Officially joined the Labour Party today. Special mention needs to go to @SkyNews ....thanks for finally tipping me over the edge. Report for the many, not the few.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The North has been held back by out of touch Westminster politicians.

Let's hand power to northern communities to manage their transport systems.

And ensure the North gets the investment it needs after decades of underinvestment.

Great news on the @humanistsociety Scotland website: @scotgov have announced plans to incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into Scots law. This ought to have some pretty solid, immediate effects regarding children's rights in education https://t.co/2RYyCx5Z60

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Amazon has just become the second ever $1 trillion company after tripling its UK profits.

But it paid £2.8 million less tax in the UK this year compared to last year.

Does that sound right to you?

Margaret Hodge is outraged that Jeremy Corbyn suggested a clause added to IHRA to protect free speech in Israel.

Funny, because just over a month ago, she suggested the very same thing...

1 wk with the in-laws & I learned they voted for brexit
b/c...

*There's too many foreigners
*Things were better in the "70's
*The EU changed
*Maggie shut down the mines
*They don't want more houses built
*They don't like their lives & don't care
So = ignorance + racism

Second MP warns Corbyn: I’m ready to quit too over anti-Semitism.

Another using false headlines to jump ship.......please go.
Take your friends with you......

[Emily Benn @Emily_Benn]

I am going to visit my Grandfathers grave today. To be honest I’m slightly concerned at what state it will be in - all that turning might have made a bit of a mess?

Will update later

[Adam Hills @adamhillscomedy]

Horrified to know we have upset a Last Leg fan. We assumed the news outlet had permission to show the clip. My sincere apologies.

[Damien Willey (Kernow Damo) 🟢 🔴 @KernowDamo]

Margaret Hodge has gone on sky news and said Corbyn has crossed the fine line between being Pro-Palestine & antisemitic. She's again, after being disciplined, called the Labour Leader, the head of her party a racist. @UKLabour this time withdraw the whip - she's daring you to.

[True Labour @EnjoyFascism]

Dear Margaret Hodge, your comparison of Labour disciplinary procedures to 1930's Nazi Germany is disgusting.

You have insulted the memory of the millions of poor souls lost in the holocaust.

You are a very sick individual.

Please resign whilst you have a shred of dignity left!

[Luqman Khan Power concedes nothing without Demand @luqmankhan555]

So its an expulsion offence when Ken Livingstone spoke about Nazis in Germany but its acceptable for Labour MP Hodge to allegedly compare the Labour Party to the Nazis in Germany. It appears that Hodge MP is running the Labour Party disciplinary process.

[Rosa @rosagilbert]

My grandmother fled the Nazis in 1938 and got out by the skin of her teeth, her brother had an even closer escape, their father and half their extended family never made it.

This analogy is so utterly offensive it’s hard to express how disgusted I am https://t.co/ZC0BrdkJy2

[Wolfie. 💙🧡💚 @Tpopularfront]

Do you know what truly is a nasty form of politics, Emily?

Politics that discriminate against people of colour.

Politics that result in the deaths of over 100 people a day.

Politics that result in so many of our children living in poverty.

Tweet about that for a change
