Staunchly socialist. ALL views are my own. I hate Tories & faux leftwing/progressive people. Retweets mean I appreciate what’s said, but might not fully agree👍

journey from Edinburgh all the way to Doncaster. Overcrowded and stood up, even though I'd booked. Pictures are damning. Nationalise them all now.
@Liam_Holman99
Unequivocally supporting Israeli action in Gaza. Collective punishment is a war crime. The name is suitable and he fits in well with the legacy of Blair.
@theAliceRoberts
Tbf, I never realised you were my age bracket. I thought early 30’s.
I thought there was hope for the future of academia.
Obviously, “what do I know” 🤷♂️
Don’t let the bas*ards grind you down.
@dhothersall
Define what is left wing about him. Use current examples and policies please.
He certainly is not socialist, as evidenced by the fact he has been expelled by the society of socialist lawyers.
@lmharpin
@leicesterliz
It’s strange how those throwing this at Jeremy Corbyn always miss quote him. He said the “SCALE” of antisemitism, as in the number of antisemitic people in the party. He NEVER said that antisemitism was exaggerated.
@Redpeter99
@BBCBreakfast
That begs 2 questions
1. Do any members still deny antisemitism was weaponised against the left, any mere hint leads to their suspension/expulsion?
2. What will Starmer do about it now that his weak leadership and factionalism have been exposed?
@lukeakehurst
@labour_first
Then why are you so afraid of allowing a leftwing candidate on the leadership ballot again?
You’ve shifted all the goalposts away from the membership towards the plp as far as voting goes. You’ve packed the prospective candidates as supporters of your faction. Democracy is dead
@antisemitism
So, since he’s being doing this act since 1979, just when was it that you found it unacceptable?
Also, have you spoken out against this Israeli tribute act that sold out a venue last week?
@LordIanAustin
I’ll never cease enjoying questioning your judgment. Whilst I’m no fan of Stalinist expansion a la East Germany, I’m no fan of yours either.
@kimleadbeater
I’m sorry Kim, but you’re in a party that is led by a a front bench that excused this and “unequivocally supports Israel”. This is what you voted for.
@ox_anna29
So let me understand this…
Ukraine right to self determination = good…
Scotland’s right to self determination = bad…
Centrists hypocrisy is very blinkered and a sliding scale.
@Liam_Holman99
“Should show restraint” yet calls for “pauses” not ceasefire. Doesn’t call it what it is, that being collective punishment (a war crime)
Meanwhile 80% of Gaza’s population are displaced, the “safe zones” are deserts with no amenities and a humanitarian crisis.
Some leader.
@Ostrov_A
I wouldn’t go down that path…
White phosphorus
Collective punishment
Annexation of land
Denial of free access to water…
I’d go on but the list is very long
@lukeakehurst
@JewishChron
Also I don’t see any rebuttal of the selective quoting and plain misrepresentation of participants. Just a cursory look at the content of the Labour files show that this whole article is at best fraudulent misrepresentation and at worst just plain “whataboutary”
@BrianJo70317946
One of the basic tenets of socialism is solidarity with people in struggle. The strongest he has said is “I understand why…”
Unfortunately I think you’re projecting your hopes rather than the empty reality you will get. There’s just you blind faith that things will improve.

@billiepiper
Tbf, Billie Piper has disavowed him many times in the past.
I’d allow her the disinfectant of distance. We all have an ex we were convinced was the “one” but through the lens of hindsight we realise what a prize Pratt they were.
@JewishChron
Amazing how a group of irrelevant people who like the ideas of an irrelevant politician manage to generate so many column inches.
It’s almost like we’re a threat…
Nigel Farage lavishes praise on Sir Keir Starmer for his new immigration stance.
Farage praises Labour for moving “to the right of the Tories” on immigration.
@labour_first
It was more likely your hard right wing of the party that undermined the leader, briefed against him and then tried to reverse Brexit. You are a factional, Nasty bunch.
@LabourCharles
I had a look at the rest of your TL, my god you’re such a right winger! If you’re a typical Labour member then saint’s preserve us.
You make Thatcher look positively liberal.
@LRedredwine
@MichaelRosenYes
Reported for harassment.
Newbon posted an antisemitic meme superimposing the elder protocols of Zion on the pages of bear hunt being read to children and then it doubled down with antisemitic prose in the style of that book. I don’t wish death on anyone, but he was antisemitic.
@lukeakehurst
You and the Labour mandarins have already said that conference is supreme only when sitting.
If that’s not true and it’s the deciding body I look forward to the conference decision on Palestine being enacted in Labour policy.
