  1. And millions of people – some well meaning, many others dangerously deluded or outright malicious – wanted to make him PM. Many, even now, continue to defend him.

    We dodged a bullet in 2019, and those that defend him, if they had even half of the moral standing they like to ascribe to themselves, should hang their heads in shame.

  2. This sentimentet seems contagious on the western worlds left and i think the left have over invested political capital in to supporting the Palestinian cause regardless of what is in power.

  3. It’s like the left is doing its best not to get elected

  4. What a fucking knob. Can I play?

    Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists. Hamas are terrorists.

    There we go. I’ll take my cushy politician’s pension now, please and thank you.

  5. Both of these guys are absolute twats and I feel bad that the British people have to put up with them

  6. I’d search for his name in the new Cyprus leak. Interesting how much money he received from the Russia/Iran axis.

  7. Well looks like the UK made the better choice in 2019 by about 0.5%.

  8. Come on guys, this is just low-grade journalism from a phony like Piers Morgan. He’s the kind of guy who’s been bought off by anyone willing to pay, just to spout their opinions. Seriously, who even listens to this irrelevant guy anymore? Jeremy Corbyn had it right – he doesn’t owe any kind of explanation to a journalist as unqualified as Piers Morgan.

  9. I think after the third time, Morgan should have gotten the cue. How tonedeaf can you be? This borders on harassment.

  10. I understand resistance. I do not understand:

    1. Putting a baby in an oven

    2. Kidnapping children and the elderly

    3. Parading around the mutilated dead body of a young German woman in celebration

    4. Shooting at Palestinian civilians trying to flee via humanitarian corridors

    5. Raping young women and videotaping the aftermath

    These things, regardless of cause, are *unambigously* terrorism. None of these things affect the IDF of Israeli state. They are explicitly aimed at harming (and terrifying) the civilian population…both Israeli *and* Palestinian.

    Jeremy Corbyn has always been anti-Zionist, and has made this a major part of his appeal. Ever since being sacked for antisemitism allegations, I speculate that he *really* has it out for Jews at this point. He thought that he could get away with a culture of antisemitism, and it ended up bringing him down.

    I have not met him, and so I do not know what he truly believes. That being said, I think it is within the realm of possibility that he would like to see the extermination of the Jewish people. This points to that, as does his likely motive of “they took down my political career.”

    He should be barred from politics for life.

  11. It’s incredible the amount of antisemitism on display on the left. The supposed progressives.

  12. I thank God every day this man was never prime minister.

  13. I was a big fan of Corbyn before the election; I felt he represented the best chance for the young and the UK in general.

    Unfortunately, his stance on Russia and on Hamas proves just how wrong I was. I cannot imagine how catastrophic Corbyn as Prime Minister would have been when Russia invaded Ukraine. At best it would have been appease, appease, talk, wring your hands, and talk some more. At worst, it would have been tacit approval.

    Russia does not understand diplomacy or peacemaking appeasers. It only understands violence and belligerence. It does not back down until forced. So instead of the massive financial and material support from the UK, Corbyn would have waffled, Russia would have laughed at him like they laugh at Macron and Ukraine would have had to fight with even less.

    Nor is this a difficult or egregious question regarding Hamas. By all definitions, they are terrorists. Particularly savage and bloodthirsty ones, at that. Even the most rose-tinted glasses can’t portray them as ‘freedom fighters’ – righteous insurgents don’t perform atrocities like Oct. 7th.

    It’s not even a nuanced discussion about Palestinians, which would make sense; it’s *Hamas,* who butcher and rape and then revel in it. And Corbyn won’t gainsay them. I am disgusted.

  14. It was this guy or that lying sack of sh*t Johnson in 2019. We really were given the worst of both worlds in that election

  15. I voted for that motherfucker. I am ashamed. I also voted for the libdems when they betrayed us to the tories, maybe I should just not vote.

  16. To the utter shock of no one this is corbyn the one who wants the west to stop supporting Ukraine.

    He is a fucking tankie larper with morals so flexible that he should compete in mental gymnastics.

    It’s a mercy he wasn’t PM.

  17. Considering he wouldn’t do anything about the antisemitism in Labour when he was in charge… this is entirely on brand for him.

  18. Come on Corbyn, terror is as terror does.

    It really is important to note the complexity of this scenario however. The IDF have very much terrorised the Palestinians for years, in an apartheid state, and there is a very real, very likely reality that [Netanyahu fertilized Hamas](https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/opinion/international/4268794-the-symbiotic-relationship-between-netanyahu-and-hamas/amp/) so he could justify the destruction of Gaza…. It’s fair to denounce both sides when both sides have acted abhorrently. The power imbalance on this one changes things though, and Netanyahu can’t get enough of it from his recent moves around the Supreme Court. They have the most sophisticated US weaponry, an iron dome, tanks, a highly trained military force, and they are shooting at individuals with old RPGs. Killing civilians will turn more civilians into terrorists. I’m seeing Arabs calling for the slaughter of all Palestinians as well as violent anti-Semitism among peace protesters…. This is all to Netanyahu’s favour…

  19. Can you imagine how close this clown was to being prime minister?

  20. Corbyn didn’t even commit to a “stay” position on Brexit dude is a moron or a right wing plant crashing the party.

  21. Is it just me, or is there a significant overlap between people who have a problem answering this question, and people who want Ukraine to surrender?

    Not that I’m complaining… It has made it very easy to tell who’s a piece of shit.

  22. Make him watch the film that was shown to Israeli politicians.

  23. Hamas is a terrorist group.

    Israel is a terrorist nation.

    It’s perfectly normal (and even the only sensible option), to be against both of them.

  24. Piers Morgan is a lunatic. He supports Ron de Santis for Gods sake, though knows nothing of his book banning plans happening in the state of Florida etc., and gives him and other Fscts a platform for hate preaching.

    Go Jeremy. A narcissist always has to have a scapegoat. Jeremy Corbyn has more heart, soul and humanity in his little finger, than the whole of the British Government and shadow cabinet combined.

    Unlike them, he’s a truth teller. Always has been, always will be, that’s what makes him dangerous to the establishment and the status quo.

  25. Someone I knew was hinting that they thought Hamas wasn’t a terrorist group but rather a freedom fighting group and therefore good guys. Lol.

  26. Corbyn is such a useless cunt! I voted for him as leader but since the Brexit debacle he’s just shown what a useless piece of shit he is.

    How HARD is it to call a terrorist organisation a terrorist organisation?! Prick!

  27. To be fair I don’t think anyone should ever have to talk to Piers Morgan.

  28. Can we get rid of this Israely post hive minds, 80% of the comment section is filled with accounts posting non-stop about Israel last month.

    Every decent sub has banned them, for some reason the are flourishing in r/europe.

  29. How did someone like him even manage to become Labour leader?

  30. He could have quite easily stated that the Hamas group is a terrorist organisation while still believing in the Palestinian cause for statehood and the belief that they should be free from oppression.

    But considering Corbyn’s stance on the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, my opinion of the man has changed somewhat as I did support him while he was Labour leader. He was a breath of fresh air compared to the Tories and Blairites.

  31. If Piers Morgan asked me if the sky was blue or the Earth orbits the Sun I wouldn’t answer. No one should ever interact with Piers Morgan ever again. I don’t mean on shows, I mean no person on the planet should ever acknowledge his existence. Let him wither away lonely in a world which refuses to acknowledge he exists.

  32. This is the problem with the sports-team approach to politics. One can support Palestinians while denouncing Hamas, just like one can denounce the far right Israeli government while supporting Jewish peoples right to exist in peace.

    When we start conflating the different groups and accept the oversimplified narrative that Palestine = Hamas or that Netanyahu’s government = all jews then we lose credibility very quickly.

  33. As a 23M immigrant in the UK, I do think that Jeremy Corbyn is such a disgusting person. He is against every value that makes the Britain prosperous and great country. He is anti-business, anti-West, utopian and socialist person who would make the Britain awful place to live.

    I’m not surprised with his support from young people as many young people love these lefty socialist ideas which are far and far away from reality. Students get their opinions from professors who have never worked in a real job and always stayed in the campus. If you never worked in a real job and never lived in a third world country then many of these people can’t grasp why West is successful and rest is not. Or why free market works but statism doesn’t work.

    Now we’re again seeing that Corbyn supports more compromise for Western values as always and he loves to welcome these jihadist, non-progressive and medieval ideas from war torn countries.

  34. Is that horrible person still in politics? How is that possible?
