  1. Labour has always had interest groups within it. They range from Labour Friends of Israel, through Christian, Hindu, Muslim groups, Labour Friends of Palestine to the Institute of Workers Control and Blue Labour. All of them are legitimate lobby groups because they are composed of people who are, in the first place, supporters of the Labour Party and promote their specific aims as an adjunct to that support. But the Jewish Labour Movement, of which Akehurst is a member, is a very different creature indeed. It is financed by the Jewish National Fund (the organisation that funds the illegal settlements) and has no interest whatsoever in supporting Labour Party aims in general. It exists purely for the purpose of suborning Social Democratic parties to Israeli interests. It is just as entryist as Militant Tendency with the subtle difference that it has been successful. If you are right, Damien (and you usually are), this is a very sinister development indeed. It signals that the Labour Party is now a party which is fully under external control. When it's not serving the interests of its rich new donors or doing Genocide Joe's bidding, it's taking its orders directly from the JLM. Sad days!

  3.  @Trebor1172  Quite right. But that is the point. The groups I listed are, at least in theory, interest groups. There is an argument to be made against them but they have existed for decades. The Jewish Labour Movement on the other hand, is indeed a lobby group and membership is incompatible with elected office.
