[emmie]

ridiculous witch hunt, why should he be made to stand down,

[dannyk13]

Probably an excuse for getting rid of a moderate.

[naomi24]

I agree with Danny.

[emmie]

so do i, isn't it worrying all these moderates being sacked, that just leaves the hard left in charge.

[anotheoldgit]

He is turning this fiasco into a party politics fight, he is prepared to let one of his go so that he can then point the finger at May and demand she sacks the Children and families minister Nadhim Zahaw for also attending the event.

[naomi24]

I think Labour is shooting itself in the foot. I wonder what the party will look like by the time elections come round again? Sensible people who actually look around the world realise that hard left tactics never work so I'd guess Labour will be looking pretty unelectable.

[dannyk13]

AOG, He could do that without the need to sack anyone.

[mikey4444]

If Mendlesohn's judgement has been seen to be wanting, than off with his head.

That goes for anybody, from any Party.

I am with Theresa on this....the event was appalling.

[dannyk13]

Mikey, not all who attended were guilty of disgusting behaviour.

[naomi24]

Mikey, you, like Theresa and all the other virtue signallers who are jumping on this particular band-wagon (there's that band-wagon again!), are simply making the noises that you think show you in a good light. Load of rubbish!

[mikey4444]

STOP PRESS !

Naomi disagrees with the Leader of the Party that she voted for !

[dannyk13]

Which is more than you ever do

[naomi24]

Mikey, that's because, unlike you, I'm honest.

[emmie]

unlike you, Naomi and I see Mrs May's flaws, you just don;t like any tory do you.

//According to The Daily Telegraph, "Mr Mendelsohn is steeped in the north London Jewish community", and is a trustee of the UK charities the Holocaust Educational Trust and the UK arm of the New Israel Fund. He is a former chairman of Labour Friends of Israel, of the Finchley United Synagogue, and the Union of Jewish Students.//

There lies you answer!!

[naomi24]

Oh dear ...

Not much good demanding a sacking from the opposite benches, while at the same time keeping one of his own who also attended the event.

[emmie]

togo
are you saying its because he is Jewish they got rid, that can't be right, surely?

[emmie]

this event has been going on for 33 years, why have we only just heard about it?

[dannyk13]

Emmie, why not. The labour party has been often accused of anti Semitism
