Don’t do it. Khan joined US embassy front group British-American Project (BAP) in 2008. BAP was set up in 1980s to cultivate Labour left away from anti-imperialist positions. It’s been funded by BAE, Monsanto, BP. Paul Wolfowitz sat on its advisory board. Khan is compromised.
Forgive my cynicism. Here’s a guy who’s voted for every vile Tory policy but wants to keep his job as an MP. He can happily jump straight into bed with a Labour Party that is virtually indistinguishable from the Tories and no one in the Westminster Bubble bats an eyelid…
Still founded it didn’t you? God that must have been embarrassing. Claiming you weren’t founding some far-right conspiracy theory channel and then… that’s exactly what you did either out of ignorance or conviction before shitting yourself at the negative reaction.

Retweeting the ‘director of net zero’. 😂 what a ‘serious’ journalist. Or an old right-wing fart who farts out disinformation.

Jones has a telling relationship with Scottish independence. When the independence movement was big, he polemicised against it. Only when it manifested a centrist, establishment 'progressivism' was it celebrated as an alternative to the Tories.
It's unfortunate (but symptomatic of current social media) that someone with 1.2m followers has turned to making stuff up. The Met Office forecast for April says no such thing, and actually explicitly references weather patterns which "limit the likelihood of warm conditions".

A reminder that in 2019, the Guardian uncritically quoted Gideon Falter calling Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite, as part of their efforts to destroy Corbynism. 4 years on and he’s no longer useful to them so they’re willing to point what he’s actually about.
Yeah a lot of music made since roughly 2006/7 or so goes through me without touching the sides too but I suspect this is probably because I’m in my mid-forties, and not because of the tunes.
Nice to have it spelled out that even Rayner's extremely meagre extension of workers' rights is Not Allowed, and that Labour will collude with the press to get rid of anybody who doesn't do exactly what big business tells them to do.
The campaign of 'solidarity' with Ukraine amounts to essentially two activities: 1) cheering from the sidelines as your rightwing government sends arms and 2) denouncing, in increasingly shrill tones, anyone who asks questions.
This is precisely why Finkelstein's condescending tirade went down so poorly with the students. Yes I know a lot of people think he's great, but Palestinians have long been tired of his insistence on dictating to us. If you're about to lecture me too, don't waste your time.
He actually said it on 3 separate occasions, on one he was asked to clarify it and repeated himself. Two shadow ministers also repeated the same line. Nothing to do with Ferrari really. A month later he explained the LBC clip, but not the others.
It is significant that this - by liberal icon Naomi Klein - has just been published in the house journal of liberal imperialism. There is no way back now.
Ignoring the fact this is Paul Mason having a Normal One for a minute, my entire adult life has been filled with people banging the war drum making excuses for why we can't give peace a chance, and every time they get their way. The result? A more unsafe and destabilised world.
For those who’ve never been to England, this is the face every centrist makes as they wait for you to finish your boring point about the British state murdering of a million Iraqis, to respond with: “but Tony Blair won 3 elections”

@OwenJones84 @LonGreenParty Hi Owen. How do you reconcile voting for Khan with your 'red line', which you said was 'support for war crimes and the mass slaughter of civilians'. Khan voted to bomb Iraq in 2014, which led to 'war crimes and the mass slaughter of civilians': amnesty.org/en/documents/m…
@kennardmatt The day after the 2019 GE Khan said that the British people had made the right choice. He’ll never get my vote.
Don’t do it. Khan joined US embassy front group British-American Project (BAP) in 2008. BAP was set up in 1980s to cultivate Labour left away from anti-imperialist positions. It’s been funded by BAE, Monsanto, BP. Paul Wolfowitz sat on its advisory board. Khan is compromised.
Forgive my cynicism. Here’s a guy who’s voted for every vile Tory policy but wants to keep his job as an MP. He can happily jump straight into bed with a Labour Party that is virtually indistinguishable from the Tories and no one in the Westminster Bubble bats an eyelid…
@afneil My outlook was made during a very wet rainy March following an equally wet Feb, expecting that April (as it generally does) would contain at least one 4-5 day early heatwave. An odds game for sure but a forecast is a forecast (esp. long term). FYI record heat in parts of Europe.
Jones has a telling relationship with Scottish independence. When the independence movement was big, he polemicised against it. Only when it manifested a centrist, establishment 'progressivism' was it celebrated as an alternative to the Tories.
🗣'First Minister Humza Yousaf has left the Greens – and indeed the more progressive wing of the independence movement – feeling shocked and betrayed, and it is easy to see why.' ✍️@OwenJones84 on how all the wrong people are cheering with the SNP in crisis
It's unfortunate (but symptomatic of current social media) that someone with 1.2m followers has turned to making stuff up. The Met Office forecast for April says no such thing, and actually explicitly references weather patterns which "limit the likelihood of warm conditions".
The Met Office in general and a meteorologist called Jim Dale in particular forecast we’d be in for a sweltering April in UK. Could they now tell us what went wrong?

A reminder that in 2019, the Guardian uncritically quoted Gideon Falter calling Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite, as part of their efforts to destroy Corbynism. 4 years on and he’s no longer useful to them so they’re willing to point what he’s actually about.
Various public figures are now explicitly calling Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite. And I guess they're positively inviting him to sue, because they know a libel case over whether he is or not looks terrible for him, and Labour in general: theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Yeah a lot of music made since roughly 2006/7 or so goes through me without touching the sides too but I suspect this is probably because I’m in my mid-forties, and not because of the tunes.
Nice to have it spelled out that even Rayner's extremely meagre extension of workers' rights is Not Allowed, and that Labour will collude with the press to get rid of anybody who doesn't do exactly what big business tells them to do.
The campaign of 'solidarity' with Ukraine amounts to essentially two activities: 1) cheering from the sidelines as your rightwing government sends arms and 2) denouncing, in increasingly shrill tones, anyone who asks questions.
Jeremy Corbyn’s call for ‘peace’ plays into the hands of anti-western dictators | Letter theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
This is precisely why Finkelstein's condescending tirade went down so poorly with the students. Yes I know a lot of people think he's great, but Palestinians have long been tired of his insistence on dictating to us. If you're about to lecture me too, don't waste your time.
Norm Finkelstein addresses Columbia students. Doesn't give a barn-burning speech. Instead, soberly lectures on the need for messages to resonate, now is the time to persuade 80% of Americans, and criticizes activists for extremist ambiguous slogans. youtube.com/watch?v=3qnU6c…
He actually said it on 3 separate occasions, on one he was asked to clarify it and repeated himself. Two shadow ministers also repeated the same line. Nothing to do with Ferrari really. A month later he explained the LBC clip, but not the others.
@GeorgeAylett @toots2uk @PushTheSutton He didn't say 'Israel had the right to cut off water and electricity', though. He said 'Israel has that right' - and Starmer quickly argued that he was repeating what he was saying prior to Ferrari's question. Again context is everything.
It is significant that this - by liberal icon Naomi Klein - has just been published in the house journal of liberal imperialism. There is no way back now.
Ignoring the fact this is Paul Mason having a Normal One for a minute, my entire adult life has been filled with people banging the war drum making excuses for why we can't give peace a chance, and every time they get their way. The result? A more unsafe and destabilised world.

Loving the Guardian's small print. In the paper, the last sentence before the page-turn is "However, the plans do not include nationalisation".
Does anyone believe a word of this? They’re not even promising it until after another election in 5 years time, which they’ll probably lose. Most Starmer pledges don’t last a week. This is pure bullshit…
