Ashworth wants to “call out” politicians who “fanned the flames [of Islamophobia]”.
Six weeks before he was:
‘migrants are living in hotels for life’ and ‘Bangladeshis should be sent back’.
He has some front this one.
Don’t let him reinvent.
Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb.
He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time.
When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.
🚨 NEW: Jeremy Corbyn is in talks with four other independent MPs to form a new group
This group would match the number of Reform UK MPs and outnumber the Greens

Jacqui Smith was caught out exploiting the MPs’ expenses loopholes. She was a cheat and the country knew it. So how has she been made a baroness, given a lifetime seat in the Lords and made a Cabinet Minister for Education? Who has prompted Starmer to making this appointment?
Sorry @Keir_Starmer but the primary reason that fascists didn't tear apart and burn our communities last night was because Anti-Fascists, Trade Unionists and members of targeted communities turned out in their thousands and saw them off.
To not even acknowledge that is shameful
Its reported that yesterday Yvette Cooper ordered Labour MPs not to attend anti-fascist demonstrations.
@labourlewis ignored the order and stood with his community.
Some of you may remember I was a @GMB regular for a while.
Then I had this clash with @edballs over Israel's genocide.
With the exception of one other pre-booked slot, that was the last time I appeared on that panel.
One step in the right direction is for mainstream media to stop giving so much airtime to racist fascists like Farage & Tice. For too long these empty vessels have been able to make their noise. The next step is Levenson 2 to manage the filthy UK rags.
RT if you agree
Mind blowing affront from Jonathan Ashworth this morning on GMB:
“politicians who fanned the flames of this [Islamophobia] have got to be called out.”
Here @SaulStaniforth exposes his blatant hypocrisy & calls he and Starmer out.
Do not forgive Labour.
Ed Balls is a nasty piece of work. @GMB should be ashamed at how they treated @zarahsultana this morning. Ganging up on her and deligitimising her experiences as a brown and Muslim woman. They perfectly demonstrated the level of racism and islamophobia in this country.
A sneering Ed Balls (husband of Home Sec) and panel of white people take umbrage at Zarah Sultana asking govt to call riots across country racist/Islamophobic. Look at them laughing at her. @GMB just allowed presenters to belittle a Muslim MP on air.
Reeves asked:
‘Do you think privatisation of water was a mistake’
She doubles down on how ‘better regulation’ can control private monopolies
Of all the policies to expose Starmer & Reeves as Tories, it is their ideological refusal to nationalise water
