Labour MP Clive Lewis attended a demonstration in apparent defiance of the ban

The UK’s ruling Labour Party allegedly ordered its MPs not to attend anti-racist demonstrations on Wednesday.

According to journalist Owen Jones, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Chief Whip Alan Campbell made the order “via a virtual call” on Wednesday morning.

Jones is a former member of the party and was part of its left-wing faction before quitting because of Labour’s centrist turn under Keir Starmer.

      Keir Starmer the israeli plant who overthrew Jeremy Corbyn. Don’t agree with the initial commenter often but this time it’s facts. Keir Starmer is a Fascist.

            No one even mentioned Zionism or Israel…

              They asked for an explanation of Starmer being a fascist.

              Instating a literal coup of the UK to prevent Jeremy Corbyn from s acting against israel seems pretty fascist to me.

                  Everything is a conspiracy theory. Aipac ruling over American politics is totally made up as well they’re just some friendly folks who donate millions of dollars to polticians who just so happen to support israel.

          He blocks the weapons embargo on israel. He ousted Jeremy Corbyn with the most classic excuse used by Zionists.

            Jeremy Corbyn is far too extreme for main line politics. Labour were never going to win power with him as leader. Plus he’s stance on Brexit was selfish and absolutely unhelpful.

            I can see you support him but he really wasn’t good.

              Except Corbyn was already growing to a position where he would be able to gain power.

              Starmer can’t coup a left wing party while it has massive momentum and subsequently claim the centrist neoliberal Zionist fest is popular.

              Corbyn even won his own district without the branding Starmer stole from him.

              The UK is facing massive problems with housing, and a neoliberal who is in the pocket of all lobbies including the landlords is going to do absolutely nothing to fix it

              Starmer is aa “human rights lawyer” who prevents an arms embargo on a Genocide. You can’t make this up.

                The rest of your comment I’ll ignore in the basis that it’s meaningless. But this first line, wow, you can just say things that are clearly not true and think that doing so is a counterpoint.

                Look i can do it. “Dragons do exist and my evidence for that is that I say so. Ha, got you!” See it doesn’t work. You have to argue your case in this plain of reality and not in whatever elsewhere space you come from.
