Prominent anti-Israel activists in the UK are slamming the Jewish Chronicle newspaper for its coverage of links between Labour party primary candidate Jeremy Corbyn and anti-Semitic individuals and groups.
He said the veteran left-winger would be a “positive thing” for the country because he “stands up for the rights of ordinary people”.
Mr Corbyn is now the favourite to win from Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham, with Ms Kendall consistently coming in fourth place in polls. “Most of it will be to abolish what Tony Blair did”.
He sarcastically dismisses Mr Corbyn as mad, before listing his socialist campaigns against government cuts, bombing Syria and limiting welfare.
The Record’s editorial reads: “Corbyn’s anti-austerity message inspires people and restores their faith that a better way is possible. The fear would be, can party politics ever impact the will of the people?”
“He is essentially Trotskyist in his disposition”, Mr Rabbitte said. And now actually the Conservatives have won’.

Last week the two Labour men came out in support of Ms Kendall, over her “radical, local plan for change”. It is going to be an interesting discussion’. That’s why we must unite behind Andy Burnham so we can work together to win the public’s trust and confidence and so put Labour’s values at the service of the country once again.
Labour Party members are also voting for a deputy party leader, following the resignation of Harriet Harman. And I want to see real democracy so this election gives a very strong mandate for change within our society’.
Corbyn’s EU reform ideas open up the possibility that, if he becomes leader, Britain’s second most influential political party could oppose Cameron’s renegotiated settlement with the EU and campaign to leave the world’s largest economic bloc.
We want to turn that mood of anger into a fight.
Miss Kearney also asked Dyab Abou Jahjah – who tweeted a picture sitting next to Mr Corbyn on the platform of a meeting of the Stop he War Coalition.
