They managed to get 'zionist' in their at the beginning. Good ole momentum!

Yeah, not a big fan of green tea. My g/f likes all kinds of blends, and therefore although I've tried quite a few varieties, I still prefer my Yorkshire Tea.

Why do Labour still let Abbott get in front of a tv camera

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler both took that exact same view.

You're the farthest thing from a centrist here bro. But then, one of the lol things about centrists is that it's mostly a sham and for the most part there is no such thing.

You're a warmongering extremist. Thank God you're not American. Imagine the arsenal you'd have at your house if you were.

Because she's a crony of Corbyn's, and in Corbyn's Labour cronyism (and of course anti-Semitism) is all that counts. Corbyn's son has a highly paid job in McDonnell's office and the son of Andrew Murray of the SWP's Stop the War Coalition front and the Unite trade union has a highly paid job in Corbyn's office. It's literally 'jobs for the boys.'

'Andrew Murray', not to be confused with the tennis star, is in reality Andrew Drummond-Murray, a privileged far-left posho like Corbyn and Seumas Milne.

He is the son of Peter Drummond-Murray, former Slains Pursuivant of Arms, seen here on the right in his ceremonial dress.

There's not many options. Yvette Cooper (or someone else of similar calibre) should be shadow home secretary. Unfortunately there's a huge gap in available talent because of the new labour years. The newer young faces will come through as long as we don't give up.

I can be found, on the left, where I have always been, alongside my political hero, the Rt Hon Major C R Attlee MC MP, later 1st Earl Attlee KG OM CH PC FRS.

This kinda looks purgey but could be more to it.

Hmmmm

The ruling National Executive Committee (NEC)’s disputes panel decided late last year that the matter met the evidence test needed for a fuller investigation and referred his case to the National Constitutional Committee (NCC).

The three-member disputes panel - convened specifically for sex harassment cases and which hears all cases ‘blind’ with the complainant and respondent’s identities kept anonymous - had decided at the time not to suspend him.

Partly because the case was historic and involved written rather than physical contact, it decided Woodcock should remain a party member until the case was resolved.

But HuffPost understands that following an intervention by Formby the backbencher was informed by the party whips on Monday that he is now suspended pending the outcome of his case.

Are any of the accusations in that meme factually accurate?

'his name is sajid javid and he is your new home secretary'

not sure abt the rest

Incredibly painful to watch. I'm not sure quite how you fudge such a spectacular Tory own goal but she's doing her absolute best.

The last few times this has happened, the momentum slappies have come out and said that her health is somehow responsible for this, I guess that if you're the Labour press office, it might be time to stop sending her to these sorts of things.

Working class son of immigrants (True). A proud Thatcherite (True) Zionist (Trueish)* who was director of Deutsche Bank (True) as well as a multi-million pound property company (?, can't find a mainstream source for that claim), and is a private landlord (True).

He consistently voted against :

Higher taxes on banks : 6 for 7 against.
The mansion tax : 0 for 3 against.
Employment rights : ?, can't find a direct comparison.
Reducing Capital gains tax : 6 for 1 against. They have this in the wrong area.
Laws to promote equality and human rights : 0 for 5 against.
Investigations into the Iraq war : 0 for 1 against.
Making homes fit for human habitation : At least 1 vote against.

He continued to grant export licences for arms sales to Saudi Arabia after being informed of the war crimes happening in Yeman (True).

He consistently voted for :
NHS privatisation : ?, can't find a direct comparison.
A stricter asylum system : 6 for 0 against.
The gagging law : 3 for 0 against.

He has refused to apologise for referring to Momentum as "Neo-Fascist". (True)

* If your definition of a Zionist is 'a supporter of Zionism; a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel' he might qualify.

Oops, that should be The gagging law : 9 for 0 against.

Just read the Tomj going full in the Syria thread, lol omfg, like watching a slow motion car crash.

Its a shame that one of the woat posters itt getting banned will have no effect on community experience because red57 has recently arrived to pick up the baton.

Short man bully cliche

As I recall "one of the worst posters here" widely predicted a Labour resurgence very much against popular sentiment, when you and most of the other snivelling centrists were predicting a tory landslide.

I'd venture his opinions were of more value than yours. You know, by being right about stuff.

can someone please tell me why a portion (most?) of the hard left dont fancy the EU. i watched an old debate between foot and heath on membership of the common market and i'm still not sure what the reasons are. he (foot) went on about parliamentary sovereignty a lot but i dont really how that fits in with the left's overall approach to politics

surely freedom of movement is right up their alley

Hard left dislike free trade.

It's an astonishing coincidence that GBV re-emerges as fellow left-wing dolt/flat earther Tomj gets banned.

Nice post. Thank you.
