In the Tory govt we have Johnson (editor for 5 years of the self-described antisemite 'Taki'), Rees-Mogg persistent Jew-baiter with a predilection for far right groups, Suella Braverman and Priti Patel who both voiced a-s tropes and Cummings dog-whistling Goldman Sachs. All good.

2001 19 years ago, Jeremy Corbyn delivered this masterclass explanation on the evils of PFI & the damage to staff morale caused by privatisation

If you spent your time spreading lies, smears and misinformation about @JeremyCorbyn, and did all you could to prevent him becoming PM, you have no right, NO RIGHT, to complain about the horror show we now have in power; you helped put it there.

"Austerity has caused the death of over 130,000 human beings in Britain." The moment Francesca Martinez spoke out on @BBCQuestionTime. She's written a play for us - called #AllOfUs - about the struggle to survive for those who don’t fit in: bit.ly/ntAllofUs

'Is it one rule for young black boys from the Caribbean and another for white boys from the US?' @jeremycorbyn attacks @borisjohnson over a deportation flight to Jamaica and says the government has learned 'absolutely nothing from the Windrush Scandal' #PMQs

This is surely assault/ABH/GBH by a South Yorkshire Police Officer. The 16-year-old wasn't even part of the alleged "disturbance". The 47-year-old who "injured the officer", appears to have done so to protect the kid who's head got smashed open. teapawt.net/jackhinchclif11/status…

I'm walking to the train a few minutes ago and a woman walked right up to me and gave me a tight hug and whispered quickly, "please act like you know me 3 guys are following me for a while" I played along then walked her 3 blocks home. What an experience for the both of us.

The government should not have the power to strip any British national of his/her citizenship. There is something quite sinister about it. Much better to address any alleged wrongdoing by the individual through the justice system (should they ever return.) bbc.com/news/uk-51413040

It's fascinating watching the same insults being hurled at Bernie Sanders supporters across the pond, that Jeremy Corbyn supporters have had to put up with for 5 years! Almost as if centrists the world over, would rather elect a fascist, than allow a smidgen of socialism 🤔

This has to be illegal, surely? Both sickening and heartbreaking the lengths they've gone to, to try and destroy one of the most sincere, honest politicians I've come across in my 53 years.
How many people saw these posters on election day? Shocking stuff. @PostalVoteProbe

Jeremy Corbyn and his team in LOTO have faced unprecedented attacks and smears for over four years now. They have acted with dignity and strength through it all and are some of the finest people I know. inews.co.uk/news/politics/je…

These gentlemen asked me where I was from after they kicked and bullied a decent man. Not from “little England” that’s for sure.
An Italian reporter called Federico Gatti, @federicogatti standing against “some” Brexit fans who were bullying a local artist today at Parliament Square Garden / London. (respect to the flags?) #brexit #europe #europeanunion #politics #brexitday #london #italia #NotMyBrexit

Hey! Has anybody noticed how the POSTAL VOTE SCANDAL keeps growing with more & more evidence mounting up! Yet it seems nobody's interested in publishing anything about it! What do we do if it's found that the GE was rigged? Who do we go to for action & justice? Anybody know? 🧐

More sacred saguaros plowed over by earth-movers, sawed into chunks like firewood and tossed into trash heaps at the border. @DHSgov is crushing everything in its path to build Trump’s despicable #BorderWall.
