I like how MPs all see to think they’re elected on the basis of their sparkling personality and charisma and not for the rosette pinned on their jacket.
Did she voluntarily resign? Or was she pushed out?
From the 3rd October:
Activists in a branch of Louise Ellman's Liverpool Riverside constituency will debate a motion of no confidence in her next Tuesday - the evening of Yom Kippur.
It follows her outspoken attacks on Jeremy Corbyn's attempts to stamp out anti-semitism in the Labour Party.
The motion says: "We have no confidence that our MP Louise Ellman will carry out the wishes of our CLP (Constituency Labour Party) and our Riverside constituency or that she will follow Labour Party policy.
"This branch therefore call on our Riverside MP, Louise Ellman, to resign."
Commenting on the attempts to force out Ms Ellman, who has represented her constituency since 1997, Marie van der Zyl , president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: “That a Jewish MP should be threatened with a vote of no confidence tabled for Yom Kippur – the holiest day in the Jewish calendar when she has no opportunity even to respond – ought to be a source of deep shame for the Labour Party.

It's not so much the Labour Party is anti Jewish, rather anti Israel ,as it has become pro West
In the days when Israel was pro Soviet Union, the anti English ,Celtic Labour Party was all over them
Basically part of the anyone but England mantra. Surprised Jews do not see this

Nice dogma but that’s not how it plays out is it? How it plays out is in disgusting vile racist persecution which goes unchecked.

It was always a puzzle why Jewish immigrants gravitated towards the Labour Party, given the Moscow show trials n'all

'Louise Joyce Rosenberg was born in Manchester to an observant Jewish family. Her father had a Lithuanian background.'
It should be a matter of deep shame why the Tory Party does not attract such a woman
Instead of making anti Corbyn pronouncements Tory party members should treat this moment for a time of reflection on this
