For some strange reason, top Labour insider and part-time librarian ‘Dr’ Eoin Clarke has deleted this tweet saying there wouldn’t be a reshuffle until May. Please, Eoin, tell us more about the misinformation peddled by the “gutter press”…
On Sunday, Guido reported how Tom Watson had been inundated with abusive messages from Corbynistas calling him a “traitor” and, even worse, a “Blairite“. Last night he faced the wrath of Jezza’s favourite doctor of Irish feminism, proven bullsh*t artist and library teaboy Eoin Clarke:
@tom_watson Are the 'rabble' welcome too?
— Éoin (@LabourEoin) December 7, 2015
Thanls for the reply @tom_watson. Most of the Momentum "rabble" I know, funded, campaigned or voted for you as Deputy Leader.
— Éoin (@LabourEoin) December 7, 2015
Your quote was that Momentum "was a bit of a rabble" @tom_watson. That includes my friends who worked very hard for you for years.
— Éoin (@LabourEoin) December 7, 2015
Compass allow members from other parties, as doFabians (SDLP). Are they a rabble? Momentum forbid other Paties from joining @tom_watson
— Éoin (@LabourEoin) December 7, 2015
Find them a distraction by all means. But gifting a generalised slur that econompasses many loyal comrades to the BBC @tom_watson? Unethical
— Éoin (@LabourEoin) December 7, 2015
@tom_watson That is a separate issue Tom. They'd be humbled & privileged to meet with you and discuss that in-house. Not over the airwaves.
— Éoin (@LabourEoin) December 7, 2015
@tom_watson Tom, your rabble slur was plastered all over the BBC for days. I owe it to loyal friends of ours to speak up for their character

Burnham’s personal Photoshop nutter and the man Miliband’s team viewed as an asset turns on his deputy leader. Labour eats itself…
Andy Burnham is under increasing pressure to distance himself from his less reality-based online supporters – dubbed “Fandies” and condemned as “extremists” by rival camps. As Simon Danczuk told Guido in yesterday’s Sun:
“I’ve been really upset by it, and I’ve got pretty thick skin. All I’ve done is make some polite comments on Twitter and I get attacked by people swearing and abusing me. Some of the remarks I’ve received have been outrageous. It’s sad that it is reaching this level. These extremists are not doing Andy’s campaign any favours. He should distance himself from these people.”
Worth reading the Speccie on how many ‘Fandies’ are being orchestrated by Twitter’s favourite doctor of Irish feminism, Eoin Clarke, who was called out for “bullying” Danczuk last week.
Burnham’s team appears to have open channels with Clarke, indeed many of his MP supporters regularly share Clarke’s dubious content online. A Burnham aide even praised Clarke’s work to Buzzfeed: “Some of it’s quite creative; he’s a big fan of Andy’s”. Here is some of that “creative” work:
It's pretty clear which direction Andy Burnham is pitching, looking at his campaign material. pic.twitter.com/ITG28IZzpN

Is this the message Burnham is trying to get across?
Twitter’s favourite resident loony lefty, “doctor” of wimmin studies and serial idiot, Eoin Clarke, is recovering from election defeat by acting as some sort of internet heavy for Andy Burnham. This morning Simon Danczuk came to the attention of the good “doctor”:
Incidentally, a Twitter account called @LabourAndy has quickly amassed over 10,000 followers by tweeting out questionable claims and graphics, much like how one @LabourEoin made his reputation. The “unofficial account supporting Andy Burnham’s Labour Leadership Campaign” has been promoted by Burnham himself. When contacted by Guido, whoever runs @LabourAndy would not be drawn on whether or not their name is Eoin Clarke…
Wow. Something big happened today. The Times finally called out the Tory Party for their lie about the 2008 Recession pic.twitter.com/fcJFVVyYJo

This tweet by Andy Burnham’s favourite Labour fantasist, “Dr” Eoin Clarke, has been shared over 750 times, including by a host of Labour MPs, Eddie Izzard and Alastair Campbell. Unfortunately for Bad Al, it’s a little sexed up.
“Dr” Eoin cunningly cropped his screenshot of the Times article so it looked like an editorial. In fact it was comment piece written by one Richard Layard. The Times helpfully explains: “Richard Layard is professor of economics at the LSE and a Labour peer”.
So “The Times” didn’t call anyone out. It isn’t proof of “something big” happening. Despite what hundreds of Labour supporters have been telling their Twitter followers. “Dr” Eoin Clarke, PhD History of Irish Feminism, strikes again…
