Half way to Infinity
This shows the utter hypocrisy of anyone who wants to make something of the Corbyn Spy story
How sweet the sound ofBen 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.
Agree, but....an apology is not enough, according to to principles laid down by his own Party Chairman, he should be suspended.How sweet the sound of
The libellous Tory’s climbdown.
Taking his money off him and giving it to his very constituents he didn’t want “breeding” .
Excellent article.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.

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.
