Yesterday thousands marched through London for peace in Gaza. Not once but twice toxic racist liar and Tory grifter @pritipatelmp.bsky.social told @bbclaurak.bsky.social they were hate marchers attacking Jews. As usual Zionist Kuntsberg didn't query her ridiculous claims or point out they were lies

The problem with every grassroots Left Wing party I've got involved with has been so obsessed with "building a base at local level" they will spend decades holding echo chamber meets and promoting small local stuff while the Far Right just walks in and take over on bigger issues.

This worked SO well for those who swallowed the endless optimism of Boris Johnson and the constant attacks on anybody who tried to point out reality as "talking the country down". Farage is playing the exact same game. It's bullshit!

Ed Milliband will undoubtedly be next, although he’s a much bigger fish so it will be harder to purge him. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
