Yeah, you can really see how important Corbyn is.

All these things suddenly getting called out as antisemitic because he mentioned them. It's like "Imperialism: A Study," where newspapers were happy praising it until it was pointed out Corbyn had written a foreword for one edition.

If there wasn't a Corbyn around, how would people ever notice these antisemitic things?

Keir Starmer sets out plan to tackle anti-Semitism after Labour EHRC probe
The party's "Action Plan for Driving Out Anti-Semitism" has been approved by the Equality and Human Rights Commission

Keir Starmer has set out his plan to drive anti-Semitism out of the Labour party.

The party's "Action Plan for Driving Out Anti-Semitism" has been approved by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), after a probe found unlawful acts of harassment and breaches of the Equality Act.

In a joint statement, Mr Starmer and Deputy Leader Angela Rayner said they had made rooting out anti-Semitism in the party had been their number one priority.

They said: “The Equality and Human Rights Commission report on antisemitism in the Labour Party is incredibly difficult reading for everyone who loves our party and wants it be a force for good.

"But its findings were clear and stark: the Labour Party breached the Equality Act in terms of unlawful harassment and indirect discrimination towards our Jewish members.

“We failed the Jewish community, our members, our supporters and the country. That is why we must act to drive antisemitism out of our party and change the processes, structures and the culture of the party to ensure Jewish people feel safe to return to their political home.


How about those Jewish people who are on the left feeling safe in the party? Or don't they count?

Yeah, nobody's going to be riding in to save us at the last minute.

There is a rapidly vanishing chance that this is propaganda doomsaying so people are relieved when a deal is signed at 11:59 on Dec 31st, but that would ignore that Boris and his chums have wanted this from the start.

I would not be surprised if the real battle was going on inside the Tory party between the ERG and more moderate* Tories.

I feel like the idea that there's some grand master plan behind this may be a bit of a just-world fallacy, assuming competence and intelligence from a political system that demonstrably does not select for it. We should be more open to the alternative possibility, that Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a lazy, coddled idiot with delusions of invincibility who really does believe his own hype about Britannia unchained straddling the world like a mighty colossus.

It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

French firm wins Royal Navy Type 31 frigates contract
Thales will supply new warships' 'digital heart'

A French defence contractor has announced it will deliver the "digital heart" that powers the Royal Navy's next generation Type 31 Frigates.

Thales - a French multinational company that designs and builds electrical systems and provides services for the aerospace, defence, transportation and security markets - says it will provide the RN "with the most advanced mission systems to protect UK maritime interests globally".

A spokesperson for Thales said: "Thales, as part of Babcock Team 31, has been selected to deliver the digital heart of the UK’s next generation frigates.

"Thales will be the mission systems integrator for the Type 31 programme, delivering the combat system, communications systems and the navigation and bridge system. The T31 general purpose frigate programme will provide the UK Government with a fleet of five ships, at an average production cost of £250 million per ship.

"Following a comprehensive competitive process, T31, a capable, adaptable and technology-enabled global frigate will be the UK Royal Navy’s newest class of warships, with the first ship scheduled in the water in 2023.
