Now, he is organising a Gaza Tribunal of his own. “We have on 4 and 5 of September, for two days in Church House in Westminster, an open public inquiry,” Corbyn says.

“It will be live on YouTube and lots of other platforms and channels, and that inquiry will be hearing voices from people in Gaza, in the West Bank, aid workers, journalists, lawyers, international legal experts.”

[Note to our Fedi friends in the UK - it would be great if someone could get this tribunal streamed via Peertube in some fashion.]

The new party was announced on 3 July, when MP Zarah Sultana left the Labour Party and said she would co-lead a different outfit with Corbyn.

That party doesn’t exist yet. It doesn’t even have a name. But it has already received more than 800,000 sign-ups.

Polling this week found that a third of 2024 Labour voters would consider voting for a Corbyn-Sultana-led party, as well as over a quarter of Labour members.

    Nah, you talk big but you can’t even state Corbyn’s idiotic position on the full scale invasion of Ukraine without looking it up first (if you actually knew, you would have brought it up because it makes a very specific reference for someone in the UK, it’s been parroted by other fake leftists too).

    I don’t need to do a web search, because I know Corbyn’s position:

    • He has worked with RT, a Russian propaganda service aimed at the west managed by russian intel services.
    • He routinely promotes russian propaganda narratives about NATO
    • His fake peacenik organization (he is the executive director who is responsible for such press releases) recognized russia as part of Ukraine.
    • He openly opposed weapons deliveries to Ukraine after the full scale in order to give russia an edge in the invasion.

    I don’t even need to do a web search for this, because this relatively common knowledge in Ukraine (among people who know who Corbyn is).

    But sure, Mr. Arcane2077, who doesn’t even speak Ukrainian or russian claims to be more knowledgeable than someone who lives in Ukraine and where collaboration with russians by scum such a Corbyn is widely reported.

    Own your ignorance my man, don’t keep digging into the hole of stupidity that characterizes your knowledge of the relevant issues.
