Confirmed in black & white. An unelected cabal of Blairites, funded by the rich, colluded to crush Corbyn. This included “schoozing” the press, admits ex-Guardian journalist author of this piece (@AnushkaAsthana).

Back then, they called it a conspiracy theory. Now they brag. 🧵
Image
Also, despite the constant justification for the sabotage being that Corbyn couldn’t win an election, it seems @LabourTogether and Morgan McSweeny (now Starmer’s advisor) felt differently.

They had to stop Corbyn because *they were afraid he COULD win.* 🧵 Image
@LabourTogether Oh and look at that. Part of their strategy involved deliberately intensifying allegations of antisemitism in the press - for factional purposes.

Corbyn lost the whip (which was never restored) for claiming this was the case. Anyone who said so was smeared as antisemitic. 🧵 Image

Glastonbury cancels planned screening of Oh, Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie, narrated by left-wing Jewish comedian Alexei Sayle, after accusations it peddles an "antisemitic conspiracy".

Corbyn addressed 50,000 people at the same festival in 2017.

Censorship. Not very rock & roll. Image
Between this and attempts to shut down Roger Waters' rock concert by a coalition of the artistically illiterate and deeply cynical, it's been a bumper month for the Blairite-led war on artistic freedom! Image
For someone who spends much time banging on about totalitarianism, Paul Mason seems awfully keen on censorship.

It doesn't matter how enthusiastically you serve Starmer & his Blairite cabal, Paul, they're not gonna let you run as an MP.

Paul Mason isn’t entirely wrong when he says Corbynism “destroyed itself.”

It ALLOWED itself to destroyed by refusing to tackle wrecking behaviour of Blairite MPs & staffers committed to its downfall, & call out so-called ‘lefts’ who gave their sabotage a lick of red paint. 🧵
Mason obviously says this now as a cynical careerist salivating for selection. He’s trying distance himself from a political movement the Blairites at the head of Labour are trying to bury under a heap of radioactive waste. Sadly for him, they’ll never trust him: he’s tainted. 🧵
“The Big Lie” of an antisemitism crisis under Corbyn was just the allegation that happened to stick (after IRA sympathiser, sexist, Czech spy etc.) failed to land. It only worked because rather than calling out the political agenda behind it, Corbyn gave ground & grovelled. 🧵

Attacks on Roger Waters are spiralling into a major culture war drama, with Keir Starmer’s Labour Party leading the charge in a poisonous culture war against artistic freedom of expression, anti-imperialism & the left using slander & innuendo. We’ve seen these tactics before…🧵 Image
Just as a reminder of where this all started…

Waters faced several attempts to pull his shows in Germany on the spurious grounds of “antisemitism.” A Frankfurt Court ruled his show contained no illegal content & must be allowed to go ahead on the grounds of artistic liberty. 🧵
But it all really kicked off in Berlin, after hysterical tweets became hysterical headlines accusing Waters of wearing a Nazi uniform, flying a pig blimp emblazoned with the Star of David, and “desecrating” the legacy of Anne Frank. 🧵 Image

How it started.

How it’s going. ImageImage
Just a thought, but between Wakeford posing for selfies with Simmons, despite slandering Roger Waters after failing to understand the concept of a costume, maybe Keir Starmer & his Blairite-run Labour Party shouldn’t be ruling on what music its members are allowed listen to. Image
And seriously, the notion of Starmer declaring opposition to a rock musician on behalf of the whole Labour Party is such a strange and pernicious bit of control freak, culture war pandering... I don’t recall any members being asked their views on Waters.
