So this was their plan. After years of Corbyn and his allies lying that antisemitism in Labour wasn’t real/ a smear/ they had dealt with it - their last big play is this leaked ‘report.’ I’m worried it could partially work. #LabourAntisemitism 1/ https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1249051861803511810

With the EHRC about to prove the extent of Labour’s antisemitism problem, Corbynites have spent their last few months in power formulating this non-mea culpa. Finally they’re admitting YES all those antisemites actually were Labour members... 2/

YES there were many many more cases and members than they admitted to, and YES they hadn’t in fact dealt with them. BUT, it wasn’t their fault. Oh no, the true villains were those dastardly centrists deliberately holding the truth back from Corbyn in order to undermine him. 3/

All this report proves with its WhatsApp messages, is that the centrists hated the Corbynites. Big surprise. But by tying that obvious truth to this lie, it muddies the water, giving Corbyn etc an excuse for all those antisemites given haven in Labour under their watch. 4/

Labour lawyers under Starmer have identified this report for what it obviously is and withheld it, so it was leaked. Because when the EHRC’s findings comes out, the Corbynites needed their alibi. It’s a rubbish transparent alibi, but it’s a life-raft to cling to. 5/

All those apologists for racism with whom I’ve spent the last few years arguing, they’ve now got a new lie to spin. A new lie to comfort them. Rather than putting their hands up and actually taking responsibility for the evil they’ve been party to, they’ll claim victim status. 6/

Oh so it turns out Labour actually did have a massive antisemitism problem that they perpetuated BUT - poor them. THEY were lied to. It wasn’t THEIR fault. Or Corbyn. Or Milne. Or Fornby. 7/

It’s brazen, it’s frankly, utter bollocks, but it’ll work. Not to the wider world, but when the EHRC exposes these people and the scale of their wrongdoing, the cotton wool will already be in the ears of those complicit whilst more sewage sprouts from their mouths. 8/

I naively hoped it was over. At least this chapter. I even hoped maybe I could mend bridges with lost friends with the truth. But I know it’s always easier for someone else to be the bad guy. Especially when they’re so so pure. They are going to lap this shit up. Well played. 9/.
