It isnât just Maureen Lipman (and other prominent celebrities). The actress and comedienne has announced she will not be voting Labour at the next election.

...it couldnât get any worseâ she (Lipman) wrote in Standpoint magazine, âjust when the anti-Semitism in France, Denmark, Norway, Hungary is mounting savagely, just when our cemeteries and synagogues and shops are once again under threat.

Lipman gives a powerful â and âaccurateâ â critique of Labourâs Mid East policy. And itâs a critique that should have Labour âleadershipâ and his advisers very, very worried, because the Labour partyâs support within the Jewish community is now ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE !!

Itâs seriousâ one influential Jewish Labour supporter told me this morning. âThere are now genuine questions being asked about whether we will be able to vote Labour next Mayâ.

But by far the biggest issue â as Lipman identifies in her piece â is the failure of the âLabour leadershipâ
to speak out forcefully on the growth of anti-Semitism, both across Europe and in the UK.

Jewish Labour supporters, (and indeed some Labour MPs), have also been asking why âLabour leadershipâ has left it to backbencher John Mann to lead the condemnation of a campaign of anti-Semitism CURRENTLY being directed at Labour MP LUCIANA BERGER?

On Wednesday (October 2014!) John Mann took to the floor of the House of Commons to demand action over what he described as a campaign of âabuse against a member (Luciana Berger) of this House continuing on daily basisâ.
(Iâll tell you about this abuse against Berger later)

âLabour leadershipâ has been consistently warned about the deterioration of Labourâs support within the Jewish community. In July the Jewish Chronicle wrote (Stephen Pollard)...
(Note July was July 2014!

She continued - âUntil my (Maureen Lipmanâs words!) party is once more led by mensches.â The Jewish community is preparing to break with Laubourâs first Jewish leader. ED MILIBAND needs to ask himself why.â

So in 6 above the 2014 Dan Hodges article mentioned that Luciana Berger was getting DAILY HATRED.
And that it was somehow Ed Milibandâs fault... Sound familiar
?
Well...the media continued using this Berger narrative in recent years too.

Now - I'd like to talk about the 'increase in antisemitism' -
Maureen Lipman seem to be trolling everyone.
2/3 of Jewish people were considering their future in the UK in 2014 - according to the Jewish Chronicle and reported in this 2014 article below. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/184680
