I've been on Twitter / X a long time & have had my fair share of Twitter trolls especially when a Tweet gets retreated over 3,000 times. Yet I've never seen nor blocked as many racists as those targeting my Tweet defending Diane Abbott today.
Where is this coming from?

I'm so glad I voted Green last week.
Honestly, UK Labour's latest recruit voted to make abortion a criminal offence in Northern Ireland.
If this were the States, Elphicke would support Trump.
In 2020, Natalie Elphicke voted to make abortion a *criminal offence* in Northern Ireland.
Keir Starmer has now welcomed her into Labour.

No one thought more about it until yesterday when news was published in the local paper that the highly respected long serving Labour leader of Stroud District Council was told she was declined as unsuitable from the Labour parliamentary long list to run as the next Stroud MP.

Don't say we didn't warn you. It was clear as day that once in Government Wes Streeting would further privatise the NHS.
And today Streeting confirms UK Department of Health will now focus on economic growth and become an "economic growth department"......

This is how UK media works in a nutshell - staggering media bias 24/7 month after month, year after year. This is how Labour lost the 2019 election. The public was poisoned against him and anyone who says anything different has enabled an even weaker Electoral Commission.

actually tries to defend the indefensible here- a coordinated playbook of the right with pejorative photoshop of Jeremy Corbyn in Russia. Evan appears to believes this is impartial reporting? No dear it is crude propaganda.

Shocked, appalled by Guardian hit piece editorial on UN, Israel & Gaza. Not only fails to defend UN Secretary General's speech, says it was poorly drafted? Concludes the UN is dysfunctional? Dreadful analysis. Shameful bias to ultra-right Israeli state.

247! Jo's time in Govt betrayed women, children, disabled, poor,sick. Jo said she had no choice but to vote for austerity. No choice? She has a choice now to do the right thing
#StopNoDealBrexit
yet remains a coward
MPs from several parties have said they will not support Jeremy Corbyn as PM, so we know he cannot command support in Parliament. If he is unwilling to get behind another candidate, then he risks delivering the no-deal Brexit he claims he wants to stop.

And that is a concern for everyone in the country not just the people in Stroud.

This is where I live. Myself & others witnessed 1st hand the bullies, the powerful factional Labour right clique willfully sabotaging locally elected politicians. If Labour Cllrs had not resigned Labour to be independents in coalition with Greens, we’d have a Tory-led council.
Last year Starmer’s Labour told its cllrs in Stroud that if they continued in 10 year old coalition with Greens they would be expelled. Only options for those Lab Cllrs were to obey & see Tory minority admin take charge, OR resign Lab & work with greens as indies. They did latter

For some time I've argued Keir Starmer has no leadership skills. Obviously, we don't want another Tory Govt, but Starmer cannot be trusted to do the right thing either. His reversal of every pledge he made to get elected was a red flag long before he praised Margaret Thatcher.👇
On Saturday, Keir Starmer praised Thatcher for unleashing “our natural entrepreneurialism” and bringing “meaningful change”. At a dinner in Glasgow last night he accused her of doing “huge damage,” adding he “profoundly” disagreed with her policies. 🤔

BBC keeps saying they will shortly interview George Galloway in Rochdale and we can see the cameraman jostling to get in front. However, Galloway moves away ignoring the BBC and speaks to the other media outlets. Such scenes.

Today Guardian uses a photo of the peaceful Gaza cease-fire-now protest in London with a news article warning of a UK terrorist threat and a COBRA meeting! I'm now seriously concerned as to whether the Israeli state is controlling the Guardian editors.

For the next days I'll continue tweeting & retweeting everything to do with Matt Hancock's epic medical data steal from 55 million UK people & his enforcing NHS digital to not inform or warn NHS patients on how to opt out by June 23.

Other excuses were later made for Starmer’s failure to publicise his first visit to Stroud. Stroud is where the climate activists, Extinction Rebellion was founded and the Ecocide organisation, both now international organisations. Perhaps Starmer feared a climate protest.
