Document:An Unpopular Articleblog post1 October 2019Craig MurrayThrowing the kitchen sink of accusations against Boris Johnson obscures with chaff the allegations of real wrongdoing, like directing public funds and assistance to the company of a woman with whom he was in a sexual relationship.

Document:Anatomy of a Scandal: Israel Crucifies CorbynArticle14 August 2014Michael W. Howard"Tom Watson has it backward: the 'eternal shame and embarrassment' come when Labour, swallowing whatever pride it has left, meekly submits to being harassed and blackmailed by a foreign power and its vulgar propagandists. Jeremy Corbyn, it seems, is gearing up to do just that. Chalk one up for Goebbels."
Document:Being anti-war does not make us apologists for 'the enemy' or anyone elseArticle28 February 2022Lindsey GermanI am proud to be an anti-war campaigner and I know there are many like me. I note that anti-war protesters in Russia are being lauded in the British media. I also support them and send them my full solidarity. The irony is that Putin will see them as the enemy within — just as our government (and loyal opposition) treats us.
Document:Biden Works to Prolong Ukraine Warblog post7 June 2022Craig Murray"Ukraine is objecting to this plan (for Turkey to clear sea lanes of mines and to police the ships carrying grain) because it objects to the removal of the mines, which I should be clear were put down in the sea lanes by Ukraine to prevent amphibious attack on Odessa."
Document:Boris Johnson in Downing Street for five years: what could possibly go wrong?Article30 December 2019John S WarrenAll the cards are held by Boris Johnson because he has the answer to all the problems facing Britain.

Document:Boris Johnson is Unfit for National Officeblog post13 December 2021Clifford ThurlowJohnson has been astute with the people he has gathered about him in the Cabinet.

Document:Boris Johnson's first two priorities for post-Brexit BritainArticle1 February 2020Richard MurphyBoris Johnson has admitted what Brexit was for. He wants to control and constrain people. The market in labour will be constrained.

Document:Brexit is the villain in accidental death of the economyArticle6 August 2023William KeeganThe Brexit miscreants who conned the nation just carry on shamelessly, while their replacements, Rishi Sunak and co, take up the banner and Keir Starmer, once a noble remainer, offends his natural followers by ruling out rejoining the EU or even the single market.

Document:Britain’s creeping cronyismArticle1 September 2020Richard Norton-TaylorThe culture of the Johnson government may be very different from that of Whitehall’s “permanent government”. But the two have one thing in common, lack of accountability and addiction to official secrecy.
Document:Council of Europe sides with Julian AssangeArticleSara ChessaThe attitude of European institutions is changing after years of silence which seemed to authorise or support the US and the United Kingdom’s behaviour in relation to an individual who is apparently deprived of the right to prepare his defence and deprived as well of his right to dignified psychophysical conditions. Now, the Council of Europe has decided to speak up on behalf of Julian Assange.

Nicolas J. S. Davies

Document:Let’s Move On From Borisblog post28 May 2020Craig Murray"Boris Johnson on the Dominic Cummings debacle: 'It is now time to move on… the country wants to move on.' If a politician tells you to 'move on' from a subject, it is a gigantic red flag that you should do precisely the opposite."
Document:Lord McDonald's letter of 5 July 2022Letter5 July 2022Simon McDonaldWhen Lord McDonald took to Twitter at 7:30 this morning, he knew the political firestorm he would create.

Document:Margaret Thatcher Ruined Britainblog post30 December 2021Clifford ThurlowMargaret Thatcher ruined Britain with her hard-right policies and the five Conservative prime ministers, since her party knifed her in the back the Tory way, have carelessly kicked over the remains. Each has been worse than the last in descending order – John Major, David Cameron, Theresa May, liar Boris Johnson and finally Liz Truss, a puppet with a wooden heart and personal photographer.
Document:Message for the Red Wallblog post12 April 2022Clifford Thurlow"This is my message for the Red Wall.

Document:Parody Britain and the Death of the Fourth EstateArticle9 December 2021Mike SmallThis is a ruling elite, a governing class that comes from the same strata, shares the same education and is literally inter-married. In this context the idea that such a media can hold the powerful to account is of course laughable. The British media is incestuous and dysfunctional.
Document:Pollokshields Shows How To Achieve Independenceblog post14 May 2021Craig MurrayPollokshields showed how the people of Scotland will eventually take their own Independence.

Document:So what actually happened in the Strait of Hormuz on 10th July?social media post12 July 2019Oliver TickellThe aggressive posturing of US and UK and the moves to militarise the Strait of Hormuz, taken together with US calls for regime change and other threats to the sovereignty of Iran, constitute a breach of UNCLOS Articles 19 and 39 and are thus unlawful.
Document:Suffer the little childrenArticle12 November 2012Susie BonifaceNine years ago the BBC was at the centre of another frenzy when it similarly accused the government of misleading the public.

Document:The Centre Blows Itself Up: Care and Spite in the ‘Brexit Election’Article13 January 2020David GraeberAt the 'Brexit Election' of 2019, the anti-Semitism accusations weakened Labour immensely.

Document:The Demonization of Jeremy CorbynArticle10 December 2019Tony McKennaNotwithstanding, Corbyn was transfigured by a rabid establishment into successive manifestations of the purest evil: he was a terrorist sympathiser; a threat to national security; a communist spy; a misogynist; and, a dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semite.
Document:The Dreamings of Dominic CummingsArticle24 October 2019James MeekFor Dominic Cummings the whole Brexit crisis may be a venturesome trial with disposable vessels: voters, the Conservative Party, the United Kingdom.

Document:The EHRC’s report into Labour antisemitism is the real ‘political interference’blog post7 November 2020Jonathan CookIt is instructive to compare the certainty with which the EHRC treats Councillor Pam Bromley’s ambiguous remarks as irrefutable proof of antisemitism in Labour with its complete disregard for unmistakably antisemitic comments from Boris Johnson, the man actually running the country. That lack of concern is shared, of course, by the establishment media and Jewish leadership organisations.

Document:The plot to keep Corbyn out of powerblog post3 July 2019Jonathan CookThe weaponisation of anti-semitism against Corbyn has become so normal that, even while I was writing this post, a new nadir was reached. Jeremy Hunt, the foreign secretary who hopes to defeat Boris Johnson in the upcoming Tory leadership race, as good as accused Corbyn of being a new Hitler, a man who as prime minister might allow Jews to be exterminated, just as occurred in the Nazi death camps.
