I’m bored of the attitude that we should vote tactically as opposed to for who we believe in.

Shit I have two days to vote and I still haven't decided who I'm voting for apart from jeremy corbin

 This confirms my suspicion that the Private Eye is the only publication worth reading in Britain.

You report that the Jewish Chronicle claims to speak for the vast majority of British Jews in opposing Jeremy Corbyn’s election as Labour leader (Jewish Chronicle accuses Corbyn of associating with Holocaust deniers, 13 August). The JC certainly doesn’t represent progressive British Jewry. Corbyn has an outstanding record of opposing racism, including antisemitism in all its forms. He was particularly prominent in the campaign against apartheid in South Africa. He has consistently supported oppressed peoples such as the Kurds and the Palestinians. The allegation that Corbyn supports or associates with Holocaust deniers is malicious and unfounded. It is based on an article in the Daily Mail, which was dependent on the word of a self-confessed Holocaust denier, Paul Eisen. The JC reports him as saying that Corbyn donated to Deir Yassin Remembered. So did many people, before DYR was taken over by antisemites and Holocaust deniers. The JC’s efforts to paint Corbyn as a closet antisemite can only help legitimise those who are antisemitic.

A letter from several British Jews regarding Corbyn and antisemitism. Despite how terrible the Guardian has been covering this campaign, it’s quite good from them to allow the contradictory. Also worth noting the position of Naomi Wayne from Jews for Justice for Palestinians.

This woman is one of the stupidest reporters ever and should be sacked. Apparently this isn’t the first interview where she’s been needlessly rude either. However, I reckon I’d vote for Dawn Butler, she answers questions, she’s articulate, she’s honest, and she’s right.
