1. A little story for #SocialistSunday. In 2015, Portugal had a general election. The party with the largest number of elected officials and, thus, under their electoral system, would form the government was the Socialist Party headed up by António Luís Santos da Costa.
2. The EU weren't happy about this at all. Costa was elected on an anti-EU ticket, Portugal's finances were in total disarray after years of austerity, and they were so terrified of a Socialist government that they tried to stop him becoming PM: telegraph.co.uk/finance/econom…
3. Eventually, though, the right-wing government only lasted a fortnight. express.co.uk/news/world/618…
4. And the doom-mongers were wrong. Costa's anti-austerity policies have caused a boom in the Portugese economy. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
5. Everyone, like me, who is sick of economic illiterates shouting "VENEZUELA" at us every time democratic socialism is mentioned needs to remind them that anti-austerity is working, within the EU.
6. Jeremy Corbyn has been working with left-wing anti-austerity parties in Europe since early 2016, with the view to forming an alliance that challenges the EU mantra of market liberalisation (privatisation) independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
7. Pedro Sanchez is now Socialist PM of Spain. In Greece we have Alexis Tsipras. In Portugal we have Antonio Costa. Imagine what could be achieved if we also had Corbyn as PM in the UK. #RemainAndReform

@Femi_Sorry @BarryGardiner No. I told you why, on the day all your Tory Rebel heroes stabbed you in the back. You are so damned arrogant, Femi, to assume you have all the answers. If the Tories won't even support their own motion, how in hell do you think they will support a People's Vote? 1/
@Femi_Sorry @BarryGardiner 2/ And even if they did, what do you think Remaining would be like if the Tories were still running the shop til 2022? You might, like me, come from a cushy background, so it won't affect your life. Meanwhile 20% of the population is living in poverty while we are still in the EU
@Femi_Sorry @BarryGardiner 3/ The EU has done nothing to stop oligarchs asset-stripping our country and impoverishing our citizens. It will do nothing to stop them continuing to do so, either. There's only one criminally selfish political careerist I can see in this conversation. And that's you.

@davidschneider I'm going to say something you won't like, but someone needs to say it. I am a 56 yr old professional woman who has fought racism all her adult life. And the abuse I and thousands like me have had, just for being Labour members, has been obscene. 1/
@davidschneider 2/ I've had someone email my workplace saying they should think about employing me because I am a "supporter of the antisemite Ken Livingstone" (which I'm not, now). I have seen every effort I have made to try and reason and build bridges thrown back in my face.
@davidschneider 3/ Day after day there is a barrage of lies and half-truths spun to make us all out to be raging antisemites when nothing could be further from the truth. It bloody hurts. The plan is to make us feel too ashamed to be a Corbyn supporter. And I admit at one stage I doubted myself.

1. Well there's interesting. The self-defined representatives of the Jewish community absolutely silent on twitter about the Tories' MEP voting against censuring Orban yesterday. The BoD? Nowt
(in fact they were schmoozing with Brokenshire and Grant)
2. The CST? Nowt. (but they were meeting with David Morris MP, you know the Tory who was shouting across the floor of Parliament that Labour were racist in PMQs yesterday)
3. The JLC? Nowt
Although they, too, were meeting with Morris yesterday it seems.

1. I will caveat my thread, like I always do on this subject, with my personal view that there is evidence of antisemitism in the Labour Party and it must be stamped out. I will now show a few things I have discovered over the past few days.
2. I discovered, first of all, just how easy it is to make fake facebook statuses and tweets, download them and present them as a screen-shot. They're very convincing. (Crafted by my own fair hand!)
3. Then we had the issue of @angelaormerod, self-proclaimed Labour member, who has tweeted 152,000 times since Sept. I worked out that was >500 tweets a day. She suddenly popped up with an antisemitic tweet on Friday or Saturday. Here's Chris

1. Time for another thread (stop yawning at the back). The latest accusations of what is being described variously as Corbyn being a "f***ing antisemite and a racist!" and "institutional racism" in Labour stem from the fact that Labour have not adopted an IHRA document verbatim.
2. Allegations are made that Labour have not adopted the "definition of antisemitism" contained in the document. This is untrue. The working defintion is set out, in the IHRA document, thus: holocaustremembrance.com/working-defini…
3. The Labour Code of Conduct contains the defintion of antisemitism which is, word for word, exactly the same as the IHRA working definition. (Downloadable from here: thejc.com/comment/analys…)

Getting grumpy again. A lot of people are claiming that the Labour Policy document on Antisemitism has dumped 4 key aspects of the IHRA definition. This is not true. I will list the claims and highlight what the document actually says:
1. Denying the Jewish people the right to self-determination:
2. Holding Jews or Israel to double standards, or higher standards than other countries/peoples:
