Short thread 1/x

To all those that don't follow football, here's a brief explainer of the issue at hand with the #europeansuperleague

There might be some options to unravel this but the main issue is fairness to existing (non breakaway) premier league clubs.
2/x

Each year all the premier league teams play each other twice - once at home and once away.

They play 38 games as part of this competition.

The clubs also compete in other competitions.
3/x

At the end of 38 games the few teams that finish at the top win a chance to compete in the following years european tournaments.

Although this is often the same clubs it can vary year on year. It gives some of the other teams a chance to play in the euro club tournaments.
4/x

With the premier league and other domestic competitions like the League Cup and FA cup - then with international call ups for some players - this can be lots of games for top players.
5/x

The clubs belong to the fans. The history of these clubs go back over 100 years.

Most weeks each game has a 'past' and memories from previous years.

Each week can be an event for some communities to enjoy and support their team.

14.5 Million attendances over a season.

Dominic Cummings involvement with Babylon Health a few years ago.

Hancock visited Babylon and told staff he wanted the NHS to help Babylon expand.

Ali Parsa co-founded also served as CEO of the private healthcare company Circle.

3/x Here's a @BylineTimes article from last year about Ali Parsa and Babylon.

I'm not against innovation and for the NHS employing good technical experts but this is #ToryCronyism

. THREAD 1/x

David Baddiel is getting lots of coverage and feedback on his book which again focuses on so called 'left wing' antisemitism.

I will start by saying that I have seen antisemitic comments made by Labour members and some genuine cases.

However, I have huge concerns.
2/x

Let's look in detail at this article written in April 2019 in the @Guardian - and I will explain the concerns.

The areas highlighted guide you to believe this was all Labour - IT WASN'T.

It also occurred before 2015! Detail follows...

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
3/x

So as you see the writer of this rather deceitful piece starts with

"THAT CHANGED IN SEPTEMBER 2015" 🙄

This was done to point the timeframe as Corbyn's leadership. Yet the article goes on to describe things that are not even related to Labour, which occurred in 2014.

@PerkyWarbeck @BeTheChange800 @WatermelonBloke @RadheSh47372605 @StephenBottrill He started out as a small time agitator, but the real investment came from the links to the 🇨🇦 (Ezra Levant) and 🇺🇸 (Daniel Pipes) neoconservative (pro Israel) right who saw him as a way to engage public opinion in their common cause

The demonisation of Muslims is associated 1/x
@PerkyWarbeck @BeTheChange800 @WatermelonBloke @RadheSh47372605 @StephenBottrill 2/x with the neocons “war on terror” and justification for regime change and wars for oil ⛽️

The exaggeration of Labour anti semitism is also closely associated with the same aim...
@PerkyWarbeck @BeTheChange800 @WatermelonBloke @RadheSh47372605 @StephenBottrill 3/x

If you can justify war by making the public distrust all “Muslims” you need to also diminish and delegitimise those that will challenge your wars

@NickCohen4 @ggreenwald To put it mildly - I DID DO the research

NOT A SMEAR YOU SAY?

Exhibit A

@helenlewis used right wing antisemitism to embellish a story about Labour.

Does that help Jewish people or did it scare them to make them believe this was a Labour's issue?

@NickCohen4 @ggreenwald @helenlewis NOT A SMEAR YOU SAY?

Exhibit B

Tracy Oberman also used right wing antisemitism to embellish a story about Labour.

Did that help Jewish people or did it scare them to make them believe this was a Labour's issue?

It's utterly disgusting to do this!

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Image
@NickCohen4 @ggreenwald @helenlewis NOT A SMEAR YOU SAY?

Exhibit C

Guardian (John Harris, March 2019)

A TERRIBLE dishonest article that embeds a video by Luciana Berger where she describes "6 People Prosecuted" - fails to mention NONE WERE LABOUR MEMBERS!

Nasty evil liars.

A THREAD 1/x

In 2014 Luciana Berger received truly horrible antisemitic abuse from a coordinated attack by a right wing group.

This was the abuse that later led to her requiring security, during court cases against some of these vile individuals.

REMEMBER - The Labour leader at this time was Ed Miliband. A Jew himself.

Look how it was reported. @DPJHodges did this piece in the Telegraph.

It criticises Ed Miliband but praises John Mann - and then uses it to attach Miliband on Israel.

telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
3/x February 2015

The next year with the court cases against the vile antisemites starting we had these reports - Ed Miliband was still leader

It gives details of the messages Luciana Berger received. Truly disgusting
