Is the BBC antisemitic? How many Labour MPs truly fought Corbyn? Do we still call for a two-state solution?
Ian Austin, Baron Austin of Dudley is a life peer in the House of Lords. He was the Labour Member of Parliament for Dudley North from 2005 until 2019 when he stood down saying that Corbyn was unfit to be a leader and that people should vote Conservative to avoid a Corbyn Government. He now sits as an
independent in the House of Lords
He is vocal on racism and antisemitism...his latest quote on X is thus “If the only country you march against is the only Jewish one, you're a racist”
