In April 2019, @thetimes reported that @UKLabour had received 863 antisemitism complaints against Party members - 863 too many, but under 0.2% of members, a vital fact omitted from almost all news stories & debates. Antisemitism on the Left WAS exaggerated for political purposes.
"Jeremy only has himself to blame because of his failure to apologise for what happened in the @UKLabour Party when he was leader on antisemitism" - Liz Kendall on #Peston.
"A full & frank apology has never happened." - Liz Kendall.

This is a lie.

That the scale of antisemitism within @UKLabour WAS relentlessly & demonstrably exaggerated by others, including the national news media, for political purposes, is undeniable.

#UPDATED

A Glossary of Right-Wing Terms & Phrases*

*as used by right-wing politicians & pundits, #TuftonStreet 'think-tanks', the right-wing press & right-wing 'influencers', Spiked, the Spectator, Times Radio, talkRADIO, & Britain's Fox News, GB News.

This creative, divisive, & profoundly misleading use of language by free-market elites, & the hard-right & far-right, has evolved gradually over the last forty years, emerging hand-in-hand with underregulated free-market capitalism, the #climatecrisis, & the #CostOfLivingCrisis. Image
The manufactured "war on woke" is a distraction, designed to divide voters.

Under cover of COVID, wealth has been transferred from poor to rich on an unprecedented & unimaginable scale, eroding democracy & resulting in hardship, conflict, mass death, & environmental collapse. Image

The barbaric #Rwanda Plan is reminiscent of the Nazis' heinous Madagascar Plan. Braverman's dangerous "invasion" rhetoric is profoundly un-British English nationalism, & her use of the antisemitic 'Cultural Marxism' conspiracy theory, which inspired Anders Breivik, is grotesque.
No doubt there are in Britain & across Europe & America thousands of far-right racists who use *exactly the same rhetoric* as Suella Braverman & Priti Patel to demonise THEM as 'outsiders', who are 'invading' Britain, & 'replacing ingenious pure bloods'.

Last year, the @GoodLawProject launched a legal campaign to uncover the insidious network of 'think-tanks' & lobby groups based around #55TuftonStreet.

These shadowy organisations have a disproportionate & harmful influence over UK politics.

goodlawproject.org/update/success…
The @GoodLawProject set out to expose who’s behind them & who’s funding them.

They've recently been looking into @RestoreTrustNT, who unsuccessfully tried to infiltrate the @nationaltrust & want to shut down debate on issues like slavery & LGBTQ+ rights.

bylinetimes.com/2022/10/27/the…
In 2021, 'Restore Trust' had 6,100 current & former @nationaltrust members - just 0.1% of its membership - & endorsed Stephen Green, leader of anti-homosexuality Christian fundamentalist lobby group, Christian Voice, which has claimed abortion is comparable to the #Holocaust. Image

'Divide & rule' is an age old practice that is still widely used in the twenty-first century through bot farms - just ask @elonmusk & the @Conservatives.

Swivel-eyed ideological extremist Andrew '#Holocaust' Bridgen recalled the launch of the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for 'Covid-19 Vaccine Damage', where he said he “had the pleasure of meeting Dr Aseem Malhotra”. Image
Aseem Malhotra is a cardiologist and anti-vaccine campaigner, who has been accused of promoting misleading information about the safety of Covid vaccines.

He has - of course - been welcomed onto GB "News" to spread his dangerous #misinformation.

fullfact.org/health/covid-v…
In July 2022, the APPG for 'Covid-19 Vaccine Damage' was registered. Weirdo Christopher Chope chairs the group, with fellow @Conservatives Edward Leigh. Desmond Swayne & Greg Knight listed as officers. @UKLabour MP Graham Stringer is the sole non-Conservative voice in the group. Image
