Surprised she's lasted this long.
From the Mirror article:
"During the leadership race she said she would be a "continuity socialist" and continue many of the left-wing policies of Jeremy Corbyn."

I never cared for her ( lips too skinny haha) that aside she’s power hungry and it’ll be sour grapes she feels toward KS for winning the leadership

[Peter Pedant]

o I was going to start a thread
Jeremy Corbin shoots labour party in the foot again

Long Bailey being a creature of Corbyn
whatever she said - the Starm didnt like it

[drmorgans]

Why is "lips too skinny" relevant to her being a politician? Would you have made the same comment about a man? I would have sacked (or not appointed) her for being a humourless ideologue.

[Bobbisox1]

Drmorgan yes I would and would hope he’d have a sense of humour as well!

[jackthehat]

The comments made by Maxine Peake, rather than being Anti-Semitic (anti-Jewish) are Anti-Israeli (which didn't used to be the same thing).

Both MP and RLB are on the hard-left of Politics and there is much more in the article than a throwaway-line about where the Police learned their tactics.

Other Labour party members have said far worse and emerged unscathed, I can only assume that SKS leapt at the first proper opportunity to flex his credentials.......and remove his former competitor.

[highbury57]

A Labour Party leader with a conscience. Whatever next!

[Theland]

SKS did the right thing.
We need to support the only true democracy in the Middle East.
The Left are too supportive of Palestinian terrorists, and their support for these should always be called out.

[Theland]

Jack, the unscathed got away with it under Corbyn.

[ToraToraTora]

more anti semitism, ingrained in Labour I'm afraid. Steer Calmer has his work cut out.

[jim360]

Sharing an article without properly reading it is, in the grand scheme of things, not that heinous -- but at least it's a sign of the zero-tolerance policy that's needed.

[naomi24]

He’ll soon have Momentum on his tail... and all will be back to normal.

[jim360]

I do hope not. We need a strong opposition.

[DTCwordfan]

It couldn't happen to a finer woman.

Any Big Bang Theory fans out there? Wrong-Daily reminds me of Bernadette Rostenkowski(-Wolowitz)

Shadow cabinet member misbehaves: SKS takes action.

Cabinet member (or maybe special advisor) misbehaves: Bojo takes no action whatsoever.

Strong leadership vs no leadership.
