*Thread* Since John McDonnell is being discussed today, don't forget his take on Maxine Peake saying US police forces learned to lean on necks "from seminars with Israeli secret services". This led to Rebecca Long-Bailey's sacking from the front bench. John had another view. 1/4 
Not antisemitic, oh no, not at all. Solidarity! Indeed, as Starmer decried "antisemitic conspiracy theories", John's view was "bring RLB back". Sign the petition! 2/4
There is nothing of any real substance that is "sensible" about McDonnell when it comes to antisemitism. At times, he's more tactically crafty than Corbyn, that is all. The truth is that he is intensely comfortable with people being filthy antisemites, to nick a Labour line. 3/4
The party's "new management" needs to deal with this.
Don't buy his lies.
Don't buy his lies.
