Like most ministers, Gove is OK when you get to know him. Some bold ideas that he stuck to at the cost of his job. Cummings not so likeable but brainier and angrier.

Jezza has a long history of criticising the party leadership (and rightly so!). Thankfully the new labour leadership are less tolerant of dissent and will purge the neoliberal globalists to purify the party.

More accurately, it is a symptom of the left (not limited to the UK) being unwilling to discuss issues like Israel, immigration, the parts of Islam that subjugate women - hate gays etc without hurling the racism straw man. Lots of the labour left are anti-zionist to various degrees and the Blairites are not and pull the 'u racist' card every time anyone mentions Israel. It is the left in general, not just the UK.

If the PLP were disagreeing with specific Corbyn policies like he did with other party leaders, that would be one thing. It's not like he spent his years as a backbencher coming up with increasingly stupid plots to sabotage the party or yelling "Kinnock/Smith/Blair/Brown/Miliband bad!" without explanation.

"The Guardian posted:A senior Labour source, close to the embattled leader, said they had blocked Watson from talking privately to Corbyn because they have a “duty of care”. “They [Watson’s aides] want Watson to be on his own with Corbyn so that he can jab his finger at him,” the source said. I think Corbyn might be cracking under pressure at this point. Starting to feel bad for him now.

TheRat posted:So it's literally just people pretending that not liking Israel equals antisemitism? That sounds like something US would do, I would have thought better of UK. A long-time Corbyn ally who should know better went and said some stuff that was very easy to spin into a controversy. Another Labour MP (John Mann) took the opportunity to find this ally and shout YOU'RE A NAZI soundbites at him repeatedly while a TV crew filmed it. Of course this ended up leading the news, making Labour look bad and forcing Corbyn to take the heat Corbyn went and ordered an inquiry, putting a prominent human rights campaigner and lawyer in charge of the investigation, giving her completely free rein to investigate and to set a very high bar, not just looking at anti-semitism but bullying and intimidation in general. She was full of praise for how it was handled, and at the press conference for the final report, Corbyn reiterated some of the report's conclusions - including a bit about not holding ordinary people to account for the actions of states or organisations, because it's nothing to do with them. After all this work, people jumped on this one comment with tweets like CORBYN COMPARES ISRAEL TO ISIS Basically it's not even criticising Israel that's at issue, that's just being used as another stick to beat Jeremy Corbyn and give him bad press, and it's being used (as usual) by people within his own party, partly to undermine him and partly to elevate them as some kind of moral crusaders. Which is why you've got Chuka pouting when Ken won't answer his 'IS ISRAEL THE WORST Y/N' gotcha questions without going into detail baka kaba fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jul 4, 2016 |

If Corbyn had a plan to reunite the party rather than 'do nothing' and 'ignore reporters' it might help people to know the leader is a bit more pro-active. Momentum just seem to be accusing everyone of being a Blairite, no matter how mild the criticism of Corbyn an MP makes (at this rate, they'll run out of people to accuse and call Corbyn a Blairite). It's getting embrassing now. Corbyn has an important role to play in Labour and the left, but its not as leader. He should go where his talents lie, rather than been out of his depth.

I heard a personal anecdote about Gove today. Apparently he drinks, but he can't hold his liquor and can't keep secrets and just starts spilling policy and privileged information after a glass or two. I wonder why Rupert Murdoch has him round for dinner so often!?
