#ToriesOut
. Ex Labour due to Starmer. Socialist. Freedom for the Palestinians & all oppressed people
left/progressive voters need to think carefully about how to use their power at the next GE. Getting the tories out via tactical voting just doesn’t cut it any more when the opposition is just as bad. We need to vote for what we believe in and work to reduce Starmer’s majority 1/
Can I please ask
@SkyNews
@itvnews
@BBCNews
@Channel4News
why you are not outside the home of the health and social care secretary demanding he answer questions about the recent court case & when he will resign? I recall you did this to
@jeremycorbyn
even for spurious accusations
Really important to remember that there are a lot of Jewish people around the world who do not support the oppression and apartheid policies of the Israeli state. Many in Israel as well.
I expect to see the resignation of
@Keir_Starmer
tomorrow morning, followed by Luke Akehurst and many others. The Al Jazeera documentary tonight must mean the end of
@UKLabour
in its present form and with its current leadership
Tomorrow I am going to call my boss a fucking twat. I will spread terrible rumours about him being a racist & get him sacked. I will apply for his job, arguing that he is not fit to hold it and I will be better. If he or his family & friends complain, I will abuse them as a cult.
Genuine thoughts with Meghan Markle at this time. She is going to have to put up with the most appalling racism and abuse over the next few days and put up with it until she can escape back to the US.
Why is the
@BBCNews
leading with Jeremy Hunt calling corbyn pathetic rather than ‘opposition leader criticises govt that backs up US before facts known’? The bias is appalling.
Bloody Hell! Just got in from work and my house has been completely redecorated by some posh Sloaney company! The sofa matches the wallpaper, I can’t find anything and I have no idea who is going to pay the £200,000 it cost! Silly me!
Tutu in 2020: ‘Apartheid was horrible in South Africa and it’s horrible when Israel practises its own form of apartheid against the Palestinians, with checkpoints and a system of oppressive policies.’ Shame on
@UKLabour
&
@Keir_Starmer
for their pro apartheid stance
It is absolutely incredible to learn that the Labour Party have today refused to join in with the SNP vote of no confidence in the worst Govt in living memory.
@UKLabour
are no longer fit to be in Parliament
What is the relationship between
#PeterMandleson
and Jeffrey Epstein?
@Keir_Starmer
needs to suspend him from the Labour Party until this is fully investigated
Tory Britain:
The AG is in a sex cult run by an abuser called Dennis
The tabloids drove a tv presenter to suicide
A eugenicist joined the govt
Tory MPs praise Hitler
The Chancellor is a hedgefund crook
The BBC is doomed
Remind me what was so bad about
@jeremycorbyn
?
I have always respected and liked
@Ed_Miliband
. I supported him when leader. But to see him on TV this evening spreading smears, lies and hate about
@jeremycorbyn
was disgusting- especially when we remember the support corbyn gave him when his own father was unjustly smeared.
Dear
@BBCNews
. I am very concerned that you keep presenting people who are affected by waiting lists as victims of the strikers rather than the government
Every farmer & fisherman I know were mad brexiteers. Every farmers field I drove past was advertising the tories & sporting big brexit notice boards. They wanted this. They lied to themselves and abused us when we tried to warn them. They have destroyed their own lives. Tragic
So it seems that the lesson of yesterday is that the leadership of
@jeremycorbyn
over
@UKLabour
from 2016-7, was, for all its challenges, a small, brief moment of light and positivity in 15 years of centre/right led despair and failure.
Is there anything more pitiful that watching a man like this, who has spent years pouring vitriolic abuse into
@jeremycorbyn
and everyone who agrees with him now realising he has just enabled Johnson’s right wing mob and desparately pretending to be reasonable
Following Farage’s announcement today, it’s vital that the Libdems and Labour come to some sort of accommodation to prevent a full term of hard Tory government. Come on Jo! Come on Jeremy! Swallow your pride. This is far more important than short term party advantage.
I am pretty outraged that the
@guardian
is trying to use
@DrRosena
as a ‘both side’s’ example of MPs moonlighting with two jobs!! Serving as an NHS Dr during covid in her spare time is not the same as doing a couple of days lobbying for a gambling firm for huge amounts of cash!😡
Good afternoon
@Ofcom
. Can you please look into why the state broadcaster
@BBCNews
chose to live stream Isreal rather chaotic and innacurate presentation to the
@CIJ_ICJ
and not the brilliant professional and shocking evidence from South Africa?
Many years ago the
@metpoliceuk
lost the respect and trust of black people. More recently they they have lost the respect and trust of women. Yesterday they lost the respect and trust of all decent democrats who believe in freedom. Who are you working for?
#metpolice
@margarethodge
@Keir_Starmer
You are so full of hate. The truth is that your reign of lies, smears, and the destruction of the lives of good decent people is over. It is great to see Naomi on the NEC. She is a good person.
Mr Rinder has been on quite a few pro Israel marches whilst that country is engaged in an ongoing genocide. Shouldn’t that be pointed out to viewers
@GMB
I am a moderate centre left democratic socialist. I am anti racist, anti apartheid. pro peace & universal human rights. I believe in well funded public services, fair taxation & workers rights.
For all of these reasons, I will not be voting
@UKLabour
or
@Conservatives
in May
Rosen and Corbyn, being decent reasonable people. Say they don’t want to sue, they want action, apologies. The weak abusive smearing cowards who have targeted them over years don’t have the same standards of common decency
Why is the
@BBC
apologising to Farage for one slightly inaccurate detail in a story but failing to apologise to Corbyn for years of completely false and abusive smears either by its own staff or people invited on to its programmes unchallenged??
Orwellian new speak from
@lisanandy
on
@BBCr4today
! Everything is fine. We love Keir. Ange loves Keir. People wanted to vote for us but stayed at home as we haven’t quite changed enough under our sparkly new management!🦄🦄. The opposite of reality. No lessons learned. Hopeless.
Let’s never forget that when
@stephenpollard
is not abusing people on social media, his paper is telling lies and paying out damages to innocent people it has smeared.
The only thing I care about in relation to
#HollyWilloughby
and
#philipschofield
is that they took enthusiastic selfies with the man who betrayed and ruined Britain and outrageously shouted ‘are you an anti smite’ repeatedly to the man trying to save Britain.
Interesting
#Panorama
tonight. Whilst the right wing media was smearing & lying about
@jeremycorbyn
the
@Conservatives
were receiving huge amounts of money from Russian oligarchs close to putin.
Hi
@bbclaurak
. This morning you gave people the impression that anti Semitism was a large & shocking & new issue for
@UKLabour
& directly related to
@jeremycorbyn
. This is completely untrue. The facts are below. Please broadcast a correction.
So, let’s be clear about all the areas we were right about:
- Laura K is a client journalist for the BBC
- Matt Hancock is a completely corrupt blithering idiot
- Johnson is a liar who didn’t care about people dying
- the Tories are incompetent
I do not understand why Tony Hall has not just suspended
@bbclaurak
from duty. She is destroying the reputation of
@BBCNews
live on air! She is just repeating Tory attack and disinformation lines every day and failing to hold Johnson & tories to account.
The reason broadcasters are not allowed to reveal postal votes before 10PM polling day is it influences the vote.
I really have no explanation of how this is allowed under broadcasting code
@JustinWelby
@trussliz
This is a ridiculous statement. She put herself forward. She implemented hard right wing policies that ruined the lives of millions. These were deeply unchristian policies designed to hurt the poor and vulnerable and reward the rich. The opposite of Christian love.
@LeightonAV
@faizashaheen
This brilliant democratic socialist would have been a fantastic MP and the rediculous decision of re-electing that deeply evil man will hurt the voters badly
This man is a disgrace and shames his position. Let us all reach out to the many many Jewish people in this country who do not feel represented by him and who are actually against apartheid & genocide
Lots of subtle
#BBCbias
this morning on
@BBCr4today
. They read out Becketts tweet, but nothing in the news about the Glasgow response to patels racism. They talk about hamas bombs v Israeli destruction but never about the months of aggression & oppression that caused it
Boris Johnson is set to welcome Hungary's far-right Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, to Britain tomorrow.
He should not be welcomed here. His antisemitism, Islamophobia, attacks on migrants & other minorities must be challenged.
My letter to the Prime Minister:
I was not part of a ‘cult of corbyn’. I liked his values & progressive policies, but recognised his inexperience & faults. But he was the best chance to build a positive progressive foundation for the future. The labour right killed that hope & burnt the party to the ground.
This whole interview should be shown as a masterclass in how to avoid the traps set by the biased media and stay on message and make clear points. Bravo! In a second language as well! Thankyou for standing against apartheid
@AgnesCallamard
Wow! This is stunning & shocking. Corbyn gives the speech of his life & a positive vision for the uk. May lies, steals labour policies, destroys public services and kills poor & disabled people.
@ChukaUmunna
chooses May. I want that man out of my party now. He shames us all.
Thankyou to all of the brave decent people calling Stephen Fry and his shameful message of smearing decent people as antisemites. No more. We will not let this pass
Marcus Rashford becomes the youngest person ever to top the Sunday Times Giving List.
The 23-year-old has donated £20 million to food, poverty and community charities (partnered with FareShare) – a sum greater than his personal wealth.

@piersmorgan
That is an entirely contradictory and pointless argument. You admire them but you want them to shut up and get back to work with the same terms and conditions. If the govt won’t act then workers must defend themselves
Very distressing to hear woman on
@BBCr4today
talking about the need for a national govt led broadband strategy without anyone mentioning that we chose not to vote for this exact policy last December, calling it ‘broadband communism’.
For the first time in my political life I now feel genuinely worried about the fate of my country and even my own personal safety as Starmers new conservative Labour Party marches towards power with a huge majority. This man and party are ruthless, value free & not fit for power
@MaryCreagh_
He definitely will win. This is a constituency that knows him - your smears won’t work there. The question is whether he wants to go through this again after the despicable behaviour of right wing labour
@Conservatives
@JamesCleverly
The Tories supported apartheid. They proclaimed Mandela a terrorist. They wanted to hang Mandela. He was the defining politician of OUR generation James. Not yours. We supported and admired him. You hated and fought him.
@nadhimzahawi
Incredible. You have been exposed and sacked for tax avoidance when you were in charge of tax and now you invent some false achievements to fill up your letter and blame the media! This is your fault and you were never fit for high office. Resign as an MP
Seriously? Has
@UKLabour
proscribed
@RepublicStaff
? A republican pressure group? So you can’t be a member of labour and believe in this issue? Labour is now a 100% monarchy worshipping organisation? That is absolutely crazy! Tell me it is not true!
#MaureenLipman
has never been funny and has spent the last few years putting all of her time into trying to cancel the Palestinians and anyone in
@UKLabour
who supports them so her views are grade one hypocrisy
@BBCr4today
#CancelCulture
Can all
@UKLabour
members send our thanks to
@margarethodge
for releasing tapes that show what a nice and reasonable man
@jeremycorbyn
is and how much he is committed to fighting AS in labour and outside. He really comes out of it well.
So, let’s summarise the lessons for
@Keir_Starmer
and
@UKLabour
from elections across the world: a short 🧵:
1. Australia - socialist leader wins backed by greens
2. Wales - socialist leader wins
3. Chile - socialism wins
4. Portugal - socialism wins
5. Brazil - Socialism winning
I want to make a clear statement to
@bbcpress
that I am no longer prepared to pay my licence fee & will be withholding any future direct debits. This is because
@BBCNews
is now clearly & routinely biased towards the Conservative party & so cannot be publicly funded.
#UpYoursBBC
@JuliaHB1
The media are rightly challenging Prince Andrew for his behaviour. They attacked the duchess of Sussex for being black. It’s not hard to understand. Unless you are right wing.
@Fhamiltontimes
So a Met officer is raping women whilst the Met is working with the Govt to outlaw protest. Our police force is broken as we slide closer to fascism
My whole family have been enthusiastic and active members of
@UKLabour
for many years. Following the publication of the Forde report yesterday and the data leak and the leaked report - I want every penny of our subs back please
@KarenPollock100
This is the head of Britain’s Holocaust memorial charity celebrating a genocidal foreign country committing shocking war crimes against a defenceless and oppressed trapped population. As the shocking pictures of dead children come out of Rafah, she celebrates the perpetrators
I detest the hypocrisy of the British media & politicians over Israel. they have ignored the ongoing murder and catastrophic oppression of the Palestinian people - a nation that has no hope of peace, whose pleas to recognise apartheid are ignored. This disaster is the result
We watched this in horror. We were angry at the tories. We waited for a Labour govt to do the right thing.
Then
@Keir_Starmer
and the
@UKLabour
right wing betrayed our country and plunged us into more poverty and despair
#LabourLies
#SirKidStarver
"We try not to eat a lot in one day, even though most of us are really hungry."
Almost 1 in 3 children in the UK are now growing up poor, like Cameron and his two sisters whose family rely on a food bank to help fill the fridge.
People on here keep telling me & similar that we are ‘corbynistas’ or ‘the far left’. The problem for
@UKLabour
is this is untrue. I am the core vote. A moderate centre left activist who supported Blair, Brown, Miliband, Corbyn. & voted Starmer. I compromised for the broad church
Will not be on the
#PeoplesMarch
today. As a remainer, I don’t agree with more votes. I want a general election now and an ethical
@UKLabour
govt that ends austerity and renegotiated our partnership with the EU.
The admission by
@wesstreeting
on
@bbcquestiontime
that he did not work for a Labour Party victory in 2019 (we can assume 2017 as well) show the labour hierarchy think it is fine to allow the tories in if you don’t agree with the leadership. So that can be our strategy for 2024.
@StormySturgeon
Decent man. Right on almost everything. Great centre left policies. Inexperienced and flawed but held Mays corrupt government to account rather brilliantly and almost saved us from hard brexit hell. Betrayed by his own party who preferred tories instead. History will praise him
@KateEMcCann
@SamCoatesSky
That is an outrageous statement. They stood very politely whilst Sam did his interview and then made a few comments and one chant afterwards. People are sick of the medias behaviour. Take some responsibility
@ITVNewsPolitics
Fred Dimbleby the public school posh boy and oxford grad fast tracked into ITN to bully innocent people on their doorstep whilst letting off the govt who actually corruptly took thousands off the Russians. Shit journalism
#boycottITV
I am proud to call myself a democratic socialist. Based on my principles, I can no longer vote for
@Keir_Starmer
or
@UKLabour
.
I hope one day, the Labour Party regains it’s core ethical values
Can someone at
@BBCNews
and
@BBCr4today
explain to me why the Spanish socialists and podermos are described as ‘centre left’ whilst our moderate democratic socialist
@UKLabour
is consistently described as ‘the hard left’. Thanks!
I see that
@UKLabour
has bullied yet another long standing and committed Jewish activist out of the party. When is flagrant antisemitism in the current, right wing, version of labour going to be called out and faced up to?
The biggest fool of all in the shocking
#CummingsEvidence
is
@Keir_Starmer
. We all knew Johnson was an incompetent criminal. Why did the leader of the opposition choose to align himself with a govt that was killing its own people?
Can anyone seriously show me the evidence for chris Williamson’s ‘vile track record of anti semitism’ I have searched and I cannot find it. I don’t want to support him if he really is a ‘Jew hater’ but if his enemies are lying, I want to show full solidarity. Anything?
@jon_trickett
@JohnRentoul
Well done Jon for taking on this outrageous insult & forcing an apology. People like Rentoul think they can get away with smearing decent centre left MPs & activists in this way. It was obvious to any right thinking person exactly what you meant here.
Shame on every person who voted for Johnson and the tories. Shame on all the so called ‘liberals’ who told us that corbyn was a danger and Johnson the better choice. Shame on them. We had hope and now we are ruined
@maitlis
@WilliamJHague
Bloody hell! Not this! This is wrong! You don’t compare a man with a lifetime commitment anti racism & progressive politics to Trump just because a failed right winger Tory tells you to!!! Where is the bloody evidence Maitlis? Try going some journalism. This a embarrassing
