Quick update on this.. since @EuanPhilipps and @LabourAgainstAS studiously ignored my requests to disclose the 'substantial body of evidence' they claimed to have compiled and submitted on me in relation to antisemitism, I made a subject access request to @UKLabour...
Unfortunately, in keeping with other examples of the party doing everything it can to undermine the most basic of democratic rights, @UKLabour have unlawfully ignored my SAR in spite of repeated requests for a response...
I will now be making a formal complaint to @iconews. In the meantime, I reiterate my appeal to @LabourAgainstAS and @EuanPhilipps to disclose the evidence they claim to have on me...
Since I am requesting it and I am no longer a Labour member, there is absolutely no reason for them to withhold, unless of course they are not quite as confident in their 'evidence' as they publicly claimed.

Either way, this is aint going away.

A thread in response:

I’ve always admired the work of @medialens. Both their critical alerts on mainstream media coverage and their efforts to engage politely and constructively with journalists has been a big influence on my own research as well activism. However...
their critical review of this new book about @Guardian betrays, I think, a fairly recurrent and fundamental flaw in their analysis of the media...
Their review opens with a reference to what Chomsky and others have articulated as the ‘non-conspiratorial conformity’ of mainstream media journalists...

since @LabourAgainstAS seem to have gone a little coy about this, I'll take an educated guess at what's in their 'substantial body of evidence' against me...

1. They'll accuse me of sharing a platform with Jackie Walker whom I have publicly criticised...
Because like anyone with an ounce of sanity, I don't believe a person with Jewish heritage who then chooses to marry and spend their life with another person from an orthodox Jewish family, who observes Jewish rituals and customs, actually hates Jews...
2. They'll say I defended/supported/campaigned for Chris Williamson because I objected to his suspension and believe that, like Ken Livingstone, people who say insensitive and silly things sometimes are not necessarily antisemitic...

@TheCanaryUK, journalism and free speech:

Like all news outlets, The Canary produces good and bad journalism. The same can be said of the Guardian, BBC and even the Daily Mail...
I don't agree with some of its editorial positions and at times I find some of the reporting over simplistic. But it also does extremely rigorous, well-sourced and informative analysis that addresses issues often overlooked by mainstream press (cf its reporting on Venezuela)...
What is relatively unique is the degree to which The Canary has been attacked by the left, centre and right. This is partly because of a perception that it has challenged the reach of mainstream media, especially on social media...

1. A timeline of Jeremy Corbyn’s key interventions and public statements about tackling antisemitism...
2. In April 2016 Jeremy Corbyn said he wanted to ensure the party took robust action against any member expressing anti-Jewish sentiments.

#LabourLeaks show Corbyn emailed then General Secretary Iain McNicol in April about antisemitic tweets, asking the party to take action.
3. #LabourLeaks also show emails where Corbyn and John McDonnell make proposals to tackle antisemitism including efficient processes, detailed guidance on antisemitism, and forming a group of Jewish communal bodies and representatives to advise the Party on tackling antisemitism.

As pressure mounts on universities to adopt the controversial IHRA definition of antisemitism, below is a snapshot list of individuals and institutions who have warned against its use in any kind of formal code... And still journalists frame it as ‘universal’ and ‘consensual’:
Kenneth Stern – Director of the Bard Center for the Study of Hate and the chief drafter of the original IHRA definition who said in 2019 it “was never intended to be a campus hate speech code”
Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC
Stephen Sedley – former appeal court judge
David Feldman – Director of Pears Institute for the Study of Antisemitism
Geoffrey Robertson QC
Hugh Tomlinson QC...

Like any political leader, Corbyn had his flaws. But the greatest threat to the established order is that history will remember him as a fundamentally decent, honest and principled leader who stood, and almost won, on a moderate platform of economic justice and climate renewal...
So long as that essential truth remains even on the margins of public discourse, so does the possibility of social democracy in Britain. That is why it must be relentlessly twisted, maligned and buried...
and why any mainstream journalist or columnist will be rewarded for dishing out 'insider gossip' based on the accounts of sources with obvious agendas...
