The suspensions from the Labour Party of Bradford West MP Naz Shah and former London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, has brought this issue to the forefront of the mainstream media (MSM) just a week away from the Elections on May 5th, and the cynical amongst us might wonder if this is a deliberate ploy from the MSM and the anti-Corbyn brigade to make Labour less attractive in the polls and give the anti-Corbyn folks a weapon to launch a leadership bid to oust Jeremy Corbyn as leader as a result.
Looking at the evidence of what has been said, it seems that some anti-Corbyn folks have jumped on the bandwagon and are happy to damage their own Party's electoral chances in order to oppose the democratically elected Party leader, something which others in the Party claim should result in the suspension of those seeking to undermine the leadership.
The biggest danger for the Labour Party is that jumping onto this bandwagon and conducting a witch-hunt against suspected or claimed anti-Semites is simply playing into the hands of those who are seeking the removal of Jeremy Corbyn as Party leader.
