The tactic of the wretched. Widen out the blame for negatives as much as possible while deifying individuals.

mrmarksteel I’m genuinely shocked at the tone of this piece, in the headline you seen to blame activists and the PM for the ‘row’ - a row? Really, is that all it is The article is a piece of trash from start to finish and the should be ashamed of themselves.

Is there a reporter's round table : What can be done to keep trade balances at ZERO and each country printing its own sovereign currency? Someone better do it ASAP while there is still democratic time remaining

Official stats published by the General Secretary of the Party, Jennie Formby confirm that over the last 10 months complaints received led to 453 cases being investigated for antisemitism. This represents 1/12th of 1% of the membership. There is no wave of antisemitism in Labour.

Opinion: The defectors were wrong to resign – but that doesn't mean Labour is free of problemsI have been a Labour Party member for nearly 60 years and I have no intention of moving on anywhere else. I do, however, want to see the party shifting its focus to getting back into power Labour may not be free of problems, but that doesnt mean the Tories haven't totally screwed up Brexit, the economy and pretty much everything they have touched. Luckily there are no racists in the Conservative party. Honest. Marks and Spencer deriders The issue is that despite a clear, open goal Labour have been incapable of securing a lead in the polls. Put simply (as somebody did on LBC the other day when Emily Thornberry was hosting), your job is to OPPOSE. Some BS notion of 'jobs-first Brexit' is a pipe dream

Labour backing the People's Vote is a victory, but the battle is far from overIt's taken hard work to get the country and the Labour party to this point, and it’s hard work that will get us further. Just for votes How is betraying the British people and your own Labour voters a victory? It is a betrayal. And Labour have just lost 4 million voters in the north. A victory for over turning a democratic vote? You can list reasons to thwart the vote until your blue in the face but, every one should be concerned when a goverment desides they know best. You then have despotism and that hasn't worked out so well for freedom in any country.
