But with the DUP, as seems likely, I can't see it. I think there will be another election before the years out. I think I have been proved right about Teresa May. I never felt she was the strong leader some said. God help us!

Also in 2016, fifty Labour MPs and counsellors were suspended for anti-semitism. To date, no one has been sacked from the party. The highest-profile figure was former London Mayor Ken Livingstone. Having been suspended for a year, Corbyn just suspended him for a further year. If Corbyn doesn't practice what he preaches on anti-semitism, why should we believe him when he says he will help the poor, or the disabled, or the workers? As we head into an election on June 8th., the two principle criticisms being made of Labour are the anti-semitism, and Corbyn's weak leadership.
