Garbageperson Corbyn? The Jeremy Corbyn who spaffed up and 80 seat majority to the fucking Tories, and ruined the Labour party with overt and unrestrained antisemitism, that Corbyn? The Corbyn who is now, due to his intransigence, not only no longer allowed to serve as a Labour MP, not even allowed to run for office again as a Labour MP. lol. Fuck that guy.

He was targeted and kicked out by the neolibs because they were terrified of him leading Labour to victory, buddy. "Overt and unrestrained antisemitism"? You are clearly a troll. Starmer kicked MPs out of Labour for showing up with Leftist movie director Ken Laoch. It's ridiculous. Starmer's anti-Leftist Labour will drive people to right-wing populists, just like Macron in France.
Fuck Corbyn? Dude's a hero and exactly what's needed. Peddle your trash elsewhere
Edit: Adding this link from an actual Leftist publication. Taking him down was a hatchet job pure and simple. Starmer is the devil and his only job is to keep any significant change to the economic order from occurring.

"The report found that Labour’s processes for handling antisemitism complaints were lacking. Its structures were too weak, they were subject to political pressures, under-resourced, and lacked proper guidance. Its staff had not had access to appropriate training. The most damning finding — of harassment — related to two cases where representatives of the party, former mayor Ken Livingstone and a Lancashire councillor, had made antisemitic comments. The report criticized the Corbyn leadership for its lack of effectiveness in dealing with these matters, but it did not make sweeping claims about their complicity in antisemitism.
"Jeremy Corbyn’s response to the report was equally sober. He acknowledged the report’s criticisms, encouraged the swift implementation of its findings, and offered an apology to Jewish members whose complaints had been mishandled. “Jewish members of our party and the wider community were right to expect us to deal with it,” he said, “and I regret that it took longer to deliver that change than it should.”
"As one would expect, he also defended his record. Many of the processes criticized, Corbyn pointed out, predated his leadership — something which the report itself acknowledges — and were replaced by more robust procedures after 2018. He didn’t accept all of its findings, but that is hardly a surprise for a critical report running to 129 pages that dealt with such a controversial topic."
Per this article:
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/opendemocracy/
"The allegations against Corbyn and the Labour party are underpinned by an almost comical paucity of evidence, while what evidence does exist not only fails to justify the claims being made, but has itself been systematically misrepresented. There is no grounds for supposing either that antisemitism is significant within the Labour party, or that its prevalence is increasing."
So I would disagree with your framing of Corbyn as an antisemite and in regards to the article I think that helping children out of poverty is a good thing.
