Once again Steve Bannon has been given a platform on British television. This time by Piers Morgan and Good Morning Britain.
Make no mistake Fascism and White supremacy are being normalized by our national media.
Frank Field has repeatedly wrote for the S*n and has repeatedly praised Thatcher despite representing an area of Merseyside.
He was facing deselection from his CLP over his propping up of the Tories Hard Brexit.
Very few of us in Merseyside Labour will miss him that’s for sure.
Owen Smith was not sacked from the Shadow Cabinet because he is a Remainer. Owen Smith was sacked because he clearly breached the code of collective responsibility.
Chris Williamson who is a Corbynite also broke the code of Collective Responsibility and was also duly sacked.
Shame on the BBC for providing Steve Bannon with a platform on Newsnight to spout his disgusting Far-right views and lies.
The British public don't need White Supremacist filth broadcasting poison into their homes.
#newsnight
The nerve of Corbyn. Correctly pointing out that the Tory Party is on the take from Russian Oligarchs to the tune of 3 million pounds.
All this barely a month after they libelled and smeared him as a spy for the Eastern Block as well.
What a disgrace. 🙄
Make no mistake renationalisation of the East Coast mainline is quite a major victory for Corbyn and Labour.
Equally it is yet another humiliation for the Tories. It is further proof that the Free market on our Railways has completely failed.
It's time to Nationalise the lot.
Jeremy Corbyn must be pissing himself laughing at how genuinely awful and incompetent all of these Tory leadership contenders are.
Whoever wins will be crushed by Labour at the next General Election.
#C4Debate
Yesterday we had a Nick Cohen article in the Guardian comparing Momentum to Stalinists. Today we've had Toby Young comparing Momentum to Neo-Nazi sect Britain First. Quite a lot of hyperbolic nonsense about an organization of Young People who just want to see some positive change
Eddie Izzard belongs to a different tradition in the Labour Party than me but I'll gladly defend him from the disgusting Transphobes of the Tory Party and the Neo-Fascist Con artists of Vote Leave.
Diversity is Labour's strength and always will be.
Important to remember tonight that as horrific as the details of Yellowhammer are they are a best case scenario for a No Deal Brexit.
Worst Case scenario for No Deal is contained in documents known as Black Swan which the Govt is refusing to release.

@BBCSport
He's exercising his freedom of choice not to wear a Poppy as is his right.
As somebody from an Irish immigrant family I am fed up of this anti-Irish dog whistling and demonizing of James McClean year after year.
@teatuahere
My full solidarity with the Tahitian and Marshallese peoples who still have to deal with the Nuclear waste, fallout & the environmental degradation caused by US and French colonialism.
It’s shameful how little of this history is actually taught and known in the US and Europe.
Well done to Owen Jones for calling out that ridiculous and propagandistic BBC Newsnight background that superimposed Corbyn in front of the Kremlin in a Russian Hat.
Evan Davis just sat there and sniggered.
#newsnight
In the 1970’s and 80’s the Tories openly supported the Apartheid regime and considered Nelson Mandela to be a terrorist.
Jeremy Corbyn meanwhile was getting arrested for demanding his release from Robben Island.
He’s consistently been on the right side of History.
"I think you know full well I didn’t go on protests."
@Theresa_May
is questioned by
@MichaelLCrick
about her stance on apartheid ahead of her visit to Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned.
I've just watched David Lammy and Dianne Abbot absolutely tear Amber Rudd a new one in Parliament over the disgusting Windrush scandal.
I Highly recommended that People watch it. Coming from an immigrant background myself it is realy Powerful Stuff.
Owen Jones has just handed BBC News it's backside.
He called them out for leading on the rediculous story in the Times that tries to desperately link the Labour leadership and membership with a handful of disgusting anti-Semitic Online Trolls.
It was wonderful to watch.
British Rail was cheap and efficient and most of its faults were due to deliberate under funding by the Thatcher and Major Govt's to make it ripe for Privatization.
It's time to Nationalise the Rail and end the current Shambolic farce.
#bbcqt
Corbyn has delivered a 3rd pasting to May at PMQ's in the space of Three weeks.
He annihilated her on Privitisation and Outsourcing and on the NHS.
May's endless habit of blaming past Labour govt's for Tory failure and not bothering to answer questions is realy tiresome.
#PMQs
Boris Johnson is a buffoon and a Sexist pig who can't stand Emily Thornberry wiping the floor with him week after week in the commons. Well done to the speaker John Bercow for calling him out on it.
@Oliver__Bond
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are made for each other. I've never had more faith in him. The present may belong to Madrid and it will hurt for a bit but the future is definitely LFC's for the taking. We are back at the Top Table of football and everyone else knows it.
Theresa May disgusts me.
She lied about Landing Cards being destroyed by Labour and lied about Albert Thompson receiving Cancer treatment. Then utilising claims of anti Semitism for political gain.
The sooner this vile, vapid and racist Woman is no longer PM the better.
#pmqs
The state of Non Jews calling Left-wing Jews anti-Semitic tonight really is something else.
Jewdas are an anti-Fascist, Socialist organisation who vehemently oppose racism and anti-Semitism.
Those who try to marginalise Left-wing Jewish groups are the real anti-Semites.
Why does Theresa May endlessly bring up the last Labour Government in PMQs?. Corbyn did not participate or serve in any Cabinet of Tony Blair or Gordon Brown so why she thinks she can damage him by association is beyond me.
#PMQs
Can the Beeb arrange for Andrew Neil to interview this Greta Thunberg character? Because afterwards I guarantee we’ll never hear from her again. She may even have a meltdown on national telly into the bargain.
I see the establishment is up to its old tricks.
Like with Hillsborough there is now an attempt to attack and smear those who tried to save lives during the appalling Grenfel Fire.
Lets be clear. Those firefighters are heroes and any attempt to blame them is sick beyond words.
@jeremycorbyn
The comments here from the FBPE cult are disgraceful. They don't seem to think the lives of the Chinese Cockle Pickers who lost their lives at Morecambe Bay in 2004 actually mattered.
If a Conservative chancellor raising Corporation Tax effectively in line with Labour's 2019 manifesto proposals isn't proof enough that Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell effectively changed the nature of the debate around politics and economics in this country then nothing is.
Barry Gardiner is absolutely spot on. Parliament should have a say on Syria. The Tories are trying to bypass Parliament because they know that without a majority military action has a good chance of being blocked.
#bbcqt
Sajid Javid, the man who called Momentum a ''Neo Fascist group'' in the House of Commons is now the new Home Secretary.
The Government is literally rotting right before our eyes and Theresa May is now at her weakest and most vulnerable since the General Election last year.
For those who don’t have an understanding of Spanish Darwin is standing in solidarity with local players in Uruguay going on strike to demand better pay and conditions.
Love it. 👏👏
The state of the media still pushing the fake Corbyn Spy story. Here are the facts.
1: It has been categorically debunked by the Czechs.
2: Corbyn is a member of the Privy council and would have been comprehensively vetted by Britain Security services before becoming a member.
The Question Time audience are calling for Greater Regulation, Rent Controls, Ending right to buy and calling for Councils to be able to borrow to build Social Housing. If I was the Tories I would be very, very worried. Britain is turning to the Left on Housing.
#bbcqt
Good on Laura Pidcock for calling out the totally bollocks assertion from the question time audience member that Labour wants to abolish the army. The Tories have totally gutted the army.
#bbcqt
Novichok, the chemical agent used in Salisbury, is known to have been exported illegally by Criminal elements following the chaos that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Corbyn and President Macron of France are right in demanding more evidence.
Caught up with Question Time.
The abuse Dianne Abbot received was utterly horrendous and I express my complete solidarity with her.
If it’s true that BBC staff were trying to gee up the audience by making jokes about her beforehand it must be thoroughly investigated.
#bbcqt
@laher11
Full solidarity from a Liverpool supporter. This seems to be the experience of many up and down the country by the hierarchies of the clubs and the FA.
Total repression against any expression of solidarity with Palestine.
@UtdNowAndAlways
The death of an extremely old woman isn’t remotely comparable to the unlawful killing of 97 of our supporters who went to a football game and never returned.
Beneath contempt that you’d invoke Hillsborough just to make a point.
Once again so called "Rebel Tories" feted by FBPE voted with the govt against ammendments designed to prevent a Hard Brexit.
Corbyn's Labour meanwhile voted for these ammendments and for a meaningful parliamentary vote.
Its time for FBPE to realise who its true enemy really is.
I’m now glad that Robbie Keane’s time with the Reds was a short and largely irrelevant one.
Taking money from a brutal Apartheid regime is utterly despicable & ruins any positive legacy he has with Ireland & his former Clubs.
Solidarity with the Palestinian People always. 🇵🇸✌️
The Lib Dem Membership took one look at Jo Swinson’s disastrous leadership of their party and decided they wanted yet another Austerity backing Orange Booker from the coalition era to lead them.
They are well and truly finished.
I agree that Labour needs to sort out the issue of anti-Semitism but to say that Corbyn obsessively criticizes Israel and not other middle Eastern states is wrong. He is also quite vocal about Saudi Arabia and its Barbaric War on Yemen.

Because we don’t like the establishment and regularly boo GSTQ at cup finals.
People can’t tolerate democracy or difference of opinion when it comes to the Monarchy.
@labour_history
History has proven Tony Benn correct. Right to Buy has been an unmitigated disaster that has created the conditions for gentrification and social cleansing of communities and lack of proper affordable housing.
Chuka Ummuna clearly doesn’t want a General Election.
He wants a No Confidence motion now because he knows that without DUP support that it would fail and it would bind Labour’s hand to the so called “Peoples Vote”.
This is a strategy of miserable failure and ineptitude.
#Marr
Dennis Skinner is the longest continuously serving Labour Party MP and a National Treasure.
The fact that he's never been afraid to call out rotten Tories for what they are for nearly 50 years is part of the reason why we all love him so much.
Barry Gardiner is spot on. Anti-Semitism is a Cancer and will be eradicated from Labour. However it is totally wrong to make out as if Labour is the only party with racists and anti-Semites within it. We also should not take lectures from the Tories on racism.
#bbcqt
Laura Pidcock absolutely dominated Question Time tonight and the audience by and large mostly agreed with her. Tories should be very, very worried about the deep resentment felt by voters about the total lack of affordable Housing.
#bbcqt
We've already brought over 400 former IS fighters back from Syria and nobody seems to want to talk about them. Whatever one thinks of the Begum case its quite clear that Javid is opportunistically singling her out in order to boost his chances at the Tory leadership.
#bbcqt
Labour on course for Govt with 339 seats at the the next GE if this Poll is accurate. That's a majority of 13 seats which is even bigger than what Cameron got in 2015.
Anyone still peddling the nonsense trope that ''Corbyn is unelectable'' deserves to be laughed at.
Dreadful interviewing by Andrew Marr.
Some of us would have actually liked to have seen Shami Chakrabarti be able to answer a question rather than being constantly interrupted.
#Marr
Michael Gove having a car crash on Marr trying to explain why the Tories propped up the Far-right, anti-Semitic govt of Hungarian PM Viktor Orban in the European Parliament.
#Marr
Considering we are fully funded by our members and have none of the massive Billionaire and Corporate donors the Tories have this is quite a feat for Labour.
People power is quite a thing to behold. As is our very large party membership.
So Downing Street, France, Britain and the USA are going to take the diplomatic, evidence based route as suggested by...... Jeremy Corbyn. Will they be branded Putin apologists and Hard Left extremists as well?.
No 10 releases joint statement from UK, US , Germany and France calling on Russia to explain itself and provide full details of Novichock programme to OPCW, chemical weapons watchdog
I'm glad I watched BBC Question time tonight. Watching slime ball Chris Leslie get absolutely rinsed by Andy MacDonald was wonderful. So far the first few days of the new IG have been a total and complete Car Crash.

From more than 40 years ago Pre-Thatcher and Pre-Hillsborough.
You'll never see a union flag on the Kop these days given what the British state has done to our City and People.
An easy win for Corbyn again.
I've got to say that PMQ's has become quite pitiful to watch.
Once again Jeremy led on Brexit and once again our weak Tory PM was flailing around like a fish out of Water just flat out refusing to answer any questions.
It's quite pathetic.
#PMQs
There is no Corbyn/Starmer conflict.
Jeremy is correct in asserting that Labour by itself cannot stop Brexit.
Keir is correct in asserting that all options are on the table once the Tory deal is voted down.
Neither statements contradict each other or official Labour policy.
Farage asserting that Yellowhammer is "project fear" and touting himself as some expert on international trade.
The man is a disgrace who doesn't care about what his extreme Right-wing fantasy would mean for the poorest and most vulnerable in Britain.
#Peston
Chanting Liverpool through the dirge and then Fuck the Tories and Stick the Coronation up yet Arse afterwards.
Love my City and Love my Club.
Very proud Scouser. ❤️
I’m going to come straight out and say it now because I’m at the end of my tether with them.
The SNP, the Green Party and the Liberal Democrat’s are opportunists who want to destroy any chance of a No confidence motion succeeding in actually bringing the Tory govt down.
Good to see Jeremy Corbyn focused on Poverty, Foodbanks, Universal Credit and Homelessness at PMQ's today.
We've become consumed by every minutiae of the Tories Brexit dysfunction so it's important that bread and butter issues get heard especially in the run up to Xmas.
#PMQs
Good. In light of the Conservatives previous attempt to keep him in the dark over the Salisbury incident this is the correct course of action for him to take.
As Leader of the Opposition he should be entitled to a Complete Intelegence Briefing from the government over Syria.
Yet another very easy victory for Jeremy Corbyn at PMQ's today.
Theresa May went into full Maybot mode and just simply withered away under questioning about Brexit and the non existent Brexit white paper.
Her government is a decaying corpse and Tory Civil War now beckons.
#PMQs
@Jeremy_Hunt
Vietnam, Chile, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh.
A list of countries nearly destroyed by the actions of Henry Kissinger.
He is a monster who should be in the dock at The Hague awaiting trial so I’m not surprised that the Tories are sucking up to him.
Emily Thornberry is pulling no punches from the start.
Can't really argue against the assertion that the Tory government is callous and incompetent.
#bbcqt
It's certainly strange to see the SNP siding with the Tories on Russiagate whilst a very ardent Conservative Right-winger like Hitchen's stridently defends Corbyn's diplomatic stance. Very strange times we live in.
#bbcqt
The corrupt Right-wing government of PM Mariano Rajoy's Partido Popular has just lost a vote of no confidence in Spain.
It is going to be replaced by a center-Left government of PSOE supported by Podemos.
Here's hoping that Britain can boot the Tories out in similar fashion.
Well said Jeremy.
Yesterday a massacre took place when Israeli forces engaged in the
Sniping of protesting Palestinian Kids.
It was a terrible slaughter worse than Bloody Sunday yet our Tory government has doffed it's cap to Trump and Netanyahu and said and done nothing.
The killing and wounding by Israeli forces of civilians demonstrating for Palestinian rights in Gaza is appalling.
The UK Government must make its voice heard on the urgency of a genuine settlement for peace and justice.
Labour comprehensively winning a Council By Election in the Peoples Republic of Merseyside is absolutely no surprise to us Scousers.
That said having an increased share of the vote always warms my heart. 😊
Funny how it wasn’t Labour who lost The AAA credit rating & quadrupled the national debt.
Funny how Labour didn’t stage an EU Referendum that has led to a run on the pound and major businesses fleeing to the continent in droves.
All that is under the Tories.
Own your failure.
This is exactly why I think Labour's current Brexit strategy is spot on. Intolerant, abusive, hectoring and downright nasty FBPE accounts who are unwilling to countenance any opinion other than their own. Just as bad as the Hard right Brexiteers they claim to oppose.
@david_clarke91
It's not a second referendum, Corbyn licker
It's a vote on whether to accept whatever shit deal The ERG and your stinking little trot leader try to force onto the whole country or not
History has ultimately proven Tony Benn correct on this issue. Right to Buy has been an unmitigated disaster that has created the conditions for gentrification and social cleansing of communities and lack of proper affordable housing for Young People.
In the 80s, Kinnock & Benn clashed over Labour opposition to Right to Buy
Benn argued ‘These are not the tenants houses to buy. These are the communities houses’
Kinnock snapped ‘On the day when you start paying a mortgage or rent, you will have some authority on the subject’
I must say it's been wonderful blocking all the Tory trolls who have been angrily tweeting at me since last night about how Mandela was in fact a terrorist and how Maggie Thatcher and the Conservatives were right to support Apartheid.
Tories definitely aren't racists though!. 😂
BBC Northwest once again pushing the nonsense that Frank Field quit Labour because of antisemitism and bullying.
He quit Labour because he was going to be deselected by his CLP for propping up the Tories and he jumped before he was pushed.
That’s the be all and end all. End of.
I would like to wish all my friends and followers a happy May Day Bank holiday which was first Introduced to Britain by Labour's James Callaghan in 1978.
Today we commemorate all those who have died in the struggle for Workers rights. May we never forget their heroic sacrifice.
If the Italian Exit Poll is right then their Centre-left is set to endure it's worst ever results.
It's time now for European Leftist parties to reject Centrist irrelevance and to embrace the tried and proven Corbyn model of UK Labour.
It's the only way to defeat the Fascists
Britain has been taken to the brink of catastrophe by Theresa May and the rotten Tories.
I couldn’t care less if Jeremy Corbyn offended the sensibilities of Chuka Ummuna, Vince Cable and Lobby Journo melts by walking out of a meeting.
If anything it makes me like him even more.
This really is desperate nonsense from The Times.
Labour has Hundreds of Thousands of members willing to dedicate their precious time to online activism and Canvassing.
If this is the Tories excuse for the Humiliating loss of their majority last year then they are beyond help.
For those interested in facts, context and nuance over propaganda and distortion Corbyn was referring to the deliberate offshoring of companies away from Britain to countries were the price of Labour is cheaper. Not Immigration.
This baseless accusation should be retracted.
Cambridge Analytica and the Conservatives are completely in bed with each other. James Cleverly as ever is talking utter rubbish. He's also the last person to lecture anyone on the merits of respect online considering the abusive rubbish he spews regularly on Twitter.
#bbcqt
Chris Leslie is such a hypocrite. Supports a ''Peoples vote'' on Brexit yet wont even give his constituents the chance to ratify his decision to leave the Labour Party in a by-election.
Completely epitomizes the undemocratic nature of this IG none party.
