I think and have always thought that Corbyn is a principled man. The problem is I don’t share his principles.
Him and the rest of Momentum have to finally go - properly and for good - and let the moderates run the country as New Labour 2.0

If he had his way NATO wouldn’t exist.

The organisation tangibly supporting Ukraine against fascism, keeping Poland and the Baltic States free from Putin’s fascism.
Starmer’s Labour is better for the UK and wider world.

f*** me I didn't know he was against NATO. What a fool. I don't hate him, but I do not like him, I think he's way too far left and the people who follow him are deluded.
Genius.
Right wing press propaganda?
I don’t think that he is anti-British, but he is certainly anti imperialism and colonialism and is a pacifist.
I don’t think he is antisemitic, just anti Israel government foreign policy and perfectly inept at leadership in terms of dealing with those who are actually antisemitic.
As for being a dinosaur and being an utter liability, spot on. One of the major reasons The Liar Johnson won Putin his Brexit and then got the PM job.

I think despite being one of his most ardent supporters, you’ve got it spot on. This whole rejoice of him leaving, is showing that the Labour Party is just about factionalism and being like a school clique. A principled man who had his ideas, but they weren’t popular and he wasn’t well liked, he’s not a bad person. I’ve met him and one of his sons he’s a respectable human being which far too many on the right side of the party fail to acknowledge to further their own career. Now Starmer has got rid of him, he can hopefully rid us of a Tory Government (it’s an open goal), and actually do some policy making that will help people, not just some carbon copy new Labour, as the only piece of policy I can even think of is making sure someone destroyed that grotty alpaca.

Quite.
It's shocking how folk have swallowed the press lies and smears. Corbyn was anti-racist while the very press that paint him were openly.
I never cease to be amazed how people conflate anti-Israeli government policy with anti-Jew. And how the Labour Party, in it's desperate effort to be elected, has gone along with it rightly chucking out anti-Semites, but also chucking out those who weren't.
All you have to do is look at how the press treat Tory misdemeanours and how they treated Corbyn's often non misdemeanours.
Corbyn has more integrity in his little finger than those who shit out those headlines.
I don't think he would have been a good prime minister, and he's not 'Anti-British'. He just doesn't see countries and borders like others do. Which is the right way really. But most folk don't subscribe to it.
Corbyn not being allowed back has seriously pissed me off (you wouldn't be able to tell would you
) and I'm not sure I can vote Labour at the next election now as the so called 'broad church' doesn't exist.

Ask the overwhelming majority of UK Jews.
Would you dismiss the experience of racism & abuse of any other community so casually?
Do you have a quote from Corbyn highlighting his antisemitism?

You're sealioning. How about a career?
He made it mainstream. Ignored, enabled & behind the scenes, encouraged. My local party oozed with antisemitism.
Just for starters.

i'm surprised why supporters keep blaming right wing press for claims that have come out of the Labour party, from many people at many levels.

Forgive me but as Labour don't want him can't he stand as an Independent next election?
Yes he can, and it looks like he could win again....

Jeremy Corbyn was never a Prime Minister in waiting. At best he represented a rather large lobbying group and at worst a cult. Ironically I think both he and Johnson will both be considered 'political aberrations' one day - for totally different reasons of course....

No quotes from Corbyn amongst any of that.
If you scroll down in that Twitter feed you will see a comparable list of examples showing Corbyn is against anti-semitism.
I’ve seen or heard nothing to make me believe Corbyn is not ‘against racism in all its forms’ as he repeatedly said during his leadership of the Labour Party.
When he said battle, he meant this:
Saxonwood Care Home, Battle, East Sussex
Saxonwood is set in beautiful grounds in the heart of the historic town of Battle and within easy walking distance of the town centre.
