1/ Wait, wait, WHAT??? (a thread)
2/ "Corbyn's critics and his supporters on the left have been to blame" novaramedia.com/2018/07/29/how…
3/ From @OwenJones84 (Novaramedia stalwart) "Labour has bungled it response to the antisemitic fringe of the party".
4/ From @AaronBastani "The EHRC report was excellent". Source: @M_Star_Online: morningstaronline.co.uk/article/left-r…
5/5 For a better take on the "antisemitism crisis" and the EHRC report than @novaramedia is able to provide, see @JVoiceLabour: jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/statement/15-r…

1/ To call this "full fact" is misleading. It omits that, prior to the conclusion of the investigation #Starmer commissioned into his own CPS, he claimed he'd been assured that that "the decisions were the right decisions based on the information and evidence then available" Image
2/ Later, investigations concluded this claim to have been incorrect and that "mistakes were made". justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/media/…
3/ Moreover, the report makes clear that there were "no insurmountable barriers to prosecution" and that an explanation as to why charges were not brought as only been offered "in part", laying the most of the blame on police... Image

1/ Thread on why #Labour is on course to lose and what it's current trajectory and strategy suggests for its future:

It's tiny lead is declining, suggesting, as many of us have explained previously, support is soft. The softness of #Labour support is a feature of "strategy"...
2/ #Starmer wants to win over former #Tory voters alienated by #Johnson's more than usually explicit corruption. As #Corbyn was aware (and demonstrated more effectively than Miliband and Brown) , winning an election requires expanding #Labour's supporter base...
3/ But this isn't what #Starmer is doing. His strategy seems to be based more on out of date 1990s dogma than actual electoral politics. It assumes that swing voters won't be attracted to #Labour if they percieve it to be "too left wing"...

1/ Didn’t get to finish the full thread last week, so here it is again: the imperial ideology of Eugenics from the British Empire to today.

This clip is from Pilger's superb Utopia: johnpilger.com/videos/utopia.

This thread explains the ideological origins of this appalling racism.
2/ The ideology of Empire is Eugenics. Transhumanism is a modern branch of Eugenics advocated by Jeffrey Epstein. He held meetings with famous scientists & academics to discuss his ideas. Apparently, he wanted to "seed the human race with his DNA". nytimes.com/2019/07/31/bus…
3/ Epstein is not alone and just a recent example of the powerful dabbling in this pseudo science. The influence of Eugenicists on Western imperialism is longstanding & widespread. Of note are the views of Cecil John Rhodes, who many regard as the architect of Apartheid...

1/ Unfortunately left MPs have created this situation through inaction. Great politicians the world over (see Latin America) fight for the rights of those they represent, even risking their lives. Labour members have been left to fend for themselves. skwawkbox.org/2022/01/21/str…
2/ One exception is of course @jeremycorbyn who reportedly made the readmission of those suspended for defending him a condition of his own return to the PLP. He is the only one who hasn't prioritised his place in the PLP above the interests of ordinary members...
3/ This is presumably why he alone remains without the whip. Worth highlighting that he ALONE lost the whip for telling the truth. Where's the solidarity? The move in Streatham is likely laying the ground for reelection...

1/ thread on why the @jeremycorbyn situation has backfired massively on #Starmer and #Labour generally. #Corbyn
2/ Firstly, to understand how this has happened requires an understanding of #Corbyn himself, who has been woefully mischaracterised in soft left accounts of his period as leader, perhaps most notably (for the left) @OwenJones84's "This Land"...
3/ #Corbyn is not "indecisive". Thankfully he's not a weathervane either. When making a decision he considers a range of views before determining the correct course of action. When comes to a view he sticks to it firmly and usually he is right.

1/ Final long thread for this week. Many people believe the attempt to extradite #Assange to be morally repugnant & based upon legally dubious arguments. Less well understood are the details of the “enabling act” that facilitated it & reduced all of our rights. #FreeAssange
2/ The offending legislation is the 2003 Extradition Act. This was designed to pave the way for new extradition treaties, including, most controversially, the “unequal” extradition treaty with the United States: dumptheguardian.com/politics/2006/….
3/ Somewhat ironically, although it was much criticised at the time, the 2006 Extradition Treaty, under which Assange is being threatened with extradition but the “enabling act” of 2003.
