| DELETED | The same actor is in multiple videos of different alleged incidents - you can view them all on the #MrFAFO hashtag. | ||
| DELETED | This tweet makes it fairly clear that the SNP's main objective with their ceasefire motion is to score political points against Labour. | ||
| DELETED | Yes, the longer version is introduced by #MrFAFO and has wider framing on the shots that makes it more obvious it is staged. | ||
| DELETED | Because I don't support a ceasefire. I want the war to end by Israel defeating Hamas or it surrendering. | ||
| DELETED | They haven't bombed hospitals. | ||
| DELETED | No families have been targeted except by Hamas. Israel does not deliberately target civilians, it does more than any other military to try to avoid civilian casualties. | ||
| DELETED | They hate Balfour because his declaration of support for a "national home for the Jewish people" allowed about 400,000 Jews to escape from Eastern Europe to Palestine between the wars. Without it they would have died alongside 6m other victims of the Holocaust. | ||
| DELETED | Pick a side, Houthi terrorists or the Royal Navy. I'm with the Royal Navy. | ||
| DELETED | I.e. of Hamas. | ||
| DELETED | Absolutely shocking low that it has taken less than 3 months since the worst terrorist attacks since 9/11 for people to be calling for sanctions not against the perpetrator - Hamas - but against the victim - Israel - for the way it has tried to tackle the terrorist threat. | ||
| DELETED | Graphic clip I just watched on @SkyNewsBreak of alleged hit on Shifa Hospital in Gaza is identical to that circulated earlier today fronted by the Hamas actor known on here as #MrFAFO. Please can news outlets at least do basic due diligence that they are not using fake footage. | ||
| DELETED | @joe3469 it's a commonly used thing to accuse people who support Israel of being Mossad agents or paid by Israel so please avoid | ||
| DELETED | The Israeli security establishment- leadership of Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF - are usually perceived as having a left positioning in Israeli terms ie in favour of a conciliatory approach to the Palestinians and an eventual two state solution. | ||
| DELETED | PS I can't speak for the defectors as I am Labour, but I don't respect the referendum result, it was bonkers | ||
| DELETED | Send it to me and I will pursue | ||
| DELETED | For a group called "Labour Against the Witchhunt" this looks remarkably like a witch hunt. No idea what @MaryWimbury did to offend them but she should probably see being hated by people who whitewash antisemitism as a compliment. https://t.co/96afxzN5WD | ||
| DELETED | Tories are my enemy" says profile of guy spending his evening calling Labour NEC candidate a "dick". https://t.co/zOl4KfZZY2 | ||
| DELETED | @frankiehsimons Actually he was second- Greenstein was first. | ||
| DELETED | @LauraCatriona @ZeObserver @danielelton @OwenJones84 It's taking the piss - deliberately baiting the mainstream groups that protested on Monday. | ||
| DELETED | Will be interesting to see if @Oxford_Labour All Member Meeting tonight supports motion from Greater Marston (branch I am secretary of) calling for UK to stay in customs union and for a second referendum on terms of Brexit. | ||
| DELETED | @ArglesJonathan @Sarahistorygirl @SeemaChandwani Tower Hamlets politics doesn't categorise neatly like that e.g. Lutfur Rahman campaigned for David Miliband in 2010 but appeared allied to Ken Livingstone & remnants of George Galloway's Respect party | ||
| DELETED | Hat tip to @daverich1 for spotting who in George Galloway's book he says he first floated the idea of the Respect party with | ||
| DELETED | @WirralMomentum @leicesterliz What a load of nonsense. The "coup" only happened because the polls and the EU referendum showed JC was not likely to win a GE. | ||
| DELETED | Blog rant: http://lukeakehurst.blogspot.com/2010/02/class-war-alive-and-well-at-conhome.html | ||
| DELETED | @warrior4evermor @formerleft Nope. Islamism is a political ideology, not the same thing as Islam. | ||
| DELETED | Indeed, how did I become an MP? I'm such an idiot I missed it happening. https://t.co/TLgVQJUEO5 | ||
| DELETED | @paulmasonnews Where does he think those extra votes came from? Young people, LDs, Greens - all remainers. | ||
| DELETED | The weirdest thing about @paulmasonnews list of who shouldn't be in Labour is it includes "remainers"... | ||
| DELETED | @Nialloffical24 No, my bets were all based on hunches and tips from local activists | ||
| DELETED | My 14-1 bet comes in https://t.co/ssHhtqnFz4 | ||
| DELETED | I bet £10 on this at 20-1.... https://t.co/33HOwSiZry | ||
| DELETED | @maxshanly I would like to thank my Scottish betting adviser @scottr0gers though Kirkcaldy even he balked at ... | ||
| DELETED | Another of my long odds bets coming into play https://t.co/r4C66xsCd5 | ||
| DELETED | @MarkSeddon1962 @britainelects I'm predicting I am £800 better off as every constituency I bet on Labour winning is coming through | ||
| DELETED | If the Scottish results are true I am about £800 richer based on bets I made on Labour gains | ||
| DELETED | @HuwJonesLabour @ToniaAntoniazzi Great, I have a small bet on Tonia winning that one back! | ||
| DELETED | What I think about the Tory push for more grammar schools: https://t.co/IxpDd0Ms9q | ||
| DELETED | @MSmithsonPB is there a betting market for Unite GS race? | ||
| DELETED | @JackGaleaa with LRC and Walker despite differences on Israel etc | ||
| DELETED | Looks like McDonnell's LRC is on side of Jackie Walker's Grassroots Momentum in the split with Lansman https://t.co/6uJ8UZsg8k | ||
| DELETED | @SeemaChandwani someone who supports a group w an Islamist political ideology eg Muslim Brotherhood or Jamaat-al-islami. | ||
| DELETED | @manxboy it was perpetrated in Tower Hamlets by Labour's enemies on the Islamist far left: https://t.co/mh8ZsXBujp | ||
| DELETED | @SirBasilBrush no the farming bit of family are upset that the EU won't allow amateur castration of cockerels by non-vets. | ||
| DELETED | End of a long day during which someone told me they couldn't possibly be antisemitic as they were allied with Tony Greenstein. | ||
| DELETED | @JRogan3000 @ComiskeyNathan @DavidMills73 @CoffeeandCave sadly we are leaving the EU anyway | ||
| DELETED | @suey2y who is the Asian mayor in the shadow cabinet? | ||
| DELETED | @MatthewRavenhil @DebraJinks @Benjwestwood @chris_chalky @TheSirrahYnot how cd Galloway rejoin when there is now a moderate majority on NEC? | ||
| DELETED | @timallon only requires 1 in 6 of his supporters last year to be angry about sabotage of remain campaign | ||
| DELETED | @suey2y @BenPBradshaw how can we unite behind someone who deliberately sabotaged the remain campaign? | ||
| DELETED | They assume his behaviour during referendum has not alienated 1 in 6 of people who voted 4 him. If it has he loses https://t.co/tSNLMCALoM | ||
| DELETED | After the referendum catastrophe Labour must change direction. Support my NEC campaign here: https://t.co/pZdJLPNmPg Please RT. | ||
| DELETED | My dad's pig farming business was destroyed when we joined Common Market but it was 40 years ago so I am voting #Remain to save today's jobs | ||
| DELETED | Just voted by post to stay in the EU. | ||
| DELETED | @Jack_TaylorSE15 @jreedmp @spellar @STWuk I actually am speaking about Trident at @workersliberty | ||
| DELETED | Ashdown right to say only foreign leader who wants UK to leave EU is Putin | ||
| DELETED | And it didn't take long to get a Rothschilds antisemitic trope into the mix ... https://t.co/YcMbgkeaje | ||
| DELETED | @BDSJustice @MichaelDugher you keep sending me links to Tony Greenstein. Am I supposed to be impressed? | ||
| DELETED | @BDSJustice @MichaelDugher errrm that's a comment from Tony Greenstein (https://t.co/lDB6zhBDxX) | ||
| DELETED | And both the Labour and Class War candidates read the tweet as indicating support for the latter https://t.co/OUrpxJxcdm | ||
| DELETED | @Phillip_D_Jones @SEANLWOODCOCK @rachel_wenstone @simonevans117 there were already nearly 30 explicitly Muslim States before IS. | ||
| DELETED | Just checking with @RichardAngell that I still qualify as a "Progress dick" as charmingly described below... https://t.co/RTWJYHoi8h | ||
| DELETED | .@joe3469 neat use of antisemitic trope about "Mossad" payments there. | ||
| DELETED | @stephenkb @Alex_Ross_Shaw but lots of Asian residents which is the other driver of mass membership CLPs e.g. also Brum, Southall | ||
| DELETED | Galloway manifesto for Bradford - a tad ambitious for a single MP to achieve: http://t.co/8kNltdQHln | ||
| DELETED | I don't think it is acceptable for the GS of an affiliated TU to speculate about a scab breakaway party http://t.co/t3QHvSFoY4 | ||
| DELETED | .@maryhoneyball giving great explanation of practical ways extra Labour MEPs will help make EU more progressive #ppw14 | ||
| DELETED | Latest second hand book purchase "Quite Right, Mr Trotsky!" by Denver Walker - humourous critique by a Stalinist of Trot factions | ||
| DELETED | @JrussoUK @tomilo @CalumSPlath RAF did target civilians in Dresden - was carpet bombing. Israel doesn't target civilians. | ||
| DELETED | @mehdirhasan (2/2) just as in Cold War social democrats had key role vs communism so now democratic Muslims key to fighting Islamist extreme | ||
| DELETED | @mehdirhasan I agree that Islamist terrorism is no more connected to mainstream Islam than Leninism was to democratic socialism but (1/2)... | ||
| DELETED | Just read @OwenJones84 article on Galloway. Important to realise oratory that works w a live audience can make u look bonkers +shouty on TV. | ||
| DELETED | @twinjenin @danleveneuk @benabyad is the UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk? Also a 9/11 conspiracy theorist etc? If so, yes. | ||
| DELETED | @londonmuslim @benabyad I would expect that the Muslim voters in my ward don't support Hamas and would deplore terrorist rocket attacks | ||
| DELETED | .@Tim_Flatman @jeff_wode given Galloway's recent Assange comments am v relieved he is no longer Labour MP and his views don't reflect on us | ||
| DELETED | @jeff_wode the fault still lay with Galloway's behaviour. No one made him say what he said. Other left MPs opposed war without that language | ||
| DELETED | Are CND members happy that their Gen Secretary is moonlighting as Galloway's Respect candidate in a by-election? | ||
| DELETED | @DanRRatcliffe @richardmarcj where I come from you don't scab on national organisations you are part of | ||
| DELETED | Galloway position on Tibet bizarre. Supposed anti-imperialist supports Chinese imperialism and colonisation of Tibet. | ||
| DELETED | @ruskinite good to know I have been downgraded from "fiend" to "fruitloop". Next step "class traitor". Personal abuse always backfires. | ||
| DELETED | @ruskinite lucky 4 u unlike Galloway I am not litigious as you prima facie defamed me and could be sued for libel - it applies on Twitter | ||
| DELETED | @Labourpaul I assume @ruskinite thinks means Muslim which it doesn't. Can't have watched news coverage of Arab Spring. Or was confused by it | ||
| DELETED | @AlanScobbie @Labourpaul @peterwatt123 quite diff to debate what problem is with Islamist ideology if accused of racism for using the word | ||
| DELETED | @SeemaChandwani they didn't leave. Salma was never member. Galloway was expelled. SWP were SWP. Can't be a Leninist and a dem socialist, | ||
| DELETED | @SeemaChandwani @mmurday87 of course not, but you can be anti-Zionist without being an Islamist or a Leninist. Fatah wing of PLO r neither. | ||
| DELETED | @SeemaChandwani @mmurday87 in this context Islamism refers to the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| DELETED | @SUwebsite we lost Bradford cos tried to frame as Lab vs Con when should have attacked Galloway hard using Poplar template | ||
| DELETED | @SalmaYaqoob @jonlansman No one made you join another party, stay outside Lab (your other 2 Brum cllrs joined us) or campaign 4 Galloway | ||
| DELETED | @danielblaney @HackneyAbbott the anti-war movement needs to take a look at itself if it ends with Galloway as "leader" + SWP as organisers | ||
| DELETED | @MsIntervention I never knew you had that in common with George Galloway | ||
| DELETED | @mrmarksteel Mr Galloway's final campaign letter to the Muslim community implied he was in God's eyes a better Muslim than Imran Hussain | ||
| DELETED | @Calderbank no we need to think about very specific issue of disaffection of part of Muslim community. | ||
| DELETED | @KatieCurtis interesting rumours that Socialist Action activists in Yorkshire were working on Galloway campaign | ||
| DELETED | @vriyait we did know it, there was a full page report in the Guardian saying it would happen, plus all the bookies suspended betting | ||
| DELETED | @PeterKenyon about appeal of Galloway rhetoric to young Muslims disillusioned w UK foreign policy + communal power hierarchy | ||
| DELETED | @davidosler their candidate last time was Muslim. Looks like their white vote has switched to Lab and their Muslim vote to Galloway. | ||
| DELETED | Heading back to London w very sore feet from #labourdoorstep . Hope we have done enough to stop the Galloway bandwagon. | ||
| DELETED | @popeandrew quite apart from stab in back for hard working 3rd place CLPs | ||
| DELETED | I'm not going to spend the last 20 mins of first 40 years of my life watching George Galloway. | ||
| DELETED | There's a very good reason why mine countermeasures vessels are made with non-metalic hulls ... | ||
| DELETED | Wonder how history will look back at people who didn't stand in solidarity with Israel defending itself when it was attacked by Hamas and its citizens slaughtered in the most barbaric way possible. | ||
| DELETED | It's morally reprehensible to suggest stopping a country that is trying to defeat Hamas after the worst terror attack since 9/11 from receiving the equipment its armed forces need. | ||
| DELETED | @TyroneS42704917 This twat is on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party. | ||
| DELETED | Totally sane reply | ||
| DELETED | @oilwellsthatend @labtowin I haven't seen that but I can assure you that our disciplinary processes are able to judge the difference between antisemitic criticism of Israel and other criticism of Israel. A lot of antisemitism cases are nothing to do with Israel and are Rothschild tropes etc. | ||
| DELETED | RT @willgeorgelloyd: Updates incase you need it: Labour are on course for their largest majority in Wakefield since Blair. As more votes… |
||
| DELETED | Really extraordinary that John and other have leapt to the defence of Lowkey, an ally of Chris Williamson and David Miller who raps about Rothschild and globalising the intifada. Alternative petition to get anti-Israel hate off Spotify is here: https://t.co/hPRZq2Hjij https://t.co/jOa0XWbfQM | ||
| DELETED | @JHMmmm0 "Blue Labour" are a specific, small organisation - the guys who are anti-immigration, pro Brexit, socially conservative etc - not my politics at all. It's not a general term for people on right of Labour. | ||
| DELETED | @mygibbo @forwardnotback My memory of Annual Conference 2019 Brexit debate is all the Corbynites cheering because the composite favoured by LOTO beat the more pro EU one. | ||
| DELETED | @Jackiew80333500 Nope, my only knowledge of your case comes from national media coverage like this: https://t.co/4df69s0DI6 | ||
| DELETED | Congratulations to my friends @aliceperryuk and @JohannaBaxter on their election as the new Chair and Vice Chair of @UKLabour at the NEC AGM just now. | ||
| DELETED | @daneacross Ken Loach was auto-excluded for supporting Labour Against the Witchhunt - this is an organisation set up to suggest that tackling antisemitism is a "witchhunt". | ||
| DELETED | @ElworthyStone There were over 270 people at a delegate based GC so no apathy on either side | ||
| DELETED | @pruneah Yes | ||
| DELETED | Clearly Galloway should follow Howard Beckett's example and withdraw https://t.co/FGUQUlH3Tj | ||
| DELETED | I was pleased to speak for vast majority of Labour members who want to focus on campaigning for a Labour victory in May's against the ridiculous - and undemocratic - calls for a recall conference (of delegates elected 2 years ago!) - at today's NEC. | ||
| DELETED | Banning of "Muslims Against Crusades" has got me thinking up other daft anachronistic political campaign names. | ||
| DELETED | No we were definitely not in the SWP, it's just a coincidence that we can remember its exact editorial position 33 years ago https://t.co/ZNxndfTqns | ||
| DELETED | @SkiffleRevival I'm not a normal person | ||
| DELETED | @patrickamon @michaeljswalker I don't accept your world view that there is an extant force called "western imperialism" let alone that Israel is connected to it. What Israel and the West have in common is liberal democratic values. That's nothing to do with "imperialism". | ||
| DELETED | @patrickamon @michaeljswalker Agreed. | ||
| DELETED | @timdwelly @UKLabour @LabourAgainstAS @Gabriel_Pogrund Tim the reason why there is an EHRC Action Plan is because the EHRC judges the actions until now to be inadequate, so whatever the answer is, it's by definition insufficient action. The number doesn't matter as we all know the party hasn't until now got the problem under control. | ||
| DELETED | @patrickamon @michaeljswalker The asymmetry in military power is because Israel had to invest massively in national defence because the neighbouring states repeatedly tried to destroy it as a state, with genocide as the implicit corollory. | ||
| DELETED | @patrickamon @michaeljswalker No it's because Israel is a state shaped by the trauma of the Holocaust so they are never going to take security gambles that could put their people at risk of another genocide. | ||
| DELETED | @JDerklin @tessfrancesc Every union rep on the NEC voted for it. | ||
| DELETED | @wodgedean @michaeljswalker They are currently the core vote of the main party of government. | ||
| DELETED | @timdwelly @AlanOlive1 @Labourpaul @gsjosan @LabourAgainstAS @DavidHirsh @antisemitism @Gabriel_Pogrund @laas Just a clarification - the readmissions following auto exclusion wouldn't be anything to do with antisemitism as it can't be dealt with by auto ex. They would be people who signed another party's nomination papers etc but argued it was innocent & they actually still support Lab. | ||
| DELETED | @michaeljswalker I think the 50% of Israeli Jews whose families came to Israel from Morocco, Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Yemen etc, who have never had any connection to Europe whatsoever, and who would be seen in UK as people of colour, would be surprised by your take on their history and identity. | ||
| DELETED | @timdwelly @AlanOlive1 @Labourpaul @gsjosan @LabourAgainstAS @DavidHirsh @antisemitism @Gabriel_Pogrund @laas These are stats from the final year of the previous Gen Sec. Control of the NEC and management of the party has since changed, and procedurally the NEC Disputes Panel is now processing a very large number of cases with very frequent meetings. | ||
| DELETED | @timdwelly @AlanOlive1 @Labourpaul Except in auto exclusion cases no one can be expelled without first being suspended while the disciplinary process takes place. | ||
| DELETED | @JDerklin @tessfrancesc There is a "significant antisemitism problem" in the union movement but that's not the same as your earlier statement that "all the unions seem antisemitic". Some are moderate controlled and have fought AS in Labour. They are divided and a battleground, just like Labour Party. | ||
| DELETED | This is bizarre. Two people I know have died of Covid and another one has been in a coma for months, several friends have had long Covid and still got after effects, others were really scarily ill for a week. https://t.co/v34LN9AfNk | ||
| DELETED | @JDerklin @tessfrancesc Not true, most of the major unions adopted IHRA before the Labour Party did, and Unison, Usdaw and GMB (3 of big 4) are broadly aligned with Starmer inside Labour | ||
| DELETED | @Sans_culottes89 @ijb19662 @LabourList @UKLabour Mind explaining why the grassroots voted me top in the NEC election? | ||
| DELETED | @DavidClem007 @LabourList Labourlist isn't a group within the party its a news and opinion blog for all points of view within Labour | ||
| DELETED | A year after the General Election, reposting my take on the catastrophe Corbyn and his supporters led Labour and the country into. Some humility and contrition from them for this completely predictable disaster, entirely of their making, would be welcome. https://t.co/olD0DBUBDZ | ||
| DELETED | @politicalfubol Their own behaviour in the 1980s? | ||
| DELETED | @kickybarr The pre 2015 members are delighted by recent changes | ||
| DELETED | Wrote this in June, it was spot on | ||
| DELETED | @DavidMorris1984 Ignore it, the fact I came top in the NEC ballot shows it isn't representative | ||
| DELETED | Hats off for commitment to the member making a silent protest on my CLP AMM Zoom by wearing a JC t shirt and gaffer taping shut his mouth. Unfortunately for the meeting this means he can't actually tell us what his opinions are. | ||
| DELETED | Not quite sure why @LabourList is reposting my article from June, but seems rude not to share it again https://t.co/xZPt6clhx4 | ||
| DELETED | @keith_egerton @GeorgeAylett @ShamaTatler No it means officers of CLPs are defined in law as agents of the party so the party is legally liable for their actions. | ||
| DELETED | @AhoFrank Tridente. | ||
| DELETED | @JDerklin @GeorgeAylett @ShamaTatler Not actually true, it's the NEC who employ the General Secretary. | ||
| DELETED | @Simon_P_Hannah Patricia Hewitt was identified with the Soft Left in 1987. | ||
| DELETED | @GeorgeAylett @ShamaTatler The person who has to lead on implementing the recommendations is the General Secretary, as head of paid service. Please stop undermining him when he is trying to obey a legal instruction from the EHRC. It looks terrible and the EHRC and country are watching. | ||
| DELETED | @GeorgeAylett @ShamaTatler It's not up to me to decide whether a motion is in order. That power has been delegated to the General Secretary by the NEC, check with staff at Region before proceeding. | ||
| DELETED | @GeorgeAylett @ShamaTatler If you aren't sure if a motion is in order, ask your Regional Director. | ||
| DELETED | @GeorgeAylett @ShamaTatler This is what the GS has said today on this issue: "to be clear, the Labour Party was found guilty of breaking the law on anti-Semitism. We are now not trusted to run our own affairs until we satisfy the EHRC that we have fully addressed the issues that meant our Party ... | ||
| DELETED | It isn't? https://t.co/EIJqxqPKZj | ||
| DELETED | @LukasMukasPukas Easy mistake to make | ||
| DELETED | @AdamLehey @BritainElects @RedfieldWilton Already tweeted it when it came out | ||
| DELETED | @JohnWallcraft @David__Osland 1995 | ||
| DELETED | @Jsorene @DHSCgovuk Well done! | ||
| DELETED | Was really great to spend the evening with the fantastic team at @Somalis4Labour hearing about the issues affecting their community https://t.co/5gXkFlVfrD | ||
| DELETED | @johnb78 Not sure about that. People born then in UK still had to endure 11+ education segregation that failed the majority, often left school at 15, and if men did two years tedium of national service. | ||
| DELETED | @DaveMJo1 @suziegeewizz My complexion is a result of the life threatening nerve illness I suffered a decade ago, which also left me disabled. You ought to be able to attack my politics - which I chose - without attacking my appearance, which is linked to a medical condition I didn't choose. | ||
| DELETED | @chewgnasher Please note that as an NEC member I am expected to take up casework on behalf of members, particularly if they alert me to bad practice in their CLPs. | ||
| DELETED | @benneh1985 Labour is 3% ahead of the Tories | ||
| DELETED | @SpitfireCC @LinRedford @LondonLabour That's probably not the funniest thing to tweet at someone disabled who can only move at walking pace because they need a stick and orthotic splints. | ||
| DELETED | @ferhermusic I'm not. | ||
| DELETED | Labour appoints standards adviser to implement recommendations of EHRC antisemitism report https://t.co/tGcXHFu0fE via @jewishchron | ||
| DELETED | @JimmyHSands Legal_queries@labour.org.uk | ||
| DELETED | @HannaFlint Agreed | ||
| DELETED | @SmythLr So out of touch that I just came top in an OMOV ballot | ||
| DELETED | @TitusPublius Guidance from the General Secretary of the Labour Party | ||
| DELETED | Labour Party members shouldn't have to put up with divisive debates re individual disciplinary cases that have been ruled not competent business and make meetings an unsafe unwelcoming space. Please report incidents at party meetings to the national party so they can take action | ||
| DELETED | @rupert_higham @gabrielquotes @alispins @daverich1 @NorthWestFOI It was his political stances on foreign and security policy. Those are deal breakers. | ||
| DELETED | @rupert_higham @gabrielquotes @alispins @daverich1 @NorthWestFOI I didn't have a problem with the policies in the 2017 manifesto. I had a problem with the rhetoric, character and behaviour of the people leading the party at that time. | ||
| DELETED | @rupert_higham @gabrielquotes @alispins @daverich1 @NorthWestFOI I am a Zionist, but given I've just been elected to the Labour Party NEC, I'm clearly not "right-wing". Boringly centre left is a more accurate description. | ||
| DELETED | @AHizanidis @JohannaBaxter @gsjosan My response | ||
| DELETED | I'm not able to comment on whether the Momentum slate are effective fighters or arguers for anything, as they only stayed in their first NEC meeting long enough to say they were leaving. It looked more like running away from their responsibilities than the "taking a stand". https://t.co/5P6ndrESjP | ||
| DELETED | About to attend my first NEC meeting since Annual Conference 2012. See you in about eight hours time! | ||
| DELETED | @TasTasty @siennamarla @charliemansell Would be fairly difficult to analyse the results without naming the candidate who came top. | ||
| DELETED | @K4rmaRules @josiephee111 @kirstym011 @janrules @SendShit @PostOffice @Iromg @PoundShopOwen Yes they said they did it and showed a photo of the payment page. | ||
| DELETED | @AaronBastani I've been a supporter of electoral reform for over 30 years. | ||
| DELETED | @ClareFKing Local members in that CLP have raised concerns with me repeatedly. The bulk of NEC members' casework load is about this kind of issue. | ||
| DELETED | @KeirStitt @paulw56 That's why the meetings last 8 hours... meets at party HQ in non Covid times | ||
| DELETED | @ankiisme Personally I am opposed to all member structures as they undermine the union link. In such a huge CLP AMMs are impractically large. | ||
| DELETED | @ankiisme The delegates elected by local party members are heavily outnumbered by delegates appointed by a narrow range of affiliated organisations. | ||
| DELETED | @AminMawaniUK @markhowell7 @SJG99 It just requires an alteration to the CLP's standing orders to give each party branch a lower member per delegate requirement. Doesn't require any rule changes and affilates still get same number of delegates. | ||
| DELETED | Thank you Nathan, you have been brilliant. You made a decisive contribution to victories in April and last week that may have saved the Labour Party. https://t.co/fiVdXDkrQg | ||
| DELETED | @markhowell7 @SJG99 Decrease the number of members required for each delegate on the party branch side. | ||
| DELETED | @smokejack Maybe Twitter isn't very representative of Labour members' opinions | ||
| DELETED | One of my priorities as an NEC member will be to ask party to deal with the inappropriate delegate structure of the Dulwich & West Norwood CLP. It needs new standing orders where branch parties representing local members actually have a majority on GC as a matter of urgency. https://t.co/kph2HUikF9 | ||
| DELETED | @cymrurouge @DrStedx It just came conventional Royal Mail in a jiffy bag, then a gift wrapped plastic takeaway box. There was a printed note from the company included. | ||
| DELETED | He "inspired millions" to vote Tory. https://t.co/GL1D8B8esW | ||
| DELETED | @MSEPlanning @RhonddaBryant @BlaenauGwentMP No but both of us were also Chief Whip in Hackney | ||
| DELETED | @gjoneill I'm the Director of We Believe in Israel so this isn't really a huge gotcha. | ||
| DELETED | Just enjoyed a great evening debating Labour's immediate past and future with @FisherAndrew79 and @Hannah_O_Rourke at @OxUniLabour . Really good discussion conducted in an inclusive and comradely way. | ||
| DELETED | @MarkSeddon1962 Sure | ||
| DELETED | @MarkSeddon1962 Historically, we have had a formal Jewish affiliate for 100 years (Poale Zion, now @JewishLabour ). We also have a Christian affiliate (@ChrLeft) and I hope we will soon have Muslim, Sikh, Hindu etc affiliates are there are great Labour organisations connected to these faiths. | ||
| DELETED | @MarkSeddon1962 The BoD isn't trying to "have influence over" Labour, it's trying to speak up in defence of the community it represents. It is simply asking Labour to stop the harassment, victimisation and discrimination of Jews that the EHRC has found the party guilty of. | ||
| DELETED | This is an ignorant comparison. The Catholic church is a specific denomination and a faith organisation. The Board of Deputies is elected by Jews from synagogues of any denomination and secular Jewish organisations, it's specific role is a national representative body. https://t.co/t6wKhqkUyH | ||
| DELETED | Thanks to the people spamming me with thousands of emails about restoring the whip to Jeremy Corbyn. I have no control over this as it is not an NEC matter but am using this medium to reply and tell you all that I wholeheartedly support the action that Keir Starmer has taken. | ||

| DELETED | @garbonzo_the @ahhwhatishappen @hamasinpitta2 @GarySpedding @UKLabour Don't be absurd. You aren't calling for any of the other populations displaced in the conflicts of the 1940s to get their land back, including the half of Israeli Jews who were refugees from Arab countries. | ||
| DELETED | @CopSiki @ahhwhatishappen @hamasinpitta2 @GarySpedding @UKLabour No. On settlements I'm in favour of land swaps as envisaged in the Clinton Parameters and the Arab Peace Initiative. Otherwise it won't be possible to get Israel to agree to a deal. | ||
| DELETED | @Gordon_sutt I think the thing with spies is they are supposed to keep their job secret. They wouldn't actually run round saying how they supported Israel. | ||

| DELETED | @7Oaksfamilycalm @UKLabour It was simply an attack rather than a complaint. It didn't contain any allegation of a breach of party rules. | ||
| DELETED | @7Oaksfamilycalm There was no mention in the email of it being a complaint. | ||
| DELETED | @7Oaksfamilycalm What is? | ||
| DELETED | @7Oaksfamilycalm The person sending the email sent it to me as well as everyone else. | ||
| DELETED | @ahhwhatishappen @hamasinpitta2 @GarySpedding @UKLabour Right of return to a new Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, but not to pre-1967 Israel as best way forwards is to build two states for two peoples. | ||
| DELETED | @ABLPoli Thanks this is very useful analysis | ||
| DELETED | It's a special welcome to the NEC that someone has just emailed the General Secretary and all of my NEC colleagues about me with the subject line "Israel Spy". | ||
| DELETED | @timspencer1 @edcrick @earthygirl011 It wasn't the language that made me retweet it, it was you saying no one in Labour liked me, when I've just come top in an OMOV ballot. | ||
| DELETED | @timspencer1 @edcrick @earthygirl011 I retweeted your comment because it was hilariously silly. | ||
| DELETED | @EmmaBurnell_ @PoliSciJack I meant I've never seen it published for any organisation's STV election, as it's theoretical data about where people's preferences might have flowed but didn't, so didn't in practice affect the result. | ||

| DELETED | @DaiLlDavies @CherryBaz Nah you don't understand STV or the composition of the NEC. And you can't spell divisive. Keir just secured a working majority on the NEC. I'm proud to be part of it. | ||
| DELETED | @2015Jmr Luckily for you the NEC does not control policy making. | ||
| DELETED | @DaiLlDavies Learn some manners. If someone wins an election it is customary to congratulate them. | ||

| DELETED | @DaiLlDavies I'm responding to someone insinuating the ballot was rigged. I topped the poll by a wide margin after 5 years of constant personal abuse and being told I was an unelectable hate figure. Both me and the people who voted for me are entitled to celebrate a bit. | ||
| DELETED | @DaiLlDavies And your point is? | ||
| DELETED | @jamesk74497814 @sammywrainbow The NEC has no role in policy development. | ||

| DELETED | @JefJC @thomasbowell @AlexBathurst @labtowin FYI Vietnamese people who live in the UK are almost entirely refugees from communism whose families supported the American/South Vietnamese side in the Vietnam War. | ||
| DELETED | @mcash By the way whilst I agree with the theoretical point about the efficacy of vote equalisation in STV elections, in this case I don't think we could have got an extra seat through that tactic, we just had only enough 1st prefs for 3 quotas. | ||
| DELETED | @woman_rage @soopagaz He's only 7 years older than me so that would be a bit of a biological stretch. | ||
| DELETED | @hosta357 Yes, trade union Affiliated Supporters and also Registered Supporters can vote for leader but not for NEC. | ||

| DELETED | As a newly elected NEC member I want to meet with @LabourMuslims as early as possible to discuss their important report and how we can tackle Islamophobia: https://t.co/pIyWE8ClwX | ||
| DELETED | This is NOT true. The 293,000 turnout figure is from April 2020 when it was same time as a leadership election. 96,000 of those votes were blank as only voted for leader not NEC. Turnout in 2018 was more like 143,000, almost identical to this year. https://t.co/ihzGfdIf0q | ||

| DELETED | @ChrisHicks50 @anniepixeykeys @PilkoSpilko Sorry that's nonsense. If you resign in writing you have terminated your contract with the party and have no further rights. | ||
| DELETED | @BallotBoxScot @CouncillorKerri @charliemansell @DannyFiler @timparamour Yep it's the system called "ERS 1997 STV". | ||
| DELETED | Well this is a bit nerve-wracking. | ||
| DELETED | @timparamour Highly unlikely as to get 6 of 9 seats you would need 2/3 of the vote | ||
| DELETED | @d_r_ew No only the ones who voted after resigning | ||
| DELETED | @CaoimheHaleLab Yeah I've fessed up. I assumed it was a public statement as nothing in the email suggested it was confidential. In any case it should be public, voters have as much right to the info as candidates do. | ||
| DELETED | @lauren1995x__ Just on website. There's no verbal declaration, it's just publication of a set of results. | ||
| DELETED | · Those who voted when they were members, but resigned subsequently, remain eligible. Their votes will therefore be counted. · Those who resigned from the Labour Party, but voted subsequently, are not eligible. |
||
| DELETED | We are aware that there has been speculation as to the eligibility of those who have recently resigned from the Labour Party to participate in the current ballot. We hope the information below will reassure you as to the integrity of the process: | ||
| DELETED | For anyone wondering why the NEC results are taking a bit longer than expected, all candidates have been sent this email: | ||
| DELETED | @wildernessyrs Not until end of the afternoon | ||

| DELETED | @DanielEales @michaeljbawden If I'm elected I would be delighted to engage with both of you in a postive forward looking discussion about what a new or rebooted national organisation should look like. | ||
| DELETED | @DanielEales It's hardly "rushing" - it's already 4 academic terms since Jon's move. Abolishing the existing structure without having a replacement ready to start operating was irresponsible and destructive. It was about settling scores with people who had the temerity to oppose Corbynism. | ||
| DELETED | Buried in Jon Lansman's labourlist interview is a justification for his abolition of Labour Students. I like Jon but I can't forgive him this act of vindictive destructiveness that has left Labour without a student organisation in a year when students face massive challenges. | ||
| DELETED | @barleymow1 sure. akehurstluke@gmail.com | ||
| DELETED | @Chris1966 No offence taken, in an STV election we need all our 6 candidates to be getting some 1st prefs | ||

| DELETED | NEC election must be important, I just broke my lifelong ban on using emojis. 😀🚨 | ||
| DELETED | Getting the excuses in early, very much a la Trump. If I get elected to the NEC these guys won't be able to cope with the idea that it will be because party members like what I stand for or think I will do a good job, they will spout conspiracy theories about order of the ballot. https://t.co/QBqzMpC5Fq | ||

| DELETED | We've also got to win back Remainers in the Central Belt of Scotland- potentially 40 seats | ||

| DELETED | Feeling vindicated about my 7/2 bet on @StephenMorganMP winning... https://t.co/NDissVMJ3o | ||
| DELETED | It really is playing with fire to exclude strong local candidates in seats like Bassetlaw and Rother Valley. These are not safe Labour seats post-referendum. They are being heavily targeted by the Tories. They are not baubles to be dished out to leadership insiders. | ||
| DELETED | I've just signed a petition calling for full democratic selections in all Labour seats before the General Election. Please sign and share! https://t.co/mPPInaI7xx | ||
| DELETED | @mculbert76 I have no idea why he has his job title. It was ridiculous in 2015 and is ridiculous now. | ||
| DELETED | This isn't just the right thing to do, it's electorally best for Labour. If we fight a GE on single issue of Brexit we will lose. If a referendum resolves the Brexit issue and we can fight a GE on domestic issues we might win. https://t.co/y6WhA3FfmL | ||
| DELETED | @NeilOutOfTime @reecewhayes By the way I won over £900 by successfully betting on which individual seats Labour would gain in 2017 so my predictions weren't all inaccurate or pessimistic | ||

| DELETED | @WTarbiat @JT7062 @steamedhamms I don't think £25 fee and 48 hour window will put off all the Remainers | ||
| DELETED | @AntoineTinnion @SebDance @JulieOwenMoylan If an individual candidate says they support Remain, then they do. They are not robots controlled by party HQ. Manifestos do not determine how individual MEPs or MPs vote if they say they have a different position. | ||
| DELETED | But I understand why some members are so angry about the party's failure to clearly support a second referendum or Remain that they won't campaign for or vote Labour this time. You reap what you sow. | ||
| DELETED | @Chetkayable Odd response to a tweet about a second referendum on Brexit | ||
| DELETED | This says all nine CLP reps on the NEC voted against @TSSAunion proposal that should be a 2nd referendum in all circumstances. Members need to be reminded of this in 2020 NEC ballot. https://t.co/bhemPda6sD | ||
| DELETED | Petition: Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU. https://t.co/WfjDvPW4A6 | ||
| DELETED | @stephane_ulrich @EuanPhilipps It wouldn't cross my mind- despite being a passionate Remainer - to consider an MP's views on the EU as material to promoting them unless I was putting them into a brief directly related to Brexit | ||
| DELETED | Alarming coverage of Iranian proximity to Israel's northern border. Bizarre that Emily Thornberry condemned Israel for taking action against this threat: https://t.co/wcC9nHCPSW |
||
| DELETED | @fghays22 In which case the answer may be to revoke A50 and then have a second referendum. This is a bit too important to rush. | ||
| DELETED | @fghays22 I've never imagined that a second referendum could be held by 29 March. I always assumed it had to involve an extension to Article 50 and the EU has indicated it would be happy to extend to allow a referendum to take place. | ||
| DELETED | @fghays22 Why would a 2nd referendum not be feasible? | ||
| DELETED | @oddjob588 @MaGaTa76 @BBCPolitics @tom_watson No he has done interviews implying support for second referendum | ||
| DELETED | This is an unlikely scenario as half the shadow cabinet actively want a second referendum and the other half will do whatever Jeremy tells them to. https://t.co/yBvjCN8zNF | ||
| DELETED | @suey2y @JFr4ser @PolhomeEditor @malcpowers Why not? What would be stopping us from advocating Remain when that's what 3/4 of Labour members want? | ||
| DELETED | @djbeere @francesbarber13 Trots are mainly pro second referendum. | ||
| DELETED | @philbc3 @DThrumblestick Yes. I retweet every poll and on the Survation one I commented on Skwawkbox's misinterpretation of the second referendum numbers. | ||
| DELETED | Because they think Labour is in a holding pattern and hasn't yet declared it's final position on Brexit so are giving us the benefit of the doubt. The public who don't follow this closely assume Labour is pro Remain as it has been for 30 years. https://t.co/Yoq8sIlman | ||
| DELETED | @DominicTrounce No it says the worst outcome is if we don't. Every poll shows all Brexit choices damage Labour but second referendum is least damaging, just a couple of % | ||
| DELETED | @s8jep No I'm assuming a second referendum is a mechanism for getting Remain which is what I want. I don't care what deal Corbyn comes up with as I don't want to leave the EU. | ||
| DELETED | @MaraudingWinger @LordGammonB You guys started it with a 40 year campaign to overturn the outcome of the 1975 referendum - which was a lot clearer than the 2016 one. | ||
| DELETED | @PeterNimmo1 I'm an outspoken Remainer and advocate of a second referendum because that's the right thing for UK. As a Labour Party activist I can see a collateral benefit that backing a second referendum would be in the party's interests electorally and in avoiding losing MPs and members. | ||
| DELETED | Why aren't we calling for a General Election (to get a Labour government) AND a second referendum (to resolve the impasse on Brexit and hopefully stop Brexit) - the two are not mutually exclusive and this approach would be best for party unity. | ||
| DELETED | @LynVenables Yes but a) what if we can't get a GE, it seems more likely that we could muster a Commons majority for a second referendum than for a GE; b) what's our policy on Brexit in the manifesto if we do get a GE? | ||
| DELETED | @Stehughes1878 @AlanOlive1 We also need to take Remainers with us given the two groups are nearly same size. I accept it creates tactical dilemmas. | ||
| DELETED | @zen_mckenzie @UKLabour @ChukaUmunna Here's a scientific paper that says Labour voters were more likely to vote for Remain https://t.co/pwrTqlzxcK | ||
| DELETED | @BeavenLinus @zen_mckenzie Labour voters were 65% in favour of Remain https://t.co/o5IBRaB8aL | ||
| DELETED | @MPEllis_ @DPJHodges Because I disagree with it. Politics doesn't work on the basis of one-off irreversible decisions. If it did then we ought to have respected the outcome of the 1975 referendum and not held the 2016 one. | ||
| DELETED | @Calderbank @ianrobo1 @anthonyleahy @SpaJw But most people didn't realise that and assumed based on history that voting Labour was a pro Remain vote. | ||
| DELETED | @Calderbank @anthonyleahy @SpaJw No, but why do you assume pissed off Labour leavers would waste their votes on UKIP rather than sticking with Labour even if we upset them on Brexit? They all voted for us during decades when we were wildly pro EU. | ||
| DELETED | @Calderbank @anthonyleahy @SpaJw Sorry I don't understand? Who said anything about sticking with a Tory government? Let's resolve Brexit with a referendum and then have a General Election on all the other issues facing the country. | ||
| DELETED | @Calderbank @anthonyleahy @SpaJw NB Labour First doesn't have a collective position on this. I'm personally pro 2nd referendum but your allies on this issue include Spellar, Mann, Flint, Smeeth, De Piero, Snell, Austin - some of my favourite MPs | ||
| DELETED | @Calderbank @SpaJw Why not also use a referendum to check this is still what people want to do? | ||
| DELETED | @ijb19662 I'm presuming that is part of achieving either a second referendum or a renegotiated deal | ||
| DELETED | @HuwJonesLabour @LabourFirst @labour_first My personal position is strongly in favour of remain. Labour First includes people with all kinds of views on Brexit. I'm not into bullying MPs into voting in line with my views on Brexit. In practice I think the PLP will be united in opposing May's deal. | ||
