1/2 .@hamiltonrobbed. Are they so? I'd say the opposite. In a country where millions sing 'Ukraine is our mother,Bandera is our father', quite 'normal' people, voting for mainstream parties are far more open to ideas and politics which would nauseate their equivalents in Britain. — PolitiTweet.org

.@gordoncraig11. You haven't read the article, which makes it clear Sir Keir's affiliations continue into his adult life and that he does not disown them. I finally quit the International Socialists (I never belonged to the SWP, and the term is 'Trotskyist') in 1975. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@hamiltonrobbed I don't like or 'support' Mr Phillips, as I make quite clear here: https://t.co/GHjQtaR3jx I *oppose* attempts by the British state to punish him without trial or due process. Putin, like you, doesn't see this distinction. People who defend freedom do see it. — PolitiTweet.org

Well, if Red-Green Pabloism, 'Socialist Alternatives' and the Haldane Society are the 'centre ground' heaven knows where the left ground is, [email protected]'s hilarious is your proud ignorance of politics, combined with the certainties you build upon it. https://t.co/WTgop3RQtX — PolitiTweet.org

.@ross_bellamy . The Kiev mob contained armed groups and used severe violence, killing several police officers. That is why I call it a mob, just as I call the Trumpoid yahoos who stormed the US Capitol a mob. Can you really not tell the difference? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@tannadice94. How do you know who they were or what they wanted? If large demonstrations in a nation’s capital are enough to unseat an elected head of state, why bother with elections ( in which many more take part)? But if you favour such mob rule, be careful who leads the mob — PolitiTweet.org

Alas, Peter's conclusion is a weird call for Sir Keir Starmer to become Prime Minister. We might have to put up with this, but Starmer is not 'boring' but a Pabloite Eurocommunist Red-Green zealot, and nobody should *want* him in Downing Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Oborne @obornetweets at his best. It's not just that the Tory Party is not conservative. Another reason to thrust the Tory Party down the plumbing and keep flushing until it has entirely gone. — PolitiTweet.org

@hamiltonrobbed. He was elected. If elected leaders displease you, you remove them at the ballot box, not by violent riot. The mob were afraid their side would lose in elections - so preferred lawless foreign-backed violence. — PolitiTweet.org
