@thelittleleftie Rosie, I’m sure you mean well. Abuse is horrible for anyone to receive. But what possible motive could I have for wanting to smear with lies about AS? He’s a pic of my with my friend of many years @_NatashaDevon, Labour supporter & mental health legend, and @lucianaberger... 
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger Labour MP, MH champion and subject of the most hideous Antisemitic abuse from outside and within her own party. Plenty of Labour member are up in arms with what’s going on within their party, is it all a smear? @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth to name a few.
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth I’ve rarely mentioned being Jewish before as religiously I’m atheist, culturally I’m Man United and I’ve always felt like a strange hybrid. But I’ve know lan from studying the Holocaust that that’s irrelevant to Antisemites, and I feel the injustice extremely strongly.
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth Since entering this conversation, I’ve seen the hideousness that I learnt about in all its waking glory. I’ve seen bizarre and appalling conspiracy stories that’s made me research Jewish history pre-Holocaust for the first time. & I’m trying to work out where AS comes from & why.
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth I listened to the voices of the Jewish community who’ve been stamping their feet to get this issue recognised, and I’ve researched it. Far more than I’d ever want to. There are far more fun things I could be doing. Receiving abuse, & tackling controversial issues is not the best
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth Career move. Quiet, un-opinionated women are much more marketable, but I don’t care. Because this is serious. You can have a @UKLabour party who fight for people AND don’t promote or ignore antisemitism. But you’ll have to fight for it now.
@thelittleleftie @_NatashaDevon @lucianaberger @JohnMannMP @IanAustinMP @margarethodge @RuthSmeeth @UKLabour I imagine you’ve received a lot of praise for echoing popular opinion on this, but they’re not the type of people I’d be wanting praise from. If you have ANY questions on this, just ask. I have nothing to hide, and I’m far from ashamed.
