Jeremy Corbyn and Tariq Ali are very old and dear friends, going back decades.

So it is no surprise to see Tariq issue a "solidarity message" to this upcoming meeting, which is one of the ugliest rallies for antisemitism yet, in a very crowded swamp. 1/5

The meeting features Chris Williamson, the walking disgrace pushed out by Labour last year; Jackie Walker, expelled from Labour in 2019; newly suspended Moshé Machover; and the notorious antisemite Tony Greenstein, expelled from Labour in 2018. 2/5
Kerry-Anne Mendoza of the Canary hate site is also on the list. This will probably make no difference whatsoever to Labour figures such as Ian Lavery MP - they will happily continue to associate with her, surely. 3/5
David Miller, the deranged and hateful academic who can spot Zionist plots in chicken soup, is also scheduled to speak. He left Labour earlier this year. You know why. 4/5

Leah Levane, co-chair of the support group for antisemites known as "Jewish Voice for Labour", is listed as well.

She is a Labour councillor in Hastings. Why is she still in the party?

Come on Labour, here are some of your "roots", get tearing out. 5/5

*Thread* The Islamist pressure group MEND and the Socialist Worker Party front “Stand Up To Racism” are a fine pairing.

They say they oppose racism. But when it comes to antisemitism, they are part of the problem. So any posturing at this meeting should be rejected. 1/12
Awareness is rising. Earlier this year, Tower Hamlets council refused to host a "Stand Up To Racism” event featuring Glyn Secker, a far left activist who has accused Jewish leaders of being “in the gutter” with “rats” of the far right. 2/12

There’s more to say. This time, about the SWP activist Nahella Ashraf, scheduled to speak at the event this weekend.

In 2018, the antisemitic hardcore, including Chris Williamson and Tony Greenstein, assembled outside Labour’s headquarters to demonstrate against the… 3/12

*Thread* Why does the Labour MP Barry Sheerman work with the nasty Islamist group MEND?

He went to all the trouble of recording a friendly video meeting with them last month and then the video was disappeared without a trace.

Why might that have happened? 1/9 Image
Saqib Saddiq, Sheerman’s host in the video and a MEND “working group” volunteer in Huddersfield, might provide a clue. Perhaps someone had a look at him? His Facebook account has also been wiped clean. 2/9
Here is a sample, preserved from the good old days – "lobby" money corrupting British politics. A commenter makes this explicit and Saddiq “likes” his words. Oh, and another: the Board of Deputies of British Jews is “institutionally racist”. 3/9 ImageImage

*Thread* MEND is an utterly reprehensible extremist outfit. So it is no surprise to see they are now promoting the Islamist preacher Uthman Lateef, a supporter of death cult terrorists. 1/8 Image
There's lots to say about Lateef. But just one episode will give you the picture. Here he is speaking up for Mohammed Hamid, a "dear brother", "locked up unfairly under false terrorism charges". "Keep him in your prayers", Lateef tells Muslims. 2/8 Image
Meet Mohammed Hamid and his band. 52 dead in London in the 7/7 bombings? "That's not even a breakfast for me", says Hamid. 3/8

*Thread* On the eve of the EHRC report on antisemitism in the Labour party, reform and action are urgently needed.

One place where Labour can start is Mend. Some of its people still lend this reprehensible Islamist group legitimacy. Kirk Master of Leicester, for example. 1/17
Mend has an awful record on antisemitism. The latest ugly episode - just this week - is typical. 2/17
thejc.com/news/uk/mend-i…
Important as it is, there is more to this than antisemitism.

Since Kirk Master is Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner, perhaps he would listen to seasoned officers who know just what Mend is?

That goes for scheduled speaker Isla Dixon of Leicestershire Police too. 3/17

*Thread* The Islamic Centre of England is a Khomeinist lair in Maida Vale. Its mission is to promote vicious hatred.

This was made coldly clear earlier this year, when it saluted the Iranian mass murderer Qassem Soleimani. 1/9
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
The events prompted the Charity Commission to issue an official warning to the Centre, which is a registered charity. This included "a review of its speaker policy". 2/9
apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/schemes/512449…
Here's the speech at the heart of the story. It is a paean to Soleimani by Massoud Shadjareh of the self-styled Islamic Human Rights Commission, another Khomeinist outfit in London. "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!" chants followed. 3/9

*Thread* MEND is a nasty Islamist pressure group. It has a long record of antisemitism, promotion of some of the UK's worst hate preachers, and entirely unprincipled opposition to Prevent.

It remains true to form, as you will see with its invite to Gareth Bryant this week. 1/11
Bryant is a self-styled "chaplain" from New York City. So, what does he make of the American troubles? Attack the police, maybe? Hell yes! "Let it burn!" 2/11
What about sprinting over one of the IHRA antisemitism definition red lines? Yes!

"..the Palestinians have been made to take the place of the Jews & other oppressed Peoples of the era, while the Zionists have taken the place of the Nazis & Fascists." 3/11
