Well maybe but
Absolutely disgusting.

I had to double check when you asked, tbh.
But yes, it's desperate really. I do worry that this approach of hateful blaming Corbyn for everything and simultaneously accusing Corbynistas of all sorts of misrepresentation and intimidation will cause problems.
But it is mainly bubble stuff, so perhaps not.
I just looked up who France's Barber is and, to be honest, I'm none the wiser. So why does it matter what nonsense she spews into the vacuum that is Twitter?
What gets said on Twitter makes even less difference to the country than what gets said on here.

'Reports that ballot results were not properly reached'...you mean they waited until half the people had left the room before sneakily voting on a six month suspension of voting rights and the banning of all local party activity? Oh no wait, that was you lot.

Maybe just don't share this crap? Time was the views of ranting muppets like this never made it past the walls of the pub they were sat in at the time. Those were better times IMO.

An actress, with 29.9K followers. I'd never heard of her before either lol but Twitter is not a vacuum. Lots of people use it as a news source, I've used it for lots of middle eastern info but the important thing here is the amount of followers she's got. Whether the majority of them agree with her on this issue is another matter.

I've no idea who she is either. I do though think using something like this to make some petty (and unrelated) political jibe is pretty fucking disgusting. And that she thinks this is a reasonable/position-enhancing point to make...well.

I think it's interesting how barking mad it is, but it should probably be taken with a pinch of salt, yes.

Anything that gets said hundreds of thousands of times makes a difference on some level. Bullshit like hers included. Every tweet another drop in the great bucket of stupidity.

I wonder... I've heard quite nasty stuff from people old enough to be my grandmothers to my face and in front of my son. I could tell you a few but it's enough they pollute my memory

I want to believe most people will dismiss it as nasty trolling but, as things stand right now, can you imagine how many headlines this would make if this was directed at Angela Eagle instead of Corbyn?

I dunno, is useful to know about these - perhaps a long list of them (together with the newspaper headlines that belie the actual story) is useful to show how stupidly biased much of the criticisms are.
This is the mistake people keep making. 29.9k is nothing. A lot of those -- probably the vast majority -- will have pressed follow and stopped reading Twitter or no longer pay attention thereafter. Be generous and say 10k read it. I bet at least that many read urban. 10k out of 70m is nothing at all. And those 10k probably already agree with her anyway.
It looks important to those that think that Twitter is important. To everyone else, it means nothing.

I'd be genuinely surprised if Urban had 2,000 regular readers.

Haha yes well neither of us have heard of her, but all I'm saying is don't underestimate Twitter's value as a news source.

I attach nothing to numbers of twitter/FB followers because I have pretty distasteful characters on my lists. I've long held the belief that it does no good to be caught by surprise so I like to keep an eye on the people I disagree with.

Why don't you members demand/hold ward meetings and have votes of confidence/no confidence at that level? Like, right now.

Because such an action would only be as effective as the number of branches that decided to defy the ruling and few will do it before being sure the others will follow suit. With so many anti-Corbyn CLPs few will want to take such plunges. Momentum could/should help but being itself a target...
e2a: I'm assuming.

Ward meetings aren't suspended though, unless the CLP suspensions automatically mean that, but that wasn't mentioned in the NEC statement of what is happening.Because such an action would only be as effective as the number of branches that decided to defy the ruling and few will do it before being sure the others will follow suit.

she excelled herself last year with a 2am drunken, racist rant vs a 'Muslim Uber driver' who had supposedly assaulted her on way back from Old Vic,which was then downgraded to supposedly verbally assaulted her, then Uber got involved, and despite repeated requests for further info / evidence etc, the whole thing then went v quiet .
ie : like Cathy Newman, but perma semi sozzled . Total dickhead.
I'd be surprised if Frances Barber had 1000
