The only thing that matters is whether they have the evidence to back up their claims. On that Alan McLeod delivers like usual.

geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Sir Trevor Chinn: The Tycoon Who Hijacked British Democracy for Israel5·5 hours agoTony Blair was the driving force behind Labour’s move away from social democracy and its embrace of big business, and Chinn’s cash helped make it possible. According to a 1996 report in The Independent, Chinn was one of several Labour megadonors who each contributed around £500,000 to bankroll Blairism and ensure its success.
Since Blair, Chinn has continued to fund senior Labour figures. The one notable exception was during Jeremy Corbyn’s tenure, from 2015 to 2020. Corbyn, a lifelong socialist, anti-imperialist, and advocate for Palestinian statehood, was unexpectedly elected leader of the party in a landslide.
Almost immediately, senior figures in the Labour establishment began organizing against him. And they were helped by Chinn’s money and connections.
Chinn provided the financial backing for Labour Together, a think tank of right-wing figures with the stated goal of “defeat[ing] Corbynism,” and “win[ning] Labour back from the left.” He also financed the political ambitions of Corbyn opponents, including Owen Smith, Ruth Smeeth, and Deputy Leader Tom Watson. Corbyn was relentlessly attacked from all sides and suffered constant accusations of antisemitism designed to undermine public support for his project.
All sources are in the article. And way more info. This is a very deep dive into the behind-the-scenes financing and the pressure which is applied by the Israel lobby.

Everyone saw it coming from a mile away and nobody did anything to stop it. Similar to now where everyone can see that this is going to open more fronts.
At one point all the fronts might band together with more and more suddenly joining each side, and boom you have WW3.

They could have been simply moved into position. Calling that they will bomb during the weekend is more specific.
Now Seymour isn’t always right. He simply repeats what his insider sources know. If those are wrong then he will be wrong. But in this case he was once again right.
