Labour Party. Labour will *not* be electable until they come to their senses. The reason Labour got into power back in 97 was that they dropped the militancy that Corbyn and his wee chums like, people like Corbyn were sidelined and Labour realised that their policies had to be palatable for everyone. It wasn't enough that the Tories were stinking of sleaze (they'd had that stench since the mid eighties).
Repeat: Labour, under Corbyn, is unelectable. Adding in the multi-millionaire former deputy leader of Liverpool council - who himself was investigated for corruption in the 90s - makes it doubly-so.

Corbyn and Labour are the symptoms of ancient Brit anti-Jewish bigotry and hatred. Getting rid of Corbyn is not enough to "cure" Labour of its Jew hatred. Getting rid of every Labour member who voted for Corbyn as Leader TWICE is a good start to rehabilitating a Party that is no different to UKIP or the BNP.

R116 None of that means Labour as a whole is anti-semitic, Corbyn is a liability unfortunately for many reasons, his political baggage makes him too easy a target for smears, he's the Daily Mail Trotsky poster boy, . No British political party is inspiring confidence presently , but it is obvious this issue has been weaponized for political gain. Seeing as the Jewish Mililband brothers were fighting each other for the leadership prior to Corbyn with Ed getting the job this entrenched anti-semitism must have had a break for their benefit.

It's every single Labour Party member who is silent or worse - dismissive - in the face of years of on-going anti-Jewish bigotry and hatred spewed by Corbyn, Labour Party members and those who - like yourself - defend them.

Zionism is not racism. It is an anti-racist movement. After everything the goyim have done to the Jews, the Jews have earned the inalienable right of national sovereignty. Jews are the indigenous peoples of Israel. That is not an opinion, that is a documented fact. There were Jews on that land before that convicted felon Jesus or that racist pedophile Muhammad were even born. Anti-zionism is antisemitism, antisemitism is racism, and racism is a capital crime.

I'm Scots and agree completely with R179. We can't avoid thinking about it. One example - I feel I need to stockpile one drug I take every day because its made somewhere else in the EU, but it's for a fairly low-priority health condition and I don't believe I can rely on the government to make sure it's imported if Brexit goes badly.
Thankfully my job shouldn't be affected. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the UK though, and possibly millions, whose job security relies totally on uninterrupted access to the European Single Market and the Customs Union. If that goes, it'll affect all of us. It'll be way worse than the 2008 recession. An example of this - the UK agriculture minister, who is a supporter of Brexit, today warned the farming industry that they might not be able to export *any* food to the EU for six months after Brexit Day. That would mean many farms and agricultural business would go bankrupt and thousands upon thousands of jobs would be lost. And that's only one section of society.

R194 It's too early to say really. There are rumours there are more people from both sides wanting to join the seven but actually setting up a separate party takes time and paperwork and time isn't really something we have a lot of if the aim is to do anything about Brexit.
They could of course have put the wheels in motion of setting up their own party before actually leaving but that would have spoiled the surprise.
At present it would appear it's just a way for them to distance themselves from Corbyn without the threat of using their jobs (ie calling bye-elections) but it could be interesting if more people decide to join/support them. They'd need a lot of people to join them were they to wield considerable power in the Commons but with so much disillusionment with Corbyn and May it's an exciting possibility.
There's a huge anti-Brexit protest planned next month which could be big enough to force May's government in asking for an extension to the deadline but that's a long way off. Every day feels like a week at the moment. Everyone's had enough of it.

It's eight now - Joan Ryan just quit for the new party. Breaking news, so more details to become available as it happens. But she's resigned due to the anti-Jewish racism.

it might be the ambien saying this but maybe we should not just have 2nd refferendum on remaining, but also a refferendum on our electoral system, on learch to the right capalist sysyem where so many at the bottom have nothing and so so much wealth at the top and frane the argument for remain as a way to break this system because thats where the true anger lies. vote eu , get wealth tax , vote eu get a fairer democratic system that can handle future prices. vote eu prove ur an open country for those eho are willing to live by are rules and pay back to society. but this country to the test are we right or are we left??

Antisemitism never went away in Europe, it just became briefly unfashionable after the War.

I’m tired of this ‘ the people voted to leave ‘ crap. Some did and there was indeed a majority in favour of leave. Not a massive one but a majority nonetheless. But that is still not ‘ the people ‘. There are plenty of us who realised it would be a shitshow from the off, precisely because we were aware how fucking useless our political class, of either persuasion, is.
Did you really think they could negotiate a deal ? Do you really think anything good can come from crashing out without a deal ? Anyone who thinks that will not seriously damage business and the economy really has to have their head hidden way up their arse at this stage. But, undoubtedly, when the tsunami of shit hits the Blighty fan they will blame it on the EU rather than take responsibility for their own demented hubris. The EU owe us nothing. We are not special. It is our responsibility. We are doing this to ourselves.
We have punched above our weight because we were uniquely positioned. After we leave we no longer will be and anyone who believes the archaic crap fed them by old Etonians safely swaddled in a lifetime of privilege or the disingenuous man of the people claptrap hypocritically peddled by the likes of Farage and Banks deserves the misery to come. Sadly, you will have dragged the rest of us down with you.
Thanks.

The majority who voted to leave should be disenfranchised then r211? You have your valid concerns but that that doesn’t mean your vote is more important than theirs. There was a majority vote, that’s all that is required. In any democracy there will always be a losing side and that’s just something you will have to cope with.

I have R213 blocked but, as with an earlier contributor, I can see their comment via R214. R213, you're probably the same person I've already made this point to - you have no right to use the word "democracy" when two out of the four countries in the United Kingdom voted by large margins to stay in the EU. Whatever the UK is at the moment, it's not a democracy.
Why don't you just own up that all along, what you really wanted was a right-wing dictatorship run by elderly colonels and their blue-rinsed memsahibs?

Brexit has been the best thing to ever happen in the UK as it has shown the people in absolute clarity that Westminster does not believe in Democracy and that they despise the people and actually work against their wishes. There are big changes coming to the UK as the cat is out of the bag and party politics are in for big changes as the trust for politicians has gone for ever.

Well, Anna Soubry basically went for it on the news by simply implying that Theresa May's attitude towards Brexit - and namely, the Single Market - is motivated by racism. Not so much surgical, rather a sledgehammer. And I fucking love her for it.
Before our resident Right Wing Wanker Troll chimes in: Theresa May has a *history* of being vile towards non-Brits. *She* was the architect of the Hostile Environment policy at the Home Office - the net result of which was the catastrophe that's still unfolding re: Windrush. *She* constantly and consistently votes for or creates policies that are designed to make immigrants lives harder and tougher - and this isn't just people from places like India or Pakistan or Nigeria: this also extends to people from countries like Poland, Germany, Ireland.
In short - Theresa May is the crystallisation of the viewpoint that Brexit wasn't motivated by "exercising control" or "taking back control" - it was racism, pure and simple. The marketing from the Leave campaign was notoriously race-tinged. The rhetoric spewed by the right-wing papers was highly fucking racist. And Theresa May and her government are the pinnacle of that argument. She won't be happy until this country is isolated and broke on the world stage. History will *not* remember her fondly and that exact same goes for that cunt Corbyn.

R215 That's irrelevant, the referendum was held under the rules as they stood at the time, not rules retroactively changed because Nicola Sturgeon saw a glimmer of hope that she could try and push for independence again despite Scotland voting the year before to be a part of the system whose rules the referendum was held under.
And let's not mention that for all the guff about how there's a huge gulf between opinion in the nations of the UK, the reality is that there was only 16% between the results in England and Scotland, and 9% between England and Northern Ireland.

Don't be obtuse, R228. The result was more than a complete polar opposite. Scotland had a near 2/3 remain mandate. Stop pretending otherwise.

R229 And England had a wafer thin, barely-more-than-half.
The point I'm making is that Scottish nationalists have gained a lot of traction by claiming that a new independence referendum is necessary because the results highlight that there is a gulf between England and Scotland that is so great as to be insurmountable and therefore Scotland needs to be independent.
The reality is that the figures only show a variation of 16% between the two, which is well within the normal range of regional variation in a functioning, developed state.

Hey, idiot @r33, of course you can, and you actually do. It’s the very essence of democracy, and it’s why we have general elections in regular cycles of three, four, or in some cases every five years. The referendum, what’s more, was not binding, and it was/has been irresponsible of May and the dangerously ambiguous Corbyn to bring the entire country to its knees because she and the Brexiteers are pretending a 5248 split is the unequivocal “will of the people” and Corbyn keeps sitting on the fence waiting to profit from May’s collapse without committing clearly to leaving or staying. The only right choice is to either go for another referendum.

For those outside the UK, something our resident British nationalist fails to mention is that one of the promises made by the British side in the Scottish Independence Referendum, held in September 2014, was that voting to remain in the UK would safeguard Scotland's membership in the EU. This was heavily publicised in the months leading up to that Referendum, and persuaded many to vote against Independence (as opinion polls at the time showed). Yet less than two years later, Scotland was being dragged out of the EU, against its clearly expressed will, because a slim majority in England and Wales decided that was what they wanted.
The UK is NOT a democracy; it's a semi-dictatorship in which, whenever there is any important disagreement, the largest country in the Union always decides how the other countries will live. I am not anti-English. I just don't happen to believe that they're the best people to run Scotland, or that they have the best interests of Scotland at heart. The jaw-dropping incompetence of English politicians over the past couple of years proves that to anyone who is not blinded by British nationalism.
The Twitter link is from the pro-UK side in the Independence Referendum.

I'm a Scot and I found the No campaign's propaganda during the 2014 Referendum fucking hysterical. Yes, I'm a Yes supporter. Why? It's because it's been clear for the past sixty years or so that Westminster doesn't give one shit about anything north of Carlisle - especially during the Thatcher years. But the advertising the No campaign came up with was beyond parody. This one managed to be simultaneously patronising, sexist and fucking ignorant.

Corbyn's now saying that Shamima Begum has a lot of questions to answer but also needs "support" from the UK. It would be one thing if he said that the decision to revoke her citizenship was murky from a purely legal perspective, but saying that she needs support is going to alienate a lot of people.
