have you quit the labour party yet?

Indeed.

Andy McDonald has the whip suspended for saying Palestinians have been deprived of basic human rights for far too long and all people, the Israelis and Palestinians need to live in peace from the river to the sea. So calling for a 2 state solution is enough to get you suspended now. This fucking grotesque party is no place for decent human beings.

He was on borrowed time as soon as he spoke up tbh.

surely this can't be a response to the Tories removing a PPS for calling for a ceasefire? like Starmer is worried about losing ground in the genocidal hardman race?

yet again a shit stirring Sky News presenter (Adam Boulton this time) misquoting what he said and repeatedly asking some Labour robot if he's going to have the whip withdrawn that possibly kicked this off. But yeah he was on borrowed time anyway because he's a bit finnicky about genocide. But now you've got Murdoch news deciding who can or can't be a Labour MP, and Starmer will react immediately.

There can be no place in the Labour Party for anyone who parrots the dangerous extremist rhetoric of the UN

Happy Halloween. Who needs movies when the Labour Party is a horrorshow every single day. Seriously. I have developed a visceral Pavlovian reaction to reading about the latest antics of Starmer, Akehurst, Reeves, Mandelson etc.

i'm finding it hard to think anything good about the people who've chosen to stay with the party, especially the cowards and feebs in the Socialist Campaign Group

the muppet is speaking! right now! the world has waited for him to finally pronounce on the palestinian conflict, to show what kind of stuff his leadership is made of… let us listen in….

*muppet squeaking intensifies *

can't believe what i'm seeing, his entire speech is just him reading the lyrics to Culture Club's "The War Song"

man of the people

you can justify killing people indefinitely for a cause you believe in. it's terrible but it happens all the time. what higher principles does he believe in?

I'm pretty sure he only supports zionism because it seems like the thing to do and it's the opposite of what the other guy would do. that's not a cause that would motivate me to get out of bed but he's out here publicly demanding more genocide now

Might a commitment to further violence risk further violence I wonder, someone should run the numbers on that

Better the ethnic cleansing you know

I'm reminded of Corbyn's Chatham House speech after the Manchester bombing and the contrast between that measured and informed response and this nonsense. One of the inflection points that makes it clear the extent to which we were robbed and the exact reasons they had to do it.

they could never sleep when Corbyn was leading the party because he would speak indepently on international politics rather than waiting to see what the US prez/Pentagon line is on everything and then parroting it.

a functioning ostensibly left of centre mass party probably wouldn't have somebody with these views on its executive https://t.co/nvM5LHnmRZ

I'd strongly suspect that, now that he's given His Official Position on this (until it changes again), there'll be a lot less tolerance of freelancing from now on.

He’s shitting it, thinking that this could blow up bigger, fucking everything up just when the end is in sight. It seems he’s decided “strong and wrong” is the way to go, but the councillors, and backbenchers, can still make things very uncomfortable for him. He will not want a big open split.

Indeed, so the councillors should be doing a lot more than sending him letters.

Well I think many have

Not many, a few.

Let's see what Luke the Nuke comes up with.

Labour councils in Burnley and Pendle have called for Starmer to resign. Going well, isn't it, Keir?

Guess Sadiq Khan isn't messing around and has already called for a ceasefire?

He might still lose his post as Mayor next year tbh.

He'll condemn genocide in Gaza but not the genocide against motorists he's perepetrating w ULEZ and LTNs

Once again it's one rule for bombing victims and another for suburban drivers GET A GRIP SADIQ

“Years of sowing empty promises, cynical falsehoods and false dawns is now reaping inevitable consequence,” he wrote.

Heh

In the same week Margaret Hodge said she sabotaged Labour’s chances in 2019 to stop Corbyn, and that Labour MPs will have prevented him becoming Prime Minister even if he won, we have another stark reminder of Britain’s democratic deficit: Starmer defrauding the party membership https://t.co/DBH6LqZW3p

I hope he get's shot in the gut with an elephant gun and then stabbed in his eyes with rusty pirate knives while he's bleeding out. Fair to say this cunt deserves an excruciatingly painful death.

so you want the Tories to oh hang on never mind

Margaret Hodge’s daughter is, usefully for Mummy, an editor on the BBC’s 6pm news. Whenever Labour made poll gains after the 2017 general election, Hodge could be found complaining about antisemitism in Labour on her daughter’s platform.

I heard one of Kieth's MP's saying Thatcher was bad and the mass selling off of council housing stock and deregulation are more of a cause of the current housing crisis than inflation. But what some dickhead says for cheap applause in front of a bbc any questions audience is no reflection of what Labour will ever try and do in govt.

Praising Thatcher feels provocative and insulting to everyone who was fucked over by her and her policies.

I'm afraid caring about whole communities being destroyed is the old politics

Isn't it just?

Gordon Brown praised Thatcher too, lest we forget.

Not exactly a novelty for Labour leaders to hero worship Thatcher.

Just recorded a fascinating long interview with Shadow Chancellor @RachelReevesMP covering the Autumn Statement, the big challenges that lie ahead if Labour wins, how she feels about being called ‘right-wing’ & some v exciting chess news. Tune in tomorrow, Sat, 6pm @timesradio

Rachel Reeves apparently has feelings about being called ‘right-wing’ and had a chat about it on a Murdoch owned right-wing talk radio show with a former flop political adviser who helped Ed Mili lose an election in embarrassing style.

I’m sure the ex-Ed Mili advisers who were suddenly in commentator careers after 2015 were all “talented” IKYWIM.

what takes real talent is having the chutzpah to attend your book launch when it has already been revealed that it is just a straight quoted patchwork of wikipedia entries.

What's going on in hackney?

https://x.com/thatbloodyMikey/status/1746148566383439913?s=20

Hackney Labour Party tried to stand a bigoted, anti Trans candidate, ignored every Message on here, shut down all replies, & continued to canvass for her regardless, so people started Flyposting her Transphobic Tweets all over Hackney Town centre.
& *Thats* how you fucking do it.
