I don’t believe that @Womans_Place_UK is a hate group and those saying it is are very wrong
And of course this is a very serious issue and @johnmcdonnellMP an @UKLabour politician who I have various disagreements appears to agree with me
He met @Womans_Place_UK womansplaceuk.org/wpuk-john-mcdo…
But maybe Dawn Butler, who also met @Womans_Place_UK has something to say about this
womansplaceuk.org/statement-on-m…
So in summary I doubt if two leading members of @UKLabour Shadow Cabinet would meet with @Womans_Place_UK if they believed they were a hate group
As a member of @UKLabour I am happy to support them as I believe it is vital they are involved in this debate

So purple didn’t win but here goes
I haven’t been well all week - a nasty stomach bug including D&V the GP agreed to see me this afternoon but asked I bring a sample with me
So I did the usual thing and places the small tube thing in a small sealed freezer bag
I placed the bag in a sealed Jiffy bag and off I went
I was a bit paranoid about carrying it in my pocket and it leaking so I did what I guess most people would do and carried the envelope in my hand
On the bus I was messing about on twitter and the envelope was on the seat beside me - the bus wasn’t busy and we trundled off through London
As we approached a stop a young(ish) bloke stood next to me and was polite - exchanging a smile and a nod

This is the @guardian tweet promoting the @tom_watson interview - harmless enough and it runs with a quote from the interview
The interview talks about toxicity in politics
What happens next ...
“Doing the bidding for the Israelis”
And of course there’s more
“Working for a foreign power”
And a banner makes it clear who he is talking about

The morning after the night before
East Devon I guess the mountain was to high to climb and some would say that was the message of the whole election but they would be wrong - Labour didn’t try to climb the mountain we sat around talking about how mountains could be different
It was a disaster for @UKLabour and all those involved at the very top need to take full responsibility
It wasn’t just a Brexit election but the tories has a simply and intoxicating message - get Brexit done and look forward not back
Labour’s message of a new and better country, about the young and how change was coming, we talked about the future BUT in the final week we talked about Thatcher
We talked about bringing communities together but we had destroyed our relationship with the Jewish community

Dispatches from the witch trials:

The first time I met Kate Scottow was outside the Linda Bellos/ Venice Allen trial

Linda & Venice walked out free women with their names cleared that day.
The next day Kate was arrested

14 months later she was tried under section 127 (2) of Comms Act for "persistently using a public electronic comms network for purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety"

-> up to 6 mths prison, up to £5K fine
Generally this has is used to mean things like making 100s of nuisance calls

The court heard about 15 (!) tweets posted over a 7 month period Sept 18 - Mar 19

This is how it began: In September 2018 Kate had tweeted: “Lets hope they take a serious stance on your racism”.

🔴 As we mark #HumanRightsDay, a devastating new @EURightsAgency Report on #Antisemitism in #Europe underscores how alarming situation has become.

You can read full report, most extensive in years, here: bit.ly/2Qovhjh

But thread below on some of these jarring figures:
@EURightsAgency @TimmermansEU @VeraJourova @kschnurbein @EUinIsrael @EGiaufretEU @IsraelinEU ➡️ 90% of Jews feel #Antisemitism has increased over past 5 years.

➡️ 89% of Jews think Antisemitism is most problematic on the internet & on social media.

➡️ 71% avoid Jewish symbols (e.g., kippah, Star of David, etc) in public things that could identify them as Jewish.

@EURightsAgency @TimmermansEU @VeraJourova @kschnurbein @EUinIsrael @EGiaufretEU @IsraelinEU ➡️ 85% of Jews consider #Antisemitism to be the biggest social or political problem in their home country;

➡️ 28% of respondents have been harassed at least once in the past year, with those being visibly Jewish most effected;

UK’s @AmbassadorAllen:

#Novichok is not a weapon that can be manufactured by non-state actors… #Russia has provided no credible explanation… Therefore, we have no alternative but to conclude that the #Russian state was responsible [for a chemical weapons attack on my country].
This was an attack on #UK soil… #Russia is failing to comply with the conditions of the Chemical Weapons Convention…

Let us turn to the part of the CWC that #Russia is not talking about - Russia did not declare #Novichok & is therefore in serious breach of the CWC.
This was a reckless act… #Russia officials have repeatedly threatened those they consider traitors, before & after March 4 attack.

Russia has a history of political assassinations, interfering in other countries & a total disregard for civilian life.
