Mini thread on Labour's latest Brexit nonsense 👇
Spot the difference:

27th March: "Does it deliver the "exact same benefits" as we currently have as members of the SM and CU?"

5th June: “Labour will only accept a Brexit deal that delivers the benefits of the single market and protects jobs and living standards.”
Yes. That's right. The words "exact" and "same" have gone. Why? Because as I have argued previously, the six tests were always a lie. Labour committed themselves to Brexit while pretending they could maintain our current benefits.

The phrase "exact same benefits" was one David Davies promised. He later backtracked from this, arguing it was merely a negotiating objective to aspire to. Inevitably, Labour have followed suit.

Brexit has truly exposed the hypocrisy and incompetence of our politicians.
Oh, and as it's now customary for me...

I'm going to retweet, with screenshots, the anti Semitic responses to Luciana Berger's tweet.
This is anti Semitism.

To everyone wondering why Corbyn wouldn't answer the question as to whether the UK would be better off outside the EU...

He has answered it already.

This is a great insight into Corbyn's longstanding relationship with and acting as an apologist for extremists.

There is one part of it I wish to go into more detail about: Iran's record on human rights.

Corbyn gave a short talk about Iran at an event in 2014 where he was effusive in his praise for the regime, referring to “the inclusivity, the tolerance and the acceptance of other faiths, other traditions and other ethnic groupings within Iran…”

2/

Iran's largest religious minority are Baha'is, and they number around 300,000. Baha'is have been persecuted horrifically in Iran since the inception of the faith in 1844, with estimates of around 20,000 being systematically slaughtered in the 19th century alone.

What if... Corbyn knew exactly who Salah Khalaf was but took the view that he was some kind of Middle Eastern Nelson Mandela - a former terrorist turned political reformer?

1/
There are some clues that Corbyn a) knew who Khalaf was and b) respected him in the recent interviews he gave.

(HT @make_trouble)

2/
That would explain why he laid the wreath on his grave and why he refuses to apologise: he is overlooking or downplaying Khalaf's role in multiple terrorist attacks because the man later advocated for the recognition of Israel and a two-state solution.

So it's #cemeterygate day 3 (or 4, 5, I've lost count). Yesterday Corbyn confirmed he had indeed laid a wreath in the cemetery (and not at the monument specifically dedicated to the 1985 Israel airstrike victims) but that he had done so to promote peace.

Labour said this:

1/
The arguments now being presented by some Corbyn supporters are as follows:

a) that the actual perpetrators of the Munich atrocity were not buried in the cemetery
b) that the men who are buried there weren't in Black September or weren't important figures

Let's check.

2/
Point A is undoubtedly true. The five terrorists killed at the scene were buried in Libya. The others were captured at the scene. Evolvepolitics, a pro Corbyn site, casts further doubt that the men in the cemetery were responsible for Munich.

So I spent yesterday writing the thread I am retweeting here. My purpose was to prove Corbyn was present at the graves of the Black September terrorists which he admitted while I was halfway recounting the evidence!

1/
As time went on, I discovered some nuances and details that enable me to write a brief account here of what actually happened on that day in October 2014, and why.

2/
Having studied the multiple albums on the Palestinian Embassy in Tunisia facebook page, as well as other on other websites, it is possible to build up a picture of the typical visitor itinerary. It goes something like this...
