Gratifying to see the Labour Together story finally cutting through. Now we need a full inquiry.

Where is the COBRA meeting, @Keir_Starmer?

CALL FOR EVIDENCE: THE LABOUR TOGETHER PARLIAMENT Please share widely and help us expose the hyper-factional remaking of the Parliamentary Labour Party by the Labour Together/Morgan McSweeney project. Submissions to be made to research@shadowworldinvestigations.org Shadow World Investigations (SWI) and Paul Holden - author of The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and the Crisis of British Democracy – are today announcing a new investigative project about the transformation of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) under the Labour Together Project. This long-germinating project is soliciting evidence about how Labour Party processes were used (and abused) to manipulate the selection of Labour MP candidates who now make up the majority of the PLP. Sir Keir Starmer was the frontman for a scandalous political project that spent the best part of a decade remaking the Labour Party along rigidly factional and exclusionary lines. The most consequential transformation was of the Parliamentary Labour Party. Two thirds of the Labour MPs currently sitting in the House of Commons were selected through a process tightly controlled by Morgan McSweeney and his allies, allegedly with direct (albeit informal) input from Peter Mandelson. Labour Together, and its key donors, then spent over £2 million on getting this intake of MPs elected. The selection process that McSweeney oversaw was beset by allegations of misconduct and irregularities so widespread that veteran journalist Michael Crick warned of potential ‘corruption’. One MP selection has resulted in criminal charges being filed against Labour officials. These are the MPs that not just determine the future of the country but will play a key role in either making or breaking the political fortunes of whoever next succeeds Starmer. In a follow up to The Fraud, SWI, Paul Holden and Jessica Murray will be embarking upon ‘The Labour Together Parliament’ project to examine the legitimacy of the process that resulted in the current Parliament, upon which any Labour government will rest. What we need as a first step is information. We would like evidence of any wrongdoing or stitch-ups during the selection process. We would like to build a collection of evidence about the ways in which bureaucrats forced through or manipulated the selection process, including in the finalisation of longlists and shortlists, and, where it happened, the decision being removed from local democratic decision making altogether. We are particularly interested in the vote tallies from every Labour candidate selection between 2022 and 2024. These have not been routinely published. We are particularly interested in tallies that distinguish between postal/online/and in-person votes. These different vote tallies would have been provided to losing candidates. Sometimes they were only read out in selection meetings. We are not only looking for results that seem ‘dodgy’ – but all vote tallies, including those that are not in the least suspicious. This will allow us to build a holistic database and rigorously test different hypotheses. We would also like tallies from candidate selections in seats that weren’t Labour targets and didn’t result in any MP. Ideally, it would be great if we could be provided with contemporaneous evidence of these vote tallies – such as a screenshot of a message or email relaying the result. We would also be interested in narrowing down which CLPs used Anonyvoter for MP selection, even if the vote tallies are not available. Please send any information you think is relevant to the selection of the current PLP toresearch@shadowworldinvestigations.org. And please share this call for evidence widely!

"Never again" they said, as they sat back and demanded no one interrupt while it happened again.

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti. Imprisoned for 25 years. An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial. Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me." Free Marwan. freemarwan.org/

BREAKING: Israel has explained it had no choice but to kill six paramedics in a double-tap in Lebanon after receiving intelligence that they were in fact paramedics

The single dumbest conspiracy theory in the entire world is that every major humanitarian institution on earth is conspiring to falsely frame Israel for the crime of genocide. And yet believing this bat shit insane conspiracy theory is the only way to think it’s not a genocide. There is no other way to claim that there is no genocide happening in Gaza without treating this self-evidently ridiculous theory as true. In order to believe that there is no genocide in Gaza, you need to accept it as a given that the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory is conspiring to frame Israel for this crime. You also need to believe that the International Association of Genocide Scholars is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, another Israeli organization, is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that Amnesty International is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that Doctors Without Borders are in on the conspiracy. You also need to accept that Human Rights Watch are in on the conspiracy. You also need to accept that the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights is in on the conspiracy. You also need to accept that the International Federation for Human Rights is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe that the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is in on the conspiracy. You also need to believe the conspiracy is so widespread and pervasive that there exists not a single major human rights group which holds that Israel is NOT committing genocide in Gaza. You need to believe this conspiracy goes all the way to the top. Toward what end are all these institutions conspiring to deceive the world into thinking that the innocent, virtuous state of Israel is guilty of these heinous crimes? Well, that’s where the “theory” part of conspiracy theory comes in. You need to have some reason why all these groups would be working together to trick everyone into thinking Israel is committing genocide. “Cui bono?”, as they say in conspiracy circles. If you press the average Israel defender to explain why all these institutions would be lying about Israel’s actions in Gaza, you will eventually get them to admit that their theory is that all these institutions secretly hate Jews. That it’s a giant antisemitic conspiracy designed to discredit the Israeli state and make Jewish people feel sad. I defy you to find me a dumber conspiracy theory than this. There’s nothing that can possibly compete. QAnon. Flat earth. Reptilians. They all seem fairly reasonable in comparison to this demented nonsense. They’re certainly a lot less harmful. They’re a lot less harmful because they’re not being used to justify an ongoing genocide, and because they’re not being promoted by the most powerful people in the world. All the major western powers who’ve refused to acknowledge that we’re looking at a genocide in Gaza subscribe to the dumb conspiracy theory in question. All the mass media institutions who frame genocide as an unfounded accusation rather than an established fact verified by the overwhelming consensus of the world’s relevant experts necessarily subscribe to the world’s dumbest conspiracy theory as well. It’s the dumbest conspiracy theory in the world, but it’s also the mainstream narrative. It’s what our governments and our media tell us is reality. They’re a bunch of tinfoil hat-wearing crackpots, and they rule the world. The western empire is the craziest, most murderous, most deceitful, and most dangerous power structure on earth, and it is only getting more so. Which is why the narratives we’re being asked to believe are getting dumber and dumber by the year.

It's extraordinary because when a Latin American country has a left wing government, the western media holds mass protest up as proof of their illegitimacy, but when it's happening under a neoliberal government, it's completely ignored x.com/bruegels_muse/status/2…

During Evo Morales' govt (2006-2019) Bolivia's GDP tripled and poverty was cut in half. It was the fastest growing economy in region for most of that period. People are protesting because they know what a succesful socialist market economy looks like vs. Neoliberal failure now.

We should all be out there confronting the ruling class & its corruption just like the workers in Bolivia are doing right now.

There's nothing more undignified than buying into the US war propaganda about Cuba. I see people show up in my replies arguing that Cuba is actually a real threat to the United States and it feels like they're showing me videos of themselves eating feces. It's so self-debasing.

I utterly reject the premise that criticising Israel delegitimises you as a political actor. The idea that you cannot participate in politics, that you cannot stand for parliament, because you made an accusation against a genocidal rogue state is ludicrous. councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-…

BREAKING: The US has confirmed Cuba is just two weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb 👀
