John and I discuss the disaster that the UK-based left-leaning Labour Party is fast becoming.

In the wake of the shambolic Conservative Party’s [performance lately, it would have seemed that Labour would easily win a landside in an election that is expected by the end of this year. All that Labour needed to do was nothing.

Unfortunately for the leader Sir Kier Starmer that hasn’t happened. Instead the ghost of former party leader Jeremy Corbyn is back. Under Corbyn’s leadership the party was accused of broad antisemitism within the rank and file of MPs. 

Now new allegations have emerged that hatred of jews is alive and apparently thriving within the party. 

Already the lead that Labour had over the Conservative Party in recent polls has dipped by seven percentage points.
