The People's Cry

Political commentator. Pro-Labour but happy to engage in dialogue about different political views.

@FinTaylorcomedy To put things into perspective, I had never heard of "Fin Taylor", a total nobody, until he insulted Bob Dylan and Jeremy Corbyn, two people who have achieved more than he could ever dream of. It's so easy to criticise, less easy to actually do something meaningful.

@DPJHodges Blairite staff actively worked to make Corbyn fail

I've worked in an office that was also a social hub. We ate lunch in the canteen, we went to the pub together, there were clubs and societies and 5-a-side and a quiz league with proper prizes, and at Christmas there was a big do with presents all round and cheap booze.

@Will_Radley Proud of the British empire? Which one of these are you proudest of then?

Cancelled by the BBC.

Last Thursday, I was due to be on the Today programme at 6.50am to defend Jeremy Corbyn and put an alternative view on the Panorama programme. But I was cancelled at 6.30am without explanation.

Someone was supposed to call me back. They didn't. @BBCr4today

@realDonaldTrump You said that 4 years ago. So if you're still saying it then you've failed to do it.

This will be the most enduring party political story of 2020.

. @jeremycorbyn fundraiser has over £180,000 in less than 48 hours.

It's comprised of almost *10,000* separate payments. Corbyn could start a UKIP of the left - it wouldn't win seats but would hugely damage Labour & pull them left.

He won't. Why? Because he isn't a narcissist.

In a single day this week, Jeff Bezos added £10 billion to his fortune.

To put this inequality into perspective, imagine you earned £30k a year, paid no tax & spent nothing.

It would take you more than 330,000 years to earn £10 billion.

The system is rigged for the super-rich.

Conservative MP @RobDelyn invited an intern to ‘fool around with him’ and suggested ‘fun times, no strings attached’

@davidschneider Just checked BBC and Guardian and it's not the headline

[The People's Cry @Peoples_Cry]

@davidschneider My family has read the Guardian since I can remember. But we've been disappointed in it for a while, especially since the change of editor.
Perhaps it going under would open up space for something better?

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

It seems the hounding of Jeremy outside his house by the right wing media hasn’t stopped.

Whereas Tony Blair ended up as godfather to Murdoch’s child, the right wing media set out to destroy Jeremy because he is a socialist & anti-war internationalist.

Always proud of Jeremy.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Boohoo is accused of selling clothes made by workers in Leicester who are paid just £3.50 an hour.

It's also in line to pay one of its billionaire bosses £50 million in bonuses.

This isn't a coincidence:

Billionaires exist because the working class is exploited.

@davidschneider @TomLondon6 @BoardofDeputies @Keir_Starmer @Ed_Miliband @Freedland But it has to be possible, in the right circumstances and in the right way, to say that any group has too much power over politics.

[The People's Cry @Peoples_Cry]

@davidschneider @TomLondon6 @BoardofDeputies @Keir_Starmer @Ed_Miliband @Freedland It's very difficult because it's only antisemitic if a) it isn't true, or b) if the accusations is disproportionately levelled at Jewish groups.
I have no idea if it's true or not, or if this individual disproportionately accuses Jewish groups.

@DavidHirsh @GoldsmithsUoL is this the level of analysis from your "academics"?
