Geordie socialist desperate for a calm, peaceful world, free from poverty, fear and for a Labour Party to rediscover its integrity. Now somewhat unlikely?

@easyJet Father , 88 and brother due to fly home to today with Easy Jet from Isle of Man. Flight cancelled at short notice. No help from EJ to find alternative transport. EY: you're rubbish.

Keir Starmer’s cheerleaders would be screaming blue murder if a politician they didn’t like was this two faced and duplicitous.

It’s not even subtle!

20 years since the invasion of Iraq, we remember the millions killed, injured & displaced in a war built on lies.

Today, let’s renew our solidarity with refugees fleeing the horrors of conflict, and strive to build a more peaceful world. https://t.co/3XJuA2k4s7

Forde on how a leaked email from Seumas Milne was used by John Ware and Panorama: "It had been filleted. I think the filleting meant the context was lost and a more sinister interpretation could be placed upon that email than was ever intended."

Damning for Ware and the BBC.

[Alex Nunns @alexnunns]

Forde reveals he was pressured by the BBC and John Ware to amend criticisms of Panorama's 'Is Labour Antisemitic?' program.

Forde says he had a fuller picture than Ware & as a barrister has "a degree of forensic skill and an ability to try to assess credibility and consistency."

[Alex Nunns @alexnunns]

The programme says: "In his report published in July 2022, Forde made 165 recommendations. He was surprised to have heard almost nothing from the party since."

Forde: "I had very limited communication."

[Alex Nunns @alexnunns]

NEW: Martin Forde, the KC asked by Keir Starmer to write a report on Labour's culture (that Keir ignored), breaks his silence, saying there's a hierarchy of racism under Starmer:

"Anti-black racism, Islamophobia, isn’t taken as seriously as antisemitism."

Strange how US/UK & Israel are somehow immune from prosecution at the International Criminal Court but Vladimir Putin is not

There are 177 billionaires in the UK with a total wealth of £653bn.

Taxing their wealth over £10m at just 3% would raise almost £60bn+

Tax the billionaires.

How hard would it be to say to the Prime Minister so you want to force people to work against their will & allow them to be sacked if they refuse, treat peaceful protest like knife & gang crime & reduce human rights protections & Government accountability? Shouldn’t viewers know?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Repealing anti-strike laws is the bare minimum. The only way that workers and communities can truly 'take back control' is with a mass redistribution of wealth, ownership and economic power.

I support workers going on strike. They are not alone in this struggle, and I stand with them in their efforts to improve workplaces. https://t.co/ODTrUoPD5Z #TogetherWeRise via @unisontheunion
