Pity poor old Tom Bower. The second part of the Mail on Sunday's serialisation of his almost completely ignored book on Jeremy Corbyn deals with the hoary old chestnut of anti-Semitism.
Yet it appears at the end of the week when there turned out to have been a mere thousand complaints, four in 10 of them against people who were not even in the Labour Party, and one in five from the same Barking woman, who is a Corbyn-hating fanatic of more than 30 years' standing.
It was she, in fact, who was responsible for the children's homes child abuse that they are trying to pin on Corbyn, since she was the Leader of Islington Council at the time.
As for the Churchill-inspired stuff from Andrew Neil, Andrew Roberts, and so on, the most sickening affectation of all is that they respected some past version of the Labour Party.
Everything, absolutely everything, that they are now saying against Corbyn and John McDonnell, they have also said against the Labour Party at every point in the past. Including against Tony Blair.
And including while the Soviet Union still existed, while China was still what it claimed to be, and while the Troubles in Northern Ireland were still going on.
