Nearly 90 peers from the main political parties are calling for Baroness Tonge to apologise for claiming that the Tories won the general election due to Israeli attacks on Jeremy Corbyn. The letter, from an "unprecedented" number of former cabinet ministers, senior lawyers and leaders of industry and commerce, calls on Lady Tonge to apologise for bringing the House of Lords into disrepute over the remarks.
Lady Tonge, a former Liberal Democrat MP, wrote on social media after the result last week: "The Chief Rabbi must be dancing in the street. The pro-Israel lobby won our General Election by lying about Jeremy Corbyn."
| Oh my dear, whatever gave you the idea that this was primarily about Israel for even all of Britain’s Jews? BoJo was pro-Brexit, and so, for different reasons, was the corrupt and vicious Corbyn, which left nobody for the Remainers to vote for. And there were so very many reasons to vote against Mr. Corbyn or stay home, so Bob’s your uncle. |
