In an interview with Equal Times Ken Loach has launched a stinging attack on the Stalinist nature of the BBC and the liberal face of the establishment, The Guardian.

‘The other significant event was the destruction of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership [of the Labour Party, from which Loach was expelled as a member in 2021 for his support of other expelled Corbyn supporters] and the BBC played a prime role in that – an absolutely shameless role – and now that whole political project, that nearly became the government three years ago, has been wiped out of the public discourse.

Has it been delegitimised?

Yes, they’ve rewritten history so that it doesn’t exist. It’s like the photograph of Trotsky that Stalin cut out. The man doesn’t exist in history. Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t exist in history now [either], and all the purges [of the Labour party], the manipulation of the rules and the straight aggression has been unbelievable. It should be unbelievable: the manipulation of rules against the left, the imposition of candidates, expulsions and the fact that at least 200,000 people as far as we know – and probably more – have left the Labour party under [the current Labour leader, Keir] Starmer. It’s not even a news story! If ever we needed a clear example of political manipulation by the broadcasters, there it is. And of course, the Guardian is a joint [offender] in that as part of the liberal media, when those two [media] lead the silence on this extraordinary story, then of course the right-wing press will make the most of it.’

The journalist Jonathan Cook has also detailed the way the establishment, including the Labour Party, have sought to rid the public consciousness of a progressive leader who would have dramatically improved the lot of the nation holistically.

And:

Our party politics, like the USA, is now a choice between a cobra and a mamba. What a f****** choice.
