Labour Against The Witchhunt

LAW fights against all unjust expulsions and suspensions from the Labour Party. Oppose IHRA. Reinstate all those purged without due process and natural justice.

Why we have resigned from LAW's steeering committee https://t.co/vMOOPHemjj

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Look at that - signed by Jeremy Corbyn and a lot more brave than anything the official Labour Left is doing today to defeat the latest witch-hunt, bans and proscriptions (ie, nothing)

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Solidarity with @bird4riv Jo Bird, who has dared to speak out against the witch-hunt - and has now been witch-hunted herself because of it. She is in great company, of course.

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Much solidarity with @IanBFAWU, one of the few trade union leaders who had the guts and the courage to stand with those falsely smeared and vilified as antisemites - for which he has now been witch-hunted himself. We will not forget!

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

@thistle8blower The fight never ends, one way or another...

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Solidarity with Pam and all others who have been receiving their auto-exclusion letters in the last few days - mostly referencing attendance at meetings etc that took place MONTHS or YEARS before the groups were even banned... how does that work?!

[Pamela Fitzpatrick @pamelafitz4HW]

Last week I submitted an agenda item for the first Women’s Committee meeting on the treatment of women in the party referencing the prosecution of @ApsanaBegumMP. This week I am threatened with auto exclusion from the party for giving an interview to a Marxist publication in 2020

[Greg Hadfield @GregHadfield]

Four years too late, John. But yes, as a @UKLabour member, I beg you to please join the "auto-excluded" and show the solidarity they deservedly need. Just mention - once! - @LAW_witchhunt or @LabourInExile, or @socialist_app or @MFApeoplesparty. Just once. Do it now, John!

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Unfortunately, @johnmcdonnellMP this is the result of the Corbyn leadership and you not standing up to the witch-hunt against the left when it started... all the way back in 2016. Remember @Jackiew80333500, @DerbyChrisW @Marcwads and all the others?

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Labour members are now being purged for any contact, no matter how tenuous, with a body before it was actually proscribed. Not sure how far back this stretches but on that basis I had better publicly confess & hand myself in for show trial. Has nobody read Koestler in Party HQ?

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Auto-exclusion letters going out thick and fast now. Solidarity with everybody who is being targeted - be assured you're in great company

[Pamela Fitzpatrick @pamelafitz4HW]

I have just received a letter from the Labour Party threatening me with auto exclusion because I was interviewed by Socialist Appeal in May 2020 on why I was applying for the position of General Secretary. I explained to SA I wanted fair procedures followed in the party.

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Do you know what socialism is, Lara? It has a lot to do with solidarity and standing shoulder to shoulder with those under attack, particularly when it is for false claims of antisemitism - like in the case of @Jackiew80333500, @Marcwads, @DerbyChrisW and there are many many more

[Lara McNeill @lara_eleanor]

I think it was a fairly difficult decision as I don’t want a precedent to be set for socialist groupings within the party - but these groups are really not socialist

Forde Report update

GS advised he’d been in touch with Forde to agree for some elements of the report to be released by the autumn.

We requested Forde be invited to the next NEC or Special meeting, to provide a summary before publication, the GS agreed to request this.

Good old Owen Jones - you can always rely on him to behave like a total, unprincipled arse. Remember how we stabbed @jeremycorbyn in the back? Now it's @LAW_witchhunt

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Tomorrow 12noon, come to the lobby outside Labour Party HQ:
- No bans, no proscriptions!
- Reinstate Corbyn and all those unjustly suspended and expelled!
- For Free Speech in the Labour Movement!

https://t.co/7VruBvSVW3

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

This is of course just the beginning. First they came for the awkward squad... then they'll now doubt come for JVL, LRC, Momentum, CLPD... the left must act now and form a joint campaign of resistance!

[Jackie Walker - HRH, MP, MBE, ABC @Jackiew80333500]

Proud to be a member of 3 of these groups which stood up for truth, equality, democracy and have been so effective the racist faction of Labour ban us ‘Starmer set to expel 1,000 far left Labour members in four ‘poisonous’ groups’ https://t.co/JldODkKTL8

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

Defend the Left! No bans, no proscriptions! LAW and three other organisations are to be banned by Labour NEC. The whole left must stand up against this latest attack, come to NEC lobby on July 20! Statement and what to do here: https://t.co/6izVsKyuME

[Labour Against The Witchhunt @LAW_witchhunt]

LAW is co-sponsoring the 'Not the Forde Enquiry' this Saturday - please register here if you haven't done so (so far, registrations stand at just over 500...) https://t.co/53IctYwnkV

[Zokko @Zokko18]

Now I wonder which group of people this balanced, impartial and in no way racist 'inquiry' will decide is to blame...🤔
