This is the only tweet I sent to Claudia Webb and she has now blocked me. I genuinely though it was a fair question.
I am troubled by her defence of Ken and Williamson but appreciate that people can be complicated and she has said she is a genuine anti-racist. So asked the question. Anyway
I also know how being piled on can feel and it is tempting to block or at least mute everyone without discrimination. But it’s a bit of a contrast with her statements vociferously defending herself.

This is so well done
It's also thoughtful and interesting! Really great political communication from @PeoplesMomentum who along with the Leave campaign (unfortunately) are the best in the business

Two things which I am not sure about re a Lib/Lab 'remain' alliance:
1. Lab are a 2nd Ref party but *not* a remain party. They have no policy to support remain. Though their policies make remain more likely
2. Swinson has said Corbyn isn't fit to be PM and she won't prop up
I totally understand why a Lib-Lab pact would be best for the remain cause, as in combination those two parties make remain more likely. I just don't understand it from the Lib perspective, particularly if they won't have coalition with Corbyn-led Labour in any event.
It's all very well to say to the Libs 'stop being so selfish and get with the remain programme' but given Labour is neutral on Brexit, not remain, + Corbyn, there are some decent principle objections in response.

“Consider...George W. Bush. Tens of thousands of people are dead because his administration lied to the American public about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and then, based on that lie, launched a war that’s now in its 16th year.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
“After Hurricane Katrina struck and hundreds of people drowned in New Orleans, Bush twiddled his thumbs for days. Rather than fire the officials responsible for the government’s lackluster response to the crisis, he praised them, before flying over the scene in Air Force One.”
“He opposed basic human rights for LGBT people, and reproductive rights for women, and did more to empower the American Christian right than any president since Reagan.”

How can we as #Americans accept that our government is responsible for the #genocide of #Yemeni civilians? How can we as a society not demand by every means necessary for the world's greatest #Humanitarian #Crisis to end?

#Yemen before #War
#Yemen a beautiful country full of beautiful #Yemeni who simply want to be left in peace. A country that's only fault is it's location in the world. A location that for the #US is strategically located close to #SaudiArabia, #Iran, and #Israel.
The #UnitedStates #Indoctrination and #Propaganda machine #FakeNews would have the American people believe we are helping to ensure peace and stability in the region. This is a claim that by now ALL AMERICANS should know is false!

"People have normalcy bias. They assume that if it's really as bad as what we've been saying, that someone will intervene. That's been one of the most dangerous assumptions of this entire crisis." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24843802
"They thought the Obama admin, FBI, etc would intervene in 2016. Instead -- nothing. When we were attacked in the most insidious way, from within, people with power did nothing. Same is true in the UK. No real moral stance or protection." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24843802
"Now we have a Russian asset in the White House. He's backed by a transnational crime syndicate. They've been giving and selling state secrets to hostile actors for years. We will not recover from this easily, if at all." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24843802

1. 🚨 Patreon Rant 🚨

I wasn’t going to weigh in on this because I’m not a #Patreon user and at this rate not sure I will ever be one but I’ve been following the commentary and have some thoughts.
2. If you haven’t been paying attention here’s an article

3. Most of the commentary I’ve seen about Sargon of Akkad (Carl Benjamin) getting kicked off Patreon with no warning has focused on their arbitrarily making up rules and enforcing them on the fly + CEO Jack Conte’s apparent misdirection.
