Corbyn Just ensured Labour will become the new Marxist, anti-western BNP - Jeremy Corbyn says Shamima Begum 'should be allowed back to Britain' for 'support she needs

Why the hell should anyone be surprised?

Anybody looking on from outside could well be excused for thinking that the British Labour Party is determined to stay in Opposition...

IF Labour actually wanted to be in guvm'nt, they would have replaced Corbyn & co. well before now, and at least offered a viable alternative..

McDonnell went much further, suggesting that Brits volunteering for the IDF should be classed as “terrorists” as well as being deprived of their citizenship. The hard left just can’t get over their Israel obsession…

Incredibly, the letter was still publicly posted on McDonnell’s website until at least June 2017, almost two years after he became Shadow Chancellor. McDonnell has since deleted the letter, but the internet never forgets…

Corbyn’s position on Begum’s citizenship is deeply unpopular with the public but did at least appear principled – it is looking a lot less principled now that it emerges that his right hand man was in favour of stripping Brits of their citizenship for fighting for the UK’s main ally in the Middle East. McDonnell’s position appears to be that Britons with dual Israeli nationality fighting to defend the Israeli state should be stripped of their nationality yet their Islamic State terrorist enemies in the same position should not…
