Rat joins sinking ship Archived Message Posted by Raskolnikov on February 25, 2023, 10:16 pm https://www.dumptheguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/25/luciana-berger-rejoins-labour-after-keir-starmers-antisemitism-apology Luciana Berger rejoins Labour after Keir Starmer’s antisemitism apology Jewish MP left party four years ago over its handling of the issue under Jeremy Corbyn Starmer prostrates himself endlessly in the article: “You left because you were forced out by intimidation, thuggery and racism,” he wrote. “Yours was a principled and brave move. But it was one you should never have been forced to take. That day will forever be a stain on Labour’s history.” He added: “The abuse you suffered was disgusting. You were left isolated and exposed. Shamefully, those who should have defended you stood by.” In her response accepting Starmer’s invitation, Berger said her previous Labour tenure was a “grim journey […] during which the party fell into the depths of the abyss under Jeremy Corbyn’s reign”. “I never expected to bear witness to the volume and toxicity of anti-Jewish racism espoused by people who had been allowed to join Labour, and to experience a leadership that treated antisemitism within the party’s ranks differently to every other kind of racism – and that by refusing to condemn it, encouraged it,” she wrote. “But that is exactly what happened.” Nauseating Message Thread: Rat joins sinking ship - Raskolnikov February 25, 2023, 10:16 pm Meanwhile - The murderous antisemitic hate that Starmer’s Labour has not dealt with - johnlilburne February 25, 2023, 11:00 pm Re: Meanwhile - The murderous antisemitic hate that Starmer’s Labour has not dealt with - ceemac666 February 26, 2023, 3:40 am Re: Bring back Chukka!.nm - Sir Michael Mouse February 26, 2023, 5:36 am   Searching
