I'm not at all sure that Corbyn is anti-Zionist.
Whilst he condemns the behaviour of the Israeli Government and opposes their programme of illegal settlement building on Palestinian land, I am not aware of any opposition on his behalf to the right of existence of Israel as a nation nor to the idea of a Jewish homeland in the Middle East.
“A man is known by the company he keeps”Fair point. And in a nutshell this has also been the UK's official position regarding the conflict for many years now.
As for antisemitism... again, I don't think that Corbyn necessarily holds any such ideology himself, instead his inaction on that front is due to fear of alienating some of his voters.
Or...:“A man is known by the company he keeps”
Ha ha, classic...:MP gets 'overwhelming support' in Labour anti-Semitism row makes interesting reading, what DO Labour really think?
Windrush.... why is it all becoming political? The problem was causes over 50 years by the Home Office under successive governments.... why blame May and Rudd over this? The pair may have a lot to answer for on a variety of Home Office issues, but the Windrush fiasco is surely not of their making?
...40 years of UK apathy and meddling and some politics...
The Lady's original 1960 Jamaican passport with the 'Indefinite leave to remain' stamp was stolen in 2006, and so when she left to Jamaica to attend her sister's funeral in 2010, she was unable to return to the UK because her new Jamaican passport requires her to get a visa in order to come here. and has been stranded in Jamaica for the past 8 years. So yes this is a downright mess..... but sadly, hardly a new one.
Seems that over the past 60 years no one at the Home Office thought that it might be a good idea to encourage all these people to become British citizens, or otherwise settle their status.
So the great British public expects our government to make an omelette without breaking any eggs... great.
I'm not sure what the 'great British public' expects.
But at least some of the time it's not what the political and media establishment very vocally and righteously present (or assume) that it expects.
before going in front of select committees and making total fools of themselves!

Can you remember(or have read about) when Nazi Germany(Axis) were soooo close to winning the world war against the 'Allies', United Kingdom? Churchill himself said that Hitler had the war won in May 1941- after the fall of Crete and the Germans capturing the three airfields there. And then, as if magically, out of nowhere, friends of Germany, United States, flew in saved our asses? But at what cost?
I'd be interested to see exactly how you got to this simplistic interpretation.
My recollection is that Churchill's view after the invasion of Crete was rather different. And the US was involved with Lend Lease prior to that.
