Never forget.

This is how the Guardian reported on Corbyn in the weeks & months before the 2017 General Election.

Jeremy went on to add 3.2 million votes to the Labour tally recording its highest number of votes in England for 70 years.

Imagine abstaining on a Bill like this when this is the legal advice you get back from Matrix Chambers.

The Labour Party is guilty of institutionalised cowardice.

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

On the very day that 2023 became the deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank since the Second Intifada. History will remember moments like this, and future generations will ask "how could they be so cruel?"

[Joe Guinan @joecguinan]

As British politics lurches to the right, and the restorationist regime in @UKLabour proves to be as awful as many of us said it would be (economically, politically, morally) lots of people are going to be contorting themselves to avoid admitting they were wrong about everything.

[Joe Guinan @joecguinan]

Labour just abstained last night on a central government power grab to prevent local authorities expressing the democratic will of their communities on foreign policy and human rights.

You cannot believe a single word uttered by this faker.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

The UK government refuses to give back Venezuela the more than $1 billion of gold it stole, despite the fact that it no longer recognizes US coup leader Juan Guaidó.

This is international piracy. The British judicial system is just trying to find a way to justify the theft.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Jeremy Corbyn

• Refused a pay rise, giving to charity instead.
• Refused £10k home working allowance, giving to charity instead.
• Claimed the lowest expenses of backbench MPs.
•Sticks to his principles & is unwavering in offering hope.

Retweet if you can’t stand Starmer

[Jane Samuels @Jane_Samuels]

This is where I live. Myself & others witnessed 1st hand the bullies, the powerful factional Labour right clique willfully sabotaging locally elected politicians. If Labour Cllrs had not resigned Labour to be independents in coalition with Greens, we’d have a Tory-led council.

[CarolineJMolloy now posts/engages only on BlueSky @carolinejmolloy]

Last year Starmer’s Labour told its cllrs in Stroud that if they continued in 10 year old coalition with Greens they would be expelled. Only options for those Lab Cllrs were to obey & see Tory minority admin take charge, OR resign Lab & work with greens as indies. They did latter

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Starmer untrustworthy! Where on earth do people get that idea from?

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Starmer's Labour has taken £230,000 worth of free staff from scandal-ridden PwC and Ernst & Young.

£13,802 freebies from NatWest; £18,000 from hydrogen lobby group Beyond 2050.

What will be the pay-off? No real reform of the City, audits, insolvency?

This week we've seen the 'guilt-by-association' machine kick into overdrive with Jamie Driscoll and Ken Loach.

Will @Christian4BuryS be barred from standing in a GE for failing to challenge Gene Simmons on his Islamophobia? If not, why don't the same standards apply?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

In 2019 @LucyMPowell said female Labour MPs were being unfairly targeted for deselection "Its misogynistic.. bullying.. its about trying to put a lid on opinionated outspoken women", so I'm sure she'll be speaking out in support of Beth any time now.

[Alex Nunns @alexnunns]

I see @Christian4BuryS—the Tory-turned-Labour MP who failed to get Roger Waters' shows cancelled for antisemitism because he didn't understand the concept of theatrical costume—is today parading around parliament with Gene Simmons from Kiss, who has called Islam "a vile culture."

[James Schneider @schneiderhome]

Really it’s a very bad idea to have staff from companies involved in tax dodging to be advising a political party that’s *meant* to do something about tax dodging.

That’s why @johnmcdonnellMP stopped these kind of arrangements that Starmer/Reeves have brought back

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

In 2019 the commons vote to include a Customs Union in the withdrawal agreement was beaten 276-273. 5 LibDems & 11 TIGs voted against. They could have voted for a Customs Union & made the Tories implode, but they didn't want to do anything that helped Corbyn.

[Ian Middleton 🇺🇦 🍃💚🍃 @IanMiddletonX]

The Banbury Labour Party handed power to the Tories tonight. They couldn't bear to have a single Green on the executive but were perfectly happy with 20 Tories taking control despite the wishes of the majority of the electorate. This is Labour's political logic #VoteLabourGetTory
