Owen Smith's overall stance is one that I can agree with, with the exception of his calling for a second referendum. He's dead right about sleepwalking into a "soft brexit" damaging the economy and I hope that Labour's lukewarmists are listening. But a second referendum goes against party policy and as he won't drop it he has to go. Any opportunistic raking up of "Labour's antisemitism problem" in this context is off-topic and vexatious. Apart from darling Keith who is acting like a dead dog with a dead bone about it, the Labour MPs he quotes, disaffected ex-Blairite-Brownites, are referring to a dead issue concerning a mural that has been scrubbed and about which Corbyn has openly admitted he was wrong. Oh for more politicians of principle!

Did you hear me, Keith? Off-topic. You're the first to moan and groan when any of us dare to do it, remember?
