Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Labour Party Conference schedules a debate on rule changes that are supposed to tackle antisemitism - on a Saturday.

https://order-order.com/2019/09/21/l...mitism-debate/

Thereby ensuring that no observant Jews can take part in the debate, as it’s the Sabbath.

When it's a single core issue, such as Brexit, it's a different matter. With Momentum/Labour it's just about the general tone of differences.

Why not on the Sunday. The conference as whole start on Saturday. If the start was shifted to Tuesday, that would clash with Friday.
Warm days and environments also blocked.

Quote from The Sun:
Hard-Left activists have mounted a bid to try to oust Jewish Labour MP Dame Louise Ellman - on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

She is the third female Jewish Labour MP to have faced a campaign to kick her out after daring to speak out against Jeremy Corbyn’s failure to tackle anti-Semitism.

Corbynistas in a branch in Dame Louise’s Liverpool Riversdale constituency are debating a no confidence motion in her next Tuesday.

This is on the evening of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

The motion slams the MP for daring to speak out against the Labour leader on anti-Jew hate.
Nasty party in full flow.

Strictly speaking the Sabbath is sunset Friday to sunset Saturday so if debate is on Saturday after the sun sets with enough time to travel as well.

That's why the Jews wanted to clear Jesus' crucifixion site on the Friday before the Sabbath started at sunset.

Meet the next Labour leader if the Labour membership and the betting markets are to be believed.

I suppose he would be better than, Thornberry or Long-Bailey, he’s undoubtedly intelligent but he looked stupid when trying to flog Labours Brexit policy ( although anyone would, and did)

Is he left wing enough for Momentum though?

l suspect if he gets elected leader he is most likely to take Labour away from the extremist politics of Corbyn and back to the centre ground.

Less than 1 in 10 Labour members are in Momentum. The majority of the public are in the centre, the sooner both the main parties realise that the better.

I think the Conservatives appealed to the middle-ground rump of previous Labour voters. The Conservative “main party” realised the need for offering that appeal.

PM’s Questions on Wednesday should be amusing.
