We need to talk about Rachael Swindon: a thread about one of the most influential social media accounts in Britain...>
Like Novara Media, Swindon is part of the group of Corbyn’s unofficial media spokespeople. They coordinate his public messaging...> thetimes.co.uk/article/corbyn…
Rachael Swindon is so important, that at Westminster she was applauded by leadership office staff and also treated like royalty at the ‘Labour Live’ event by Corbyn’s chief of staff...> google.co.uk/amp/s/www.buzz…
The unfairness in our society needs to be changed. But like many Corbyn cheerleaders, Swindon wraps her concerns up in antisemitism...>
When it comes to unfairness, Swindon focuses the blame on the Jewish name used by antisemitic conspiracists for hundreds of years. ‘Rothschild’...>
Here she posts an article by notorious antisemitic conspiracy theorist Craig Murray. Again, she focuses on the ‘Rothschild’ part of this David Icke style conspiracy...>
More on Craig Murray here...> hurryupharry.org/2018/03/15/cra…
Swindon also tweets out ‘casual’ antisemitism using racist stereotypes. So in reply to YouGov, a Jewish MP who complained about antisemitism is held responsible. She’s called an ‘agent’ - a fifth column, sabotaging on behalf of another power...>
Swindon mocks a Jewish person complaining about experiencing Labour antisemitism, labelling people who do so as ‘cretins’...>
She also uses the stereotype of Jews, money and influence. The truth is LFI didn’t have a stall due to the intimidation, thanks to Labour antisemitism - enabled by influencers like Rachael Swindon...>
Swindon’s fellow unofficial Labour spokespeople encourage her. They claim to fight antisemitism while happily turning a blind eye to her problematic comments...>
She is supported by another of Corbyn’s media mouthpieces, Skwawkbox. They’ve written 8 articles on her that I found. IPSO designated fake news merchants, Skwawkbox are also known for antisemitism...>
Like Skwawkbox, Swindon also pushes out fake news. Here she states the false and awful idea that Labour antisemitism was a good thing, because it motivated an influx of people to join Labour...>
For someone supposedly concerned with making society a kinder place, she’s all heart when it comes to Jewish people who feel Labour is too hostile to stay...>
Swindon also celebrated a mob rallying against an MP at his constituency surgery, intimidating vulnerable people seeking his help. It was an MP who also happens to be vocally against antisemitism...>
Rachael Swindon represents how Labour scapegoat the Jewish community to illustrate inequality. Far from creating a fairer society, Swindon actively sabotages the prospect of one. \end
*Footnote: There appears to be a pattern of Rachael Swindon retweeting nasty posts by some virulently antisemitic accounts...>
For example, notorious antisemite Scott Nelson, infamous for ranting about Tesco and M&S having ‘Jewish blood’. The post Swindon shared was about the daughter of a Jewish MP working for the BBC, and how she is part of a conspiracy (H/T @jamieexp_) ...>
Swindon also shared a post by a close associate of Sally Eason, who prolifically targets Jewish accounts. @jewishlabour took the unprecedented step of publicly chastising Bastani for retweeting Eason. This post is about the antisemitic ‘smear factory’...>
Swindon also retweets Dorset Eye, a community website used as cover to spread antisemitic hatred. They were featured by @antisemitism ...>
The ugly material coming from these notoriously unsavoury sources reveals something about Rachael Swindon. Conspiratorial antisemitism is consistent with her own way of thinking. \end
