On the contrary, he had the most intense convictions.ydoethur said:
One reason SeanT was always such an entertaining poster was like Johnson and Corbyn he had no convictions whatsoever. He always said whatever made sense at the time.Richard_Tyndall said:

If we see a continued trend in Labour Leavers going back to Labour, Johnson is in deep trouble. His electoral strategy is in tatters if he has another May and picks up barely any seats.0

It is hopefully just bad luck that the first poll in a while to show any movement at all (still MOE) towards Labour was also the one showing them to best effect to begin with. The panic just that everyone is ready and waiting for 2017 to repeat.Big_G_NorthWales said:0 -

Produce some positive policies relevant to individual lives after Brexit. 4 years doing nothing is a long, boring time.

I don’t think this will have much impact. Corbyn’s long standing issues on Judaism are well known. It’s one reason why he struggles to be popular or respected. Anyone who is choosing to support him does so in the full knowledge of what he is and are not going to be swayed by a Jew protesting about it.
In itself that is an indictment of our politics, but we are where we are sadly.0 -

The point Luciana Berger was chased out the party was the point when Labour moderates should have taken a stand. Instead they put their careers first rather than having any solidarity with British Jews. Many used Tom Watson's plea to stay as cover for taking action.

Leading Jew criticises leading anti-Semite is not exactly one of the great scoops, is it?
It's become a non-story to the vast majority. Again, I'm not saying that should be the case but it's tedious.
In fact, if anything it's throwing fuel onto the fire. Jewsish people do NOT want to appear to be 'special.' That's just what has landed them in trouble before.
Racism is around in many guises, including Islamophobia and anti-immigration. Anti-semitism is awful but so are all forms of racism. The 'Jewish community' would be much better advised to talk about the whole issue.0 -

Labour canvasser attacked and left with cracked ribs
A Labour activist, believed to be in her 70s, was attacked by a stranger calling her and fellow canvassers "Marxists" and telling them to leave Herefordshire.
The woman was treated for suspected cracked ribs after the assault, which came as campaigners were delivering leaflets.
"There is no place in politics or our society for such violence," says a Labour spokesman.
It is the second alleged attack on a Labour canvasser today. A man was arrested for grievous bodily harm after a 72-year-old campaigner was taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw in South Yorkshire.0 -
