Watch in real time as Owen Jones cooks himself alive upon realising his entire defence of Bob Vylan makes no sense.
Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored yesterday, the Marxist-in-Chief insisted Bob Vylan didn’t really mean ‘death to Israeli soldiers’ when he chanted “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury last weekend. No, it was really just a metaphor; Vylan only wants the IDF to be dismantled as an institution, like NHS England or something…
That was until he was shown footage of Vylan actually saying “death to every single IDF soldier out there.” Bit tricky to wriggle out of that one…
Tom Baldwin, author of Starmer’s hagiography, spoke to Times Radio:
Tom Baldwin: “I think he’d like to do something. He’s very dutiful and driven by service. That’s why he came into politics. I think that’s characterised his time as prime minister. He hasn’t always sought popularity or been good at being popular. But I think he has some of the necessary qualities that we actually do want in a prime minister. That resilience, that relentlessness, that ability to carry the weight and the job really does weigh very heavily on people and he carries that weight very, very well.”
Jo Coburn: “NATO Secretary-General?”
Tom Baldwin: “I think that’s something that he would be interested in. I think it probably requires Andy Burnham’s government to support him in that and these are some of the questions which Andy Burnham has to resolve quite quickly.”
