[HEATST] Labour peer Lord Mitchell
| ...a man of parts, forsooth! |
has quit Labour following Jeremy Corbyn’s re-election as party leader.
The Jewish businessman, who has been in the Lords since 2000 and was formerly a shadow minister, told Heat Street last month that he would resign the Labour whip in the event of a Corbyn victory.
Sources close to him today said he has made good his threat.
| That's ok. While Mr Corbyn recently conceded Israel's right to exist, he only did so under pressure. Jews have no place in his universe. But now, Lord Mitchell -- incidentally, you retain the title even though you are no longer a member of the party that promoted you. So very amusing to have a vote in the House of Lords that can be used as a check rein on those who drove you out -- you'll want to ponder deeply where in the current political landscape you will find your home. |
