Jewish political power in Britain

The Labor MP who suggested that Matthew Gould was an inappropriate British ambassador to Israel, because he was Jewish, should start preparing for his "retirement", said the chair of the All-party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism. Paul Flynn, who represents the Newport West constituency, suggested that Britain's first Jewish envoy to Israel had divided loyalties and that the position should be filled by someone with roots in Britain. His remarks were heavily criticized by the Foreign Office and MPs from across the political spectrum. John Mann, also a Labor MP and the chair of the group on antisemitism, said he was in no doubt "that when candidates are selected for parliamentary constituencies under new boundaries that Paul Flynn will be summarily retired". In other words, the Jews will do whatever they can to put an end to the political careers of anyone who criticizes them.
