In a week of continued disarray for the Conservatives over Brexit divisions and a number of very tight government victories (and one defeat on the European Medicines Agency) , it should be surprising that there seemed to be more attacks on the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.

The most recent chapter of this long running saga "erupted" when the Labour leadership decided to uphold their complete definition of anti-antisemitism. It led Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP for Barking, calling him a "fucking anti-Semitic racist" to his face. 

Their definition has diverged from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, particularly on criticism of Israel.

It has been a weakness for Labour for some time, as the media and rebellious Labour backbenchers attack the leadership over their alleged lack of effort in combating antisemitism in the party.

Fortunately for Labour, the wider electorate do not seem to have been too heavily influenced by this as Labour are now consistently enjoying their largest lead in the polls for some time...
