The fact that Corbyn has suspended Ken Livingstone and made the point very clearly that there is no place for anti-Semitism in the Labour party is a big plus for me, anti-Semitism on the Left needs to be challenged instead of muddling it up with anti-Israel and using that as a cloak to hide behind.

I really think he is doing himself no great favours with his handling of this,imagine what he would be saying to any other party leader who decided on such a riding important issue,that they were not even going to discuss it today.

After the problems yesterday with John Mann and Ken Livingstone the party was left with little option after such a public airing but I am not at all of the view that Corbyn wanted him suspended.
If he handles this issue really wrong I will add my voice in Labour to maybe look at a change of Leader.
With the Conservatives in such a mess themselves,it is near soul destroying seeing the mess Labour has got itself into now and its sad for politics in the UK too.
