He was targeted and kicked out by the neolibs because they were terrified of him leading Labour to victory, buddy. “Overt and unrestrained antisemitism”? You are clearly a troll. Starmer kicked MPs out of Labour for showing up with Leftist movie director Ken Laoch. It’s ridiculous. Starmer’s anti-Leftist Labour will drive people to right-wing populists, just like Macron in France.
Fuck Corbyn? Dude’s a hero and exactly what’s needed. Peddle your trash elsewhere
Edit: Adding this link from an actual Leftist publication. Taking him down was a hatchet job pure and simple. Starmer is the devil and his only job is to keep any significant change to the economic order from occurring.

"The report found that Labour’s processes for handling antisemitism complaints were lacking. Its structures were too weak, they were subject to political pressures, under-resourced, and lacked proper guidance. Its staff had not had access to appropriate training. The most damning finding — of harassment — related to two cases where representatives of the party, former mayor Ken Livingstone and a Lancashire councillor, had made antisemitic comments. The report criticized the Corbyn leadership for its lack of effectiveness in dealing with these matters, but it did not make sweeping claims about their complicity in antisemitism.
"Jeremy Corbyn’s response to the report was equally sober. He acknowledged the report’s criticisms, encouraged the swift implementation of its findings, and offered an apology to Jewish members whose complaints had been mishandled. “Jewish members of our party and the wider community were right to expect us to deal with it,” he said, “and I regret that it took longer to deliver that change than it should.”
“As one would expect, he also defended his record. Many of the processes criticized, Corbyn pointed out, predated his leadership — something which the report itself acknowledges — and were replaced by more robust procedures after 2018. He didn’t accept all of its findings, but that is hardly a surprise for a critical report running to 129 pages that dealt with such a controversial topic.”
I’m all for it and hopeful. For the first time I’m beginning to feel that there’s a real chance that even the US could move towards a General Strike before too long in response to how drastically conditions are collapsing across the board.

I’ve been reading such a long list of rave reviews from authors like Kazuo Ishiguro and Alan Moore and publications like the LA Review of Books as well as hearing the same from close friends that I finally bumped this book to the top of my backlog stack.
It’s a horror book set in the early '80s in Argentina, weaving the kind of mystical conspiracy of Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum or Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas and Ninth Gate novels over and through the very real state terrorism of the Argentinian Junta’s Dirty War. I’m only about 75 pages into the 600 or so, and the slow-burn opening is just now starting to unfold into something more overtly disturbing, but the deceptively simple/basic prose creates a remarkably sophisticated and subtle story that is creeping into me like magic. Disturbing magic, lol.
Highly recommend.
That’s hot. Also I hadn’t realized Dylan Dog was still going. 367, wow. I feel like rewatching Cemetary Man.
As long as the Democratic Party is run by the same neoliberal establishment there will be a place for grotesque sociopaths like her and Terry McAuliffe. Thank you for remembering that she played a key part in stealing the 2016 primary from Sanders as laid out in “the emails!!!” that everyone likes to pretend didn’t contain anything horrible.

So I went directly from this video you linked to see about buying myself an OP-1 because it seems so brilliant and discovered that it’s $2000 😂
New Scientist is the name of the excellent publication that Tom Gault’s awesome comic appears in.

New Scientist is not the name of the comic. @NewScientist is not the comic strip itself but the publication as a whole.
