The headline is one hundred percent anti-semitic, whatever it takes to get more votes for the Tories.

Corbyn is a well documented anti-Semite

I would know

A lot of the UK's muslim voters aren't big on Jewish communities due to Israel etc, and they tend to be typical Labour voters. I'd expect a few cries of anti-Semitism.

It's extremely rare to see a traditional Jewish family anywhere in my county or the ones surrounding it. I know they exist, but they're mainly concentrated into suburbs of London and other cities.

Fish and chips... one of the UK's favourite foods, has its origins in a Jewish part of East London. Fried fish was big when a lot of Jewish migrants came in the 19th/early 20th century. If you wanted a fact for the day <3

I can't tell if I'm agreeing with you because I don't speak British.

Isn't Corbyn a leaver though?

Historically yes, but his current position is to negotiate a new withdrawal agreement with the EU, then put it to a referendum and campaign against that deal for remain.

Labour tends to have the muslim vote by religion, a counterpoint might be antisemitic but it might light a fire under them to vote for Corbyn...as horrible as it sounds.

I'm surprised that kind of headline was allowed to be published with any strong Brexit headlines apparently coinciding with a rise in racist attacks across the country.... but again... that's if you believe it.

Doesn't the UK have a veto for constitutional changes to EU treaties as well as other areas like justice, taxation and others i have forgotten?

Not that vetos ever get used...

Yup, think all member states can veto certain things - Cameron last used ours back in 2011 for some financial markets regulation for the Eurozone crisis but which would have impacted us. As you say it's rare that anyone ever uses the veto, I couldn't say why, maybe it makes those lavish dinners in Berlaymont a bit awkward later.

The EU is moving toward Qualified Majority Voting i.e. taking away the power of veto from member states. This will 100% happen it's just a question of when. It's possible that someone could veto these changes - the UK if we are still in the EU, but no-one will.

Did you feel like an actor at a party?

When Andrew Neil asked Nadhim Zahawi if he really believes Jeremy Corbyn wanted to have rich people shot, the Conservative business minister replied, "I don't know, you will have to ask him that question."

Vote Tory and stop Corbyn, says retiring Labour MP.
