Corbyn hasn't been Labour leader for almost 3 years, but thats not the point. The goal was never to just smear him as a man - the goal was and remains to delegitimise his politics, & that's why he'll always be a target for those on the right. #GMB

A small 🧵with much needed context to what’s happening in Peru:
The Coup against Pedro Castillo is a major setback for movements in Latin America. He was democratically elected in 2021 with more than 8.8 million Peruvians voting for him (50.13%) against a far-right candidate
In response to a report by @RealAlexRubi, the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement defending the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and falsely claiming the US-armed militia is no longer a bastion of violent extremists.

The US embassy is pushing the narrative that Peru's President Castillo launched a coup. In reality he's victim of a coup by the right-wing-controlled congress
Police arrested him. Congress swore in a new president Dina Boluarte, who was expelled from the leftist Perú Libre party

@aaronjmate Just imagine what would have happened hadn't someone taken photos of the debris and these then been posted on social media. Zelensky isn't used to anyone being allowed to contradict his lies so has no idea what to do now an is embarrassing his allies.
The obvious question, as others have raised, is that if Zelensky insists on lying through his teeth about an incident that threatened World War III (a threat he encouraged by calling for intervention), what else has his government lied about?
The question for war criminals should not be whether their wars of aggression — based on lies they repeat here unchallenged — were “necessary and effective.” It should be how they can still be unrepentant long after their lies were exposed & so many died as a result. @jonstewart
But the USA looked at the facts this time and saw that the Ukrainians were lying- the 'conspiracy theory' was true! Otherwise we could have been heading to WW3. This is a very risky conflict that needs a negotiated solution, not widening the war and throwing more weapons at it.
Russia now promotes a conspiracy theory that it was allegedly a missile of Ukrainian air defense that fell on the Polish theory. Which is not true. No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages. This lesson should have been long learnt since the downing of #MH17.
Seventy million people died in World War II.
No one would be left to count the dead if there's a third one - with nuclear weapons.
This ends in either negotiations or mushroom clouds. The sooner the former start the better.
The system must change! ✊🚩🌎 In his address to #COP27, President of Venezuela @NicolasMaduro denounced capitalism’s role in causing the climate crisis.
