re: #9 Decatur Deb

Out of reach of a Labour/Others coalition?

Yes, unfortunately: still forecasting a majority: just not quite as vast as the initial polling suggested.

And while we’re on the subject: can anyone give me (or point me to) a brief recap of why Labour seems to have got itself saddled with this “antisemitism” rep? It keeps popping up in most of the (usually-all-too-facile) analyses: The NYT did one of its Cletus-safari thumbsuckers in last weekend’s mag about Britain: and one of the interviewees was a well-regarded woman rabbi (obviously Reform!) who swore she’d never vote Labour again, and made it sound as if Nuremberg Laws (if not outright pogroms) were a fundamental part of the Labour “manifesto”. Is it just the usual Israel/Palestine stuff, or was there some other triggering issue??
