  • So ready to sack a woman. A male politician would have been given time to 'reflect' and apologise

  • I don't know if this is true.

    Firstly I wouldn't be surprised if there's an incredible explicit message in the shadow cabinet that there's to be no mention of Israel whatsoever. For RLB specifically, it's her job to hold to account the govts education record (something she should be making hay with right now) - I'm not sure why it was necessary to reference Israeli police training - even if it's not an anti-Semitic reference then it's still a risk to post it and doesn't reflect well on her judgement for doing so. .

    Secondly, I've not seen much evidence from Starmer thus far that he'd have treated a male colleague any differently.

  • To be clear, RLB retweeted an interview with famous actor Maxine Peak. In that interview, Maxine mentioned Israel.

    It's pretty slim pickings really.
