Progressive Political News

Sayeeda Warsi, former Chair of the Conservative Party Should you switch on any mainstream news program or read any mainstream news articles you would be mistaken for thinking that the Labour Party was a cesspool of anti-semitism and racism, with figures such as Alan Sugar ridiculously comparing Jeremy Corbyn to former German leader, Adolf Hitler.  While any leftist criticism  of Israel and its policy regarding Palestine is spun and twisted to suggest that anytime you speak up for Palestinian rights or a two-state solution is anti-semitic, those who throw around accusations of anti-semitism and racism clearly have issues regarding racism and in this instance, Islamophobia in the UK Conservative Party. There are genuine instances of anti-semitism surrounding the Left, with George Galloway's  "no Israel flags"  tweet during last year's Champions League Final coming to mind - this is was deemed a hateful statement by losing finalists Tottenham Hotspur FC, a cl...

I personally think it would be fair to say that even many people on the Right don’t take Peter Sweden seriously, and essentially every leftist I know uses Peter and his tweets for comedic purposes. For example, there’s the time this extremely brilliant thinker tweeted that Sweden’s public transport system is communist, or his rant on the time someone told him that Swedish meatballs are actually from Turkey.. which they are. One of the first results that show up when you search “Peter Sweden” is a reference to his meatball rant, anyway it’s honestly comedy gold and you can watch it  here . So, if you haven’t already gathered, Peter’s political analysis is severely lacking and should not be taken seriously whatsoever, further proven by the tweet pictured above. Peter views himself as an on-the-ground reporter, travelling to the areas of Sweden which are supposedly the most dangerous, with some even being branded “no-go zones” - areas where the native population dare step foot i...

Admittedly this is relatively time-worn news, but because Conservative MP for Bromsgrove, Sajid Javid, has thrown his hat into the ring to become the leader of the Conservative Party since Theresa May’s recent resignation, it needs to be repeated. Javid has hilariously been compared to former American President, Barack Obama, by Forbes magazine, and like basically any Tory Member of Parliament, he has been embroiled in controversy throughout his career. Javid has previously made absurd statements such as labelling progressive, Corbyn-supporting, activist group, Momentum, as ‘neo-fascist’ and had to backtrack on a tweet he posted claiming that Jeremy Corbyn is linked with Holocaust denial. In comes renowned conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones and his “news” show Infowars, both of which have been banned from more platforms than I’ve had hot dinners. In a tweet, Jones claimed that Javid is evidently part of the “Islamic takeover”, which is something that only exists in the imagination...

At a recent Donald Trump rally in Mesa, Arizona, The Young Turks reporter Emma Vigeland interviewed Trump supporters with questions about the travelling migrant caravan that's heading to the US-Mexico border and the answers are about as bad as you would expect. With Trump supporters being as conspiratorial as they are, the answers given to Vigeland ranged from shooting the migrants to get them to return home, questioning who is the secret big money source behind the caravan to the 'White Genocide' conspiracy theory. Beginning with a Tucker Carlson segment where he complains about how many hispanics have immigrated to Hazelton, a small town in Pennsylvania which has seen it's hispanic population grow from 2% to 52% from 2002. The Trump supporters were then asked for their view on Carlson's Fox News statements. A male Trump supporter, pictured above, told Vigeland that law enforcement should "just start shooting". He then added: "If they ...
