Corbynism - The Post mortem 08:11 - Jan 20 with 2622 views | itfcjoe | New podcast, first episode is about the anti-semitism. A really interesting listen and gives a lot of background to both him and the situation - guests are Jonathan Friedland, someone from Jewish Labour Movement and another bloke. Hopefully the rest of the series will be as good as the first episode https://audioboom.com/channels/5016299 | |

They come to the conclusion that Corbynism doesn't even really mean anything as so hard to define what he actually stands for | |

It was a media label attached to Labour to make them look extreme, it's no wonder they couldn't find deeper ideology behind it. All Labour under Corbyn were offering was a fairly common and relatively moderate form of social democracy. When people were asked about the policies in isolation they generally liked them, but Corbyn and Brexit were both hugely problematic for Labour at the GE. [Post edited 20 Jan 2020 8:51]

Corbynism - The Post mortem on 08:47 - Jan 20 with 2115 views | GlasgowBlue | Adam Langleben “ A senior member of staff in Jeremy Corbyn’s office admitted to me that they thought that Jeremy Corbyn was an antisemite but they were going to try and manage it. This member of staff still works there” Just over a month ago you were prepared to put this bloke into number ten Joe. And before anyone says “yeah but Boris”. I didn’t vote to put Johnson in number ten. I concluded that neither he is Corbyn were fit for office. [Post edited 20 Jan 2020 8:54]

Corbynism - The Post mortem on 08:50 - Jan 20 with 2104 views | Darth_Koont | "Jan 17, 7:00 PM Corbynism: The Post-Mortem is a limited podcast series exploring Jeremy Corbyn's tenure of the Labour Party, hosted by Oz Katerji. Focusing on Labour's institutional antisemitism crisis, the first episode features former Labour councillor Adam Langleben, Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland and human rights barrister Adam Wagner." It'll be interesting to hear that but you'd be hard-pressed to come up with 4 more vocal critics of Corbyn and Labour on AS. At least they're not as loony as GnasherJew, Stephen Pollard et al but hardly a balanced debate by the looks of it. | |

I voted for the Labour Party, not Corbyn. I'm at ease with my choice, and still think Labour are the party for good and am hoping that they find a better leader. | |

People liked some of Labours policies, but those policies got completely buried in the manifesto behind tw*ttery such as free broadband and nationalising the railways. Research from both before and after the election showed that the public didn’t believe Labour could deliver on it - which nullified that support for a majority of the electorate and rendered any attacks on the Tories far-fetched promises moot https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/12/23/their-own-words It’s not scientific and obviously a small sample size, but for anyone ‘normal’ I know (eg. No real interest in politics but go and vote in a general election), any comment about Labour policies generally seeing them as a joke (eg. ‘Guess we’re not getting our free broadband then!’ following the election) Obviously Corbyn and Brexit were the key issues, but that doesn’t mean the manifesto was otherwise a success | |

They threw way too much at the manifesto, I agree. It was a 30+ year programme of progressive government shoe-horned into one document. That said, even if they'd reined it in a bit the issues of Brexit and Corbyn would have still lost them the election. | |

Oh definitely, you only need to listen to the accounts of those campaigning to know they were the 2 biggest issues However there does seem to be an attempt to drive a narrative that the manifesto and policies were absolutely on point, which I think is at best unhelpful and worst wilfully burying heads in the sand | |

I think it'd be fair to say the thrust of the policies was relatively popular, there seems to be an appetite for a more socially democratic approach (particularly when policies were separated out from the leader and party) . The specific policies and more so what they represented as a bundle were more problematic as they lacked credibility, being far too 'ambitious' for one term of government. Combine worries about how credible the manifesto was with existing concerns about Corbyn's credibility and you end up with a credibility crisis, not helped by a barely credible position on Brexit. | |

Interesting piece, I think the bit about the 'out-riders' at the end is key - they need to use their MP base, not those who say and do what is required to stay in the favour of the Leaders Office | |

Yes that’s what I meant, although I do also think there is a bit of a difference between people being presented with a policy and liking it, and policies that people actually want and care about given a blank list [Post edited 20 Jan 2020 14:21]

And John Bercow, who is Jewish, said that after decades of knowing Corbyn, he was certain Corbyn WASN'T in any way antisemitic. I was accused of cherrypicking when I posted this, because it's only one person's account. | |

So you admit they're just opinions. That's a start. My problem is that they're all the same opinion from people who have been gunning for Corbyn from the start. I'd liked them to have got someone on like Antony Lerman who offers an alternative view and has been researching and writing about antisemitism and the political agendas involved for decades. Not just since 2015. And who are these people who have "lifted the lid"? | |

I would like to be the first to offer my resignation by BrixtonBlue 12 Dec 2019 23:21from political posting.
I clearly have different views to the majority in this country. But such a crushing defeat is more than that. I'm clearly totally out of touch.
Tonight feels like one of those games where you were looking forward to a Town match all week, a big one perhaps, and then you're 2-0 down in the first 5 minutes. The reason I left you in peace rather then reciprocate your willy waving in my direction on the morning after the 2017 general election was because you bowed out gracefully. And for some misguided reason I fully expected you to keep your word for longer then just a few weeks. But if you want to do the dance again then I'm more than happy to give you 100 Jewish anti Corbyn opinions for every on Jewish pro Corbyn opinion you care to put up as your example of tokenism.

Do you think that the 4 Jewish people featured in the podcast accuse Corbyn of unleashing and enabling a gallus form of antisemitism which had previously lurked in the shadows because they hate Corbyn? Or do you think the 4 Jewish people featured in the podcast hate Corbyn because heunleashed and enabled a gallus form of antisemitism which had previously lurked in the shadows? | |
