Why post this article targeting one party when this one is much more broad

Or the full list of MPs

Probably because this says much more about Labour than about other parties in UK, considering how they continously move further right and fabricated antisemitism accusations to purge party.

Your addition is good though.

The party that kicked members out for claiming that Israel influenced politics in the UK is hilariously influenced by Israel.

It's crazy how scared neolibs were of an actual socialist (Jeremy Corbyn) getting near the levers of power.

I’m neither British nor living in Britain but that was sad to see. It was clearly a smear against a man by vested interests.
