'The mural...' Whether she's a brainwashed dummy or a cynical Israeli agent is irrelevant. Our political/media estate used Lipman and fanatics like her to politically assassinate Corbyn and the left. One of the great political scandals of this or any other age. #ItWasAScam 3.1K views · 244 likes · 90 reposts · 5 replies 03 Sep 2026 In this interview in 2021, Maureen Lipman said because Jeremy Corbyn is anti-capitalist, he isn’t able to recognise antisemitism. I’ve never heard such a load of utter claptrap in my life. https://t.co/HRK7Vu9jgy 9.6K views · 364 likes · 98 reposts · 27 replies 03 Sep 2026 I'm going to have to disagree with @SangitaMyska on this. Claiming BBC's editorial standards are 'normally very good' is just false. BBC produced one of the most blatantly fraudulent political broadcasts of our time, their 'Panorama: Is Labour Antisemitic?' #ItWasAScam 5.1K views · 438 likes · 188 reposts · 23 replies 02 Sep 2026 Simon Sebag Montefiore in 2019 doing the mural fraud. He's not a stupid man so he knows full well what pernicious nonsense this is, but he also knows cant like this is how you get on in UK media, and get on he certainly has, now getting TV plugs for his new book. #ItWasAScam 1.7K views · 60 likes · 23 reposts · 2 replies 02 Sep 2026 @simonmaginn Here's Simon Says in full flow in the Observer - hook-nosed bankers and an "ideology, now oozing from Corbynists all over the internet". https://t.co/hXAC7vNfVI 2.9K views · 8 likes · 4 reposts · 4 replies 02 Sep 2026 Starmer lied about everything to everyone, starting with the 'antisemitism crisis' smearing fraud, until, as Christopher Hitchens' biography of Bill Clinton had it, there was 'no-one left to lie to'. #ItWasAScam 7.1K views · 186 likes · 101 reposts · 4 replies 02 Sep 2026 "Sir Keir Starmers announced he'll stand down as an MP despite previously telling you in an interview he would stay on as an MP" Fitting that the most duplicitous UK politician in my lifetime goes out on a lie. https://t.co/ZrXPUIOeJh 5.3K views · 108 likes · 31 reposts · 3 replies 02 Sep 2026 @simonmaginn Peter also voted for Jeremy Corbyn in 2019 724 views · 21 likes · 5 reposts · 3 replies 08 Sep 2024 @simonmaginn What makes no sense is that he bought into it in the first place. He fronted the excellent C4 dispatches programme highlighting the shocking influence of the Israeli lobby in UK politics, https://t.co/EG2dhrj4Xs 829 views · 16 likes · 14 reposts · 0 replies 11 Jun 2024 @simonmaginn From all that I’ve read in recent years from Peter Oborne I’d say he’s now a former Tory ( could be wrong ). He has integrity , empathy , intelligence and knows how to do his research . Oh that others could do the same . Huge respect to him 888 views · 28 likes · 5 reposts · 1 replies 10 Jun 2024 Peter Oborne - a Tory - understood Corbyn was being smeared and said so, at God alone knows what personal and professional cost. In a world of Andrew Neils and Emily Maitlises, be a Peter Oborne. #ItWasAScam 309.5K views · 4.6K likes · 4.8K reposts · 187 replies 10 Jun 2024 “I feel ashamed that I bought into the narrative about Jeremy Corbyn. I should have been a lot more careful and scrupulous about some of my journalism. Others could make the same assessment" @OborneTweets on the Labour Files: https://t.co/SK4rYtkuDi 0 views · 6.1K likes · 5K reposts · 260 replies 09 Dec 2022
