**SOCIALIST LABOUR POLL FOR SOCIALISTS**

For 40+ years, there's been Tory government , Lib Dems & New Labour Blair/Brown; now we've New New Labour under Sir Keir Starmer.

As a Socialist, are you willing to give @WorkersPartyGB
your consideration? If not, explain why comrades?
So reasons for 'no' is stuff like "don't trust him", about him sharing a platform with Farage and Bannon, and that he blocked you or he has blocked people.

A lot of the replies are sprawling with lots of misinformation, and disinformation.

Allow me to address these issues 1/6
"don't trust him" is ineluctably code for the Brexit issue, Bannon & Farage; which ultimately leads to the 'block' reason.

Imagine you get a million comments saying you are a fascist sympathiser, terrorist sympathiser and antisemite in Jeremy Corbyn's case; would you block? 2/6
George shared Brexit platform with Farage on pre referendum 'Go' campaign along with many others, because there was no left wing leave platform; I'm sure Bob Crow, Peter Shore and Tony Benn would have done the same thing.

3/6
George voted Brexit Party in 2019 in MEP elections as a 'one time only' thing because like millions working class people, he seen his once in a lifetime democratic vote trying to be stolen.

I couldn't vote Labour myself as EVERY Labour MEP standing wanted a "People's Vote" 4/6
Farage is many things, but he's no fascist, just as Corbyn isn't an antisemite. Accusing people of being a fascist or antisemite is a very dangerous thing to do. It devalues the meaning of the words; don't do it, because if fascism reared its ugly head, you might not see it 5/6
George shared a debate platform along with others with Bannon in Kazasktan, and shook his hand at the end.

What was he to do, punch him?

The BBC and media did a bang up job painting Corbyn in a ghastly way, don't use their playbook by doing the same with George Galloway. 6/6
