'REINSTATE LOACH'

Hard left Labour MPs and peers have released a joint statement calling for the reinstatement of film director Ken Loach.  Loach revealed that he was expelled from the party over the weekend, having maintained links with groups that were proscribed last month.  The statement has been backed by 20 of the 35 members of the Socialist Campaign Group, plus five peers.


Loach has not made any further statements about his expulsion since Saturday, but pinned the following tweet to the top of his Twitter feed.


Loach also retweeted messages of support from Jeremy CorbynBeth Winter and Len McCluskey.

LOACH EXPELLED FROM LABOUR


Hard left film director Ken Loach has been expelled from Labour, having maintained links with one of the far left groups banned by Labour's NEC last month.  Labour Against the Witchhunt was formed in 2017 to contest allegations of anti-Semitism in the party and attracts support from expelled Labour members and prominent reds such as Alexei Sayle, Ken Livingstone and Chris Williamson.  The group is chaired by Jackie Walker and Tony Greenstein, both of whom were expelled from Labour for alleged anti-Semitic remarks.

Loach broadcast news of his expulsion to his 82,000 followers on Twitter...


Loach went on to retweet messages of support from members of Labour's Socialist Campaign Group, including John McDonnell, Zarah Sultana, Jon Trickett and Ian Byrne.  Also chipping in were Jeremy Corbyn's youngest son and the Beeb's favourite European leftist Yanis Varoufakis, the man billed as an 'economist', but who lasted less than nine months as Greek finance minister.



Surely Yanis wouldn't have misspelt Sir Keir's name on purpose?

It remains to be seen where Loach ends up next on his political meandering across the left, having previously been involved in Respect and Left Unity.  Will George Galloway be in touch?

#RESIGNFORCHRIS

Yes, this is actually trending on Twitter right now.  It appears that some mischief makers have taken advantage of Chris Williamson's plea for help in fighting for his Labour membership.  The suspended MP claims that he is being lined up for expulsion and says "legal action against the party machine is underway".  The obligatory crowdfunder is "coming soon".  Isn't it just amazing how quickly wealthy socialists start begging for other people's money when there is a lost cause to fight?

Chris's plea for solidarity has led to so much ridicule that the hashtag #ResignForChris is now trending.  One of the first to mock him was one of his own Parliamentary colleagues, Labour MP Neil Coyle.  Coyle suggested that Williamson should "get in the sea" after which a spat began (see below).


The handbags at dawn ended with Coyle blocking Williamson's account.  Williamson screencapped Coyle's block calling it "tragic".  Is that so Chris?  You were one of the first MPs to block our Twitter account.  Now that's tragic sunshine.

Another Labour MP also joined in the condemnation of Chris the Shit.  Rachel Reeves tweeted her disgust and said that he was "no colleague of mine".  It seems that poor Chris is about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit on the Common's benches, but alas he is getting plenty of support from outside the Parliamentary party.  The Jew-baiting hard left just adore him and he is getting vocal support from commie media outlets such as Novara Media and the Canary, plus a handful of celebrities including film director Ken Loach.

However, support for Williamson has been somewhat undermined and overshadowed by the hilarious hashtag.  It's not difficult to spot the mischief that's been carried out.  The same picture of a cut up Labour membership card has been tweeted countless times by different people all claiming to have genuinely resigned in disgust.  There will almost certainly be some Labour activists and members who'll have fallen for it, but most have cottoned on quickly and are trying desperately to rumble the plotters and disrupt their antics by getting #JoinForChris trending.  Here's a quick selection featuring the #ResignForChris hashtag...


PS.  If you go on Twitter today don't forget to use the hash #ResignForChris and spread the word!
