Ok, the problem as I see it is this 1. A horrendous genocide is taking place right now in Gaza 2. Our government, the opposition, and the media support the perpetrators 3. The government and opposition are clamping down on civil liberties and whipping up racism What do we do?

Russia announced today that starting immediately, they will begin selling natural gas to ‘unfriendly countries’ in Rubles. This is a far bigger development than is being reported. 🧵

I see England fans dressed up as crusaders - whose main claim to fame was rampaging and pillaging in the Middle East. How is that different from if German supporters had dressed up in SS uniforms?

@JasonReidUK It's true Corbyn would have dealt with it infinitely better but we would not have had the current situation for comparison. Instead, we would have had wall-to-wall media coverage on how many deaths he'd caused & Jones, Novara and the rest would have been telling us has to go.

@BenJolly9 Lol, I can't remember ever thinking that. I came in for some stick on here for trying to point out she wasn't. These people never learn though. Thornberry 'disappoints', they attach themselves to Rayner. Rayner disappoints, they attach themselves to Butler, and do on

British left realises all over again (for the umpteenth time) that the bourgeois media serves the bourgeois state. I suppose it will be forgotten soon - until next time when there will be amazed exclamations, once again, of 'good grief, this isn't journalism!'

This is such a dangerous and disingenuous framing. To “both sides” a pogrom is a fundamental failure of journalism.

Obviously Momentum isn't there to get the Labour Party to support the masses. It's there to get the masses to support the Labour Party Not to push Labour to the left but to push the left to Labour (at least in terms of time and energy - obviously they can't actually *join* 😂)

@SkyeCity_ Some of the Labour left don't seem to grasp its importance either. They seem to think it's on a par with - or not as important as - calling people names

Maybe my imagination but I'm detecting a disturbing shift in emphasis in leftist comments on the #LabourLeaks - people are more and more going on about disrespectful language. The point is they were being paid to work for Labour but rooting for the Tories. All else is secondary.

Important to understand: Starmer got *hundreds of thousands* fewer votes than Corbyn did in 2019 (and millions fewer than Corbyn did in 2017) However, he is going to be PM because the Tories got *seven million* fewer votes than they did in 2019 Both major parties lost support

@alon_mizrahi @MiddleEastViews You have to understand that the governments of all countries the West decides to attack become equivalent to the Nazis.

Can all those comrades who were backing @IanLaveryMP so strongly please, please, please follow his advice and get behind @RLong_Bailey She may not have been your first choice but she is clearly the best of the candidates - and there is a gaping chasm between her and next best!

Labour exceptionalism rears its ugly head again. The day the left talks about Labour the way it talks about other bourgeois parties is the day it will have made some progress.

Labour must stop the funding of Labour MPs by the Israeli lobby. And Labour Friends of Israel Must be Proscribed as a genocide enabler.. Who agrees?

@Jonathan_K_Cook When he invites any pro-Palestinian person on, it is to treat them as if they are on trial. The same goes for any Western mainstream media or analysis
