Ninety peers call for Baroness Tonge to issue unqualified apology for blaming Corbyn defeat on Israel

[Telegraph.UK. $$ to read further]

Nearly 90 peers from the main political parties are calling for Baroness Tonge to apologise for claiming that the Tories won the general election due to Israeli attacks on Jeremy Corbyn.

The letter, from an "unprecedented" number of former cabinet ministers, senior lawyers and leaders of industry and commerce, calls on Lady Tonge to apologise for bringing the House of Lords into disrepute over the remarks.

Lady Tonge, a former Liberal Democrat MP, wrote on social media after the result last week: "The Chief Rabbi must be dancing in the street. The pro-Israel lobby won our General Election by lying about Jeremy Corbyn."

Oh my dear, whatever gave you the idea that this was primarily about Israel for even all of Britain’s Jews? BoJo was pro-Brexit, and so, for different reasons, was the corrupt and vicious Corbyn, which left nobody for the Remainers to vote for. And there were so very many reasons to vote against Mr. Corbyn or stay home, so Bob’s your uncle.

#3 Wiki: Critical of Israel and vocal in support of the Palestinian cause, controversial acts and comments led to accusations of antisemitism and to her eventual suspension from the Liberal Democrats group in the Lords in 2012, then her suspension and resignation from the party itself in October 2016. She has sat as an independent in the Lords since 2012.

My only regret is that they were really big and tasted like chicken. Hey, you don't suppose the Juice had anything to do with that asteroid impact, do you?
