Billy Bragg remains a Corbyn supporter as truth twisters get to work

Opinion: Another day another anti Corbyn smear or rather another attempt to twist a Corbyn supporters words to suit.

This time it is long-time political activist Billy Bragg.

Tuesday supporters of Mr Corbyn and fans of Mr Bragg reacted with a mixture of anger and amazement at reports that appeared to show Billy was turning his back on Jeremy.

Bragg has pinned a tweet offering clarification on his Twitter timeline but if you are not active on social media all you will see is the truth twisters at work.

"Can everyone please stay calm about the Times twisting my words to attack Corbyn. I remain a JC supporter. Don't let Murdoch sow discord" says Billy and he is spot on.

The fact that leadership challenger Owen Smith is getting a fairly free ride in the mainstream media is telling.

Do you really think they want Corbyn replaced by Smith as he is the best option for Labour, the country and YOU?

​Wake up people.

The Daily Mirror reporting from an event in Edinburgh went with:
Left-wing singer Billy Bragg said Jeremy Corbyn is a "20th Century" man and worries about the party's ability to represent "ordinary working people".​

Mr Bragg , who has been a staunch supporter of Mr Corbyn since he became Labour leader, told the Edinburgh Book Festival the party risked becoming "tribalist".

But he told Twitter followers the Labour leader still had his backing.
"I worry about Jeremy that he's a kind of 20th Century Labour man," he said.

"We need to be reaching out to people. We need to be working with everybody we can because you can see what happens to a political party that becomes tribalist.
​

"We can't afford to go down that route if we are to retain the ability to represent ordinary working people."
That sounds like a sensible debate to me.

Aged sixty something Corbyn IS a 20th Century man obviously.

Tuesday however opinion pieces posted as real news have the following headlines:
  • ​The Telegraph - Billy Bragg insists he still backs Jeremy Corbyn after warning the Labour leader is stuck in the past
  • The Mail online - Now even lefty singer Billy Bragg thinks Corbyn is stuck in the past as Labour leader defies public fury to join protest by rail unions
  • Rupert Murdoch's The Times - Corbyn is stuck in the last century says Bragg
Once again a tangled web of spin is being woven.

Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch gifted the Tories the 2015 General Election with a little help from we the people.

Are you going to let him gift the Labour leadership to Owen Smith?

Owen Jones was the mainstream media's first blood with a badly timed over promoted opinion piece.

Don't let Bragg become second blood.

I was with @billybragg as he made his comment about Corbyn, clearly in support. Who'd guess a Murdoch paper might twist the truth like that?
