Just want to say a great big ‘fuck you very much’ to all you Tory voters for voting in the most ludicrous group of inept, cowardly, venal, criminally-insane twats that now pretend to run our country - cheers...
We are now in the absurd situation where the England football team are the de facto opposition to the government, while the actual opposition literally opposes nothing.
Congratulations to Jacinda Arden and her SOCIALIST Labour Party landslide victory... don’t let anyone ever tell you socialism is unelectable - it’s all propaganda
An interesting story…
A few years ago, I was asked onto BBC World Service TV to comment on George Michael’s death (I knew him well).
I was chatting to the presenter before going live - she asked what I’d been up to recently. I told her I’d just returned from Palestine…
She immediately started backtracking when she realised I knew what I was talking about.
This was the main presenter on BBC World Service - worldwide.
From that moment, I never listened to BBC news output again.
Re Diane Abbott on QT...
As a sound expert, I can confirm that Abbott’s microphone was deliberately turned down (and the others turned up) to make her sound weaker, and to make it more difficult for her to defend herself
I’m currently in Venice - everyone wears masks in all shops and transport - no exceptions, and no-one is complaining. Italian people understands the value of citizens looking after each other, simple.
Keir - As my MP, we are colleagues and friends in our fight against this appalling government - I beg you...for the sake of the future - any future - of the Labour Party, you MUST remove the people responsible for this shameful anti-Labour effort from within... right now
Have you noticed that Gaza is dropping off the news cycle since the legal action by SA? - we all need to keep the pressure up, these are critical times
Today, and after a long period of reflection, I have resigned from the Labour Party - one day I hope to rejoin when there is a true socialist leader at the helm, the Forde report is released and the NEC isn’t riddled with torys… I’m not holding my breath…
… as part of a multi faith charity mission. Her response was ‘we don’t mention the word Palestine at the BBC’. I was astounded - ‘why’ I said. ‘Because it doesn’t exist’ was her reply. I informed her that it is recognised by almost all countries, including the UN…
It will be a cold day in hell when I vote for Jess Phillips, Murdoch anointee, to get anywhere near the leadership of the Labour Party - I urge every member not to vote for her in any capacity
I urge you to reflect today and consider all the people who undermined Labour at the last election…
The media, the billionaire owners, the gullible and the selfish…
All the complicit, mealy-mouthed, I’m alright jackers…

@AnushkaAsthana
Criticism of the establishment is now ‘trolling’ is it? Seriously, are we not allowed to question the motives and effects of clearly biased news organisations? Please enlighten me...
Today I shall be visiting my home town to receive an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from University of Sheffield
My mum and dad would have been so proud…
As socialists, if we truly believe that this current version of the Labour Party no longer represents our views, why don’t we we form a true socialist party? Who’s with me??
If you vote Tory, you are complicit in the destruction of this country and particularly the poor are suffering - no ifs or buts...this your all down to you as individuals - shame on you
Just want to say that CNN have been fantastic in their bravery and narrative during this Trump-driven crisis... the BBC should be ashamed in comparison
Keir Starmer and his team are a disaster for the Labour Party - completely delusional and disconnected from working class reality - we need a socialist leader to OPPOSE not APPEASE
The media are trying to construct a narrative (aka brainwashing) where the LP membership would be mad NOT to pick Jess Phillips (groomed by Murdoch, friend of Rees Mogg,)
DO NOT SWALLOW THE LIES - WE SELECT WHO WE WANT
I keep coming back to Thatcher’s final comments when summing up of her career - when asked what her biggest achievement was, she said ‘Tony Blair’. I think I now fully understand what she meant, and it’s chilling…
I am heartbroken- Ennio Morricone, my favourite film composer has gone - he was the biggest influence on early Human League and Heaven 17
Goodbye Maestro...
All the Labour Party executives who actively worked to undermine a Corbyn-led Labour Party - our party - at the last election need to be immediately expelled permanently as traitors.
If the UK electorate can only absorb one simple message, then let it be this...the only party that can save the free NHS is the Labour Party. A vote for ANY other party is a vote to destroy the NHS as a free-to-public service.
Israel has moved from being an apartheid state to being a genocidal state…
Imagine if the apartheid South African govt had decided to bomb heavily populated black townships- would the world’s governments have stood by and helped/applauded?
STOP THIS INSANITY NOW
What is clear as day is that we can’t trust Starmer’s pledges on anything going forward - such a ‘leader’ cannot remain in charge of ANY party, especially Labour
Fascism definition...
Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy
Ring any bells? Spoiler alert...we’re living it right now...
I have submitted a complaint to the BBC about Question Time and the defamatory direct accusation by Tory MP Claire Perry of Jeremy Corbyn being an ‘anti-semite’ - you all should too...
I honestly believe that there would be more outrage if the Gaza Strip was populated solely with cats and dogs being slaughtered indiscriminately
I despair 😞
Brexit policies ARE simple to understand
1) Tories = no deal = disaster for jobs & EU trade deals & N Ireland
2) Lib Dems = revoke with no peoples vote = riots & disorder
3) Labour = let the people decide between a Brexit deal & Remain = only sensible way out this Brexit mess.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...
The deadline for opting out of this repulsive govt using YOUR medical records for research is 23rd of June.
You have to OPT OUT via the NHS website online and you have to fill out a form at your GP practice. DO IT NOW
Without mentioning Corbyn or Labour, can any Tory voter reading this please give just one example of any policy in the last 8 years of Tory government that has benefitted the majority of the population? I’ll wait (I suspect forever)...
Dawn Butler is a hero - the problem with our ‘democracy’ is that it is unwritten and works on an ‘honour’ system - and there is virtually no honour left in parliament… it is broken beyond repair…
The whole point of current govt policy is to deflect the blame onto the public whilst ensuring eugenicist reduction of poor, old and disabled voters - the Tory party are pure evil
I hope everyone who voted Tory (or LibDem) are proud of where your selfish actions have got us to - an openly racist, misogynist liar representing ‘our’ national interests - shame on every single one of you...
What do they actually teach them at Eton? 1 - never admit ANYTHING, 2 - never accept responsibility, 3 - you are always right, 4 - you are born to rule
Can anyone on here who is a lawyer please urgently advise re reports that doctors are overruling older patients wishes re not giving Do Not Resuscitate permission? I regard this as manslaughter - please help
Here’s a newsflash from the Labour Party membership to Tom Watson....THE MEMBERSHIP WILL NEVER, EVER ALLOW YOU TO LEAD THE LABOUR PARTY - so just slither off...
Peston is utterly useless and/or disingenuous - all he can say is this is chaos, NO IT ISN’T it’s a carefully thought-out strategy by the Opposition which is now bearing the greatest harvest - the destruction of the Conservative Party
@DeborahMeaden
@Keir_Starmer
Disappointed that you, a person I respect,has been convinced by this egregious, duplicitous character. As a proud socialist who believes in social justice and ethical business, the underlying narrative - ‘do anything it takes to get elected then worry about it’ - is morally wrong
