I'm tired of reading lies about a wonderful warm kind human being.

This is who @jeremycorbyn is. 👇🏻

Thread:

An ex service gentleman meets @jeremycorbyn they talk about the help ex soliders need
And end the conversation with him telling Jeremy
"I love you mate
You're a star"
"Look around this crowd
We are young, old,
We are Black,
We are White,
We're disabled,
We're LBGTQ
We are the whole wonderful mosaic of diversity& inclusion

Racism divides
When you've created that sense of hate
You haven't built a house,
You haven't built a school" @jeremycorbyn
"Forty-two years ago, antifascists beat back a violent, far-right mob that had descended on a diverse neighborhood of North London.

Among the antifascist organizers was a young Labour councillor named @jeremycorbyn."

"Starmer’s duplicitous sectarianism will likely mean fewer Labour members, less union funding, and, if Corbyn stands as an independent, more party resource in the next election going into fighting what should have been a safe Labour seat."

"Bizarrely and counterproductively it could also give Corbyn a much higher profile in that election than he would have had as just another Labour backbencher."

Whatever happened to the Keir Starmer who stood for leader describing Jeremy Corbyn as “a colleague and a friend” who wanted to “build on that legacy”?

Many Labour members are clear that it was all a lie."

I desperately want the Tories out. I've always voted anti-Tory throughout my life and, as long as I have the franchise, always will.

But sorry folks. If you just ignore the treatment of @jeremycorbyn, @LauraPidcock, @helensclegel or @PamelaFitzNWC, there's something wrong.
What did these people do wrong? Believe in socialism, that's what. In an allegedly democratic socialist party which shows every sign of ending up way to the right of New Labour.

Keir Starmer's Labour Party is a bullying, lying, Stalinist, vindictive, top down abomination.
Whether you're young or old, if you care about others, if you want to help the most vulnerable, there's no place for you in the Labour Party.

Which kicks people out for being left wing while rejoicing when Tory MPs join. That's not a 'broad church'. It's just right wing.

My latest. This is the first of a three-part series about antisemitism and the left. Part 2 will look at the EHRC report; part 3 at Corbyn's suspension.

But the first part, as you'll see, is a lot more personal. It's about my own trauma. Deep trauma.

The trauma of what happens when you grow up in a family horribly impacted by what the Nazis did. Even third generation survivors, like myself, can be horrendously affected. It's something that should be discussed far, far more.

Part 2 will follow in a couple of days or so.

Whenever I see Jeremy Corbyn interviewed nowadays, I'm always shocked. Shocked by his gaunt, exhausted appearance. He's aged 20 years in no time.

And the reason I'm shocked is: that was done to him. By a witchhunt the likes of which I've never seen done to anyone else anywhere.
There's people out there who won't be satisfied until the poor man's in a box. With gold handles.

Movements which speak of 'solidarity' do not do to decent, kind people.
Do you know what I think brought him down? Shame. On two levels:

1. Being made to feel ashamed for even existing for day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, by a disgusting daily drumbeat of hysteria and nonsense.

Höhöhö. After years of reliably having the most fashionable opinion on everything, and enjoying the applause you get for it, Mellers has finally expressed one very mildly unfashionable opinion, possibly for the first time in his life.
And you won't believe what happened next.
In these situations, why do these people never pause, and think:
"Hmmm, maybe all this applause I used to get for years wasn't really because what I said was so brilliant. Maybe it was just because I told people what they wanted to hear. And now I've seen what happens if I don't"
That awful moment when you realise: You don't have "fans". You have trendy opinions. The moment you stop expressing trendy opinions, and express an un-trendy one, your former "fans" will turn against you, quicker than you can type #JC4PM or #IStandWithJeremyCorbyn.
