As recently as four weeks ago, when there was a media furore of what Labour's definition of anti-semitism was, the Tories, who were piling on, still made no mention of anti-semitism in their code of conduct. There is an incredible degree of hypocrisy here.
The Daily Mail openly supported the Nazis. Ultimately this comes back to the concerted push by the pro-Israel lobby - which most definitely exists - to tar all criticism of Israel as anti-semitic. There will naturally be a lot more criticism of Israel within the Labour party because it's a core tenet of left-wing values to oppose things like illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing, whereas within other parts of society, notably within the Tory party, the concept of opposition to empire, racism and ethnic cleansing has been a much more dubious thing. There are obvious historical parallels to be drawn from Israel's conduct. For example, Gaza and the Jewish ghettoes of Poland in World War II. Apartheid is another obvious one. These comparisons can often be fraught with problems and have to be phrased carefully. But the bona fides of the person making the criticism and the bona fides of the criticism itself are the important thing.

Absolutely spot on Sid.
The baffling thing about this, is how lightly the Tories have got away with institutionalised racism.

Never been so embarrassed to be from Sunderland in all my life. I'm in the big building in the background at 2:30 on the video watching it all unfold taking videos photos etc. Never thought of mentioning it but now it's National news

I’d wager on suspending negotiations with the EU
It’s the only option she stays legitimate at this point

It's a reference to Donald Tusk's instagram post with the cake but with no cherry on it.
It's well and truly rattled her.

You're mad if you think she'll ever call a GE...
Tl;dr of that speech - Stop taking the piss out of me or I'll call a no-deal Brexit.
