he's forgetting that he was on the trot wing. But some of the claims he makes about the where on the political spectrum of Blair/Starmer/Cameron suggests to me he has some form of dementia. And I don't mean it facetiously.

I think I've internalised that he's slightly different in some mysterious way to other right-wing conservative commentators, probably cos he often criticises NATO and takes alternative positions on post Soviet Russia. But he's still basically a very horrible idiot and often completely clueless!

'Marxist training' is such a weird way of putting it - they like quoting someone attached to some form of BLM saying that.

The Matt Le Tissier interview in The Times is, on the whole, maddening.

That map of the ‘pro Putin infosphere’ including Zara Sultana, Diane Abbott, Jess Barnard, Jeremy Corbyn, Tribune and Novara Media, created by @paulmasonnews, is allegedly real.

I don't think it really matters what krank sites are commenting on the Mason emails and what they are making of it, the important thing here is that it now seems from his own response that they are very likely a 100% legit.
