Perfect example of what Corbyn is up against. Joan Ryan, one of the baked beans that quit the Labour party last week, gave an emotional to-camera piece (can't call it an "interview" because no questions were asked and no reporter's comments given) about the vile anti-semitic emails (tweets?) she has received, citing this as proof of the institutionally anti-semitic Labour party. But wait .... how does she know the emails came from Labour party members? Does she have names of these people? If so, has she checked they are party members? If she doesn't have their real names, how does she know who they are? She wasn't questioned about any of this, no one asked her to explain how she knew these were from party members. It was a complete farce. And for balance what did we get? A bland statement from John McDonnell repeating the usual bromide about Labour not being ant-semitic etc etc. If he had been shown the Ryan accusation (it wasn't clear that he had, he simply said he regretted that she'd left the party) -- but IF he had, why didn't he ask the elephant in the room question about how she knew the people who had sent these messages were Labour party members? It's such a blindingly obvious question to ask. But McDonnell didn't ask it. I'm afraid this really demonstrates how hopeless he (and Corbyn) are at fighting this obnoxious smear campaign.
