Jezza’s clearly not impressed with Comrade Sultana. Earlier this week she decided it would be a good idea to blast Corbyn for “capitulating” on the definition of antisemitism as Labour leader. Now Jeremy’s hit back…
Speaking to Middle East Eye, Corbyn said:
“Well I think it wasn’t really necessary for her to bring all that up in the interview, but that’s what she decided to do. The party did adopt the IHRA definition. Personally I was more in favour of the Jerusalem declaration, which is simply saying antisemitism is wrong…”
They’re yet to appear in a joint interview since launching their new unnamed party. Even so, a quarter of Labour members are still turning their heads…
Speaking on Times Radio, former Home Secretary David Blunkett spoke about overdiagnosis of mental problems:
“Let’s distinguish those who are really severely mentally ill, diagnosed with things that require prolonged medical and diagnostic treatment. My wife and I talk about this a lot, because she’s a retired GP, about the fact that you can be sad without being ill. You can be momentarily depressed because your boyfriend or girlfriend’s just thrown you and you’re not mentally ill. You can even have mild issues, which can be dealt with with the right kind of support, but it doesn’t make you mentally ill. So we’ve got a real task, I think, to get the psychology, if you like, of this over. But there are things where you definitely need medical intervention, and there are other things where you need good friends, you need good connectivity, and you need a job.”
