Searches of 'nordstream' and 'hersh' from Paul Mason, George Monbiot, Owen Jones and Caroline Lucas' twitter accounts turn up nothing relating to the latest Hersh claims: https://twitter.com/search?q=nordstream%20(from%3Apaulmasonnews%20OR%20from%3AOwenJones84%20OR%20from%3AGeorgeMonbiot%20OR%20from%3ACarolineLucas)&src=typed_query&f=live https://twitter.com/search?q=hersh%20(from%3Apaulmasonnews%20OR%20from%3AOwenJones84%20OR%20from%3AGeorgeMonbiot%20OR%20from%3ACarolineLucas)&src=typed_query&f=live Mason claimed last Sept sans evidence that: 'Putin just switched off Nordstream 1. 6/10 British factories face closure due to rising energy bills. Russia is waging energy war against Europe' - https://twitter.com/paulmasonnews/status/1565925425624358912 More recently he has been expressing nationalistic pride over Zelensky's visit to the UK: 'I feel very proud to be British seeing that.' Journalist Paul Mason recounts Zelenskyy's 'amazing' and 'historic' address, marvelling at 'two countries with 1000 year histories standing together'.' - https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1623414511012020226 Solitary retweet from Monbiot of a guy questioning Hersh's claims and saying that they don't match to publicly available data: https://twitter.com/Joey_Galvin/status/1623459664334659585 Monbiot then proceeds to have yet another pop at ML and refers to Anya Parampil as 'the kremlin': '@medialens is denying that it made excuses for Putin's imperialist war of aggression. Its first action on the day of the invasion was to retweet the falsehoods being used by the Kremlin to justify its war against Ukraine. [image of ML retweeting Anya Parampil, undated but clipped 2 hours after the RT, so Monbiot was clearly hoarding ammo to throw at them later: 'Ukraine's sovereignty ended in 2014 when the US overthrew its democratically elected leader in an illegal coup and installed a puppet gov't At least 13,000 people have died in fighting since then in a war fueled by US weapons and new Nazi militias. This war did not begin tonight'] Yet it claims that its central purpose is to counter propaganda: especially the propaganda that justifies and promotes imperialist wars of aggression. The double standards are stark, but all too common in faction to which it belongs.' - https://twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/status/1623666740948336641 Monbiot having a go at Hersh over his Syria reporting: 'Seymour Hersh on RT recycling disproven conspiracy theories about the White Helmets.' - https://twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/status/1498215908275277833 Jones defending his hero John McDonnell's latest Ukraine idiocy and adding some of his own for good measure: 'Ukraine is fighting a just, defensive war of liberation against a murderous invasion launched by a kleptocratic, chauvinist, far right autocracy. There’s nothing left wing about allowing nations to be conquered and subjugated by oppressors.' [quoted tweet: 'Joseph Attard: 'Nauseating to watch ‘left’ Labour MPs like John McDonnell and Nadia Whittome lining up with the warmongering Tories, Blairites and British ruling class over Ukraine.'] - https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1623691092213342214 Nothing from Lucas except this tweet praising Germany for initially shutting down Nordstream and endorsing UK Russiagate-type claims: 'Germany shows it's prepared to take real action against Moscow for invasion of Ukraine by putting Nordstream gas pipeline on hold Meanwhile UK Government still fails to acknowledge Kremlin meddling in our own politics' - https://twitter.com/CarolineLucas/status/1496098521417666561 Did I miss any other of the token 'radicals'? Aren't you glad to live in a country with such fearless, principled dissident figures? jeers, I
