Winchester & Chandlers Ford Labour Party - News, views, events and links; what's going on in Winchester & beyond, what we think & what we're doing about it.

@grahamlithgow Alarming if she were to have any real power, but Cummings will keep that. As it is, just another over-promoted incompetent in this reshuffle of the vanities. #AttorneyGeneral

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

In the Tory govt we have Johnson (editor for 5 years of the self-described antisemite 'Taki'), Rees-Mogg persistent Jew-baiter with a predilection for far right groups, Suella Braverman and Priti Patel who both voiced a-s tropes and Cummings dog-whistling Goldman Sachs. All good.

2001

19 years ago, Jeremy Corbyn delivered this masterclass explanation on the evils of PFI & the damage to staff morale caused by privatisation

[James Foster @JamesEFoster]

If you spent your time spreading lies, smears and misinformation about @JeremyCorbyn, and did all you could to prevent him becoming PM, you have no right, NO RIGHT, to complain about the horror show we now have in power; you helped put it there.

[National Theatre @NationalTheatre]

"Austerity has caused the death of over 130,000 human beings in Britain."

The moment Francesca Martinez spoke out on @BBCQuestionTime. She's written a play for us - called #AllOfUs - about the struggle to survive for those who don’t fit in: https://t.co/opL8VwGTQ6

[Vote GREEN @TheBirmingham6]

Bernie Sanders accuses Mike Bloomberg of trying to 'buy' the Election

Idiots like Owen Jones @owenjones84 regard this as a racist 'antisemitic' trope aimed at Jewish people

@Keir_Starmer @lisanandy @EmilyThornberry would suspend Bernie from Labour

[ITV News @itvnews]

'Is it one rule for young black boys from the Caribbean and another for white boys from the US?'

@jeremycorbyn attacks @borisjohnson over a deportation flight to Jamaica and says the government has learned 'absolutely nothing from the Windrush Scandal' #PMQs

[Alex Tiffin @RespectIsVital]

This is surely assault/ABH/GBH by a South Yorkshire Police Officer.

The 16-year-old wasn't even part of the alleged "disturbance".

The 47-year-old who "injured the officer", appears to have done so to protect the kid who's head got smashed open.

[👑 Mr. Weeks 👑 @WonderKing82]

I'm walking to the train a few minutes ago and a woman walked right up to me and gave me a tight hug and whispered quickly, "please act like you know me 3 guys are following me for a while" I played along then walked her 3 blocks home. What an experience for the both of us.

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

The government should not have the power to strip any British national of his/her citizenship. There is something quite sinister about it. Much better to address any alleged wrongdoing by the individual through the justice system (should they ever return.) https://t.co/CHzwFpMrnt

BBC’s Any Questions was held in Winchester this week, attended by Karen from our CLP as well as some other well-known faces:

[Amanda ✋🏻#Human @AP_Doramaqueen]

It's fascinating watching the same insults being hurled at Bernie Sanders supporters across the pond, that Jeremy Corbyn supporters have had to put up with for 5 years! Almost as if centrists the world over, would rather elect a fascist, than allow a smidgen of socialism 🤔

[Winchester Labour @Winch_Labour]

@traciewayling Yes, all around Winchester. There was still one up outside the station in December. My daughter went to tell a staff member they were illegal and defamatory and they suddenly decided to take it down.

[TracieWaylingArtASMR @traciewayling]

This has to be illegal, surely? Both sickening and heartbreaking the lengths they've gone to, to try and destroy one of the most sincere, honest politicians I've come across in my 53 years.

[Dan Carden @DanCardenMP]

Jeremy Corbyn and his team in LOTO have faced unprecedented attacks and smears for over four years now. They have acted with dignity and strength through it all and are some of the finest people I know.

[Federico Gatti @federicogatti]

These gentlemen asked me where I was from after they kicked and bullied a decent man. Not from “little England” that’s for sure.

[Kit Hardy @ms_kitka]

The world is a darker place since you left it, one year ago today, for the great line up in the sky. Missing you mucho Mr Hardy 😢 #JeremyHardy

[Winchester Labour @Winch_Labour]

At our CLP candidate endorsement meeting last Thursday Kier Starmer was endorsed for the leadership (56%, with Rebecca Long-Bailey the runner-up) and Angela Rayner as Deputy (67%, with Murray the runner-up).
