Starmer on top form

Rachel Reeves really put her foot in it on the morning media round (Thursday, January 20, 2022).

Challenged over the fact that her political party – Keir Starmer’s Tepid Tories has room for a right-wing Conservative, but not for a socialist like Jeremy Corbyn.

She said Mr Corbyn should apologise for the fabricated anti-Semitism “crisis” that was foisted on him for political reasons by right-wing organisations outside the party and was then seized by right-wingers within Labour itself.

Only last week the BBC corporation apologised for not challenging claims of anti-Semitism against Jeremy Corbyn in an interview.

She once gave a glowing endorsement to Nancy Astor, who was an infamous anti-Semite, Nazi idealogue and supporter of Adolf Hitler.

?| ANNOUNCEMENT

? The People’s Alliance of the Left (PAL) is delighted to announce that a memorandum of understanding has been agreed between @BThroughParty, @FreeNorthNow @TUSCoalition & @LeftUnityUK

Our Alliance will work together on a future electoral strategy. #PAL

It seems likely that at least six other groups are likely to announce their own involvement in PAL.

Of course, there will be no publicity from the BBC, Financial Times, or any of the other mainstream media. They’ve spent decades neutering Labour; they won’t want to let some other working-class Lefty upstarts rock the boat, now they think they’ve put us all back in our place.

If it’s a genuine alternative, it will grow in spite of them.

Improvement for Preston.

I’d laugh if it was funny rather than desperate. People who claim to want a Labour government and do all they can to ensure that never happens

I’ve just re listened to the tape of Johnson agreeing to pass on a journalists address to a friend of his that wants to beat him up. His attitude when confronted with it is that it’s just funny. He doesn’t comprehend in any way that what he has agreed to is wrong. This was years ago. Everyone knew about it. He hasn’t changed one iota since that tape was made and yet he’s now PM of this country. I find it so chilling, especially in light of all the bullying accusations made by MP’s recently.
