The only downside to all this that I see is that they all appear to be Remainers.

I would be interested to know how each respective constituency voted in the EU referendum.
If all prospective MP's and local councillors stood as independents and on their own personal manifesto that would negate the need and/or argument for a by-election....and it would consign the unfit for purpose party political system to the history books.
No matter what I do admire their strength of personal conviction....its a rarity in the political world of today.

It is interesting that up to this point no-one at all has chosen to comment on this post, www.abovetopsecret.com...
Is it that even here people are reluctant to really speak on such matters.
I don't really care if people agree or disagree....but I would appreciate other's perspective on this.

I'm pleased someone else see's this.
The Imam's have a huge amount of influence in sections of Muslim communities and at present they are firmly behind Labour and their pro-Palestine stance.
This pro-Palestine attitude has seeped into core Labour doctrine and has an obvious manifestation as anti-Semitism.
The Corbynista's could no more disavow that belief than a Tory could disavow capitalism.
The irony of pro-Israel supporters having Remain views has not been lost on me.

I was talking to a friend the other night about this....he sounds a thoroughly boring individual.
Not a disqualification in itself for senior positions but do we really want this man representing this country on the world stage....just imagine his small talk.
The more I find out about him the less I have in common....in fact I can't think of one.
And loathe as I am to discus such things with such a lady as yourself the mere thought of him together with Diane Abbot is really quite frightening and really brings his judgemental skills into serious questioning.

Diane Abbot walks away when questioned about Jewish comments:
Apparently in other news she is upset at how Fiona Bruce apparently treated her on Question Time and had threatened to boycott QT.
No idea why I thought of this but I remember on HIGNFY when Roy Hattersley failed to turn up and was replaced by a tub of lard.

I can remember Andrew Neil showing just how incompetent she is when he interviewed her on the show that currently follows QT when she first stood in a leadership challenge... she just crumbled. It's a little frustrating as I want to see more diversity in politics but for me she is definitely not a shining example.

Personally I am sick to death of this push on diversity everywhere ......
I just want "The best person" for the position..... any position.

The majority in all but two of the members constituencies voted to Remain.
So to be fair it seems that their personal convictions echo those of the majority of their constituents.
....its tolerance of a "culture of anti-Jewish racism".
The Enfield North MP said she was "horrified, appalled and angered" by Labour's failure to tackle anti-Semitism, saying its leadership allowed "Jews to be abused with impunity".
