You didn’t really expect this to be a video of Keir Starmer, did you?

The image above (sans speech bubble), showing 220 people queueing in sub-zero temperatures to enter a soup kitchen in Glasgow, has gone viral – and has been shared thousands of times.
Many have called it out as an indictment against the Tory government that has failed to tackle worsening poverty crisis.
But here’s the hidden point:
Posting on Facebook Graeme Weir compared it to “some Eastern European Country that’s been decimated by years of communist rule”.
Funny that – considering so many UK voters were practically ordered not to vote for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party in December 2019, for fear that he would create a Communist dystopia.
It seems that, in fact, Boris Johnson created that nightmare future himself – and actually put voters off supporting the man who could have prevented it.

It has been a couple of weeks since Jeremy Corbyn, Noam Chomsky, Yanis Varoufakis and others launched the Peace & Justice Project, so Mr Corbyn has kindly made a video to let us all know about developments since then.
It’s self-explanatory so take a look:
The project relies on people power – on members of the public getting involved and contributing to the process.

Have the news media given up on reporting court proceedings properly?
I lost when Rachel Riley applied to strike out my defence against her libel case and everybody thought it meant I had lost the whole case. I haven’t.
Now Jeremy Corbyn has lost a court application to make the Labour Party disclose documents that he said would show that Labour had gone back on an agreement to fully reinstate his suspended membership as a result of “political interference” and some media types are acting as though he has lost his case too. He hasn’t either!
According toThe Independent, Labour has attacked Corbyn for wasting “the court’s time and our members’ money”. Strangely, Riley’s supporters have been trying to stop people from supporting my CrowdJustice site with similar claims.
It is understood that Labour will also seek to recover its court costs from Mr Corbyn personally.
If the increasingly detestable Labour party wishes to try to force Jeremy Corbyn to pay costs, I stand ready and willing to contribute to a crowd-funder. This disgusting party needs to be taught a lesson about the word 'solidarity'.
Judge Lisa Sullivan made it clear that the case could continue without Labour documents being passed to Corbyn: “In terms of Mr Corbyn’s ability to properly plead his case, I do not accept that he would suffer significant prejudice without pre-action disclosure.”
So it’s clear the case will continue.
But look at The Independent‘s headline: Labour attacks Jeremy Corbyn for ‘wasting time and money’ after court defeat over suspension from party. Doesn’t that make it seem that he lost?
So, just on an anecdotal level, it seems clear that certain elements in the press have lost their impartiality altogether when it comes to reporting the courts.
Or perhaps, going back to a theme we’ve discussed recently, they’re just prejudiced when it comes to Corbyn and his supporters.

Jeremy Corbyn: he would be right to look askance at us all. A majority of people believed the lies about him published by the Tory-supporting media and voted a massive Tory majority into Parliament. Now more than 100,000 of us are dead as a result. He would have tackled Covid-19 differently – and some of our relatives might still be alive today.
Here is much of the problem with UK politics, rolled up in a single tweet:
*Jeremy Corbyn wears cardigan
UK Press:
THIS MAN IS A MONSTER!
*Boris Johnson kills 100,162 people
UK Press:
Aww, he sad. He done his best.
— Kerry-Anne Mendoza 🏳️🌈🏴 (@TheMendozaWoman) January 27, 2021
It’s applicable to any situation but very clear at the moment because Boris Johnson has failed so badly and 100,000 people are dead as a result.
Jeremy Corbyn, who was vilified by the press, would have acted differently. We know exactly how, because he told us. See for yourself:
Here’s what Corbyn would have done. At the time he said this he was slated by the MSM for calling the government complacent. He was told now isn’t the time for political point scoring. He was right & If he were PM many thousands would be alive today. pic.twitter.com/kiVh5ni02h
But the general public had been hoodwinked by the Tory press into thinking he was a menace.
And now?
This is still happening:
Corbyn: Lets nationalise the internet and have free broadband for everyone. Journalists : Stalin. Boris Johnson : I am sorry 100,000 people are dead. Journalists : you tried your best.
I'd like to hear from any of the blue-tick Corbyn-hate brigade if they genuinely and sincerely believe Johnson's grotesque carnage is better than a Corbyn-led government would have been.
Corbyn was right. Corbyn is right. Anyone who says he would have been worse than Johnson is welcome to borrow some of my medication.

This Writer is willing to wager that a lot of mainstream media hacks should be mainlining Ms Harrington’s medication.

What’s wrong with this situation: the former Tory health secretary is doing more to demand financial support for people, who can’t otherwise afford to self-isolate with Covid-19 symptoms, than Labour Party leader Keir Starmer.
Read this:
Where has “a new leadership” got Labour? Jeremy Hunt, yes that Jeremy Hunt is making the case for proper financial support for people to self isolate. Jeremy *****g Hunt arguing for protections for workers not the Labour Party! https://t.co/tkEPrkeQeg
The point is well made. Hunt has written a Twitter thread explaining the problem as he sees it, while Starmer has been sitting at home – self-isolating for a third time because he can afford it! – on his thumbs.
Here’s what Hunt said:
6.3 million have had their first jab, infections are down 22% (7 day avg) & hospital patients 4% below Jan 18 peak. So why should we be cautious? https://t.co/hpX1wFZ4IY
Whilst the new strains are unlikely to render the vaccine ineffective, they may reduce its efficiency at keeping people out of hospitals. Because viruses are good at mutating, sooner or later there may well be a strain that is fully immune to the vaccine (not necessarily soon).
Or in absolute numbers, if Cab Office survey is accurate & translated onto the latest T&T data, last week around 427,000 people who were asked to self isolate did not & 85,000 of them went to work. That’s a LOT of people spreading a dangerous infection. https://t.co/doj4GjFXNo
1. Guaranteeing salary backfill for those who lose wages as a result of self-isolating. Expensive…but loss of earnings seems to be the biggest cause of non-compliance and the overall cost is much cheaper than another lockdown.
It’s true. And we must remember that Jeremy Hunt was the Health Secretary at the time of Operation Cygnus, which demonstrated that the NHS would be overwhelmed if a pandemic infection happened – and he did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation.
So, while it is welcome that he is tinkering around the edges of it, we should remember that Hunt helped cause the wider problem in the first place.
Right?

Jeremy Corbyn: the evidence is mounting up in his favour.
A report by the Labour Party has made it clear beyond doubt that Keir Starmer and his (acting) party secretary, David Evans, had no reason to suspend the party membership of former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The suspension was attributed to words spoken by Corbyn after the Equality and Human Rights Commission published its report on allegations of anti-Semitism in Labour.
He said the claims had been blown up out of proportion by people who had political reasons for doing so.
Even EHRC guidance states that Corbyn had every right to say what he did but Starmer stuck to his pop-guns. Now we know he had no right to do so:
According to a section of the report from Labour’s Governance and Legal Unit, his statement “did not contain any overtly discriminatory language on the face of it”.
A panel of the party’s ruling National Executive Committee (NEC) reinstated Corbyn three weeks after his suspension but Starmer used his position as party leader to continue to exclude him from the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP).
This means Corbyn cannot stand for election as a Labour MP unless or until the suspension is lifted.
Corbyn’s lawyers say Starmer has acted in bad faith and have launched a High Court challenge.
The damning document, showing Starmer had no grounds on which to suspend Corbyn, is part of this action.
Labour isn’t co-operating (what a surprise). It is refusing to provide minutes of meetings where Corbyn’s suspension was discussed, claiming that there are no notes or minutes – and that no back room deal was struck over Corbyn’s future.
It’s an easy thing to say. They were internal meetings and there’s no way – that I can see – that anybody else can prove minutes were taken.
But it would be a huge dereliction of duty if they weren’t.
I’d like to hear from the attendees – particularly Trickett and McCluskey. Was somebody taking notes? If so, what happened to them?

Jeremy Corbyn: this is from when he announced the Project for Peace and Justice before Christmas. I could have waited for a newer pic but wanted to get the story out as soon as possible.
Legendary thinker Noam Chomsky headed the list of supporters launching the new Peace and Justice Project founded by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today (January 17).
The new organisation aims to bring people together – not just within the United Kingdom but internationally – to devise, and bring into being, radical plans to improve the lives of ordinary people who have been crushed by selfish rich people for far too long.
Speaking at the launch, Corbyn announced four plans, which This Writer put out on Twitter:
Four-part plan from #PeaceAndJusticeProject . First is "a green new deal" as we've already heard.
Second plan from #PeaceAndJusticeProject is: economic security. Projects for the future but asking supporters to link up locally to address current (Tory-created, dare I say?) problems together.
Third plan for #PeaceAndJusticeProject is: international justice. Opposing warmongers, stopping the arms traders from profiting from suffering. But also tackling Covid-19 related inequalities like vaccines not being available everywhere.
Fourth plan for #PeaceAndJusticeProject revolves around taking on the entrenched moguls like those in the mass media. As a social media journalist, I'm all for this.
Further details of all of these are available here, and the web page provides an opportunity to join each individual project and make a difference.

Jeremy Corbyn is a friend to Jewish people but right-wingers who publish fake news traduced him – made him look like the exact opposite. Sadly, too few readers fact-checked the false claims and his reputation suffered huge damage.
One would have thought an ethnic group that was once brutally attacked by propagandists would be immune to their influence; apparently not.
Right-wing newspapers intended for a UK Jewish readership are sporting headlines claiming that Jews in this country now feel safer, and that they have a future here, knowing that Jeremy Corbyn will not be prime minister.
What they aren’t saying is that this is because they have stopped filling their pages with anti-Corbyn propaganda – falsehoods that were designed to provoke fear in their fellow Jews.
Fake news.
And they’re still pushing it – it’s no coincidence that these headlines are appearing right after we learned Corbyn is launching a court action against the Labour Party over his suspension.
Those of us who know the facts of this matter have given them short shrift:
Of course, many of my fellow Jews *feel safer*
They are no longer subject to the vile anti-Corbyn propaganda of the Jewish Chronicle and most of the mainstream media including the BBC
While their newspapers threatened them with institutional anti-Semitism on a national level, if Jeremy Corbyn had actually become prime minister he would have removed prescription charges from the English NHS.
If you call that cruelty, there’s something wrong with you.
And if you support, read and believe the periodicals that put out this propaganda, you’re not only harming yourself but helping to harm those around you.

At long last, Jeremy Corbyn is doing what he should have done in 2016 – taking his critics in the Labour Party to court.
He will apply for disclosure of documents held by Labour in a hearing on Monday afternoon (January 18).
This could lead to a legal challenge against his suspension from the Parliamentary Labour Party, ordered by Keir Starmer in November.
Mr Corbyn was suspended by officials in October for claiming that the scale of anti-semitism in the party was “dramatically overstated for political reasons.”
Despite an NEC panel’s decision to readmit him [and] the Equality & Human Rights Commission’s warning against political interference in such cases … Sir Keir removed the whip.
The announcement has provoked considerable discussion on the Vox PoliticalFacebook page.
“He should have had Hodge in court over her slurs before she knew what had hit her,” said one commenter.
Another replied: “He was doing all he could to facilitate that “broad church” they constantly whined on about.
“However, I have no reason to see why he shouldn’t win the upcoming court case which I hope will achieve much in the middle to slightly longer term in our battle to reclaim the party for the socialists it was created for and not as a hiding place for desperate LibDems.”
Another commenter, discussing the launch of Ken Livingstone and Pam Bromley’s judicial review against the EHRC, added: “Things are going to go tits up for Starmer and Co, and it can’t come quick enough.”
