After 38 years I have been expelled from Labour for showing support for my former MP, himself expelled by Kinnock on the day he was voted hardest working MP by his peers. I campaigned for Foot, Kinnock, Blair & Corbyn. I knocked on 2000 doors in 19. A badge of honour.

He must have seen a lot of action to get all those medals. My dad was bomber crew in WW2 and he only got one.

Let me get this straight @Channel4News John Hume is a hero for 'talking to the IRA' but Jeremy Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser?

I have been suspended from @UKLabour for the following tweets, criticising the Apartheid Regime of Israel. I campaigned for every leader from Foot to Blair. I knocked on 2000 doors in the 19 GE. I didn't quite make 40 years. I consider the suspension a badge of honour.

I don't believe for a second, Starmer's parents couldn't pay the phone bill on 2 incomes in the 70s. He's a liar.

Centrism is about wanting something now you rejected when it was offered to you.

At least we avoided free broadband, a soft Brexit, free education and an end to rough sleeping. What a narrow escape that was.

I'm old enough to remember when the taxpayer gave the bankers £725,000,000,000. Would you call that socialism?

Mate, after 45 years of Thatcherism, we can't even make steel or build a 5G network without China. Give it a rest.

Preparing for conflict... 👇 Some of us have been calling for this for some time. 👉An enemy determined to do battle - turns our hesitation to his advantage. 👉To wait for war is to invite it.
