SuddenDownpourJeremy Corbyn re-elected as independent in Islington North after expulsion from Labour
Good for him. I’ve never seen Jeremy Corbyn be anything other than decent and honest, and frank I about his policies and why they are needed, even as he was treated terribly by the media. Hopefully he can be an effective voice in Parliament during this Labour government.
kartonrealistaI’m not from the UK but when I last watched something with Corbyn he was shilling for Russia, how is that not an absolute deal-breaker?
The UK 'Reform' party are Russia shills and racists and they got 15% of the vote. I think a lot of the UK's people are misguided by the media.
alephCertain parts of the media/political establishment certainly tried to paint him that way, but all he was advocating for was a ceasefire and for Ukraine and Russia to come to a diplomatic solution instead of just perpetuating an endless war.
Former U.K. Labour Leader Corbyn: Ukraine War Is 'Disgraceful' And Russia's 'Wrong At Every Level'
Jeremy Corbyn, the former British opposition leader, says the UN and the West should have been tougher on Russian President Vladimir Putin early on, and expanding alliances like NATO isn't "the best way forward."
perpetuating endless war
Meaning Ukraine should stop resisting its efforts to throw out the Russian invaders of their country. What a disingenous parrotting of the Russian agenda.
See my comment here as a response.
So invade your country, grab a few parts, then we have a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution where i keep the land that i already got. And then i repeat it. Is this a “pro-peace” stand? Or is it a “pro-conquering” stance, that enables this behaviour?
Would he have the same opinion about nazi Germany invading and conquering other countries? Maybe a peace for our time kind of deal?
See my comment here as a response.
I replied there.
lumpenproletariatThat reply is pure Russia propaganda drivel.
It’s hit every made up Russian talking point “Oh it’s NATO expanding, we had to attack someone else because how dare they want to think about defending from us. Oh and they were all totally Nazis, now excuse us as we wipe out the Ukrainians as a peoples”
No.
The best propaganda is that which is true.
That doesn’t mean all propaganda is true.
The reason he fell from favor was a coordinated and relentless media attack and smear campaign because he was beholden to Old Labour values, and not New Labour’s brand of limp dick neoliberalism.
That may sound overly simplistic and vulgar, but it’s accurate, and if anything, less vulgar than the smear campaign that was used to gun down his political career as leader.
I don’t care. I watched an interview with him and his foreign policy takes were so horrid he would be laughed out of the room if he said something like this in my country. Guess some people in the UK don’t really give a crap about Ukraine.
Exactly what does he say that was “shilling for Russia”? Send us a link.
