I WAS invited to London Young Labour’s Summer 2018 event to present my union’s position against the EU and in favour of Brexit.
I even cancelled a solidarity visit to a picket line in Wigan to do so, so enthused was I by the new spirit in the Labour Party and a new audience prepared to open up debate and allow dissenting views on the neoliberal consensus that has dominated politics for so long.
The night before the event I was smeared as an anti-semite for the crimes of stating my belief that Jeremy Corbyn is not anti-semitic and saying that some of the claims being made were cynically using the despicable crime of anti-semitism to undermine the socialist leadership of the Labour Party.
