‘Absolutely shameless’: Ken Loach says BBC helped ‘destroy’ Jeremy Corbyn
GuardianMAR 27 2023
Labour became unsafe for Jews under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, yet the MP denied that there ever was a problem. However, Sir Keir Starmer is standing firm by his promise to show zero tolerance for antisemitism, racism, or discrimination of any kind. Wednesday’s announcement is not the end of the road for Labour — it’s a signal that the party is moving in the right direction and preparing itself to provide credible governance.
Starmer’s announcement is a divisive distraction from the most important goal for Labour members: defeating the Conservative party at the next general election. Barring Corbyn from standing as Labour candidate threatens to prompt civil war among the party, as he has proudly represented the labor movement for more than four decades by standing up for workers' rights, the marginalized, and all those worried about the future of our planet.
