Former North of Tyne mayor Jamie Driscoll looks to have abandoned the far-left splinter party he set up just a few months ago. Oh no! Anyway…
In the “Who we are” section of the new Your Party Corbyn/Sultana website it is explained: “For donation processing, MoU Operations Ltd (Company number 16359847) acts as the data controller. MoU Operations Ltd is responsible for collecting and processing personal data associated with donations made via this website and any related financial transactions.” Jamie Driscoll is one of the three directors of MOU Operations Ltd…
So Driscoll is the data controller for Corbyn’s new operation. Interesting seeing as he set up a party of his own in December of 2024 with some fanfare – it even fielded a candidate in the locals. The “Majority” party is also fully registered with the Electoral Commission – something that can’t be said for Corbyn’s outfit. Driscoll can presumably help with that now he’s parked his own nascent party…
The president of Colombia has endorsed his old friend Jeremy Corbyn and Your Party. Get it on the pamphlets…
President since 2022 Gustavo Petro is known in South America for his former membership of murderous communist guerilla organisation M-19. His disapproval rating is currently sitting at around 60% – higher even than Starmer…
Corbyn has long expressed admiration for Petro. In a tweet Petro says Jezza is a “friend of Colombian progressivism” and of a Your Party victory: “Humanity needs that result.” Unfortunately there are some issues with Petro’s endorsement:
Este resultado le daría la victoria en Reino Unido a Jeremy Corbin, amigo personal del progresismo colombiano, y su partido “Su Fiesta” seguido del Partido laborista, los conservadores de últimas.
La humanidad necesita ese resultado. pic.twitter.com/NhbanFzyyE

The president has confused a poll in Starmer’s constituency with voting intention for the whole of Westminster. He also refers to Your Party as “Su Fiesta.” Guido reckons even non-Spanish speaking co-conspirators can work out what’s gone wrong there. Did they not do much literacy work in the guerrilla camp?
Irish hip hop group Kneecap released a whiny statement last night after the Daily Mail reported it said to fans at a gig: “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.” The statement feigns innocence:
“Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria. Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation’s history. We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.“
At a November 2024 gig one band member can be heard shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah.” Kneecap had its funding blocked by Badenoch before Labour got in and then refused to contest a high court challenge against that decision due to it apparently having been “unlawful and procedurally unfair.” All major parties including the SNP have now denounced the group – one old party leader is keeping strangely quiet, though…
Counter-terror police are now reviewing statements made by the group. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn met with Kneecap in December 2023 for a chat in a ‘hemp cafe’ to help gather support for the Peace and Justice Project’s “open letter calling for an end to the siege of Gaza.” Corbyn said at the time “thanks guys for what you do in inspiring so many people” but has since the weekends’ reports kept silent on the band. Corbo has the opportunity to apologise for so vocally supporting the group – will he?
UPDATE: Labour MP David Taylor calls for Jeremy Corbyn to apologise for appearing with Kneecap.
Co-conspirators may have seen recent content from viral wealth tax campaigner Gary Stevenson, who says he was “the best trader in the world for one of the biggest banks in the world.” A claim masterfully taken apart by the FT…
Gary said on his channel yesterday that the Labour Party got in touch with him:
“Recently we got contacted by the Labour Party, basically which is the first time we’ve ever been contacted by the Labour Party, and they said ‘Oh you know we’ve been seeing what we’ve been doing on the channel and we would like to send some MPs onto the channel to talk to you’ about presumably the economy… I felt since we are criticising these guys a lot on the channel we kind of have kind of an obligation to like let them come on and defend themselves they are literally the the party of government in this country.“
Gary goes on to talk about his invite for a torturous 15 minutes during which he claims his defence of his robust principles on the podcast “could potentially sour our relations with the Labour Party which could influence our ability to influence them.” He’s giving it a lot of thought…
Guido got in touch with Labour who confirmed they hadn’t invited him. Downing Street confirmed they had no contact with him either. As it turns out it was the team running a group of self-proclaimed “pro-growth” backbench Labour MPs at the Labour Growth Group who invited Gary to chat. With no connection to the party or the government…
Stevenson, who struggles to differentiate between the concepts of revenue and profit, might want to brush up on the difference between MPs (glorified councillors) and government. Guido is happy to share some tips if Gary is interested…
Hard left think tank the New Economics Foundation put out rapid analysis this week warning that any expansion of Heathrow, Luton, and Gatwick would decimate the carbon emission savings garnered from the government’s Clean Power 30 mission:
“Researchers at NEF have found that approving the expansion of the airports would create 65m tonnes of additional carbon-equivalent emissions within five years of expanded operation, wiping out the savings made through the Clean Power Plan.”
The NEF also tries to claim that the economic growth to be gained from more flights is overstated: “Incoming foreign tourists were outnumbered 3‑to‑1 by UK residents travelling abroad on their holidays, and spending money overseas.” The bastards…
The NEF’s longstanding director was until recently Miliband’s new Minister for Energy Consumers Miatta Fahnbulleh, who led the organisation for a whopping six years. They have stayed close – Miatta touted her experience in the job to get elected in Peckham and recently spoke at the NEF’s event at Labour Party Conference…
The DESNZ team have stayed studiously quiet in public on speculation surrounding next week’s aviation announcement – apart from Miliband saying he wouldn’t resign this time. Look no further than the New Economics Foundation for their real arguments…
Corbyn and McDonnell were filmed walking out of the police station post-interview yesterday. Jeremy wasn’t feeling talkative…
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
