My thoughts for @NewStatesman on the Conservatives' abandonment of fiscal responsibility. (I got rather cross about recent events so this gets a bit punchy.) https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2022/09/conservatives-lost-fantasy-world-danger-country

@stellacreasy Now you know what it must have felt like for Jeremy Corbyn to have been publicly smeared as a racist, antisemitic bigot for the past five years, all without evidence. His only crime was wanting the most vulnerable in society to have the same opportunities as the most privileged.

@jessicaelgot “Jessica, it’s Keir Starmer here. Look, foreign media have leaked reports that show the extent of the racism, bullying, misogyny, and petty factionalism that our party is built on. Can you pump out a few propaganda stories about how Labour is actually really good? Cheers, pet.”

@pavsmith @embedded_iot @Normanjam671 @KevinPascoe @TWT_NOW Do keep up. The Forde Report established that there was an actual conspiracy to lose the 2017 election by the people who openly told us that a Corbyn win would be a disaster.
You can no longer use the phrase "conspiracy theory" to denigrate what happened.
