@TomSwarbrick1 last night interviewed Matt Finnegan (Former Labour Special Advisor to Angela Raynor during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership) and Steve Hedley (Assistant General Secretary for the RMT Union), who has been campaigning for Labour.

Steve Hedley typifies Labour under Jeremy Corbyn and what the Party has become, all condensed into one sour, angry, aggressive human-being. >>

3/8
Steve laughs out loud when Mr Finnegan mentions Labour “misogyny” and “antisemitism” (because it's funny isn't it?), talks of antisemitism being “weaponised” and overblown and that “Anyone who criticise the State of Israel is labelled an antisemite”. >>

4/8
He calls @JonAshworth “Judas” before saying "at least Judas got his 30 pieces of silver...", suggests Matt Finnegan “goes to the Tory party where he belongs”, shouting “you traitor!” at him. Hedley loses the plot, getting more angry and aggressive as the interview goes on. >>

5/8
Hedley claims he was targeting the “Jewish section of the EDL” when he said, “What the Nazis did to you, you’re doing to the Palestinians. But then again, you’re one of the Chosen People, so you might feel better than me, huh?” >>

Mr Hedley has supported Assad, questioned Russian involvement in the Skripal poisoning, calls out "the murder of the British Government all over the world", in amongst a long and toxic charge sheet.

7/8 It’s great ear-fodder for @TomSwarbrick1's listeners. But I question why @LBC invited this bully, suspended by @UKLabour and in breach of the IHRA definition of #antisemitism, to shout over and abuse a calm opponent who received a fraction of the time to make his point. >>

8/8
Steve Hedley typifies the "Kinder, Gentler" reply to Jewish people calling out #racism (and anyone who dares question @jeremycorbyn)

By Friday, these voices could be green-lit by the electorate.

Happy voting.
