The tweet at the bottom of this post is about as Kafka-esque as it gets

To apply the same logic, Corbyn could now be accused of being a paedophile, and if he says he's not, well that's apparently proof that he is

A small detail largely missed out on today was that the EHRC report did NOT find that Labour was institutionally anti-Semitic

Which must be quite the disappointment for those who pushed the smear campaign, hence the search for new spin

The below tweet also deliberately omits that nobody ever said there isn't anti-Semitism in Labour, least of all Jeremy Corbyn

Andrew Feinstein's interview on C4 News is worth watching

What Corbyn said today was perfectly legitimate and deemed so by the recommendations of the EHRC report itself


One well-placed Labour party insider on Jeremy Corbyn's response to the EHRC report: "The key thing, of course, is that his denial of the antisemitism is a form of antisemitism in itself."

Who are the far left? I keep hearing this term being bandied around especially in the UK and US. 
Joe Biden is apparently far left according to some of the wingnuts in the states.

Ireland is in the grip of communist rule if you were to believe a lot of people online

Europe has a far left. Its not commonplace. But it exists. Generally hides behind terms like "democratic socialist" while every part of the platform will be state based. Often very contradictory about the type of popular uprising they like, and inconsistent on foreign affairs.. Loaded with populist rhetoric. Light on solutions. Could end every policy proposal with the refrain of "vote "xyz" for SU President".

Social media isn't influential in politics?

Of course it's influential

The slight problem is that your previous message was quite clearly about people involved in running in actual electoral politics and not about social media

No, it was clearly about social media. I literally said "social media".

Most of these people don't want to get involved in electoral politics in any serious sense.
