Twitter searches of Gary Younge, George Monbiot, Seumas Milne & Naomi Klein's accounts turn up lots of pally banter and RTs: https://twitter.com/search?q=owen%20jones%20(from%3Agaryyounge%20OR%20from%3AGeorgeMonbiot%20OR%20from%3ASeumasMilne%20OR%20from%3ANaomiAKlein)&src=typed_query Monbiot said Jones did 'good work' by 'calling out #antisemitism on the left', and 'It pains me greatly to say this, but @OwenJones84's analysis of Corbyn's failures and what needs to happen is right'. He was also 'pleased to see' Jones assert that 'social media abounds with [Assad and Putin] apologists' as he'd been 'arguing with the blinkered people he's talking about all week'. Naomi Klein said it was 'great talking w/ my pal @OwenJones84 about how to break the jobs vs. environment fake debate and win a global #GreenNewDeal' One hint of criticism is Seumas Milne responding to ML's question of whether Milne, Monbiot or Jones would respond to Nafeez Ahmed's claim of the graun's 'grevious censorship', to which Milne replied: 'Yes, we have 95% union organisation at Guardian/Observer (where I'm NUJ chair) & will follow up' Anything happen after that? Not that I heard about... Gary Younge seems to mostly be making bantery-y jokes about Jones' hair. Don't think Chomsky has an account. John Pilger's comes up with no results. Not in the club obviously... I
