The MP of the anti-Semite drama. Confused

What do we know about her opinion on TWAW?

She was against Sarah Champion over Rotherham. SadAngry

Why would you deem her suitable for the post?Confused

She is the one who re-tweeted Ms Shah shared and liked the post by a parody account of Owen Jones.

It said: Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity'

So she is too thick to spot it was a parody and presumably saw nothing wrong with it.

She is a horrible person - goodness knows what the point is giving her a ministerial job.

LassWiADelicateAir · 10/07/2018 22:24

Oh and of course she was previously sacked for anti-Semitic comments

I suppose the Labour party are at least consistent in their tone deaf idiocy. Everyone is getting a touch of the shitty stick (except men). It’s worrying with the Tories currently committing harakiri that we have no viable opposition party should there be another fecking snap general election. Fuckers, the lot of them.*

I thought she was fired months ago? Confused

UpstartCrow · 10/07/2018 23:10

Labour is finished, I'm actually scared of them getting into power now.

WhereYouLeftIt · 10/07/2018 23:15

Butler hasn't been replaced. She tweeted this 2 hours ago :

wonderful to welcome @NazShahBfd to the @LabourEquality ministerial team. @carolynharris24 and I are really looking forward to working with you and holding this cruel government to account.

Pratchet · 10/07/2018 23:17

Oh my goodness the Labour women's team is a shit show for women without penises. So, women.

Pratchet · 10/07/2018 23:20

How unsurprising 😒

Dawn Butler has been replaced as shadow minister for women and equality by Naz Shah
AngryAttackKittens · 10/07/2018 23:21

Given the pushback that Shah got over the Rotherham retweet you have to wonder if Labour are actively trying to avoid being elected at this point.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 10/07/2018 23:25

desperately trying to avoid ending up with responsibility for the pigs ear that is Brexit perhaps

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 10/07/2018 23:28

Or maybe they just deep-down believe that female, Jewish, minority and working-class voters are all socially constructed

I can't fathom what the point is of giving her any prominence, what with Rotherham and the anti-Semitism issue. She is patently unsuitable to hold a minsterial post so what demographic do they think they will win back with her? Mind Dawn Butler is useless too.

On the off chance Theresa May is reading this - just hang on in there, please. No matter how badly you are doing the prospect of Corbyn being in charge is infinitely worse.

tobee · 11/07/2018 02:28

Finally cancelled my direct debits to Labour this week. Been hanging on in the hope.... but I don't really know why.

Carecomplet · 11/07/2018 08:01

What happened re. Naz Shah and Rotherham?

RedToothBrush · 11/07/2018 08:10

She doesn't see safety guarding frameworks.

Why do you think she got the job.

And way was Dawn Butler quietly removed???!!!!

RunOfTheMill · 11/07/2018 09:38

Apparently I am wrong about Dawn. I didn't research before posting, sorry. Blush

Naz Shah is unsuitable for this post. She holds dreadful anti Jewish sentiment as evidenced by her comments on Israel, while claiming to represent minority groups. The only good thing she ever did was stand up for he family of honour killing victim
Samia shahid.

Juells · 11/07/2018 12:04

Israel doesn't equal Jewish. I don't know what she said about Israel, but if someone said something nasty about Italy or Ireland would you accuse them of being anti-Catholic? Or anti-CoE if they criticised England?

I'm quite prepared to believe that she's nasty and anti-Semitic, but not for criticising Israel.

PersonWithAVulva · 11/07/2018 13:13

Why does it always seem to be intolerant areholes getting this position? Surely you would expect someone who was minister for women and equalities would not be misogynistic, homophobic, insert other phobia here...

starcrossedseahorse · 11/07/2018 14:05

Labour have also reinstated Jared O'Mara (MP for Sheffiled Hallam) the charmingly homophobic misogynist suspended last year.

What they are doing I do not know but they can fuck off. I shall not be voting Labour ever again at this rate.

RedToothBrush · 11/07/2018 14:11

Have you seen O'Mara's apology???! (buried on Monday when Davis and Johnson resigned) followed by news that his constituency office is a Labour colleagues and is outside his constituency against parliamentary standards.

I am not part of the O'Mara fan club.

pfttt · 11/07/2018 14:13

Think Labour are actually just trolling the Jewish community now.

This is in the same week Labour rejected the universally-accepted definition of anti-Semitism (the IHRA one) to substitute their own one, which said it is fine to compare Jews to Nazis, that it is fine to deny Jews the right to self-determination, that it is fine to claim that Jews are all secretly working on behalf of Israel, and to attack Israel for things you would not/do not attack any other country for doing.

In other words, providing the get-out clauses required for everything their own MPs and cultists do all the time.

Why you think Labour wouldn't also troll women, I have no idea. They're currently controlled from Moscow, basically, so Seumas Milne will do what Putin tells him.

BarkingDogsAloneAtHomeSucks · 11/07/2018 14:20

Owen Jones did Tweet about labour trolling women.

So you believe Putin is funding both left and right parties in the UK?
