A swift apology from the three musketeers of brocialism after their locker room banter on Labour moderate Claire Kober got out of hand, culminating in Max “Gammon” Shanly cheering “she’s dead“:
Sincere apologies for using offensive language, but I was obviously referring to Clare’s career, as I later clarified.

No one cheered that comment, I rebuked it on the clip you will have heard, and Max subsequently explained why he said it. Sincere apologies for that

Brocialism in action…
The resignation of London Labour bigwig and Haringey council leader Claire Kober in protest at Corbynista “bullying” is about more than Labour factionalism.

If Khan brings her on board in any capacity he is likely to face a considerable Corbynista backlash – it risks upsetting his recent moves to align himself with Project Jezza, such as addressing conference, talking him up in the media and banning Uber. A Khan – Corbynista split just in time for the local elections…
