      Yes let’s see. I expect the media - billionaire owned on one hand, bbc on the other - will do the kind of job on him they did when he was leader of the labour party. He will become mired in claims of antisemitism (whatever that means these days), and whatever else they can throw at him and it won’t go anywhere.

      Capital drives the UK and capital does not want socialism. The media is in significant part crowd control.

        They tried and succeeded with BS antisemitism.
        while I generally have zero faith in people I think they might be conscious enough to grasp this over used excuse.
        Besides that, it’s also not hard to see the Labours are/were not left these days.
        I give them more credit than the hopeless US dems who eternally believe in their fake left party and think they can fix it.
        Maybe they can link him to Russia, as bad as being antisemite these days.

        BTW why do you say the BBC is ‘the other hand’.
        They are just as bad and shamelessly pushing whatever the regime tells them.
        It’s literally the purpose they were invented for.

          I just meant the breadth of media coverage in the UK spans billionaire/Murdoch owned media on one side to the voice-piece of the British establishment itself, which is now little more than a proxy for the interests of capital, on the other.

          As for the term ‘antisemitism’, well the Gazans being murdered by Israeli’s are semites too.

          But given the Israelis are committing a genocide - starving children then shooting them as they queue up for food - I don’t think anybody really gives a fuck what Israelis or the people ultimately supporting the genocide in the UK media, or in UK political parties of every stripe, think about the people that oppose them. It is about being on one side of history or another.
