That Corbyn fella...

He shares it with the 'All Okinawa Council Against Henoko New Base' and Noam Chomsky.

Chomsky won it and it wasn't in the Guardian? Anti-Chomsky conspiracy, surely.

I take your point about Manning. Two fingers up to the US government, similar to this statement to the Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Nobel_Peace_Prize

The evolve politics article blows the lack of a mention in the press out of all proportion, though. I like him much more than many of his advocates.

I googled "Sean Macbride Peace Prize"

Fair play. I wanted to, but after re-reading the article, I gave up as I couldn't see the actual name of the prize.

If the promo piece complaining about media bias has to keep referring to it as an "international peace prize" rather than its name you know it's bad.

It would have been much more credible to have run a story just saying he won it, why, and some background on its history.

My head read the last few paragraphs in this voice

There is a common theme of irony in alot of these "Press silence conspiracy" rants :)

At least it wasn't written in that annoying over familiar reddit conspiracy style.

I did a second search just to check, and the the prize that shall not be named was only named once. Although it was also tagged... along with Nobel Peace Prize.

Still fair play. I don't think I've won any prizes, let alone one for peace.

Anti-Chomsky conspiracy, surely.

You don't want his silly ideas about innate language to spread any further, really. :)

The article also managed to spell the name of the prize wrong. Looking at the google results when you search for it, it doesn't seem to be the most prestigious of prizes (the hits appear to be pretty much their own website or their press releases).

It may be a conspiracy, but if so it is one that his own twitter feed is complicit in.

Yes, but possibly because there was another Sean MacBride who was Chief of Staff of the IRA, and you can imagine where people would go with that...

It's the same Sean MacBride.

That C4 fact check is brutal when read against the original propaganda piece posted upthread.

At least RT's story mentioned the other joint winners.

So the press were doing him a favour in not mentioning it?

In 1936.

For context.

Even more so, then...

More he was doing himself a favour not putting it on his Twitter feed.

Just heard a Laura Kuenssberg report on the progress of the EU bill through parliament, which didn't contain a SINGLE mention of how lovely Jeremy is. I'm disgusted.

what an entirely asinine thing to say.

hey ho.

no YOUR a assinine :)

But seriously, he should get some credit for today's vote. Strong words from him:

"This defeat is a humiliating loss of authority for the Government on the eve of the European Council meeting.
Labour has made the case since the referendum for a meaningful vote in Parliament on the terms of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.
Theresa May has resisted democratic accountability. Her refusal to listen means she will now have to accept Parliament taking back control."

Here's some more on elections, mainly focused on London:

This selection of fluffy stuff doesn't seem to reflect the whole interview. There will probably be a few more follow-up articles like this one:

One of the most puzzling things about the Tory cuts is that they also cut funding for the police--perhaps not to be questioned as to why some public services could still seemingly be funded while others were damaged. There were plenty of warning voices against police cuts at the time. Now even Corbyn can attack May successfully on this:

the Tory cuts

Use the spelchek, Oliver...

They cut so they can privatise.

They issued a licence to access the police database (Holmes?) to a private police force last year iirc- paying for policing is very right wing, means justice is reserved for those who deserve it, the poor- not so much.

tough one... i'd have to say, the best of the iron maidens.

The bass suits him.

So, today Corb's a dirty commie supergrass.
