That Corbyn fella...

I bet if you asked a cross section of people what their 50 biggest issue in the country anti semitism in the labour party wouldn't make the list.

I think this situation lends credence to the view that because Corbyn hasn't spent his time preparing for power he is having to rely on - or is being used by - (some) allies who are either plainly idiots or who have rather controversial views, to put it mildly. This is manifested in his slowness to remove those who have stepped over the line, and the tit for tat attacks against those like Hodge who have confronted him.

I'd imagine this doesn't help attract the swing voters they need.
