UK Labour party 'ordered MPs not to join anti-racist protests' - eviltoast

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.

    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.
