So Hitler's secret meeting with dozens of industrialists in 1933 and them all donating to the Nazi party, based on his promise to "crush communism". Once in power members of the KDP communist party and Social Democratic party sent to Dachau. That was a *left* wing plot was it?

@LozzaFox @GaryLineker 😂That must be why he sent communists and socialists and social democrats to the first Nazi concentration camps. You might want to not rely too heavily on Peter Hitchens as a source of facts

@George_Osborne What would a party who take mobility vehicles & all income from the disabled, ill, mentally ill & carers know about being moderate? £10 minimum wage is Conservative policy. You called it "Marxist". Borrowing to invest is Conservative policy now. You called it "crazy" in 2015.

@dirk1978 @HarrietHarman @UKLabour @jeremycorbyn Their usual (ridiculous) explanation is that Brown was too left wing. Brown who as Chancellor refused Treasury funding for any new hospital or school unless it was PFI/PPP. Who, with Yvette Cooper brought in the Work Capability Assessment and first gave ATOS its contract.

@andie1105 No one can find a job ,or claim benefits while looking for work, or to top up low wages while working, or if disabled, ill, mentally ill or a carer without an internet enabled phone in 2022, without great difficulty. Job ads are online these days.

@2000MetaV @awrightdave @AyoCaesar You mean you assumed because her skin was darker than yours and she had a foreign sounding name. Like Saxe-Coburg Gotha, current royal family's name before they changed it to Windsor during WW1. And Prince Phillip was a Greek

@tparsi @Tolpuddle2017 This is not new. They've been doing this with security zones and combat zone for decades. It does mean they shoot any civilian they see as soon as either is declared, like US "free fire zones" in the Vietnam war. I'd guess originally a response to Palestinian suicide bombers in

@COLRICHARDKEMP Christ you're quoting people who funded the Mujihadeen, Al Qa'ida, the Taliban etc. Had their police force teenage girls back into burning buildings to die lest they be seen "improperly dressed". Who had democracy protesters shot by (British trained) snipers. And who jail,

@lukeakehurst You and Starmer are banning candidates who said they liked Caroline Lucas, or used to be Green party members before coming back to Labour, while accepting people who were tory MPs months before as Labour MPs and candidates. Blatant factionalism, double standards and hypocrisy

@PatriciaNPino First two sentences of the article show headline is false. Says government would have struggled to finance itself without the central bank - but since it has a central bank, that's irrelevant. No government with control of its own currency can go bankrupt

@stephenfry @RachelRileyRR 1/4 If she was standing against anti-Semitism, so would I. Unfortunately she's going along w/ a campaign to redefine any criticism of the Israeli govt's actions, or of its supporters, as anti-Semitism though, which is nonsense.

@OwenJones84 @NoToDuckMitts They screamed "Stalinism" when Corbyn disciplined any MP (which he rarely did, and appointed lots of New Labourites and LFI MPs to his shadow cabinets). And when Momentum proposed Open Selectio of MPs (similar to primaries for sitting reps in the US)
