In footage shot by the public, Labour MP for Runcorn and Helsby Mike Amesbury threatens a man who has been knocked onto the road in Frodsham, Cheshire. Amesbury had to be physically pushed away from the man multiple times…
He continues to threaten the floored man:
“You won’t ever threaten me again, will you? You won’t ever threaten me again.”
Watchers-on pointed out that he’s the local MP, he responds: “Yes I am, and you won’t threaten the MP ever again, will you?” One helpful punter chipped in: “The MP for Gobshites”…
Amesbury held four shadow ministerial positions until he was dropped from the frontbench before the election. Wonder why…
Is anywhere safe from Labour any more? His whips may want to look into this one…
UPDATE: Cheshire Police say:
“At 2.48am on Saturday 26 October, police were called to reports of an assault in Frodsham. A caller reported he had been assaulted by a man in Main Street. Enquiries are ongoing.”
UPDATE II: Amesbury says:
“Last night, I was involved in an incident that took place after I felt threatened on the street following an evening out with friends.
“This morning, I contacted Cheshire Police myself to report what happened during this incident.
“I will not be making further public comment but will, of course, cooperate with any inquiries if required by Cheshire Police.
“I remain fully committed to working hard for the people of Runcorn and Helsby, and am determined to remain an open and accessible MP for our community.”
UPDATE III: Labour’s statement:
“We are aware of an incident that took place last night. We understand that Mike Amesbury MP approached Cheshire Police to report what happened this morning himself and that he will cooperate with any inquiries they have.”

Overnight the Israeli Air Force is reported to have launched a three wave retaliatory attack on Iran with airstrikes against key Iranian military infrastructure, focusing on missile and drone manufacturing facilities, ballistic missile launchers, and essential air defence systems. The strikes aimed to significantly weaken Iran’s capability for aerial and missile-based attacks, with additional high-priority targets actively engaged as the operation progressed.
Israel confirmed it had struck numerous military sites during its retaliatory strikes on Iran in an operation named “Days of Repentance.”
- The attack occurred in three major waves, US and Israeli officials said. The second and third waves targeted Iranian drone and missile production sites, hitting over 20 targets.
- The IDF said that the strikes were conducted in response to the continuous attacks on the State of Israel and its citizens.
- The IAF struck missile manufacturing sites that produced the missiles Iran fired at Israel over the last year. Simultaneously, the IAF struck surface-to-air missile arrays intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
- The attack was over just as the sun began rising over Tehran, according to KAN11 radio.
- The IDF has officially declared that it has completed its reactive operation against Iran.
- The IDF confirmed all planes returned safely home.
“The State of Israel reserves the right to defend its citizens if the Iranian regime continues attacks against the State of Israel and its civilians,” the IDF said in an official statement.
By destroying the drone manufacturing facilites which supplied the Russians on the frontline in Ukraine this was a strike for the benefit of the entire free world…
Labour Minister Abena Oppong-Asare has been forced to correct the record after she “misspoke” when talking about the UK’s approach to China. To be fair, it must be hard for Abena to keep up with Labour’s line on the state. In opposition they pledged to call the treatment of Uyghurs ‘genocide’ – in government Lammy jetted off to Beijing to meet the Chinese minister who denied it…
Yesterday, Abena said to Shadow Paymaster General John Glen in the Common:
“We will ban China’s economic engagement and make sure we strengthen our national security.”
She must have not got the memo that Labour’s now not-so-hawkish on China. Today, she issued an apology to Hansard, stating she actually meant to say:
“We will balance China in terms of economic engagement and make sure we strengthen our national security.”
Co-conspirators can only imagine the stern words she received from China-lover Lammy…

Labour is this week advertising for a role as chairman of the ‘Diversity and Inclusion Committee.’ The group’s purpose is to keep the honours system “representative of UK society” and is also “guided by the Prime Minister’s strategic priorities for the honours system.” Strategic priorities like fast-tracking gongs to people who showed “unity and defiance” to Summer’s riots…
The application deadline is 11th November, with interviews ending in December. Funnily enough, the last government also advertised for a similar role – the only difference is that it was for ‘Representation & Outreach’ at the time. Who needs representation when you can have diversity?
Whoever put up the new job advertisement hasn’t even bothered to get rid of the old name throughout the page. The old name is still there three times…
A bemused Tory source tells Guido:
“Re-running an important recruitment process just for this – costing taxpayers’ money and insulting candidates who had taken time to apply – is a telling sign of where Labour’s priorities are.”
Woke is as woke does…
Eyebrows have been raised in SW1 over Housing Minister Matthew Pennycooks’s attendance at an event hosted by Landmark Chambers last week. Tickets went for £199 + VAT…
Leasehold reform was up for discussion at the event. Four of Landmark Chambers’ team are suing the government on behalf of Freeholders against Gove’s Leasehold Act, which the last Tory government pushed through in washup. Labour went further in their manifesto, pledging to “act where the Conservatives have failed and finally bring the feudal leasehold system to an end.” Since the King’s Speech Labour ministers have kept studiously quiet on the leasehold issue and that pledge…
One Landmark Chambers barrister posted on LinkedIn: “It was a privilege to be able to advocate in favour of saving leases with a Minister in attendance. Let’s hope the plan to abolish the “feudal” system of leasehold is just a sound bite!” Pennycook was directly lobbied…
Leader of the Commons Lucy Powell posted on Twitter over the weekend that Labour is “quickly enacting” leasehold reform. That tweet is now deleted. Curious…
Pernicious lawfare is increasingly dominating in the UK since Labour has come to power. Love-ins with vested interest lawyers won’t do much to reassure the public that Labour is serious on its manifesto pledge…
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.”
