The stonewalling and ignoring of #TheFordeReport is all too familiar for me.
But the Report was about more than any one person. It was about all of us in the Labour Party.
So many members campaigned, sacrificed and served our Party in the last two general elections and beyond.
With #Fascism on the rise I was reminded of this investigation I did into Rotherham in 2018. I looked at how the State and media emboldened the far-right in a variety of ways. #Merseyside

BJP MP Pragya Thakur's Shocker-She said that Hindus have the right to respond to those who attack them and their dignity,called on the community to at least keep the knives in their homes sharp. Straight up hate speech https://t.co/Ut8DCQM7x2
CASR activists beaten up brutally by ABVP goons in Delhi university while campaigning for their program on 5th dec at HKS Surjeet Bhawan to demand release of GN Saibaba. While innocent student activists rot in jail, the criminal activities of ABVP are given a free pass. +
Absolutely disgusting comments from @munirawilson The @LibDems seem to have abandoned being both Liberal and Democratic and wish to be even more Victorian and draconian than the Tories!
I would like the @10DowningStreet to meet with Mina Smallman the mother of murdered sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.
Mina told me that if her daughters had broken the rules and had a party indoors they would still be alive today.
Boris Johnson what should I say?
BBC pretty silent on 2 stories: Johnson forbidding Electoral Commission to investigate financial wrong doing connected to payments for decoration of his flat; Chesham by-election vote falling from 11,000 under Corbyn in 2017 to 622 under Starmer just now.
Modi was forced to cancel his visit by a devastating second wave of the virus in India, fuelled by his own gross errors, shocking negligence, callousness and desire to consolidate power above all else, write @SAsiaSolidarity >

"Na khaunga na khane dunga..."
In light of findings by the French anti-corruption agency, Agence Française Anticorruption, that reveal Dassault paid 1 million euros to Indian middleman as ‘gift’, this statement by Modi needs a facelift-
In 2017 @pewresearch survey found 53% Indians support military rule. 55% believed a leader’s decisions shouldn’t face interference of parliament & courts. Look at the 2020 data by @ACLEDINFO and let this sink in- A war is usually defined as 1000 conflict-related deaths in a year.
Comedian Munawar Faruqui has been jailed for a month. During his bail hearing, the judge teresly remarked, "such people must not be spared."
Bec. there is little difference b/w vigilantes who assaulted him & courts that incarcerate him.
Both believe in the same idea of justice.
Hundreds of thousands of farmers are occupying the borders of Delhi in a protest against the combined forces of corporate power & an ultra-right wing government, report @SAsiaSolidarity
