Good luck @julie_etch!

Like many voters, I'd really like to hear the #ToryLeadershipContest candidates be confronted about their funding from climate-change deniers.

Please also ask them what they mean by 'woke' without fobbing us off with the usual guff about 'free speech' (which everyone believes in) Critical Race Theory (which they have no clue about), & the antisemitic conspiracy theory of 'cultural Marxism'. 🙏

The latest installment in the Corbyn anti-Jewish racism saga sent me down an orthoepic route. Why, exactly, is Jewish Twitter so up in arms about his pronunciation of “Epstein” as “Ep-shtine” rather than “Ep-steen”? Why was I so shocked when he said it last night? (A thread) /1
First, a rider. This is obviously not about Epstein’s posthumous rights to correct pronunciation. He lost those rights when he committed his crimes. /2
No, the reason we care is because even in this primetime moment, Corbyn’s attempt to put the past behind him and sell himself as prime ministerial, he just can’t help himself inserting a subtle racist dig at the British Jews watching. /3

This is a lie

There are at least 130 outstanding antisemitism cases, some dating back years, that still haven’t been dealt with. The Party haven’t bothered to investigate the cases properly or make decisions. This is the tip of the iceberg /1

Corbyn and Labour’s total failure to deal with antisemites has seen it be investigated by the EHRC for institutional anti-Jewish racism.

They don’t launch major investigations without cause, and the investigation continues through the election /2
Today @JewishLabour submitted its final submission. The culmination of 18 months work with @Mishcon_de_Reya, documenting thousands of pages of evidence and argument.

Over 70 witnesses, including activists, officers, staff and politicians have given sworn testimony /3

Why is the moderator not correcting Johnson’s lies? What is the point of a moderator if they let people spout untruths without challenge? This is a shitshow. #ITVLeadersDebate
Corbyn’s claim about having addressed antisemitism is allowed to pass without comment, as Johnson repeats the “40 new hospitals” lie for a third time.

Seriously. Moderate this.

And the audience should shut the hell up as well. The whooping and hollering and laughing is tedious and you should frankly all be gagged and bound and bundled into a van. #ITVLeadersDebate
