I agree. This is an appalling antisemitic attack line. This Tory campaign has been nothing short of shambolic.

Desperate if you ask me. Also plenty will be smirking at Tories bemoaning finishing work at 6pm on Fridays given their recent history of partying and dodgy dealing DURING the working day!

Aye this coming from the government who had pissups in Downing St every Friday night during lockdown!

Not sure I’d say it’s anti semitic. Just opportunistic, ill judged …. and silly. Smacks of desperation I think.

I think it was caused through ignorance rather than outright malice towards any Jewishness, but ultimately it was an attack on Starmer for this when his reasoning was because of his Jewish wife. I would say it’s still antisemitism when it’s an incident of ignorance and dim thinking, and even if there are worse examples.

Desperate stuff from a desperate party, they have conned the public many times over the years but not during this election campaign, they have just been pathetic. Sums them up really.

So the moral for us all seems to be engage brain before operating mouth (or pen or keyboard.)

Well yes, though views on whether or not there was intentional antisemitism are merely that unless some evidence emerges that it was (I.e. a verified email or text between Conservative party comms staff, for instance).

Whoah, hold hard, how’s that supposed to fit Gurney’s narrative??

One thing that indicates lack of intentional antisemitism is that anything linked to Jewishness wasn’t mentioned. They likely heard him say he would have some time off and a spark went for a desperate attack line.

At this point, they are throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks. Including how Labour will force you to abandon your cats and dogs and Worzel Gummidge coming out of his long holiday to bluster with his faux-Shakespearean tome.

‘Including how Labour will force you to abandon your cats and dogs’

Result! One less dependent is just what I need. And a cuppa tea and a slice o’ cake.

They could round up all those cats and dogs and send them on a plane to Rwanda.
