JVL Introduction
Shaun Lawson expresses his disappointment with Luciana Berger.
Absolutely in solidarity with her against the disgusting abuse she has received, he finds her general politics simply inadequate to the needs of our time and believes she is only motivated by a desire to bring Corbyn down….

Hello Luciana

You can’t trust the Lib Dems – vote Labour.
– Luciana Berger 21 May 2014.
You may have deleted it from your website Luciana, but oh, the wayback machine.
Thanks for finding this it’s now on the JVL Facebook page
A brilliant letter which needed to be written.
Sadly she probably won’t read this, but it needed to be said and said by someone who can say it from a Jewish viewpoint.
behaviour of Berger, Mann, Austin, Hodge and others is vile and deceitful.
Nailed it Shaun, with courtesy, humour and above all, facts! Thank you so much
Thank you Shaun. You should send it to the BoD and the JC as well
wow that was extrodinary and heartfelt and true!
Tottaly and utterly agree with your letter. It makes me feel very sad that people like Luciana go into politics for their own personal gain when we desperately need politicians like Corbyn who will fight for the forgotten people of our nation. What a waste of a seat in Parliament 🙁

I found it a couple of weeks ago.
Just after I started posting the URL in the Independent, it vanished from her website.
A tab embarrassing.
An excellent post by Shaun Lawson. I agree with everything he says and admire him for speaking so openly. Labour deserves better representation than the Luciana Bergers of this world who betray those constituants who vote for them.
Off topic I know but I found this meme on Dorset eye.

Well written and very helpful for people on the doorstep when we’re out canvassing in Totnes. Fortunately not so much AS down here because they’re more concerned about the climate and brexit but nevertheless we need this information.
A wonderful timely piece, which I have managed to include in a comment to a piece on Luciana in the online Liberal Democrat Voice: https://www.libdemvoice.org/watch-luciana-berger-describe-her-experience-of-antisemitic-abuse-in-the-labour-party-62634.html#comments
So @ Margaret Johnson, even if Luciana doesn’t read it others who matter will have. My colleague Jonathan Coulter, co-author of ‘Journalists, check your evidence on Antisemitism’ and a number of others have also been fighting an uphill battle to influence our leadership to look at the facts, and display integrity. The acceptance of this comment is almost unbelievable,
as it also includes the link to Luciana’s 2014 “you can’t trust the Lib Dems – vote Labour ” piece. Thanks to @ different frank.
Any anti-Semitic or other hate-based abuse Luciana Berger has received should be investigated & the perpetrators held to account, but when Margaret Hodge sent in 200 complaints to Jenny Formby it turned out that 90% were from non-Labour Party members. Is this the same for Luciana Berger and how many are just political disagreements? After all in politics there is always going to be conflict. That’s why it’s politics.
