I agree, Iains. I said as much. The issue affected Labour's ability to win seats, particularly where the Jewish population is high. The fact that they still won seats and were not wiped out by the issues does them credit. But, yes, Corbyn does need to address the issue. Whether you and I agree on what the issue actually is is irrelevant. It still needs to be addressed. I have stated quite clearly that it is not an issue for Labour alone and the parliamentary commission agrees. I think he should take the initiative and lead a movement to eradicate racism, sexism and any other types of prejudice in all its forms from the country in General and Westminster in particular. But I suspect my voice is not heard so high. DtG
