THERE is nothing more grating than having unelected, insular, wealthy Establishment “Labour” figures doing everything in their power, including throwing money at an anti-Corbyn newspaper to host an anti-Corbyn advertisement, to destroy our chances of winning a general election.
There are people literally dying because of this vile government, be it through suicide, homelessness and a lack of adequate healthcare, and these Labour peers decide now, potentially months away from a general election, is the time to launch an unprecedented attack on the leader of her majesty's opposition.
Their self-indulgence is both sickening and eye-watering. If I thought one tenth of them actually believed Jeremy Corbyn was an ominous threat to Jewish people I’d have total sympathy with them, but I am convinced that’s not what they believe.
