AIBU to be glad that Jeremy Corbyn won his seat?...

[Beeinalily]

...even though I'm not remotely left wing? I think he was treated appallingly by the Labour Party.

He supports Palestine and always has.
He stands up to the mud slinging dished out by extremists.

Glad he won!

YANBU, I enjoyed seeing it happen.

YABU.

Corbyn is a self-serving, vain man. He isn’t interested in winning hearts and minds, he only speaks to people he agrees with on topics of interest to him. Labour got rid of him because he’s an anti-Semite.

He’s also partially responsible for Brexit.

We should all care about antisemitism.

you don’t have to be Jewish to not want someone who calls an Islamist terror group his ‘friends’ and was found (by an independent review) to be at the heart of a party plagued by division and discrimination.

First they came for the [insert here] etc etc.

Anyone who voted for JC suggests to me they’re happy to turn a blind eye to his anti semitism and I think that makes them complicit.

By ‘extremists’ do you mean ‘people who do not tolerate racism and hatred’ ?

This ☝️

I know it's comparing apples with oranges to an extent but in terms of votes Labour got fewer this time than under Corbyn. Seems like Tories lost votes rather than Labour winning, and last time some of the brexit bunch stood down to avoid splitting the vote.

There was never much wrong about him tbh. And he's a great constituency MP. He was fucked over by the Media for the most part and he never recovered.

This, 100%

he really wasn’t cut out for leadership, and he’s antisemitic. It took me a while to realise that he really was, as I didn’t want to believe it. I hope his constituents have voted for him because he’s a good constituency MP. I must say I think it shows a lot of brass neck to stand against your own party, and I don’t agree that he was treated badly by Labour or Starmer, but he has been elected fair and square, as he was for the Labour leadership position.

How do you come to that conclusion? He got more votes in both elections than Starmer just got.

No that's incorrect. He is quite fond of Putin, hamas and Iran. Other other than that though you are correct.

BUT HE DIDN’T WIN.
Whether you get 10% or 100% of the votes, it doesn’t matter. He never campaigned nor fought in a way that meant Labour had a chance of getting enough seats to take parliament. Number of votes means very little in the UK voting system.

Anyway, with bit of luck he’s entering his Biden era and this is the very last time Magic Grandpa gets the gong.

YABU, he's a tankie and an anti-Semite.

I think you are missing our the massive election loss of 2019 when he was leader.

My thoughts exactly.

I was initially excited when Corbyn won the leadership but ultimately came to the conclusion that the anti-semitism claims were valid.

The book foreword, the “no sense of English irony” comment, defending that mural…

Explanations are always offered but if I wouldn’t accept it from Trump, Farage or whoever, then I’m not going to accept it from the leader of my preferred party either.

He is an antisemite. That is racism.

Can someone just tell us exactly what he has done or said that has him labelled as anti- Semitic?

As far as I can see from that document it's still not bloody clear exactly how JC is anti semitic? Except maybe it needs to polish up its complaints procedures!

It was hard to miss. But my point is that Starmer has not won this election. Labour only won because the Tory vote was split with Reform.

YANBU. It was the highlight of the election for me.

No other MP continues to fight for social justice when they lose an election, he genuinely cares.

The anti semitism accusations are tired lies now and it’s sad to see people still believing this.

He’s calling for a Gaze ceasefire while Starmer continues to support it.

That’s because he wasn’t anti semitic as people claim. It was a distraction tactic during his campaign.

I'm pleased for his constituents. He does that job incredibly well.

yabu.
