“Commentator Paul Mason, who is trying to become a Labour MP, slandered an audience member as antisemitic during a Q&A discussion at an event entitled ‘Is it worth voting Labour in 2024?’”
[..]
“Mason has been caught trying to suppress discussion that exposes the UK political establishment through bogus antisemitism allegations. The commentator becoming an MP is the opposite of what we need.”
“Exclusive: Corbyn’s Islington North CLP ‘suspended’ by Labour: Local party officers’ access to Labour’s ‘Organise’ campaign platform revoked as party tries to shut down local democracy, say locals”
“Instead, Labour has revoked officers’ access to the party’s ‘#Organise’ campaign system, without telling them why or even that it had been done.
The ‘Organise’ manoeuvre is the latest in a long line of party moves to kill local member democracy to try to secure candidates and outcomes Starmer wants – and exposes yet again the regime’s deep contempt for party members and their rights.”
“A revolution in the way Britain does politics has begun in Devon. Tory MPs should be afraid”
by George Monbiot in the Guardian @TheGuardian_uk
“This is what democracy looks like: hundreds of people queueing in the rain, seeking to take back control of a political system that treats voters like an afterthought. Last weekend, a remarkable democratic experiment reached its first conclusion. A process that began here in South Devon and is now spreading to other constituencies has allowed voters to reclaim the initiative from centralised and self-interested political parties. It directly confronts our unfair electoral system.”
We could be world leader in a strong immerging market of "green jobs", but why not forsake that long term growth opportunity for short term financial gain?
“In blocking the left from a visible political presence, in stifling its ideas and creativity in a time of crisis, Starmer is leaving the field open to the far right. They will be only too eager to highlight and exploit the deficiencies of a soulless Labour Party @UKLabour, one that pays no more than lip service to resolving #Britain’s problems.
And they will doubtless also scapegoat the usual suspects - not the rich, not those in power, but immigrants, Jews and ‘communists’ - who will be blamed for bringing the UK to its knees.
Ultimately, the smearing of #Corbyn and the Labour #Left will bring about the very things the Labour right and the establishment media claim they seek to avert: Britain will become a darker, more racist, more #authoritarian place.”
The @guardian undermined democracy by stabbing #Corbyn in the back! Now it’s playing grubby #Sycophant by yet again giving “Keir The Authoritarian #KidStarver” a free pass! He hasn’t “successfully cornered the market in unthreatening banality” Rafael #Behr! He’s mastered the art of being a ruthless, lying #NeoLiberal#Quisling!
