Look out for Marcus Rashford. He’s dealt a blow to the Tories. The right wing media won’t forget this and won’t tolerate him setting an example for others, also he’s black.
It won’t be tomorrow, but we all know the media will come for him. Be ready to defend and back him up.
A master class in how to treat a heavily biased reporter. All Left politicians current and prospective should watch and learn.
We don’t have to play by the rules

sets.
2022 and the most effective opponents of this corrupt government are a footballer ( Marcus Rashford ), an ex-footballer ( Gary Neville ), a food author ( Jack Monroe ) and a linguist ( Susie Dent ).
Clear message, devastatingly articulate attack on the Tories. Well done Gary, puts every keynote speech at the Labour conference to shame. This is not the sound of trying to please the Murdoch press or playing word games, this is the sound of opposition.
We’ve been brainwashed mainly by the media to think there’s no alternative to what we have. I’m on a train in Norway, everyone has a seat and there’s free WiFi. There’s also this...

I'm not saying that Theresa May reading a script like a robot stood in the middle of a cow shed is so mind numbingly boring that TV crews cut away before it goes on any longer to save their souls. I'm just posting this clip...

This beyond Orwell’s ‘1984’ this is the stuff of LSD trips.

- Dyson ventilators?
- Nightingale hospitals?
- Putting "a ring around care homes" to keep them safe?
- The "world beating" test and trace app?
- Laptops for all the kids who don't have one to school at home?
BBC presenters on the upcoming £20 cut in universal credit, keep asking how can we afford not to make the cut?
They never ask where the £37+ billion for the bodged test and trace came from or the millions on faulty PPE bought from Tory mates or the over £230+ billion on Trident.
Watch this clip closely, it's historic .In a field of strong competition, I think this marks the lowest moral point of UK politics this century. A pure dystopian scene played out in Parliament. Listen to both the words and the tone and tell me this isn't pure evil.
Sweden's Princess Sofia has announced she is reducing her Royal duties so that she can volunteer at a local hospital.
She has already completed intensive training to prepare for it.
In her new role, she will be disinfecting, cleaning, and working in the kitchen.
This is what the Tories

means. Laura isn’t allowed into the centre of London “in case she might commit a crime”, ie take part in a disruptive demonstration. This is the place where we live now.

The guy in the cap at a Britain First demo is Thomas Mair, the man who killed Jo Cox.
Nick Robinson has just said on

that although Mair shouted Britain First as he killed Jo there’s “no evidence he was part of Britain First”.
Robinson is a fake journalist, he needs to go

Sajid Javid introduced as the “Chancellor of the Exchequer”
John McDonnell introduced as “an ally of Jeremy Corbyn”
(his title is Shadow Chancellor)
What is it? A dedicated rail carriage for families with little kids which includes a playroom with a climbing area, all softly padded. We’re told we can’t have stuff like this because it’s more important for Branson and others to make “a profit” from trains! We need socialism.
Mainstream TV news media are refusing to give any decent coverage of today’s UN report on poverty in the UK. So here’s a brief report on it.

Well done Jeremy Corbyn. He walked out of a *party leaders* meeting with May when Soubry and Umunna (not party leaders) were there. Just another PR trick by May, kudos to Jeremy for not letting May play him for a mug.
Jeremy Corbyn tackles head on the attacks made against him and Labour by former MPs. Honest and to the point. Have you ever:
(a) seen the media ask Johnson a question like this and
(b) seen him answer it so directly?
The Deputy Politcal Editor of the BBC calls Jeremy Corbyn “a Marxist” live on BBC1.
BBC journos aren’t reporters they are the spokespeople for the right wing establishment and we’re forced by law to pay for this.
Hi BBC, Sky and ITV I guess you're struggling to do your own research on this, so here's a full list of the 18 Tory Councillors and Candidates who have been suspended for racism and abuse in the last 30 days ALONE!
Time to call out
#ToryRacism
Diane Abbott was hounded by the media for drinking a tin of mojito.
Kate Osamor was forced by the media from her front bench position because of a drugs offence by her son.
Compare this treatment of these two black, working class MPs to how Tory law breakers are treated.
Never any tears for the Grenfell victims, the deported Windrush victims and the countless deaths caused by Tory and Lib Dem austerity.
Only tears for herself. How so typical of her.
Good riddance to the worst ever Prime Minister in our history.
Here's the full explanation from Jeremy Corbyn on why he didn't accept May's invitation for "talks". You won't see this whole story including Jeremy's description of what happened after their last discussions in December. Vital context you will NOT see reported or explained.
Watch this, Corbyn for the umpteenth time on tackling racism in all its forms, including AS. He couldn’t be anymore clearer. Why haven’t the media aired this from Sunday but keep on giving airtime to people who smear him with NO EVIDENCE?
Truly a
#BrokenMedia
An excellent clip and interview by Emma Barnett of Tory Minister Robin Walker. Shows just what a sham May’s offer of talks with Corbyn is.
It also begs the question, why haven’t more presenters asked similar questions of Tory ministers?
Beware the rage of the extremely well paid, exceptionally well off TV presenters. Landlord rage yesterday, today bitter twisted privileged rage.
Well done to the young man for not putting up with this nonsense.
#ClimateAction
Brilliant, must watch:
#Peston
explains how Corbyn has snookered May on
#Brexit
. He’s put her into a position where she must choose between the country or her party. Either way she gets destroyed politically.
Genius. Never play chess with Jeremy!
#JC4PM
It’s odd that as the BBC and Sky regularly cycle through the list of violent attacks on MPs they don’t mention an attempt to kill the then Leader of the Opposition.
The Tories are putting out so many myths and lies about
#prorogation
and the media letting them off. Good job that Barry Gardiner was there to put them straight...
Some people say we should leave the EU without a deal, a hard
#Brexit
and they say we’ll be fine under WTO terms because that’s ‘what most of the world have’. This clip from Channel4 News shows how badly informed or deliberately misleading they are.
Well done
@HackneyAbbott
putting Tory spokesman (part time Sky presenter) Jonathan Samuels in his place. Diane got one figure wrong in one interview a year ago. Rudd and May responsible for the wrong deportation of hundreds of British citizens. Media need to end bias to Diane
John McDonnell being absolutely crystal clear on when Labour will back a General Election. Surprised that so many TV presenters still saying they don’t understand Labour’s position.
How very BBC! Listen to how the Tory MP for Radio 4, Nick Robinson tries to link Corbyn NOT saying 'stupid woman' to anti-semitism. No, really, he actually tries.
Well done to Diane for dealing with this nonsense.
Sky’s political reporter Tamara Cohen is younger than Chuka Umunna, Anna Sourbry, Caroline Lucas and Nicola Strugeon yet she has a wisdom beyond all of their years. Here she clearly spells out why Labour launching a vote of no confidence now would be a failure.
Can someone at the BBC please pass

a note to let him know that is ALLOWED to ask Boris Johnson tough questions, you know the way he does to Labour guests? Thanks, a licence fee payer

See a pattern?
Many celebrities are hiding their views about the slaughter in Gaza because their worried about the impact on their careers. So it’s good when people like Charlotte come out and show their support for the people of Gaza. Look after her when the attacks come
NEW: The singer Charlotte Church will perform at the national march for Palestine in Cardiff this weekend.
The protest calling for a ceasefire, expected to be the biggest pro-Palestine demonstration ever seen in Wales, will be in Cardiff Central Square at 1pm this Saturday.
BBC balance? Michael Gove’s wife is a paper reviewer on
#Marr
ahead of his May interview. For balance, the other reviewer is a centrist Corbyn hater.
The BBC aren’t even hiding
#bbcbias
anymore, they’re proud of it!
The media are uncritically lapping up Bozo’s fake policies statements. Jeremy Corbyn isn’t. He sums up Bozo’s latest stunt "All he's done is gone to Manchester to the exact same place George Osborne did five years ago and announce the same thing."
BBC News / Laura K spin on Johnson’s US trip:
- two big wins
- flights to US resumed
- US climate change funding doubled
The truth:
- flights from ALL European countries resumed
- US climate change funding was going up anyway regardless of Johnson’s visit
- Johnson’s won NOTHING
We know the mainstream media are biased against Labour. It's a fact. But sometimes the mask slips and you can see just how deep and visercal their hatred of Labour and the Left is.
This happened on Sky News, just watch the presenter...
#BrokenMedia
One MP has received way more abuse and threats than almost every other MP. She was also a Shadow Home Secretary.
One would think an ideal candidate to discuss the threats to MPs and their safety. So it’s odd the BBC and Sky aren’t interviewing her, isn’t it?
#BlackHistoryMonth
Jeremy Corbyn will step down in a few weeks as Labour leader and I can’t help thinking what if.
What if we had a PM who wanted to be PM because he wanted to improve people’s lives not because it was his childhood dream.
Just imagine if we had a PM now who cared for everyone.
Every day Labour front benchers make CLEAR Labour's
#brexit
position.
Every day journos and FBPE idiots say "...but we don't know what Labour's position is"
Here's daily clarification no 926
Dominic Raab says *unchallenged* on BBC
#r4today
that the book which included views on privatising the NHS was written a long time ago and then he had written no such thing. Here is that book written by Raab with others in 2012.
Sad to hear Jeremy Corbyn was actually hit in the assault today. Good to hear he’s ok and unshaken by it. Disappointed not to see supportive tweets etc from many MPs especially those who get really offended by comments on social media. This was an actual assault not a comment
Shameless abusive behaviour from Tory MPs while Jeremy Corbyn makes his statement. That includes Boris Johnson who gets totally owned by The Speaker after his silly attempt at an interruption...
For the record, I would like to make clear I would not call Theresa May a ‘stupid woman’
I’d call her a stupid, useless, criminally incompetent, auserity loving, Windrush racist, hypocritical, lying, facist enabling, monkey dung shambles of the worst Prime Minster we’ve ever had
The Tories keep saying they delivered 1 billion pieces of
#PPE
to the NHS.
500 million of these were single gloves.
#Panorama
has revealed lying on an industrial scale over PPE. They also lied about herd immunity and deaths in care homes.
Lies, it's the Tory way.
This is how the next Labour leader has to be. When they throw labels like 'radical' or 'hard Left' at you as insults, you shove them back down their throats, no prisoners taken. Labour need to ACCEPT the mainstream AREN'T fair or their friends.
Jeremy Corbyn on anti-Semitism and racism.
Critics, do try and find a clearer or more genuine statement on this from May or any of her leadership challengers or any of the troublemakers in Labour and also if any of them have a similar record of action to his on fighting racism
Well done Emily Thornberry, this is exactly what most of the country is thinking: “you don’t give into bullies, you stand up to them”
#DumpTrump
#TrumpUKVisit
I’m a Hindu, I’ve never heard of the Hindu Council, never had any communication from it, never heard of the bloke who runs it and no idea how he was selected. Whoever he represents, he doesn’t represent me or many other Hindus. Just another bandwagon jumper.
LATEST: The Hindu Council has now written to the Chief Rabbi to express their support and to accuse the Labour Party of also becoming anti-Hindu. Major interventions in this election today from pretty much every major faith in Britain. Astonishing.
Remember when Corbyn made that big speech on the
#ClimateCrisis
and the media gave it non stop coverage? Indeed!
Why would the media cover a popular Labour policy the Tories have no match for?
Amazing Labour can lead in the polls despite the
#BrokenMedia
I agree with what many are saying that Corbyn did very well on
#Marr
. However, what was concerning was that Marr’s entire focus was to get a ‘gothca’ moment. When it was clear he wasn’t getting it with a question, he’d cut Jeremy off and try again. This isn’t proper interviewing
So just imagine if Labour had won the Election and Corbyn’s first public outing was to a party in his own honour paid for by a Russian oligarch who controls a couple of British newspapers...can you imagine the frenzied meltdown on Sky and the BBC?
"The Prime Minister arrived at a private London residence for a Christmas party held by Russian tycoon and owner of the Evening Standard Evgeny Lebedev".
Helps to have friends in high places.

This Thread on that blatant bias, first Jeremy himself calls it out..

Imagine the media meltdown if any Labour front bencher had a car crash interview like this? A Tory minister does it and it doesn't make the TV news.
"What's your
#Brexit
budget?"
"I don't know...it's several hundreds of millions"
Real answer £185 million
Loving listening to Nick Robinson getting annoyed that Jeremy Corbyn was unable to do an interview with him. After the disprect the BBC have shown to the Leader of the Opposition in interviews this week, it’s not surprising. If you treat people like crap expect them to ignore you
Summary of the

press conference:
- I've done nothing wrong
- It's the media fault
- I never considered resigning
- I'm not going to say sorry
- Jog on, I ain't going anywhere you plebs
Barry Gardiner clears it up for the BBC, billionaire Trump doesn’t support Labour because he’s a billionaire.
Trump is a racist misogynist that why he backs other racist misogynists like Johnson and Farage.
Wow, here goes the four words I thought I’d never write: Well done Kay Burley!
Absolutely owned the Tories this morning. They’re frit and on the run already.
Great metaphor for politics today:
Conservatives are sat in the expensive car
Centrists are doing the sweeping up
Socialists sort out the cause of the problem
The police "had no choice" but to shoot London Bridge attacker Usman Khan says Jeremy Corbyn.
This is the truth, watch him say it, ignore the fake news peddlers who say otherwise.
OMG! Watch this, it’s a car crash. This is what happen when Johnson gets interviewed by someone who isn’t one of the usual suspects like “Laura”, Peston or Beth Rigby...
Hi BBC, sorry your hatchet job on Corbyn failed last night and you ended up finishing off the careers of 4 Blairites. Could you please tell us when your documentaries on

Slowly, more and more truth bombs about

What’s that they say about the truth always getting out?
A myth the media have peddled on behalf of the Tories is to say “...but Labour’s policy on

isn’t clear.”
Watch Keir Starmer put this lazy journalism right.
Labour’s position has always been clear, it’s the media who choose not to report it.

The Polish border isn’t open to all. BBC News ran a report on Zambian students being refused entry, reports of Indian students also having problems and the report below on Nigerian students. It’s impossible not to describe this as racism.
Listening to Nigerian students in Ukraine right now crying on Twitter spaces. Some have trekked for 25km to Poland border in the freezing cold only not to be let in 😢.
