I hadn't heard of Lord Alli until the recent donations controversy. But looking into his history - Labour peer since 1998 so not some Johnny-come-lately political opportunist, LGBT rights campaigner, HIV research patron, university chancellor - I'm wondering what's not to like?

- Meghan blocks immortality?
- Pro tip: It's still a pogrom even if you find that some Jewish people behaved badly the day before mobs chanting antisemitic slogans started attacking any Jews they could find in a city. Pogroms typically involved inciting people over an alleged incident. #AmsterdamPogrom
- Replying to @jodymcintyre_Perhaps you could suggest they get in touch with their MP. I'm sure she will be willing to help.
- Replying to @thecarolemalonePretty sure he was branding the non-decent, law breaking people as “far right thugs”, Carole. Thanks for making clear who you identify with, though.
- Replying to @leo_hutzThat doesn’t sound like a real conversation. Most likely an AI fake. But then you knew that when you posted it, didn’t you?
- Replying to @ChrisCorney1 @JournoStephen and @stephenpollardIt's not even a profession that Corbyn is criticising there. It's an economic system.
- Roger Waters claims a British MP who raised concerns about antisemitism in his shows is following orders from his "masters in the Foreign Office in Tel Aviv". If you're still denying Waters is antisemitic after this, well, f*** you, it's because you are an antisemite too.Replying to @habibi_ukThere was much more foul abuse of the Labour MP Christian Wakeford. Here’s why: “You are making s**t up because you’ve been told to by your masters in the Foreign Office in Tel Aviv. Because this hate is being organised from Israel.” More cheers. 4/5
00:00 - Do you know what happened during WW2?
- Replying to @Gabriel_Pogrund and @patrickkmaguireI believe it’s customary to use some sort of venue when holding a meeting.
- Replying to @andreajenkyns @cawleym1 and @metpoliceukTo see if you were as daft as everyone says.
- Replying to @naomirwolfImagine not being embarrassed by such a post.
- Replying to @JakeHepple1Let’s hope his wife is able to find a new partner who isn’t a far-right thug and would be a more responsible role model for the children.
- George Galloway has threatened to sue @hopenothate over a flyer distributed in #Rochdale. Leaving aside the claim about supporting dictators, is it true that “His Workers Party is full of antisemites, racists and conspiracy theorists”? Let’s look at its election candidates. 1/20
