The @UKLabour Party is not tearing itself apart in the real world. Only in the media bubble is the party in crisis – not in the pubs in places like Birkenhead where the majority of people support Jeremy Corbyn. #WeStandWithCorbyn #BackNECcode.

Got a letter today. It was addressed to "The Occupier". So I forwarded it to the Israeli Embassy. Criticism of Netanyahu's Israel is a moral imperative for all decent people. Do not be silenced. #BackNECcode.

We should #BackNECcode of conduct on antisemitism because it: .- Clearly distinguishes between antisemitism and criticism of Israel.- Permits free speech on political ideology of Zionism that is not antisemitic.- Is rigorous, clearly worded and will stand up in court.

Baroness Chakrabarti wrote a working Definition of Antisemitism which received much acclaim. Surely this should be endorsed by the @UKLabour Party, with no need to add examples from an old document whose author says should not even be in the #IHRA definition. #BackNECcode.

We've done it! The Scottish Parliament have decided that Mountain Hares are now to receive protected status - effectively ending unnecessary mass culls and the sport shooting of them. That's one part of the circle of destruction of grouse moors broken. Fantastic news! . #OurMoors

#SocialistSunday is the opportunity to connect with fellow socialists by following and following back, and much more. As @TheLuckyHeron says, it's been the best UK #hashtag of 2018. .
For its impact, its awareness raising, it's network building, it's promotion of left wing media and because it's helped to reclaim the word 'Socialist' from those who would use it as an insult, #SocialistSunday is the best UK #hashtag of 2018. Agree? RT 💚.
