I've been working on this for quite a while, and am really happy to finally have it out - it's quite long but hopefully comrades find it useful.

I’ll mourn whoever I want dickhead. On some levels this is just a standard reactionary statement but there’s also something deeply authoritarian about this demand to mourn who the state wants & not mourn those it forbids you from mourning.

Obviously the Sun lies outrageously and racistly all the time & doesn’t have its reputation harmed by doing so because that’s what one expects, but @simonmontefiore thinks of himself as a fairly serious historian (& some agree), yet…

Some politics actually requires a bit of solemnity, and migrant deaths in the Channel are definitely a case of that.

Seems the sort of question that in a democratic society ought to be answered. Kind of important for people to know in my view.

Even if the most lurid claims about the Nova Festival were true, they wouldn’t justify genocide. The thing with genocide is nothing justifies it.

For the last year, I’ve been thinking about the final passage of Berger’s “Photographs of Agony” almost every day.

If caring about children in Gaza is 2019 conference, I'm proud to have been involved in Labour in 2019 and to absolutely despise them now.

“Even the Nazis didn’t say ‘death to the Jews’.” Fuck me. The stupidity, dishonesty and moral horrors that are required at this point to defend the indefensible are astonishing: & it’s a sign they’re losing, they have no persuasive capacity left.

"I was going to say that they sometimes seem to have more in common with the Nuremburg rally, but even the Nazis didn’t say 'death to the Jews.'" Andrew Neil rips into Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set. #TimesRadio | @afneil

Would be fascinated to know @simonmontefiore what changed between you tweeting this obvious nonsense out and deleting it.
