That t-shirt has been photoshopped – I saw her/he yesterday – I was standing next to her/he at one point -wasn’t sure if old lady or man then either – I absolutely promise the shirt didn’t say that, I’m hoping momentum members may have a photo to prove it.
I found the closest thing to an original version of the photo (the tweet screencapped in the article you posted) and ran it through a simple analyser.
Now I'm not an expert but that looks pretty clearly 'shopped to me (and I'm not talking about the twee instagram-style filter)
e: lol shameless

somewhat related, i've lately thought that a mutual aid and defence network would be a tremendous thing to have. the excesses of capitalism have not been felt this sharply by the white working class in 50 years, but communism will never see major gains with out demonstrating it's real world value.

they've wanted him out since before he was leader, they even tried a electoral coalition during the leadership election (ABC, "anyone but corbyn") but it fell apart due to the huge swollen egos of the fabians

This picture has been all over twitter, promoted by every high level Blairite you can think of, from JK Rowling down. Yet all may not be what it seems.
But look again at that photo. The body language of everybody involved is somewhat strange.
That is because the lady on the right is Anna Phillips, full time employee of the Blairite pressure group Progress.
While the gentleman on the left is Lewis Parker, a professional “creative strategist and social media Guru”. Now if you wanted someone to think up a stunt like this and then get millions of people on social media to see it via J K Rowling etc, ask yourself this question. Of all the thousands of professions in this world, which profession is the precise profession whose major task is to invent and set up stunts like this one? Why, a “social media professional”. Is it not an amazing coincidence that one just happened to be going past, as Ms Anna Phillips has explained it, on the way to the pub?
And this only the day after every mainstream media outlet ran as headline news that Jeremy Corbyn was heckled at the Pride rally by a man who happened to see him, who amazingly happened to be another professional PR man, Tom Mauchline, who happens to work for the Blair/Alastair Campbell PR firm Portland Communications.
I really do find myself astonished by the sheer amount of happenstance in life. Of course it cannot possibly be more than happenstance. Otherwise it might be characterised as conspiracy theory.
...
But what is Lewis Parker doing with his arm round the old gentleman’s neck like that? If this is truly a fake befriending, that is abuse of the elderly. If it really is his own T-shirt, then that embrace and the knowing smirks and pointing are really very unpleasant indeed. In contrast to Parker, who appears to have borrowed that haircut from an international footballer, and the smirking Anna Phillips, the elderly gentleman’s physical appearance raises to my eyes a few causes for concern about his condition, which I certainly hope are misguided.
And remember, a fake befriending, including physical contact, of an elderly and apparently vulnerable person, while making fun of him for social media, is Parker and Phillips’ own explanation of what is happening here. That is the best case. There are obvious worst explanations of the kind of set-up this is.

the sole real reason is because he's someone they can punish whether or not it does any good for their cause
even a pro-corbyn labour mp made fun of their stupid shadow cabinet

It's tv for vultures. It's main discursive function is to breed contempt for the working class.
