Attached: 1 image #GE2024 What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry. #UKPolitics EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.

Labour has decided to start their campaign with a bang, pruning women of colour and left wingers from the ballot due to reasons such as liking tweets sharing Jon Stewart videos. At the end of the day it boils down to support for Palestine.

Looks like Labour is doing what they can to make sure UK politics remains completely fucked even after the end of the Tory rule.

    Corby’s biggest weakness is that he was too nice, when he should have been making Stalin look like a libdem

      He didn’t need to do anything other than push open selection. The PLP was the powerbase of the right wing. It could have neutralised that imbalance rapidly.
