What's going on with Labour's Parliamentary Selections?. A 🧵 on Starmer's purge and the implications for Britain's democracy.

Perhaps they couldn’t reach him on his pager. The hard left seeking to damage Labour whilst the far right are on the march. As shabby as they ever were.

Journalists be like 'no one would deny Keir Starmer is a nice guy' even though the man screws over everyone he ever works with and reportedly cheers himself up by sacking people.

This is why those framing it as 'Starmtroopers are in fact disloyal, didn't stitch up the selections so good' is wrong. The cuts are so heinous and so clearly harmful to Labour's base/identity, that it's only because of the rigging that the Gov has any support at all.
Almost without exception, the Labour MPs we have in Scotland were selected *because* they will not ask Liz Kendall difficult questions. My own MP @mgshanks hasn't replied to any of the emails I've sent him about how the PIP cuts will affect our shared constituents. Empty suits.

Official BBC statement outright smears @BobbyVylan as antisemitic. Seems pretty libellous to me, conflating Jewish people with a genocidal army committing daily war crimes.
NEW. BBC statement on Glastonbury Festival 👍. “With hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen”. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves”. @LBC

Particularly galling given the journos, pollsters & assorted hacks gushing about how this report humanises Starmer.

So Rachel Reeves planned further cuts to those with the most severe disabilities. Keir Starmer said no to these, but go right ahead for those who can't wash, dress or feed themselves. Disgusting on all counts.

Quite funny not only that this toad goes out to bat for the indefensible, but that he (typically) does so in such an odious manner that any rebel Labour MPs who see it will surely only dig their heels in further.
'I'm going to be supporting the government because I'm a Labour MP so should vote with the government. '. Labour MP Luke Akehurst hits out at Labour MPs planning on voting against the government's welfare reforms, and explains why he supports the measures.

It's a Morgan McSweeney disasterclass, folks.
(1)Blame game over benefits rebellion begins- from The Times - Minister says Morgan McSweeney is " completely off his rocker" for making Starmer define himself "against the Left ", Rachel Reeves persuasion attempts put off more MPs, govt relies on Rayner to try sell the cuts
