Being pictured with or associating with these people is not a good look. I can also understand why they wouldn't want any Labour party flags from its members.

Loki Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 What I imagine they want to avoid is Labour MPs or local politicians standing next to signs saying "From the river to the sea". It's taken a huge and often controversial effort to close the Labour Party antisemitism topic and it's exactly the sort of opening the Tories are desperate for.

Paid Members JNLister Posted October 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Reasons why people have lost their party whip in the current Parliament (largely but by no means entirely Tories) in chronological order: Antisemitism Assault Harassment COVID Breach Antisemitism Sexual Harassment Sexual Harassment Sexual Assault Paid advocacy (aka bribery) Sexual Harrassment Watched pornography in the chamber Groped two men Investigation into undisclosed matters Bullying Sexual misconduct Went on I’m A Celebrity Investigation into unspecified complaint Investigation into unspecified complaint to Met Police Spread vaccine misinformation Investigated for paid lobbying Antisemitism Sexual Harassment Complaint about conduct Argument with chief whip Note this doesn’t include Boris Johnson (misled parliament), Nadine Dorries (didn’t get peerage) or Nigel Adams (flounce) who all resigned with the party whip (as did several MPs who had legitimate reasons like taking another public office), or those who defected to another party. Also doesn't include whatever happens to Peter Bone. Edited October 17, 2023 by JNLister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 If groping two blokes doesn't class as sexual harassment or misconduct then what level did those who got accused of it stoop to? The in-laws love Pete Bone, never been sure why, always comes across as a right cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a case of it was widely known what Pincher has done, but the other cases where it just says sexual misconduct, specifics have not been mentioned.

Loki Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) The editing of that LBC immediately raises suspicions. If I go and find a longer clip will I find that Starmer has just been referring to Israel’s right to defend itself, hence “that right”? Edit: indeed he did And goes on to clarify his point immediately following the clip. The power of the edit on display here, cut cleverly and distribute on social media, and 99% of people won’t double check. Double edit: whilst I’m here, it’s disappointing that Israel’s barbaric strike on a church in Gaza got very little publicity in comparison to PIS’ misfire that hit the hospital. Hitting a church full of civilians is precisely the sort of potential war crime that should be making the headlines.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 21, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2023 Nah. I watched the full interview previously and Starmer was really cagey, and super careful not to condemn Israel's actions in any way. The spirit of his message was very much as it is being conveyed. The clip of him walking it back is very short though. Would be keen to see if there's more context to that, and also how he positions himself going forward.

We'll have to agree to disagree because that original small edit was clearly designed to suggest he was explicitly supporting a siege including withholding water etc, and he quite evidently (to me) wasn't. It feels like people are combing his every word looking for slip-ups. Agreed the walk-back clip is also short, I will go search out that longer one too.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) EDIT:- There's also been a number of councillor resignations over Starmer's stance. Some interesting letters and videos in the thread below this main tweet. Maybe Starmer should claim he was going to sling them out for being antisemites anyway just like he's done with certain other members and former members of his party.
