Has anyone, including you, mentioned the prime purpose of Labour Together which was to denigrate and destroy Corbyn and the Labour left?

No system can sort the fact that these freaks deliberately set out to destroy the legitimate leader of their party?
So Starmer has to decide to admit that he was fully signed up to this?
He obviously wonโ€™t.So this is how government works now?

Itโ€™s almost as if they are being told to accept this fascist nonsense without any challenge.
Beats me why there is still the assumption that these people are still assumed to be independent and trustworthy .

This is all bonkers and will never happen, but I must say I am impressed by the use of the impeccably woke term "outreach programme" in that last item.

Let's be clear about this. Their "Christian heritage" is something they expect the little people to adhere to. Such morality is not for them and their billionaire pals.

NEW: Reform's Zia Yusuf will announce plans to "restore Britain's Christian heritage" tomorrow

- Introduce a "patriotic curriculum" based on Christianity to give children "more things to take pride in again"

Stop churches being converted into mosques by granting them listed status and requiring planning permission

Force police to search homes of everyone referred to Prevent to crackdown on "Islamic extremism"

Launch outreach programme encouraging expats in Dubai and Singapore to return by pledging lower taxes

Again, the right in the UK has absolutely *zero* ideas of its ownโ€”it's just constant cut-and-paste US christofascist horseshit.

They fundamentally despise the UK and its people and wish Everything Was America this very instant.

The BBC thought it would hurt Zionists too much to hear "Free Palestine" but it would not hurt Delroy Lindo, Michael B. Jordan, nor the 1 billion+ Black people of the world to hear "nigger" screamed at two beloved actors.

Mkay.

23.02.2026 12:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 103    ๐Ÿ” 15    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Delroy Lindo is 73. He has had to wait decades for his flowers, despite a half century of spectacular work. What a shame that he not only had to experience that violent moment, but that the BBC chose to make it circulate in ways which will affect him for the rest of his life.

23.02.2026 12:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 107    ๐Ÿ” 15    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Just for the record:

โœ… Screaming "NIGGER" while Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan are onstage is NOT worth censoring from the airwaves

โœ… Saying "Free Palestine" IS worth censoring from the airwaves

Got it, BBC

When I was an op-ed writer for Guardian (US), I was allowed to write on anything EXCEPT anything about Israel had to go thru Jonathan Freedland (UK). So if I were still there, I could write about "NIGGER" BBC row freely but would need special permission to write about "Free Palestine" at same event

You know the Greens are doing something right when Israel feel the need to take a brief break from indiscriminately slaughtering Gazan children to speak out against them.

Youโ€™re giving her far too much credit. She worked with them willingly and now itโ€™s unravelling.
But I suspect that wily old Pippa still has a few skeletons to pull from numerous closets.

Preview
UEFA and FIFA may get a red card at the ICC for ignoring Israeli violations A landmark referral of UEFA and FIFA leaders to the International Criminal Court could set an important legal precedent.

The ICC filing vs. the FIFA and UEFA Presidents is an opportunity to prove that international law still existsโ€”and that collaborators in Israelโ€™s grievous crimes will actually be held to account.

This complaint must just be the beginning.

We explain for @aljazeera.com.

it was absolutely essential that we appeal to Reform voters above all else. anything else is politically illiterate. Until, in the last couple of months, it wasn't. And yet: none of the political journalists that took both of these positions weeks apart were ever wrong, and we were never right

I note that this 'great weekend read by Jessica Elgot' is stuff the online left have been consistently saying since Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, to the constant derision and hostility of Elgot, Crerar, Behr, Toynbee, Freedland, Walker et al

to be clear, Pippa Crerar was doing the bidding of Labour Together, she is an attack dog of the Labour right, and in any healthy media ecosystem this would be a borderline career ender

Precisely this. This is Starmerโ€™s Britain. This is the legacy of the Tories and the continuation of racist and reactionary policy by this Labour government.

โ€œIsland of strangersโ€ indeed, U.K. governments do not want us in harmony, they want us divided by racism and fear of the โ€˜otherโ€™.

For me, the issue is that Crear or her editors decided, rightly, not to run the story, presumably on the basis of her point 3 below and Holden's reply.
But that means they had all the basis for a different story about malicious briefing against journalists from Labour Together โ€” and sat on it. Why?
