This shows the utter hypocrisy of anyone who wants to make something of the Corbyn Spy story
 
It will be interesting to see if Bradley's apology to Corbyn actually makes it onto BBC Television News, instead of buried as a small written piece on their website.

It hasn't happened yet. Doesn't even make the scrawling text news underneath the picture.

Wonder if all the other tory @rsewipes who said questions have been asked and must be answered (inc Maybot) will eat humble pie!
 
Ben Bradley, the Tory MP who tweeted the libellous claim that Corbyn sold secrets to foreign spies has apologised after facing legal action from Corbyn's team:

I'm pleased to see that there are still limits to the lies one can tell about one's political opponents, even if those limits that are routinely tested by the smears and innuendo of our far-right press.
How sweet the sound of
That libellous Tory’s climbdown.

Taking his money off him and giving it to his very constituents he didn’t want “breeding” .

Agree, but....an apology is not enough, according to to principles laid down by his own Party Chairman, he should be suspended.

And if he's not, the Party Chairman himself needs to be held to account.
 
Many of us don't rely on social media, vanity-blogs and Russian propaganda channels yet are still perfectly able to recognise a libellous smear when we see it!

PS No amount of "mainstream media" has ever managed to make Disgraced Former Defence Secretary Liam Fox appear even remotely credible or competent.
 
Well, quite. I only read the Telegraph and the BBC news website and never look at social media apart from the Fall and HMHB groups of Facebook, but I could see from the off that the 'Corbyn meets spy' story was a whole load of nothing.
 
Of course, the story has been a bag of shite from the start. The retired Czech agent who made the claims, Jan Sarkocy, has been shown to be a fantasist, someone who makes up stories to gain attention. But the right-wing press lapped it up. They lapped it up and persisted with it. I doubt it will do Corbyn any harm at all, but the case for believing that press has any degree of impartiality has taken a kick in the goolies. The mainstream media's influence is on the wane and this kind of journalism just ensures that more and more people will take their news and views from 'alternative' commentators. It appears that this episode has been denounced in some mainstream media so we are not yet queueing up to get on the handcart.

Excellent article.

Conservative MP Helen Whately claimed Jeremy Corbyn is "so poorly informed on Saudi and Yemen." She previously led an all-expense-paid Tory junket to meet with the Saudi monarchy.

Conservative Lawmaker Who Attacked Corbyn over Yemen Received Luxury Paid Trip from Saudi Arabia

When the United Kingdom's leftist opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn criticized the government for supporting a catastrophic Saudi war on Yemen and welcoming the Saudi crown prince to London, he was attacked by a pro-Saudi Conservative member of Parliament, who claimed the Labour Party chief is "so poorly informed on Saudi and Yemen."

What this right-wing lawmaker failed to mention is that she previously received thousands of dollars in hospitality expenses from the Saudi regime, while on a luxury junket to meet the Saudi king.

Do you have anything to say about whatever it is? Links to bullshit websites don't count.

Except she didn't fail to mention did she? Otherwise that would have been against parliamentary rules and unless that was the case this would feel like a thinly veiled attempt by left wing media to turn a fully declared trip relating to her job into a smear because she challenged Reverend corbyn. But that couldn't be the case because that is something only right media do correct?
