I may not be bothering so much with #ItWasAScam from now. The evidence is clear, consistent and damning: Starmer and his bloodless assassins performed one of the most brutal political executions in UK history, and we will all be paying for it for generations.
Our media were willing helpers, dishonest, hateful and speaking with one voice, the bludgeoning voice of the UK state.
No-one who witnessed this and knew what they witnessed will ever trust anything our media tells us again. Those days of innocence are over.
UK is damaged, perhaps permanently, by it. Democracy is shown to be a comforting sham, and those who so desperately needed the changes Corbyn promised were betrayed. It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. It leaves millions without hope of any kind.
If Corbyn achieved nothing else (and he achieved so much else), he forced the state in the form here of Starmer and the media liars into the open. He made it reveal itself. He made it visible. You either saw it or you didn't, but those who did know what they saw.
As for twitter, after 6 years of daily hand-to-hand combat, there has never been a single substantial rebuttal of what #ItWasAScam says. Our media have pretended this hasn't been happening, but it has, and it makes clowns of them. It shows them for the servile robots they are.
We've established the counter-narrative, and we've won every argument, and it makes no difference, because there's always the UK media paddling along like Starmer's loyal little doggie, always ready with a cheap, vicious lie.
But we've won the case, and that will always be true.
And to finish, a fable:

Everyone knows the story: Corbyn was an antisemite. There was that mural, wasn’t there, and some business about a wreath? And didn’t Ken Livingstone say something about Hitler?
The echoes and ripples of this story are confused now, like old memories. Was it Ken Livingstone who said the thing about Hitler or Chris Williamson? Did Corbyn say it was Jews or Zionists who don’t get irony? And didn’t someone say Jews controlled the slave trade or something?
The details barely matter anymore, though of course every one of these claims has been robustly and comprehensively exposed as a crude fraud.

Obviously, as adults, we understand that journalists work for businesses which have editorial agendas, and are not free to just say anything they please.
Journalists have careers, mortgages, commitments. They’re not going to jeopardise all that.
But they’re now in an unenviable position, the honest ones I mean (if such exotica exist at all). In being required to peddle a narrative that has been wholly discredited, they’re being required to sacrifice their integrity: their self-respect.
Only the most hardened and cynical will be able to do this without some internal disquiet. The rest must, surely, be horribly aware of what they’re doing: denying the evidence, not just of their own eyes and ears, but of the eyes and ears of those who read and hear what they say.

BBC:

The comment by Chris Mason that one of Starmer’s tasks is ‘getting rid of hostility to Jewish people’ is false.

There is no evidence Corbyn’s Labour Party showed any ‘hostility to Jewish people.’ The claims made by you in this regard have been comprehensively falsified.
One example of this falsification is the Al Jazeera documentary series ‘The Labour Files’. This contains hard evidence of fraud in your Ware Panorama.
This, for instance, where a Labour activist, Rica Bird, asking a Labour Party investigator, Ben Westerman, ‘Which branch are you from?’ becomes the question ’Are you from Israel?’

I watched an old episode of Twilight Zone last night. The story was a man who starts to notice people using words wrongly - 'dinosaur' instead of 'lunch', for instance - which accelerates until he can understand no-one and no-one can understand him.
UK politics is like this now. Nothing actually makes any sense, and those attempting to make it make sense are using language that means nothing.
‘Got the big calls right,’ for instance, means literally nothing. Johnson blundered his way through covid, slaughtering tens of thousands of our elderly as casually as he would order a bottle of champagne, and flinging tens of billions of pounds away in corrupt deals.

'Far more powerful is Berger’s chilling account... of buckling under the weight of anti-Semitic abuse as an MP in Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party.'
Come on here and try that old cobblers, @FionaLondonarts. See how far you get. Dare you.

That whole 'Labour antisemitism crisis' narrative beloved of Freedland and Oberman and the rest - and, apparently, you also - has been so comprehensively debunked that clinging ono it starts to look pathological.
Here's some hard, cold evidence of fraud:
There's plenty more where that came from.
Here are ten more, including Freedland's 'irony' smear, which is *right there in the Royal Court blurb*.

Starmer and The Great Embarrassment

Now Al Jazeera’s Labour Files have delivered the coup-de-grace to the ‘antisemitism crisis’ narrative, we enter a new phase, an uneasy stand-off between reality and what we see in the papers.
There are fairly obvious reasons why Starmer’s party can’t acknowledge even the existence of these documentaries, let alone comment on their content, which is that they represent one of the most damning indictments of a major political party anyone has ever seen.
Starmer’s party became a sort of Poundshop Stasi. They stalked a Black member’s *children*. They compiled lengthy, detailed surveillance ‘reports’ on members who were any kind of a challenge to the suffocating Starmer orthodoxy.
