The man who works for a media organisation that worked flat out to destroy Corbyn and deny us a future socialist government has some gall calling out @thecanary here. His shitrag backed Saudi Arabia's record on women and gave Erdogan a column to lecture on human rights.

Keir Starmer should not go on Nick Ferrari's show (and fail to call out white supremacism while he's there). 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝. Jeremy Corbyn should not be giving friendly interviews to The Canary in which he urges people to support them.

As a young reporter in Northern Ireland I twice saw kids squirming on the ground in agony after being shot in the knees by the IRA. The memory still haunts me. Kneecap should be free to sing whatever they want - but why do they choose to celebrate such a vicious form of torture?.

🔹Washington evacuates personnel from bases across the region.🔹Runs psyop claiming it told Netanyahu not to strike Iran, lapped up uncritically by a compliant media.🔹Netanyahu survives vote to dissolve Knesset meaning he remains in power until December at least.🔹Trump wanted.

The BBC is and never has been impartial, it serves a certain agenda and has historically played a wretched role. Simpson is one of its most loyal foot soldiers.

Thank you so much for this, Rupert. Most Brits quietly agree with you, but there are some who don’t understand what impartiality means, and think we’re being biased because we’re not biased in their favour. Best wishes.
