It’s worse than that, it’s total delusion and an apology for the filthy racism that went on and still likely goes on.
Yet we don't seem to have heard a thing about it since corbyn agreed to resign. The constant reports of the rise of anti-Jewish violence seem to have dried up completely, and since Starmer has taken over not one member of the Jewish community seems to have expressed their concern at the antisemitism within labour. Truly Sir Kier, and indeed labour as a whole should be applauded for turning things round within the party, and it would seem the nation since the GE in December. It is heart warming indeed to see things improve so quickly and gives me great hope that labour can one day become a lively inclusive party like the Conservatives or lib dems.
Heart warming all the same, and has to restore a little of our faith in humanity when such progress can be made so quickly. It seems the election of the Tories by a landslide and the resignation of corbyn had a pretty instant effect on the antisemites. They are obviously aware that they were rejected by the nation and our wonderful free press would not rest until their misdeeds were laid bare. It's a really good news story to brighten up the covid gloom. Three cheers for Boris the defeator of racism. Having seen off the vile corbynistas and made this country a safer place for Jewish folk, I'm sure he'll have the measure of this virus.I think it’s a combination of things, with many packing up and going home since the election and then the build up the leadership vote, that mostly had to be done behind closed doors at home, in the end.
Many Corbyn supporters have gone off sulking since he announced he was stepping down and they’ve likely not been as active as they were.
Plus the EHRC is investigating at the moment and there’s the thing that many far left Labour members have actually not just sulked but left as well, since Starmer won.

They remind me of the FC Furlough cultIt’s not delusion he knows what he is doing, he always has. We have all seen the morals of that particular cult. Maybe momentum will eventually disappear back to the student union meeting rooms fortunately for bluemoon they still post even after being rejected for the umpteenth time. We can still laugh at their constant defending of a minority group no one takes seriously.
I'm not sure their policies are coherent or have much support. The appeal lies in the idea of change,and a frustration with the status quo. Probably fair enough to describe it as a protest rather than political mvt.I'd actually like to see Momentum break away and form their own party.
Then we can answer the question that has been plaguing the party; are those still supporting Labour doing so because of the policies of Momentum, or are Momentum's policies only getting it's support because it's attached to the Labour Party name.

Absolutely, but the shameful stain of the labour party and corbyn who were instigating and supporting antisemitism at in the UK have been removed at the ballot box. Surely cause for celebration?This report thoroughly disproves any suggestion that antisemitism is not a problem in the Party, or that it is all a “smear” or a “witch-hunt”. The report’s findings prove the scale of the problem, and could help end the denialism amongst parts of the Party membership which has further hurt Jewish members and the Jewish community.”

True. A problem in the party but a problem of the leader.A problem in the party, but not of the party.
Well at least he won something.Wiesenthal Center names UK’s Corbyn top anti-Semite of 2019

The thing with momentum is that they don’t really have anywhere to go. The older members of the Labour Party with the same ideas have always been there as we saw in the 70s onwards. Blair managed to move the majority of the party with him because they weren’t going anywhere. When that went and from a fluke that was Corbyn they became louder again and got new members who would have otherwise been a small group of protesting fantasists.
The problem was they put off more of the public than they gained so while the membership grew it wasn’t reflected outside of the cult itself. They will be diehards still and those that are willing to now go with the flow and those right of them that hope they just piss off. The party itself should hope they just bugger off as opposed to creating constant internal problems.
The fact Starmer got in shows the majority have decided Corbyn Mark II RLB isn’t a viable option. If they can hold that majority for any length of time is another story.
They will be a lot of issues that Labour can get their protest teeth into following the virus and brexit. Do they have the willpower or sense not to promise everything to everyone with the exception of the well to do?
Well at least he won something.
That it wasn't a problem when he wasn't the leader? Let's suppose you take in a stray dog and a few days later you're itching from fleas, when you've never had a problem before. I think it's be pretty easy to guess where the problem came from.Your evidence being?
It is significant, but totally irrelevant, Labour was forever trumpeting how its membershipThe centre ground tried it and failed miserably so some will be very reluctant to do so, to go against the party machines of Labour and Tories.
Galloway was bragging about his Workers Party of GB getting a 1000 new members in a day, which if true is a pretty significant number.
