Ken Loach expelled from the Labour Party

Labour's a strange party to watch these days. Hard to tell what their ambitions are or who anything they do is supposed to appeal to. A few weeks ago they were apparently out of cash and having to sack staff. Why then does it seem like finding reasons to expel members is a top priority for them? Surely they should be concentrating on fundraising and building some popular appeal?

Last week Starmer was demanding someones Alpaca be killed. What's that all about?

Sunday Times political editor Shipman deletes tweet falsely linking Ken Loach to Holocaust denial​

25 Comments on Sunday Times political editor Shipman deletes tweet falsely linking Ken Loach to Holocaust denial

Shipman only recently paid compensation to Labour aide for tweet suggesting affair with Starmer​



Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman has deleted a tweet linking world-famous film director Ken Loach to Holocaust denial. After left Labour MP Jon Trickett condemned the party’s expulsion of Loach for refusing to denounce victims of the Keir Starmer/David Evans purge of left members, Shipman responded with a comment clearly connecting Loach with denial of the murder of millions of Jews, Gypsies and others by the nazis:


Loach was smeared last year with the same libel, based on an apparently deliberate misrepresentation of a Loach comment about freedom of speech – but he had quickly put the matter firmly to bed in well-publicised letter to the Guardian:



Tim Shipman had not responded, up to the time of publication, to a request for comment on the reasons for the deletion, but his caution may have been driven by his recent experience after tweeting a comment about Labour leader Keir Starmer and his then-aide Jenny Chapman, which resulted in Shipman making a public apology and paying compensation:


Of course, it might have been better not to make the comment falsely linking Loach to the foulness of Holocaust denial in the first place, than to have cautious second thoughts after the event.

The Times is endless bilge dolled up in fancy font. The M&S of papers.

WTF are you on about as usual? Agreeing that an Alpaca with the very dangerous and deadly TB should be put to sleep is not the same as “demanding someone’s Alpaca be killed”!

Reminds one of the Express too. Okay in the past it wasn't brilliant, but at least newsworthy with some respected commentators. Now it's barely even legible. The dumbification of all media.

What reason did the party give for loaches expulsion?

He would not disown the likes of Jews Jackie Walker, Naomi Wimbourne-Idrissi and anti-racist Mark Wadsworth - who have been expelled or suspended by the Labour Party. [For "anti-semitism" - ie, supporting Palestinain rights in their own country]

On Twitter, 85-year-old Loach, a winner of the Palme d’Or for I, Daniel Blake, said: “Labour HQ finally decided I’m not fit to be a member of their party, as I will not disown those already expelled. Well … I am proud to stand with the good friends and comrades victimised by the purge. There is indeed a witch-hunt … Starmer and his clique will never lead a party of the people. We are many, they are few. Solidarity.”

Since when did "disowning" people become a criterion for party membership. Sounds like a total triviality to me.

I read that article roofie and it's the reason loach gives. I haven't heard anything from the Labour Party though which seems odd. If it is because of who he chooses as friends and that alone, I won't vote Labour. Who he has as friends is none of the parties business.

Its been the witch-hunt which began when Starmer became party leader.
Black anti - racist Jews like Jackie Walker have been expelled for "anti-semitism": whole Constituency Labour Party`s have been suspended for raising discussion about restating Jeremy Corbyn. East London Party Members were suspended for supporting the annual Palestinian Bike Ride for Palestinian Children. The purge of socialists and left wing jews - for whom the British Board of Depuies, The Jewish Chronicle and the Jewish Labour Movement - do not speak.

Its a hatchet job - slash and burn. Its so evident now - Starmers strategy and those of his allies and staffers is to clear the party of any internal debate or opposition. His appointment of former Israeli spy - Assaf Kaplin to spy on members social-media and unconditional support with the Zionist Regime, along with complicity with the fake "crisis" narrative, are tools he is using to destroy the party.

The fact his, the Establishment now have thgeir man at the head and 100,000 members have left since he became leader.

The party is losing revenue and recently sacked experienced Labour Staffers - many of whom supported the sabotage of Corbyn`s keadership for Starmers victory.
But history shows that the quasi-Stalinist strategy wont ultimately work for those who need a fighting vocal alternative to austerity.

There is much more than this, but I havent time to write a dissertation.
