Did it do those things on purpose?

Surely that is required before you brandish "war crimes" about
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of them, yes, absolutely.

The bombing of the RTS headquarters was absolutely deliberate and inarguably a war crime.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_the_Radio_Television_of_Serbia_headquarters

Insofar as the attack actually was aimed at disrupting the communications network, it was legally acceptable ... NATO’s targeting of the RTS building for propaganda purposes was an incidental (albeit complementary) aim of its primary goal of disabling the Serbian military command and control system and to destroy the nerve system and apparatus that keeps Milošević in power[16]

In your own link.

And the there's someone in prison for forcing his staff to stay in the building

I’m not against a tax on outsourcing

BREAK: Angela Rayner says Diane Abbott should be able to stand to be a Labour MP.

She tells ITV's @AnushkaAsthana: “I don’t see any reason why Diane Abbott can’t stand as a Labour MP going forward… I am saying that as the deputy leader of the Labour Party”.

Oh dear, that's Rayner getting her P45 in about an hour.

I doubt it considering Starmer said the exact same thing yesterday.

It’s clear labour massively dropped the ball on this one. Now they’re trying to recover their PR. Starmer is an amateur

No he didn't

Sir Keir said no decision had been made about Ms Abbott, who he described as a "trailblazer".

Man, Keith really is one hell of a slippery snake. Red Tory in full flow.

Ffs 😔

They're purging all of the left wing candidates, she's been deselected for liking a tweet about the Green party 10 years ago before she joined the LP.

She nearly defeated IDS in the last GE too, and now this stupid decision has basically enabled the Tories to keep that seat.

Keith went on national television to claim he was a 'socialist' too bloke is the second most evil LP leader we've had in my lifetime

Ah gotcha

Good for me, bad for you I guess eh?

No, he's just proving to me why I won't be voting for Labour because they're every bit as dirty as the Tories. It'll be wasted anyway given I live in London.

And I'll never vote for a party that had a leader go on national radio and admit it's fine for Israel to turn off food and water on the people it is brutally occupying

Crime gone down has it

Hasn't she been deselected because she liked a tweet which made reference to pro-Israel lobbies controlling institutions?

I don't think it should be enough to bar someone given she apologised, but rightly or wrongly Labour are seen to have an antisemite problem, and I imagine they're being very strict with this to try and dispel that image.

She's been deselected for liking this skit

https://x.com/mehdirhasan/status/1795972940850167948

The person who wrote that skit has even taken the pisss for the decision made.

And he's facking Jewish too

An awful lot of those Jewish anti-semites around atm.

Faiza Shaheen, the candidate blocked by Labour from standing in Chingford and Woodford Green, has announced she will challenge the decision in the courts, claiming she has faced “a systematic campaign of racism, Islamophobia and bullying”.

hope she wipes the floor with these disguised Tory priicks

Anti semite problem was entirely made up in the media to stop Corbyn. Tories are actually racist and Islamophobic and people didn't seem to care for many years.
