the point is that emily thornberry has been one of his most loyal loo tenants.ost loyal new tenants, john mcdonnell has been loyal from the start of this project. these are the start of this project. these are the usual suspects, these are jeremy's friends and closest allies begging him to move both on anti—semitism and coming to a comprehensible position on brexit. it is this constructive ambiguity, i think it has run its course. it is also really reductive of labour to think that unless we have a brexit general election that the next general election will be about brexit. it won't, it will be about bread—and—butter issues and if they came toa bread—and—butter issues and if they came to a position and then moved on, they would probably see some sort of recovery in the polls, i would imagine. andjust sort of recovery in the polls, i would imagine. and just to add to the problem is, there is more trouble over claims of anti—semitism. we know there is going to be a panorama programme this week, we now hear are seeing the deputy leader is deploring the effo rts the

the board not just from tourism a but listen to this from labour's shadow foreign secretary emily thornberry she said that the situation has made a larking a loving stock of britain and she like some other people have reacted to reports that. felt he had to step down after the lukewarm response from boris johnson jr t.v. debates between him and the other prospective prime minister jeremy hunt the current foreign secretary jeh johnson was seen as weak in his support for the ambassador now emily thornberry has called that a lick lickspittle response and pathetic a lot of people have been commenting on the fact that while jeremy hunt was solid in his backing for the ambassador mr deryk boris johnson really really didn't want to go very far at all the prime minister in the last few hours has been solid in her support without being so outspoken. thank you mr speaker mr speaker this morning i have spoken to sit him down i have told him that it is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position as. i. said kim has given sikkim has given a lifetime of service to the unit

this isjohn mcdonnell, emily thornberry, diane, they have been unhappy since jeremy corbyn became leader he has to shift his position. they are talking about him shifting his position on the labour pa rty's about him shifting his position on the labour party's position on europe but also gunning for the two of his closest aides who they blame for a lot of this mess around anti—semitism. there's going to be a panorama documentary this coming week, labour have bmw trusted and said they are going to complain about a lack of impartiality by the bbc -- about a lack of impartiality by the bbc —— have pre—emptively trusted. —— trust. it's what you expect from them —— trashed. tom watson attacking labour but it isjohn mcdonnell putting pressure onjeremy corbyn to back a second referendum. it's quite unasked for a party concerned about its votes. that's probably an unhelpful way of talking about it. i am rather sick of this idea that the country is divided into brexit and remain voters, how will the country get past it is denmarkjeremy will the country get past it is denmark jeremy corbyn has wil

what is the effect of emily thornberry sang this?s highlight the divisions right at the top of the labour party and how best top of the labour party and how best to tackle anti—semitism. it is notable that she does not repeat the official denunciations of this former member of staff is spoke to the bbc alleging political interference. i think as of the impact about this, the issue is now becoming so toxic that there is a group of mps becoming so toxic that there is a group of mp5 on the centre—left of the party who are now saying that all allegations of anti—semitism should be dealt with independently official. i have been told that a meeting of labour's ruling national executive later this month, there is likely to be a push for a new independent system to be put in place. something which a sinew figure has tommy could be a defining moment for labour. but the later leadership has not yet signed up to this. they said the existing system is improving and getting better at dealing with complaints, four times more quickly than before. a

the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, has criticised her party's response to the bbc panoramans about the way labour handled claims of anti—semitism. the party described former officials who had acted as whistle—blowers as "disafffected" and said they had "professional and personal axes to grind". ms thornberry told the bbc‘s andrew marr show that it was important labour addressed the problems raised by the programme. i think that the labour party has to deal with this issue, and frankly, i welcome the fact that the... i mean, it's a shame and a disgrace that the equalities and human rights commission have been brought in to look at the labour party but they have, and i think we should now welcome it. i think we should open — wait a minute. we should open our doors up and we should say to them, "right, we have been trying to improve our processes. clearly, it's still not working. can you help us?" a 25—year—old man has been charged with the murder of a pregnant woman in south london, and the manslaughter of her baby son. kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she

i think notably today, a seniorfigure, the shadow foreign secretary emily thornberry distance herselfhe messengers, as she attack and said she defended the messengers, as she called them. so now there's a group of people who see themselves on the centre—left of the party who say the underlying issues needed to be tackled actually. in doing so they say what is required is a completely independent system, independent of the party, to deal with complaints of anti—semitism. this will be raised at the meeting tomorrow, but also i've been told there is going toa similar also i've been told there is going to a similar push at labour's ruling nec to adopt an independent system later this month. a seniorfigure said to me this could be a defining moment for labour but we should say the leadership have not signed up to this, they say they are improving the existing system, dealing with anti—semitism complaints four times quickly than before and that critics simply don't recognise the positive changes they have made. a study that followed nearly 200,000 people over eight years has found that diet

earlier today the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, said the party must heed "the message" litical correspondent iain watson has more details. i think notably today a senior figure, the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornbury, distanced herself from that official attack and said she'd defend the messengers, as she called them so now there's a group of people who see themselves on the centre—left of the party who are saying the underlying issues need to be tackled. in doing so they say what's required is a completely independent system to deal with complaints of anti—semitism, which will be raised ata anti—semitism, which will be raised at a meeting tomorrow, but also i'm being told there will be a push at the decision—making. .. a being told there will be a push at the decision—making... a senior figure said to me this could be a defining moment for labour but the leadership haven't signed up. they're saying they're improving the existing system are dealing with anti—semitism complaints four times more quickly than before, and their critics don't realise the changes being

but he was bad in foreign office questions quite often when he was up against emily thornberry. the confidence, she wiped the floor with him. i think especially if debates go on, notjust pmqs, but statements, ifjohnson has to keep on repeating a line over and over again, and we saw this at the time of the russia salisbury instance where he was literally saying it says here in my brief, his discipline goes. he eventually thinks, "0h, stuff it," and says whatever comes off the top of his head and often the stuff off top of his head is what gets him in trouble. so, katy, what's your advice to the new prime minister on how to perform at prime minister's questions? i think the most likely scenario is boris johnson, and i think that his weakness as we touched on is going to be detail. and i think that if you start freelancing or going off piece, that's when you can run into trouble. it can be when you can come up with great lines but if you don't have the detail down, it's a risky strategy. so i think it's to prepare, perhaps that's a boring tip, but i think for a boris johnson premie

of course, emily thornberry turned after the european elections. she said we need to change.g there looking at him adoringly and start to question the decisions he is making. this is yet again an attack on seamus milne, and carry whatever. karie murphy. it comes in the wake of the panorama programme, we know what is going to be in it, roughly, on wednesday, the panorama programme has apparently got up to eight members of the labour party who have signed an nda, nondisclosure, but have broken ranks to talk about their fears have broken ranks to talk about theirfears for it have broken ranks to talk about their fears for it is happening. allegations of anti—semitism and bullying. allegations of not knowing what the hell the public wants. john mcdonnell saying that we need to position ourselves as a remain party now, because there have been so many splits in the labour party. they're have in the conservative party as well, but the opposition seems to be no different. exactly, it is warfare in both parties, both the conservatives and in labour. and this demand within the labour p

you've been hearing statements like the shadow foreign secretary for the opposition labor party emily thornberry saying that the situation has made a lot of things stock of britain we've heard from the head of the senior person at the foreign office in the last few hours that there is indeed a police investigation underway into where the leaks came from there are reports that the diplomatic service is worried that there could be more leaks of private correspondence which would be very damaging now to prime minister to resume a you're talking about she her has confirmed that she spoke to kim darrick on wednesday briefly she didn't go so far as others have done in their criticism of what's happened but she was fully supportive of him let's have a listen. thank you mr speaker mr speaker this morning i have spoken to slim down i have told him that it is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position and. i. said kim has given us a kid has given a lifetime of service to the united kingdom and we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. i also wonder whoever takes over now
