The Don has lost his marbles. After years of cordial relations, he went off at me after a joke about "tinny lines" and "them Brits"

Don't be saying them things Zippy. You'll have that Kuntcantlawns fella on your case.

He and they are utterly unelectable. The opposition should be smashing the Tories in polls and they can barely get any lead. Also, there's no way the Tories will let Theresa May be their leader going into the next election. They won't get a majority with her but they might without.

Red Ken resigns from Labour and talks about Hitler whilst doing it.

His Hitler tourettes is proper weird. Should have been chucked out sooner.

I think he resigned before he got chucked out, he can now say that he did if for the good of the Party, blah blah blah,

Given the anti semitism row and the fact that Labour lost council seats in wards they'd held for years, Hendon springs to mind, all 3 seats in that ward they lost,(Hendon, Golders Green, Temple Fortune, parts of Finchley Central all large Jewish populations) I which lost Labour Barnet Council, reckon Labour thought they would lose Parliamentary seats too, so someone persuaded him to resign, rather than bring more unwelcome publicity when the Executive, or whatever it's called, eventually stripped him of his membership.

It’s not surprising they’re losing the support of Jews who have previously voted for them

I realise not all accusations of antisemitism are made in good faith. There’s no shortage of people who only care about antisemitism when they think they can score party political points. That wasn’t the case with Ken Livingstone. It was cut & dry He should have been chucked out months ago.

Forgive me if this is odd but didn't he leave awhile back before this and wanted to make his own party or was that another Labour MP? Galloway? Not clued up on these things, so my apologies.

Yes. He wanted to breakaway and form The Revolutionary Communist Front. Nowadays, It goes under the name of the Labour Party.

Thought it was called the National Socialist Party M4rkb?

Really odd. Also, mentioning it AGAIN today and then something about if he kept saying Hitler was a Zionist his GP would think he had early on-set dementia.

He just can't help himself!

I was being sarky. It was originally going to be the Revolutionalry Islamic Front

Ken Livingstone on talkRADIO earlier talking about the splitters from Labour.

Of course we got a wee shout out of Hitler not being a Zionist.

Apparently Labour are now too apologetic over anti-semitism!

You gotta love Williamson - he's like a pantomime villain.

Why he's not been booted is beyond me. He also arranged a tour to whip up deselection campaigns for his own MPs.

What is Dame Margaret Hodge's beef with Corbyn now? She recorded a conversation with him about dealing with antisemitism which to me showed a blatant disrespect for the party's leader and then was on the major network news programmes saying how much contempt she had for him and the Labour Party. She takes exception to Lord Falconer's possible appointment in dealing with antisemitism which he has yet to accept.

I get that she has intractable problems with Corbyn that can't now be healed but as with others who don't give a toss about the party and their constituents, she won't be drawn on why she won't accept a bi-election. Corbyn is a twat for not dealing with the problem robustly but this to me looks like a witch-hunt.
