Chris Williamson: If what @Siobhain_Mc…

If what @Siobhain_Mc says in this short clip was true we would've had a Labour govt since 2017. ▪︎ Our energy and water bills would be considerably lower because the utilities would've been nationalised. ▪︎ Higher education would be free because tuition fees would've been abolished. ▪︎ Train fares would be lower because the railways would've been nationalised and the rolling stock would've been updated. ▪︎ NHS waiting times would've plummeted because the privatising spivs would've been kick out of our NHS. ▪︎ We'd now have a free social care service. ▪︎ The housing crisis would've been eliminated because there would have been a renaissance in council housing. What Siobhain conveniently forgets to mention is that she actively worked against Jeremy

Chris Williamson: Sir @Keir_Starmer…

Sir @Keir_Starmer 's Labour Party is desperate. Here's @SteveReedMP , one Starmer's key lieutenants, resorting to bogus anti-Semitism smears against @TheGreenParty activists. The same smears that were used to destroy Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. But it won't work this time and it won't save Labour from the electoral massacre that they're going to suffer in next month's local elections. In addition to Steve's obvious desperation, there are some other factors that put his bogus anti-Semitism allegations into context. ▪︎ Steve is a supporter of Israel. ▪︎ Steve has participated in @_LFI delegations to Israel. ▪︎ Steve is on record saying he has a "longstanding commitment to Labour Friends of Israel". ▪︎ Steve has received donations from pro-Israel lobbyists.

Chris Williamson: I saw this message from an Aussie…

I saw this message from an Aussie telling some home truths to @realDonaldTrump following his rant about NATO not being there to help the US with it's illegal aggression against Iran... "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. "Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. "And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? "Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. "So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run is your mouth."
