If you’re angry the Daily Mail supported Hitler in the 1930s read the paper that supported Stalin in the 1950s.

If like me you are sick to death of the biased reporting and smears in the MSM, why not order a daily copy of the Morning Star. It provides excellent commentary on all Labour Movement issues. You can order an online copy of the paper too @M_Star_Online

I've just received another email from the Labour Party urging me to join 'Jeremy' at a local event. I cancelled my direct debit well over a year ago. I wonder how many of this half million membership figure includes people like me.

This is nonsense. Caster Semenya isn't a 'cis' women. High testosterone levels are produced by internal testes, she's biologically male.

Trans women have been able to compete in international athletics for 12 years. In this period no trans women have competed but cis women have been barred because of their naturally.occuring testosterone levels.

In every single article Owen Jones writes he explains Labour failure as part of a wider trend but off the top of my head Spain, Portugal and Denmark have centre-left prime ministers. Yes it could do better but this is so fucking dishonest.

Let’s be honest: what happened at Capitol Hill wasn’t a ‘coup’ or ‘insurrection’. It was a few knuckleheads who, to their own amazement, got past security, and when they reached the seat of power had absolutely no idea what to do next. Let’s keep it in perspective.
