John McDonnell has said Labour must focus on defeating Theresa May’s EU deal and delaying Brexit to secure a better agreement, rather than trying to secure a second referendum this week.

Seeing that a second referendum isn't even an option, why is Labour voting for a hard Brexit?

If Brexit cannot be undone, move on.

Opposition ONLY won´t help. Much more importantly .. Labour needs a plan, a roadmap, a concept for their idea of Brexit.

I think the Tories will take care of that themselves.

Listen to Jewish voices not the Labour people who doubt them | John HarrisThe left used to instinctively side with the victims of bigotry. So what happened? Are we allowed to listen to the jewish voices who back Labour? Dragging the arse out of the smear stories. Fortunately only 20 odd likes after nearly an hour shows that this shite is running out of steam. And the Jewish voices accused of AS and being 'self hating'? Do not they have voices of worth and value? Or are they inconvenient. The 'wrong kind'? Proper standards of due process in line with the CPS process & the rule of law need to be respected rather than pander to mob rule

The unanswered question: why do antisemites think Labour is the party for them? | John HarrisThe left used to instinctively side with the victims of bigotry. So what happened, asks Guardian columnist John Harris With such one sided media support no wonder how one can “get away with murder” “ land grab” and colonization of someone elses land in 2019. I listen to Jewish Labour supporters, not apartheid enablers. The once respected British press has prostituted itself to plutocrats and oligarchs. Pretending that anti-Likud is same as antisemite, and that Tories have none, or at least “fewer” than Labour as a ruse to deflect from Genocidal / Apartheid ethnocentric state, betrays you.
