This thread is exactly right.

It beggars belief that the Labour leadership still engage with Jewish Voice for Labour, a totally irresponsible organisation which is part of the problem not the solution
See also the JVL founder recently telling the Radio 4 PM audience that antisemitism requires a sense of impending violence - this is an irresponsible organisation which should be at the fringe of this issue, not at its centre
John McDonnell is an active supporter of JVL’s founder
If the Labour Party leadership took antisemitism more seriously than protecting their allies they would disown JVL

For those of you who do not follow this issue as ridiculously closely as I do, there is currently a pretty unattractive spat going on within the Labour Party as to which faction is ‘to blame’ for the utter disaster which is its handling of anti-Semitism...
... and this seems now to have led to rival leaks of internal emails by different factions, with accusations and counter-accusations. I have no doubt there is some backstabbing within the party (that seems to now be a standard mode of behaviour)...
...But an average person might reasonably ask whether it is *as important as it seems to those embedded in the factional culture* which faction is responsible for which bit of this omnishambles. Ultimately, this institution has a *leader* who has taken almost no responsibility...

This is quite a letter of resignation from a former Labour minister - the full excoriating text is in the thread 🔥🔥🔥
Quite
It's shocking when you read the case against Corbyn's leadership plainly laid out. The wrong leader for the wrong time - unbending, factional, at times cowardly - and a huge waste of youthful enthusiasm around socialist ideas. Labour should have been preparing for a landslide now

I’m not the biggest fan of Jonathan Sumption but did anyone out there feel in the slightest bit enlightened by the long interview with him on @BBCr4today? I thought it was vague and incoherent.
I know he’s a very clever man so why did it sound like a right wing bloke complaining about the ‘modern state of politics’ by the water cooler?

Typical exchange
Sumption “It’s bad”
Interviewer: “But how bad?”
You may think I’m being grumpy but I attended the first Reith lecture (to be broadcast next week) and I was expecting something aggravating to my politics but at least coherent. I found it to be thin and lacking in rigour. Perhaps the other lectures will be better

1. With the AEC finally confirming registration of Fraser Anning’s Conservative National Party, here’s a #thread on far-right parties in Australia ahead of the federal election #auspol.
2. First, a definition. The most common (but not only) interpretation of ‘far right’ comes from @CasMudde, who distinguishes the far right on the basis of an ideological core of nativism in what is still my favourite book (pictured) on the far right.
3. Mudde describes nativism as: “An ideology, which holds that states should be inhabited exclusively by members of the native group (‘the nation’) and that non-native elements (persons and ideas) are fundamentally threatening to the homogenous nation-state” (2007: 19).

Are You Planning To Give Up?
Most of d important things in d world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying wen there seemed to be no hope at all. You do what U can for as long as U can & wen U finally can't U do d next best thing.

#ThursdayThoughts
When U’re pursuing a worthwhile goal, it’s almost inevitable that at some point you'll think 1/more of these:
-This is harder than I thought it would be.
-Why is dis taking so long?
-I'm getting nowhere with dis.
-I keep failing at dis goal.
-I can’t do dis; What was I thinking?
...And when you do have one or more of these thoughts, it’s very likely that you will want to give up. When that happens, remember to come back to this #Thread to stop yourself from quitting.
Follow it through...

Whelp time to get this done. #Thread on the absolutely embarrassing loss that the #SDF just took in the #Hajin pocket.

DISCLAIMER: This thread will contain heavy amounts of salt.
At the time of this tweet, information I received was 3 hours old and attacks were ongoing.

#DMC forces had been forced out of the area in #Susah blocking #Marashidah wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3… and were holding positions in the Palestine neighborhood
wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3…

DMC retreated to areas with #YPG in this neighborhood. At this time inghimasi units appeared from tunnels behind and within the YPG positions. Because apparently no one had fully cleared the area. This caused a serious issue and caused YPG to retreat.

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy. #Thread
Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15
