You have to hand it to Labour – they certainly know how to make an entrance. In the week that parliament returns, it was announced on Monday that the full slate of Corbynista candidates had been elected to Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC). This included Pete “Trump fanatics” Willsman, who was given a hero’s welcome by activists as he arrived at Labour HQ the following day. This was caught on camera with one activist bellowing through a microphone: “Jews are not oppressed…Jews are not discriminated against. They don’t suffer economic discrimination.”
Apart from sending chills down the spines of British Jewry, the main outcome of this NEC election is likely to be introduction of the much-threatened mandatory reselection for MPs. With Marxist entryists in full control of the NEC and many Constituency Labour Parties, they can now devote their efforts to destroying that last holdout of the moderates: the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Labour MPs have been in a curious position in these last three years.
