NEW: Shadow minister apologises over 'antisemitic conspiracy'
- @UKLabour's shadow immigration minister Afzal Khan has said he is "sincerely sorry" after sharing what he described as "an antisemitic conspiracy" on social media.
(Thread)

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
The post in question features a video of the US comedian Jon Stewart talking about the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and was posted when Mr Khan (@Afzal4Gorton) was a @UKLabour MEP in 2015.
2/9
Underneath the video the text prominently refers to an "Israel-British-Swiss-Rothschilds crime syndicate" and "mass murdering Rothschilds Israeli mafia criminal liars".
The post has been deleted but has been archived:

Mr Khan also shared a video allegedly sourced from a Far Right website - again the post has been deleted by Mr Khan, but has been archived and a link is below.

The Facebook evidence was provided to the @BBC by voluntary group @LabourAgainstAS.
5/9
They also provided evidence of Gorton MP Afzal Khan recently ‘liking’ another Facebook post claiming @jeremycorbyn was "the target of a relentless smear campaign, orchestrated by the wealthy establishment".
6/9
LAAS spokesman, @EuanPhilipps, called for Mr Khan to be removed from the party:
“Afzal Khan, Labour MP for Gorton, has a track record of seemingly promoting and endorsing anti-Jewish views. It is a pattern of behaviour that must lead to his expulsion from the Labour Party.”
7/9
“On Monday, Jeremy Corbyn proposed changes to Labour's complaints system to speed up the expulsion of members over antisemitism.”
8/9
“It is now time for those changes to be put into action, for Mr Corbyn to demonstrate his commitment to tackling antisemitism, and for Mr Khan to be quickly removed from the Labour Party.”
END

Tom Watson 'undermining' Labour on antisemitism to 'attack leadership'
- NEC member Darren Williams, in a recording passed to Sky News, claims the party's deputy was trying to "promote his own position".
(Thread)
news.sky.com/story/tom-wats…
@EuanPhilipps, spokesperson for @LabourAgainstAS said:
"Darren Williams' comments fail to acknowledge the scale and depth of the Labour Party's antisemitism crisis.”

“@tom_watson was right to attempt to intervene because the situation has been getting worse by the day.”
2/4
"It is bizarre that Mr Williams, who himself opposed the suspension of [Labour MP] Chris Williamson and the adoption of the IHRA definition, should attack Mr Watson for doing so."

@jeremycorbyn @SELabour @jonlansman @lloyd_rm
Greg Hadfield was first suspended in 2014 for 11 mths over claims he had bullied fellow members, including jumping out at @SELabour’s regional director from behind a bin.
He was suspended again in Oct 2016 for alleged intimidating behaviour & only reinstated in Feb this year.
2/9
During this time, he remained a member of @PeoplesMomentum, even serving on its steering committee and helping to draw up its slates when candidates for this year’s elections were selected.

NEW: @LabourAgainstAS Submits Major Report to Equalities & Human Rights Commission:
'Demands for @jeremycorbyn's @UKLabour to face full-scale antisemitism probe with 'damning dossier' alleging hundreds of incidents of anti-Jewish prejudice'
(Thread)
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
- A 15,000 page digital dossier was delivered by antisemitism campaigners to @EHRC - It alleges 'endemic' anti-Jewish behaviour throughout the Labour party
- And it claims to reveal the party's 'don't care' attitude towards the problem
2/7
@EHRC said that it had yet to decide whether to launch a full investigation into how @UKLabour handled claims of antisemitism.
@LabourAgainstAS revealed that it had submitted a detailed dossier involving over 15,000 screenshots taken from 100s of Labour members '& officials'.

Far Left Hate Watch ❌Labour is a racist endeavour
@FarLeftHate
For people who have been involved in politics for a longtime, this is not the first documented outbreak of #LabourAntisemitism amongst the Far Left of the party but this time it is different for many reasons which I will now explain. 1/8
The last time @UKLabour had a truly Socialist leader was Neil Kinnock, who also found himself attracting a great army of undesirable members (as is always the case) under Socialism, many of whom were #AntiSemitic but he had most of them expelled from @UKLabour. 2/8
It may even have cost him the chance to become PM, but fortunately we will never know. so now fast forward to the election of #Corbyn as leader of @UKLabour a man with an extremely well documented past for siding with terrorist organisations - in particular anti-Israel ones. 3/8

[NEW THREAD]

Unfortunately, for many there aren't viable pathways to citizenship. My family included.

See this video by @MatthewSoerens vimeo.com/293240885

#immigration
2/ Some of you have asked, “How could they have lived here for 19 years and still have been considered legal?” They were covered under various visas while petitions were filed over the years. A couple of those petitions (one filed in 2012) are STILL being processed.
3/ Yes, this happens. Don’t believe the false narrative that all immigrants can just fill out a few papers, pay a couple of fees, and suddenly they’re citizens. Again, see this video: vimeo.com/293240885

If we are merely a LARP asking questions on the Chans, why are we being attacked daily by some of the world's biggest media co's, social media co's deliberately applying censorship/banning, shills paid/inserted to disrupt (media matters), blue checkmark coordinated attacks, etc?
All for a '#conspiracy' on the Chans?
All for a '#LARP'?
Why is there a constant flow of disinformation being pushed re: Q?
Example:
#Disinformation push re: #Mueller is a white hat.
FAKE & FALSE narrative.
Think #BLOCKADE.

FYI 15 q posts with BLOCKADE mentioned
When you can't attack the info directly, you attack the source, if that fails, you 'create false misleading info' to discredit knowing 'select' 'unaware' followers would not take the time to self-corroborate the claims (same vehicle/tactics used by #FAKENEWS media).

1/ BREAKING: @TheJusticeDept has just authorized immigration judges to deny #asylum applications without a hearing. Like most Trump-era administrative violence, it has been unnoticed & unreported.

*sound of Scotch pouring into glass*

THREAD

#TrumpImmigration #HereToStay
2/ Important context: As head of @TheJusticeDept, the Attorney General has final say over all cases before the administrative #immigration courts. AG may snatch a case away from the Board of Immigration Appeals anytime and decide it himself by directing BIA to refer it to him.
3/ Here is the 2014 BIA holding--upholding precedent from 1989--which the AG was so intent on getting to his own desk. It may not mean much to anyone who had the good sense not to go to law school, but take a shot. (No, really: *take an actual shot* and give it a try.)
