I'm sure the Marxists will just retort that it is the same level of Anti-Semitism as seen in the general population and ignore that no mainstream party should tolerate a racist element, look at it as isolated incidents and ignore the sheer number of them, or say that The Guardian is not a reputable news source as it doesn't publish garbage, emotional clickbait like The Independent and The New Statesman. 

... will Corbyn resign as being leader of the Labour party when he again fails to win a General Election and a majority in Parliament?

Did you read the article?

I have to admit I am rather concerned that this woman has chosen to publicise the contact details of this non-nurse.  No doubt she will now get hundreds, if not thousands, of hate mail messages in her inbox - and possibly even death threats.  
We live in an angry world. :-( 

You must be in a world of pain.

88% of Conservatives’ recent paid-for Facebook adverts have been independently found to feature claims which are either outright or partial lies.

Labour? 0%

And two of the main stories tied up...

1. A concerned mother shares a photo of her 4-year-old boy who was forced to wait hours on a hospital floor with suspected pneumonia.

2. The photo circulates online so a journalist challenges Boris Johnson about it during an interview by showing him the picture of the boy on his phone.

3. Johnson repeatedly refuses to even look at the boy, let alone acknowledge responsibility for the situation, and eventually steals the journalists phone and puts it in his pocket.

4. There is uproar about Johnson's lack of compassion so Health Minister, Matt Hancock, is dispatched to the hospital to deal with the situation.

5. Matt Hancock briefs journalists that, while at the hospital, one of his advisors was "punched" by a Labour activist.

6. Much of the media unquestioningly report the "punch" by the "Labour activist" as fact without checking the validity of the allegation. Widespread rage about "violent Labour activists" spreads like wildfire online.

7. Video footage then emerges online showing that the story had been entirely fabricated and was 100% false.

8. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world.

9. A Facebook post then appears claiming to be from a "good friend" of a nurse working in Leeds hospital. The post says that the photograph of the 4-year-old was faked by a "Labour activist". The post is shared more than 30,000 times.

10. The claim is unquestioning reported as fact by much of the media without checking its validity.

11. Suspicions of the validity of the claim are then raised as it is discovered there are literally thousands and thousands of Facebook and Twitter accounts posting exactly the same claim, word for word.

12. It becomes clear that bots are being used to spread disinformation. The hospital also confirms the accuracy of the photo and that it had already apologised to the mother.

13. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world.

14. The account where the post originated then comes into question. It belongs to a (real) woman named Sheree Jenner-Hepburn who claims her account has "hacked".

15. Further investigation shows that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn was not the innocent victim of a hack, but that the post was made from her account intentionally, as she responded to her friend's comments on the post.

16. It's then discovered that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn's son has a Facebook friend with a very prominent role within this story which may cast light on the motives behind the fake post.

17. It's… Matt Hancock's account!!!

In summary: it appears that the actual Health Minister of the British Government has not only fabricated a "punch" to deflect the heat from his boss, but, after being found out the first time, he *may* have used his friend's Facebook account to circulate another entirely fabricated story to try and smear his political opponents.

Corbyn lies as well as Boris.  Take this 500 million figure that Corbyn loves to spout all the time regarding the U.S. trade deal and the NHS drugs bill.  It's complete nonsense.  What he has done is taken the total NHS drug budget and applied the U.S. drug costs to it.  But we only get about 9% of our drugs from the U.S. and 90% from the EU.  In other words the budget increase would be about one tenth of what Corbyn says.  A deal with the U.S. will not impact the price of drugs from the EU.  It'a a blatant lie by Corbyn and he knows it.
