Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

nigglynellie couldn't agree more. Did you read what Seamus Miln said about Lee Rigbys murder? " It wasn't terrorism in the normal sense because he was a member of the armed forces"
Apologies here for language, Gaudian columnist, Suzanne Moore called him c* central. And f*****g hate these public school lefties, bye bye labour.
Many senior figures in the Labour Party are very concerned about in influence he has over Corbyn.

They are going to destroy the Labour Party

Incidentally, on the subject of Seamus Milne he sent his children to the excellent Tiffin Boys/Girls grammar schools in my area which are heavily over subscribed as they rank among the best state schools in the country. Now it has been fully explained to us on this thread that Shammi's choice, or rather her ex husband's to send their son to a private prep and now a public school is perfectly ok as they aren't publically funded, I did however think that Labour have always had an issue with grammar schools.

Please don't think all Labour party members and Labour MP's hold the views of Corbynites and momentum ,. The home affairs select committee has said Corbyn has provided a safe place for anti semetics, Corbyn has declared this is an attack on the Labour Party, no it is not, it is the truth , but what angers me is the party is being branded because of this hypocritical leader .

Has the report been published? I have searched the website and can't find it, please could you post a link to it.

ab, speaking for myself I certainly don't think all Labour MPs or supporters are of the same ilk as JC and his followers. I sincerely wish that this state of affairs hadn't happened to this proud and respected party. It's awful for the party, dreadful for democracy, bewildering/frightening for the country and a gift for UKIP and the right wing of the Tory party. Complete bad news in every respect, and I am sorry and slightly alarmed for all of us.

Thanks Ana don't know why I couldn't find it.
Think this needs a new thread

No Anniebach people don't think all labour MPs and supporters are of this ilk.
The people I feel sorry for are those outside the M25 who think Corbyn, Chakrobati and Miln care about them, when in reality, they don't give a stuff,
Although I'm sure Chakrobati would find her way beyond the M25 if you wanted to sue the government.

Did you know that Seamus Miln is the son of Alisdair Miln, ex DG of the BBC. He was the first DG sacked by the BBC. While in that job he wanted to increase the TVs licence by 41%. After a talk with Thatcher, that didn't happen.

Did you read the bit in the report that says that there is anti-semitism in all parties?

The report itself makes it clear that all parties need to address the problem. I'd rather read that than some biased hysteria.

Did you read that Cameron didn't attend because he was just resigning and May didn't go either. They eventually sent Eric Pickles and he didn't know anything about one of the cases they wanted to ask about-shows a lot of respect for the select committee don't you think?

Yes there is in all parties but the leader of the Labour Party held his own enquiry which declared there was no anti semitism and then toddled off to the Lords followed by joining his shadow cabinet .

I disagreed with some on this forum because I really didn't believe there was anti semitism in the party, and disagreed strongly , this was in the early days of Corbyn so before the attack on Ruth Smee, Shami's enquiry and the vice chair of Momentum saying didn't know the definition of anti semitism , she is still in momentum

Sorry I disagreed so strongly , you were right and I was wrong

Shami refused to answer questions put to her by the select committee , there is no defence any Labour Party member can in honesty put forward to defend the findings of the committee . To say it's in other parties does not make it right for my party to be racist, we have a long history of fighting racism

Sadly it is in all party's and should be stamped on very firmly. I think because the Labour party was founded on the principle of championing the underprivileged, the minorities, and the persecuted, it makes it more unbelievable/and deeply worrying that anti semitism should exist in a party that actively and vehemently denounces such practises.
ab, once again you have demonstrated what a strong person you are to admit that you were mislead. I may well find myself in that position ref: Mrs May! I hope not, but hopefully I too will be prepared to admit it!!

What rather surprised me was this re the Lib Dems:

The Liberal Democrats in particular should pay heed to the need to act swiftly and decisively to deal with antisemitism within their ranks. We were disappointed by the manner in which their Leader, Tim Farron, referred to disciplinary processes rather than explicitly condemning antisemitic remarks made by members of his Party, and we were surprised to learn that Cllr David Ward remains an elected representative of the Liberal Democrats, despite his repeated antisemitic comments.

Mr Corbyn hit back at the committee's findings and said the report's "political framing and disproportionate emphasis on Labour" risked undermining it
Former London mayor Ken Livingstone, who was suspended from Labour over anti-Semitism, said the committee was "rigged" against Mr Corbyn.
He told BBC London: "The membership was either all solidly Tory - who weren't friends of Jeremy - [or] filled with [Labour] people who would actually go on, a few weeks later, to vote for no confidence in Jeremy."
Conservative MP Tim Loughton, who is acting chairman of the committee, said he resented the "attack on the integrity" of the MPs, who he said had "gone out of [their] way to be non-partisan".

Priceless remark by KL!

This is an All-Party committee.

Pity the leaders of All Parties didn't attend then.

KL would say that , stupid man

Niggly, thank you. I was told from a young age - not to fear speaking out against what you believe is wrong but never fear to speak out if you find you are in the wrong . This followed two school cannings , one for sliding on the school roof and one for not owning up to sliding on the school roof

Trisher, you are more concerned with other parties than the party you support , what point turning up but not answering all questions ?

Well that applies to Eric Pickles as well. So counter your not answering all questions with not turning up and not answering all questions as well. It shows respect to turn up, it shows honesty to answer all questions. You might ask why Cameron and May chose not to turn up.

They didn't turn up, they were wrong, but dismissing your party is wrong by critcising other parties is so wrong in my opinion.

So the Labour party has racists , shall we say no matter so has other parties?

Ken Livingston is not a stupid man he was a highly successful and popular Mayor of London. He is also very honest, admitting that to speak about Hitler as he did on Vanessa Feltz programme was a mistake. Just because you disagree with him is no reason to question his abilities. I dislike Tony Blair and what he did, I regard him as a warmonger and an opportunist, but I would never call him stupid.
