77 year old socialist who is looking forward to a socialist govt. Our grandchildren are living our lives for us .Open to sensible discussion from all parties,
@RachelRileyRR
Majority of the population have no issues with British Jews, however Majority of people also want a ceasefire in the Middle East. I don't have a problem with Jews or any other group,but I don't support the continued killings in Gaza.
@Keir_Starmer
Comments after the event again. No comments from you yesterday. Mr Hindsight again. You should have demanded this yesterday. Too late again. This isn't the justice system you need to react immediately
@RachelRileyRR
I live in Salford, NW UK. Rachel Rileys father lived here and was brought up here , her brother was born here. So she knows that the expression to take someone out in our area means just that Kill them. I find this tweet by her highly offensive and a direct threat at Corbyn
@staysocialism
If the office is closed the firm benefit, no rent ,no heating, electric etc, you benefit.People have more disposable income The only losers are the companies owning the office. Now we see who the Tories are protecting
@margarethodge
@simon_schama
Check with your party. 63 Jews expelled by Starmer lots of them for calling out Israel. Either they are reinstated or you should be expelled. The party can't have it both
ways
@skwawkbox
Why am I getting annoyed that the party are moving to the right, I have already decided that I won't vote for Starmer .Maybe because at age 74 and supported Labour all my life, I still hope for a Socialist Govt. I regret I will die still hoping. Starmer is ruining Labour
@JakeWSimons
Israel should never have been in Eurovision. They aren't in Europe. Their football team shouldn't be in the European championship. To me Europe should be solely European countries
@Matt72423
Excellent thread. I am 75 voted labour all my life, before Reeves was born. I support socialism so won't support Starmer and Reeves right wing party. It was my party not theirs to claim and theirs to destroy.They have stolen the Labour name. Labour is finished
@GrahamWarwick9
Starmer is actually worse. He completely controls the agenda and stifles free speech. He has dictated what can be raised at conference, any slight contentious points have been blocked. If he got to be PM it could become a dictatorship
@Sutty1958
There have been braille typewriters for decades and also voice activated processors for over 20+ years. People are so ignorant of tools available that help people with disabilities. I am making this point as a general comment, not specific to your case. Ignore them
@JuliaHB1
@jeremycorbyn
You are right it is petty. May is smartly dressed but continues to sell arms to Saudi to bomb innocent civilians in Yemen. I support someone who strives for peace. What has dress got to do with it
@KerryBurgess
Is it because Tutu has died and is regarded as a saint by the majority. Everything Tutu said and stood for is exactly what Corbyn said and stood for. Are they worried people will see it was a scam ?
@andrewfeinstein
The article was written by Ian Austin. False accusations of AS. Austin carried out 4 years of false attacks on Corbyn and the Labour party and was subsequently given a place in HOL. Not heard a peep from MSM ,who regularly gave Austin a platform to voice his false accusations
@maryeffrancis
@RachelReevesMP
I am a retired civil servant voted labour all my life. Starmer and Reeves bragging it is their party and I am not wanted. They don't have to worry I won't be voting labour as long as they remain in charge
@RachelRileyRR
Israel won't allow released hostages face the cameras. Any idea why? Could it be they were treated OK. Not like the Palestinians released from Israels jails
@earthygirl011
I am 74 been a socialist all my life. I actually hate being labelled Corbynite , not because I don't support Corbyn, but because like you say I have been here for 50+ years. I didn't suddenly appear, but Corbyn gave me hope. Starmer is trying to destroy that hope
@Hibbo71
Bloke told his wife that the window cleaner had been bragging he had slept with all the women in the street except one. Wife said..." That will be that stuck up bitch at number 35 " 🙄
@ToryFibs
My daughter is high school teacher. Home with the virus caught at school , now son in law and grand daughter are positive. Other grand daughter in quarantine. So because school is open, whole family isolated. Multiply this throughout the country. Madness
@SkyNews
@SamCoatesSky
Sky don't seem to gey it. 70%+ of the public want an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The 2 main parties are tied to Israel and donations from them because if this they are supporting genocide. The main culprit is Starmer. The left , socialists and Palestine supporters hate him
@cheeriopaws
I don't know how old you are but I took early retirement at 51. Took a part time job and I am 75 in August. Best thing I ever did. You have to do it or you will have regrets for the rest of your life. Good luck
@KateWilton1
@Peston
@SimonBruni
@Keir_Starmer
Is there support for a PV. I don,t hear it where I live. Message is MPs just get on with it. We didn,t ask for a referendum , but having been asked the people said leave. To me that is the end of it.
@LeftieStats
Is this the biggest U turn yet? Israel aren't going to agree to a 2 state solution, so labour have dumped another pledge. What do they actually stand for?
@KevinASchofield
Starmers labour... Israel attack Palestine, OK...Saudi attack Yemen, OK... Russia attack Ukraine, not OK. There is no consistency. ALL these attacks are wrong and Labour policy should be to criticize all of them
@lmharpin
Why is it always to do with Corbyn if people criticise something labour do. The Corbyn element left ages ago, but people like myself,age 76 voted labour all my life,are disgusted at what labour has become under Starmer. I vote for socialism not a name. Labour is not socialist
@broxtowelabour
At last a CLP that has acted in the interests of true labour. This labour party under Starmer is riding roughshod over any form of democracy. More CLPs should take note of the way the party is being run by a few right wingers in London
@Macca_ISZ
@NUFC_OurClub
Said exactly the same in the pub last night .We were asked to vote,so we voted ,if we hadn't been asked we would have carried on with life in orderly fashion. Our thoughts would have been concentrated on the crap Tory Govt
@siennamarla
This is what is wrong with Starmers labour. Every member if the labour front bench should be on the picket lines showing support. All unions should immediately withdraw funds
@ToryFibs
I think the daily bullshit now is wearing thin. Everyone knows the officials all got it wrong. No protective gear, not enough ventilators and most of all not enough tests. Non essential workers still being asked to work. The Govt must admit their mistakes and stop this pretence
@NatalieStrecke1
@GNev2
@UKLabour
Excellent thread. The Labour left are NOT the hard left portrayed by the media. They are in the main ordinary working people who believe in a fairer distribution of wealth. Is Rashford hard left for his school meals campaign. No. Starmer has moved the party too far to the right
@silverrich39
A vote for labour is showing support for Starmer. I don't know how anyone in Liverpool can vote for Starmers labour after he wrote in the Sun
@SaulStaniforth
@AyoCaesar
He lied to get elected and has continued to backtrack and lie for 4 years. Yet supporters come on here and say he is honest. He isnt
@ToryFibs
I wanted the left leaning MPs to ditch Starmer and firm a new socialist party. This hasn't happened so all I can wish for is Diane,Corbyn and others stand as independent and the left leaning MPs stand up to Starmer.
@StevePowers_
You have to ask why Israel? Why is Israel important to the labour party? I can only assume they are funding the labour party. I won't be voting for a party with close ties to an apartheid state.
@HuskerDude247
@broncoskolar
@LBC
She is my MP. I used to like her but she has moved with Starmer to the right instead of staying on the left. Starmer has been purging the left for 2 years
@Keir_Starmer
Starmer will say anything to get himself liked. Too late with Liverpool. Writing in the SUN is a red line he crossed and Liverpool won't forgive him. Suddenly he remembers Hillsborough on the eve if the labour conference. Has he ever mentioned it before?
@Peter_Shilton
@UnwinStanley
@afneil
Will cost you won't it Peter. Typical rich footballer made his money on the back of working class, but now turns his back on them Shame on you.
@SMCoulombeau
I think you got a trainee. A fully trained cashier would have noticed your speed and given you the short arm treatment. Left a couple of items just out of reach so you stretch over while they fire a quick 5 items through
@KevinASchofield
This seems a bit drastic. There are always 2 sides to an argument. I can't justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine , but I can also see that NATO have been slowly moving to the East. Starmer only sees his view and won't listen to people with different views. Dictatorial.
@drgerke1
I am 77 and like most of my friends we think Starmer is an establishment plant put there to keep the status quo. We don't think we will ever see a Government which puts the working class first. Starmer is for business first , austerity and satisfying his donors. No change.
@lisanandy
@Keir_Starmer
So let me get this straight. I have read this again and Lisa Nandy is saying that in Grimsby , today, when we still have a Tory Government,in industry good jobs are being offered to young people . She is promoting the Tories. At a time when Johnson is on the ropes. 🤦🏼♂️🙄
@LemSip27
Nothing to do with Corbyn. I am 75 been voting Labour all my life. I can't and won't support Starmer because as I said I support Labour. Starmer has stolen the name to promote a Tory lite party. I can't just vote for a name, I vote for change and socialist policies.
@RachelRileyRR
7000 Palestinian children murdered. Abigail is alive I hope she is soon free. How many Palestine children in Israel jails without charge?. Why are you unable to see the other side of the conflict. It is all horrendous, but both sides are guilty. Ceasefire now end this conflict
@novaramedia
I know Starmer is an establishment plant and many on social media know this, but a large section of the public never see the real Starmer . How do we get the public to see him for who he he is ? A liar and chancery, not in anyway is he on the side of the workers
@GlenMitchell1
I think the reason is Raynor stood on a socialist platform and quickly took Israeli money and became right wing. She has betrayed the labour name. She should be challenged
@MayorJD
@AndyBurnhamGM
I agree with Andy , but do people really believe if Starmer was in charge he would give Mayor's full responsibility. Look at the way he controls the labour party, a dictator. Anyone with a slightly different view is blocked. I don't trust him.
@WorkingDruid
We know it is a Tory policy and is a cruel policy. We don't expect labour to continue supporting this cruel policy, that is why he is being criticised
@ClaudiaBoleyn
I gave them up over 29 months ago. Starmer wants Respect , but has done everything to disrespect the party socialists. Respect is earned not something that comes with the job. The leader and front bench haven't earned that respect.
@_LFI
@Keir_Starmer
@UKLabour
The treatment of Palestinians, the stealing of land, the attacks at the mosque last weekend all sent shock waves around the world, but you choose to ignore it..Israel is an apartheid state, a fascist led regime, operating illegal settlements, but you support them. WHY?
@solma_ahmed
@charlotte2153
It is a matter of consistency in the party ,Rebecca Long Bailey lost her shadow cabinet position for far less. If Starmer wants to be believed and seen to be acting fairly then I am afraid she has to go to the backbenches
@hapoelorient
@RosieDuffield1
She tweeted that the Jewish people supporting Williamson should be thrown out of the party. I have not piled on her but think her tweet is totally out of order . People have a right to support who they want and picking on these Jewish people is surely AS
@MickWhitleyMP
Unfortunately the SCG have pampered to the red Tories and allowed Starmer to purge the left. Now it is too late for you to fight. Your days are numbered. One by one the SCG will be picked off and deselected. The SCG should have been more vociferous and challenged Starmer
@Keir_Starmer
You turned your back on them. This video is a disgrace. You listened to the BOD and cancelled an invitation to one of their ceremonies. That showed contempt for Muslims and they won't forget. Has your PR team told you to put this video out? By the way Where is the Forde report
@alexnunns
How did this go to trigger ballot. She has got unanimous support from all CLPs. Why wasn't this passed withouta trigger? It seems like right wing outside meddling to me.
@Keir_Starmer
Teachers are key workers , when they needed you, you abandoned them. You didn't keep them safe in 2020, why should they trust you to keep them safe in 2021
@BenPBradshaw
70% of the public agree with the tax rise. Only 9% are against it. Keir and Anneliese are getting support from PLP at the same time their popularity and Labour popularity is dropping every week .Do you not realise sometimes you get it wrong?
@AndyGJBurge
@Conservatives
I know it is a pittance , but state pension isn't taxed. However it is added to any private pension and then that is taxed.
@Keir_Starmer
Children spread the disease not just teachers. Travel to and from school is a huge problem. 2200 pupils in my daughters school, you can't social distance that many. So opening schools again before large numbers are vaccinated is asking for trouble.
@2BlossomBlue
@KayBurley
Rule is one household. Apparently 10 people in the party from Sky. one table for 6 one for 4. Then went in another restaurant at 11pm,then mix households back to her house. Her apology is a bit weak if the allegations are true
@Taj_Ali1
They will quote 2.9% compared to 4% + offered to nurses. Instead why don't they give everyone £2440 pay rise. Let's face it we all pay the same energy price ( capped),same petrol price,same food price etc. If they need £2440 then so do all of us
@Gabriel_Pogrund
Another reason not to vote labour. She left to setup a new party, then she moved to libdems, now back with labour. She is just a career politician with no loyalty to anyone but herself
@YoungLabourUK
@JaneCanan
Trade union members should not cross picket lines anyone who does is a scab. The Labour party was set up by the Unions to support workers. Certainly think not supporting people who break the union tradition and cross picket lines is the least canvassers can do.
@DavidLammy
@GaryLineker
@BBCMOTD
Yesterday labour representatives said Lineker was out of order. How can people support a party that flips from one side to the other. You set out labour's position Yesterday. Too late now to backtrack
@MartinRemains
I support ManUtd. If my team is playing bad and being led in the wrong direction..I don't look at Arsenal and say look they are worse. I want my team to improve, change course, sign new players and most of all give the Fans a voice. I am not a fool, Starmer is ruining the party
The nerve agent in Salisbury was never identified as novichok by OPCW, so why do BBC repeat the lie that it was novichok. Only May and Johnson said it was novichok.
Boots has closed its Amesbury store as "a precautionary measure" to allow police to carry out an investigation, a spokesperson confirmed. Why?
BBC News - Amesbury: Two collapse near Russian spy poisoning site
@margarethodge
Labour members have been expelled for expressing these views. In fact Corbyn has lost the whip for having similar views. JVL have been telling you for years what is happening, but they have been labelled as cranks. ,the wrong kind of jew. I hope your message is heard by Starmer
@PaulBrandITV
I have not seen one interview today asking May, why we are selling arms to Saudi to bomb Yemen.Right wing MSM is failing the British people
@Keir_Starmer
I will send Johnson a message and after voting labour all my life ,I am 75,I will be sending you a message as well. I support socialism and can't vote for right wing parties. So my vote will go to a candidate with true socialist values.
@JamesEFoster
@cjayanetti
Nothing to apologize for. AS in labour party was exaggerated. Jewish Chronicle already lost court cases for false accusations of AS.
@skwawkbox
So the Jewish Chroncle, who regularly say that Labour are being investigated, have in fact been investigated themselves by IPSO and found to be at fault in their reporting. Just hope MSM show this ..but very much doubt it. Labour MPs should push this everytime AS is raised
@Anna_Soubry
@peoplesvote_uk
People's vote leave win again ,what do you do then, another vote until we do what you want. 650MPs cost the country lots of money. Do your job get it sorted. Probably first time you have had to make a big decision.
@Casserly_Rock
@KayBurley
It wasn't a mistake. The only mistake was getting caught .We in Manchester have been lockdown since June. No meals with friends etc. I am not a begrudger I follow the rules. Kay has been criticizing rule breakers all year. She should have been sacked
@CharlotteS98194
Rubbish. Not sure how old you are but any other UK political leader is stretching it a bit. The fact he is a habitual liar doesn't strengthen your claim. His leadership pitch was based on 10 pledges all of which he ditched when he got elected. He has continued to lie for 4 years
@PeterStefanovi2
To be honest it isnt just the poorest. I am an OAP drive a small car which I can just about afford, have a combi boiler. I just can't afford £30,000 for an electriccar or £10,000 for a heat pump. There are millions of us just about managing but all our income is spent.
@Jonathan_K_Cook
Interesting article. Lots of us are learning about the history of Israel and Palestine since1948 and aren't falling for the claim it all started 7th October
@SamCoatesSky
Nandy,s brutal attack on Corbyn has now backfired spectacularly. She has been loyal to Starmer and now he has booted her out. Don't think anyone on the left has any sympathy for her.
@nfliving
He never sounds like he believes in what he is saying. Every speech seems like it has been written by someone else and he is just delivering it. There is no passion.
@SkyNews
@MaryLouMcDonald
@KayBurley
I hope you follow up on this because this is exactly what the majority of people think. Israel has far too much influence in UK politics and is now completely out of control. UK and US have given them a free ride for decades and now they are paying the price.
@JessicaLBarnard
Starmer says one thing and does the opposite. In every speech he says we will listen to people across the country. However he then suspends, blocks, expels people who don't agree with him. How can he unite people with this dictatorial approach
@Keir_Starmer
@ExpressandStar
Nothing you have said so far is offering change . I am a 77 year old pensioner, tell me how my life is going to change if you are elected?
@_Lumpy_Gravy
@Hepworthclare
Rate him or not. He has got a commitment for track and trace to start on 1st June and cancellation of NHS fees for foreign nationals. Not bad for 15 mins input
