Corbyn's Stop the War comrade: are Zionists at the heart of the Tory bullying scandal?

As details have emerged regarding the Mark Clarke bullying scandal that is currently engulfing the Tory party, allegations of blackmail, revenge porn and drug-taking have come to light. As a result, the Tory party is currently under pressure to explain why allegations of bullying were not looked into sooner by members of Tory HQ. With Grant Shapps resigning from his ministerial post over the weekend as a result of these damaging allegations, others are beginning to ask: why was there such a toxic atmosphere among young Tory activists in the first place?

As for Jeremy Corbyn’s Stop The War comrade Yvonne Ridley? Well for Ridley — the journalist who converted to Islam after she was held hostage by the Taliban — the question on her lips is: are Zionists at the heart of the Tory bullying scandal? Ridley has waded into the debate with an article for Middle East Monitor. In this, the pro-Palestine campaigner claims that what the scandal really reveals is ‘the dirty tricks of Zionist influences at the heart of David Cameron’s troubled government’:

‘While Middle East political observers may regard the fall out as nothing more than a domestic spat, they couldn’t be more wrong, because snippets of information are beginning to come out which reveal the dirty tricks of Zionist influences at the heart of David Cameron’s troubled government.’
