Given the prolific amount of information we leave about ourselves on social media, the time must come when candidates be subjected to that due diligence to uncover what they have said or written or approved of in the past. Even if she is not anti-semitic, to approve of that kind of statement is not 'radical chic', it is brainless. And if she acts without thinking first, how can she be fit to be an MP? Peterborough Labour Party has had, shall we say, an 'interesting' approach to election organization in recent years, and their scrape through last Thursday can not hide the serious problems this party has with Corbyn as leader.
