It all looks very bad, doesn’t it?

Here‘s Tom Watson on The Andrew Marr Show, claiming Jeremy Corbyn should “make a ‘personal intervention’ to tackle anti-Semitism claims – revealing he had sending a dossier of 50 cases to the leader.

“He blasted new Labour general secretary Jennie Formby over the anti-Semitism row, saying her reforms had ‘very patently… not been adequate’.

Bad for Jeremy Corbyn?

No.

Bad for Tom Watson.

His zeal against alleged anti-Semitism in the Labour Party seems to be fuelled with cash from the Israeli government, which is believed to want Mr Corbyn’s removal from the Labour leadership because he opposes that government’s oppression of the people of Palestine.

We know that Israel gave £1 million of funding to Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), to support “fact-finding” visits to Israel for Labour MPs.

That now-infamous conspirator against UK democracy – and now-former officer of the Israeli embassy to this country – Shai Masot was secretly filmed telling LFI chair Joan Ryan he had secured the money, at Labour’s party conference in September 2016.

Mr Watson took advantage of that funding to go on just such a junket the very next month, it seems. The £4,875 cost of the trip was funded using £4,500 from LFI (part of Mr Masot’s contribution?) and £375 from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After his return he has strongly supported the smear campaign that claims Mr Corbyn has allowed anti-Semitism to run rife in the Labour Party – despite evidence that shows it has reduced under the current leadership.

If there really is a “crisis for Labour’s soul”, as Mr Watson described it, then it seems clear that he – not Jeremy Corbyn – is causing it.
