Terrible scenes in Israel-nations have right to defend borders but responses 2 violence must be proportionate. death and injuries of Gazans as well as those few protesters intent on harming Israeli civilians must be condemned & Egypt, hamas & Israel must work for peace together.

Labour deputy leader Tom Watson said Ms Shawcroft should "explore her own conscience", adding that she needs to "realise the damage she has done to her own party and to Jeremy personally and make the right decision" about whether to resign.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I am afraid she is elected by our members. I am not in a position to remove her from the committee and neither is Jeremy."

"Corbyn still cannot accept the reality that antisemitism has flourished under his leadership, often encouraged by his actions, and certainly by his inactions."

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I am afraid she is elected by our members. I am not in a position to remove her from the committee and neither is Jeremy."

RogerOThornhill wrote:Both can be true - that he is not in a position to get rid of her but at the same time he could try and persuade her out.

"All human history, you might say, is the story of people not knowing what lies around the corner. ...the art form that makes us most aware of this is the cinema."

Cambridge Analytica is what happens when you privatise military propaganda

It's not a conspiracy, just that the ruling class are all related.

Anti-Semitism row official Christine Shawcroft quits Labour NEC


Ms Shawcroft will be replaced on the NEC by comedian Eddie Izzard.

She added that she would "pledge my full energy to securing for our country the Labour government under Jeremy Corbyn that it so desperately needs." (BBC News website)
