Seems that the latest #BashCorbyn frenzy is 'why doesn't he apologise?'

So:

I want an apology from every member of the 2016 'Chicken Coup'.

I want an apology for all those members expelled for spurious reasons during the 2016 leadership election. 1/4
I want an apology from every LAB MP/'grand olde' spokes(wo)man who ever insulted a member.

I want an apology from every MP/party member who has ever told a lie about Jeremy Corbyn.

I want an apology from every MP/LPC/Councillor who didn't get fully behind the... 2/4
.... #GE17 or #GE19 Manifestos.

I want an apology from everyone who has pushed in the last two years for LAB to be a/the 'Remain' Party (I voted Remain).

I want an apology from every MP who credits only themselves for wins and blames only Corbyn for losses. 3/4
I want an apology from every LAB politician and member who refuses to engage in honest, open, reflective, comradely debate about our present and our future.

#JustSaying 4/4

After yesterday's #channel4news I've been trying to think why some might see Johnson as a 'lovable baffoon':

- his premiership (and personal life) is based on lies & lying is his default position.

- he has made it clear, again & again, that he sides with the richest...1/4
...& the bankers at the expense of us all.

- his intense dislike and distain for women, for working class people & his racism, his homophibia are clear for all to see.

- he has failed again and again in parliament, is generally ill-prepared & is often hardly coherent. 2/4
- he avoids tough questions - from voters, from the media, from colleagues - whenever he can.

So, nasty, incompetent coward seems a far better description.

We can blame long-believed historical ideology that the #Tories are born to rule & voting for them shows our...

When folk say (and I've heard it a few times now) 'I disagree with 99% of everything that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour stand for.' I wonder:

- do they want old ladies to lie in the street for 3 hours waiting for an ambulance?

- do they want children to go to school hungry? 1/6
- do they want homelessness to rise?

- do they want public sector workers to suffer such high levels of stress that they leave their jobs?

- do they want suicide to increase?

- do they want 1000s of families to continue to live in fire-risk accomodation? 2/6
- do they want the continued severe under-funding of mental health services?

- do they want the pension age to rise, and rise, and rise?

- do they want young people to be saddled with 10s of thousands of pounds of debt after leaving university? 3/6

1. When I was at school I had a teacher who said that everyone should take 10 years off between school & higher education. I didn't quite do that as I trained to be a nursery nurse after school but after 8 years of work (as NN & in clerical positions) I started a degree aged 28.
2. My undergraduate (and post-graduate) studies were both fee-free and supported by grant/bursary. I've been teaching & mentoring in HE for nearly three decades now and that those I teach & support have not had such advantages makes me ANGRY. I get frustrated too when students...
3. ...are unable to concentrate because they are tired from doing the jobs they need to do to survive.

When I studied, and first began to teach, there were many mature students. There are hardly any now.

SO: how exciting, how very needed are @UkLabour's plans for a...

Thread - Rep. Nunes Destroys Democrats in His Closing Statement

1. Uhhhh, what on Earth did the Democrats think they were going to accomplish by staging the tightly-controlled impeachment hearings this week?
2. Did they really think that the witnesses they carefully screened before the public hearings were going to move the impeachment needle in their direction?
3. Did they seriously believe that opinion, hearsay, conjecture, and third-hand “evidence” from these witnesses would lay the groundwork for articles of impeachment?

Just 20 minutes after Donald Trump was sworn in on January 20, 2017, The Washington Post ran a prophetic headline declaring, “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun.”
That headline foretold how, for 30 months, the Democrat Party (with its Leftmedia public relations conglomerates), would collude with deep-state operatives in the CIA and FBI, essentially saboteur holdovers from the Obama administration, to undermine the Trump administration.

Want to watch a spacewalk with me?
Let's start with some vocabulary.

APFR - articulated portable foot restraint.
ORU bag - Orbital Replacement Unit
crewlock bag - A bag used to haul equipment around on a spacewalk
A gap spanner is basically a cloth handrail that spans the gap between two handrails.

When they say "good pull-test." They mean that literally.

My mother was twelve years old when Oswald Mosley held a rally in Swansea. Her maiden name could be construed as a Jewish name so she and her brothers and sisters endured all kinds of hate and bullying as a consequence. /2
2/ I was far younger than 12 when she taught me that fascism is hate. I can’t think of a time when I didn’t know what fascism was. It was an extraordinary thing to teach a young child, now I look back on it, but she would never allow us to say “I hate”. /3
3/ She had lived through the slump, the fascism of the 30s and the second world war. All before she was 25. She would say: “You are not to hate. Hate kills. If you hate, you kill.” Rather, we had to find a solution to whatever the thing was that we hated. /4
