To dispute ad infinitum about everything



Corbyn’s new party in chaos as co-leaders squabble over antisemitism remark

Jeremy Corbyn has hit back at Zarah Sultana after she accused him of “capitulating” over antisemitism when he was Labour leader as tensions at the top of their new left-wing party grow.

The Islington MP said it was “not really necessary” for Ms Sultana, with whom he is currently co-leading the as-yet-unnamed party, to “bring all that up”.



We know beforehand that it is possible to dispute ad infinitum about everything—and so we do not dispute.

The Jeremiad Party. The Insult Party.

Looking good in that party. Mustn’t guffaw.

Not even off the starting blocks and they're squabbling and falling out. Obviously seasoned professionals.

Sackers - and it's odd how these aspects of behaviour have been so well known for so long but we can't absorb them properly.

dearieme - the The Jeremiad Party is good, fits him so well.

James - and we mustn't make jokes about the People's Front of Judea.

Tammly - yes, it's so impressive, no wonder people vote for such professionalism.
