‘Journalist’ Assange has never leaked Russian wrongdoing? Doesn’t surprise me. Repellent as he maybe his incarceration is a grubby episode. Wish they’d stuck him on a plane to fuck off to a country of his choice.

Hides behind a photo of Klopp and his name…

Sad considering What Jurgen Klopp stands for, this guy supporting Assage has none of it.

[Tubby Isaacs]

What "subsidies"? On what basis would the return of them be demanded?

Fair enough to call for boycott of P&O.

[Crabcakes]

I assume he means furlough money. But then Jez never was a details man.

[Watchman]

Given the behaviours of the current government, I would follow the default that they (P&O)* would have received some public money, for whatever reason

* other “chums” are available

[davidjay]

Absolutely peak Jezza. Something MUST be done - but no idea how to do it.

[Tubby Isaacs]

The government running a ferry company sounds like a good way to lose a lot of money. I know it's ultimately owned by Dubai now, but they don't give a fuck. They can make stuff profitable by all sorts of strokes that a UK government would struggle to pull.

It's better in this situation to bring forward investment in the area being hit by job losses. And to improve the law generally, of course.

[Oboogie]

There's unrest amongst Stop The War, they want a united front, but not too united. They must ensure their demands cannot be supported by Keir Starmer.
Main targets for their protests about Ukraine? NATO and the British government, of course.

I'm sure the letter from STW is written by Corbyn, I can hear his voice when I read it.

Martin Forde’s report is now, apparently, all but ready to publish.
Prediction : The Trots will find something in Martin Forde’s report about which to get their collective knickers in a twist of outrage, or if they can’t, they’ll spin something that never actually happened but which they think should have been in the report. Sqealer Jones will whine vocally, and the story will make headlines for a day or so, but then descend fairly quickly into the realm of “so what?” for most sensible people, which is to say the voters we need to give us their votes. It may even do us quite a lot of good by way of demonstrating that the Trot wingnuts are now either well and truly out of the party, or harmlessly and properly marginalised, this time for good. Bring. It. On.

It'll be the start of the campaign to restore the whip to St. Jeremy.

[mattomac]

Weird thing is I thought the Forde report had more in it than what is being mentioned.

I’ll have a read put it to one side and leave Twitter for a few days.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Jez's last tweet on Ukraine was 12 days ago, and was criticizing the EU.

Who'd be behind a military incursion from Belarus, I wonder? "Caught up in the war in Ukraine", yeah.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Actually in fairness he sort of did Ukraine 4 days ago. Hypocrisy of our media not talking about other conflicts as much.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

That would be Palestine, then...

[Tubby Isaacs]

I think a few places are mentioned. Fair enough point. From somebody not trying to take the heat off Putin.

Do Palestinians get slaughtered by imperialists or "caught up in the war", in his eyes? Maybe the ones in Syria got "caught up in the war".

[Nigredo]

Be nice if the tens of thousands trying to flee what is basically now an attempt at genocide could be supported and guaranteed safety eh Jezza?

[davidjay]

Right side of history again.

[Tubby Isaacs]

NATO warmongering and rhetoric will be responsible.

What narrative does he have to justify this caveating? Perhaps his brother has proof George Soros set it up.

[Tubby Isaacs]

He's still trading on Iraq, which you'd think only he had opposed.
