In reply to the discussion: With just one word, Labour MPs reveal utter contempt for Corbyn supporters [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)16. Jeremy Corbyn is not an antisemite.
If he was, he wouldn't have suspended at least 50 party members so far for antisemitism.
The irony is, these were the people who were being sanctimonious about how evil deselection is: What they're saying is, they're entitled to lifetime reselection and no accountability to their constituency parties at all, but anyone they disagree with is expendable.
And they want to make sure internal party democracy is never restored, so that Labour can never come to life as a party again. Labour is doomed if only the leadership gets to decide what the party stands for.
