Are people really surprised by Nadia Whittome? Her commitment to the Left is tenuous at best, and entirely contingent on whether it'll help her career. There's a reason why the entire organised Left in Rushcliffe CLP refused to back her when she stood for selection in 2017. 1/4
Nadia's half-hearted support (if you can even call it that) for Jeremy Corbyn and her appalling statement yesterday don't surprise me. She is heavily associated with the Alliance for Workers' Liberty (AWL), an Islamophobic pseudo-Trotskyist cult that is committed to Zionism. 2/4
Nadia only won the Nottingham East selection because it was stitched-up to keep Louise Regan off the shortlist. I see that Louise has now been unjustly suspended after an intervention by Lee Harpin (someone who I consider to be a right-wing racist). Louise has my solidarity! 3/4
Of course, the AWL utterly detest Louise and ran a vicious smear campaign against her during the selection last year. I'm sure they're rubbing their hands with glee today. I hope this episode finally wakes people up to the sort of 'left-wingers' we have in our midst. 4/4
