I read that Corbyn's new party is being described as the most sinister party seen in decades. This by a figure who works for the Telegraph and GB News, Camilla Tominey.

These people describe the left as the hard-left. They try to pretend that Starmer's Labour Party are left of centre. At the same time they never ever describe any parties in the UK as being far-right. Can everyone see what the press are up to?

@IndyRichard @Geri Wait, what? #Corbyn has a new party?? This has to be the best news the #UK Left has had in a long time! I'm American and events here in #Atlantis have been, shall we say, a bit distracting; but how did I miss this?

@Geri @IndyRichard This one also refers to the new party as "far left" and implicitly claims it will help #Farage. Sounds like the same playbook our #RightWingPress in the #USA uses anytime there's a serious effort to reform or replace the #JackassParty: they yowl "YOU'RE HELPING TRUMP!!"

@Geri @IndyRichard I would have thought that having a parliamentary system would have made that gambit less effective than it is here. Maybe so, but it seems they still think it's worth a try.
