If Jonathan Freedland really wants to know how Jews "can vote for Corbyn", could I respectfully suggest he read recent articles by some of his co-columnists at the Guardian (Many Jews oppose Brexit, but how can we vote for Corbyn? 09/11/19)? He could start with Gary Younge`s excellent piece which compared the views of the empathy-free zone that is Rees-Mogg with those of the Labour MP Russell-Moyle (In moments of candour, the real choices become clear, 08/11/19), before moving on to Marina Hyde`s description of our "verbally incontinent" prime minister (Lurching and rambling, the man in charge has lost control, 09/11/19).
All those not voting Labour in next month`s election must realise they risk giving power over the UK for five years to the country`s most duplicitous politician, whose word cannot be trusted, and whose policies will increase the huge inequalities and injustices currently existing in our society. If Freedland wants tax avoidance to flourish, the NHS and schools to continue to be underfunded, for the number of food banks and homeless on our streets to multiply, and for the lack of regulation to enable more Grenfell-like disasters, not voting Labour is the obvious choice. If he goes down that route, can he please tell us, so that I for one can avoid reading anything he writes again!
