Two weeks into the new year, Guido would hope our £80,000-a-year representatives would be hard at work. Unfortunately, one key player in British politics clearly isn’t ready to return to the day job.
A co-conspirator was shocked when emailing an MP on the 16th January to receive their Christmas out-of-office message, despite the automatic response claiming the office was meant to re-open on the 5th January. That MP? Jeremy Corbyn.
A lot of mutterings about what Corbyn said to Rebecca Long-Bailey in response Andrea Leadsom’s statement – he does have a track record of disparaging language towards female Tory MPs after all. We’ll leave it up to Guido readers to decide…
Whilst it was obvious what the public rated Jeremy Corbyn on 12th, in light of successive Labour leadership candidates being asked to rank their party leader, YouGov have polled the public to see just how out of touch the prospective LOTOs are. For the first time in her life, Lady Nugee has her finger on the pulse…
To recap, Long-Bailey gave the supreme leader 10/10; Clive Lewis and Rosena Allin-Khan 6/10; Thornberry 0/10.
Astonishingly, all of them are out of touch with the vast majority of Labour voters, with 21% giving their leader zero, and the rest equally split across the rest of the board. Presumably the 1% of Tory voters who gave Corbyn 7/10 are thanking him for their perfect election result…
During the election, Guido speculated on which terrorist friend Corbyn would invite to Downing Street first if he were elected in December. Luckily we will now never find out…
Corbyn has now unveiled his latest shocking foreign policy opinion in refusing to call Soleimani a terrorist – a man responsible for the deaths of thousands of Middle Easterners and Western forces; and something even Democrats like Elizabeth Warren have agreed with wholeheartedly. Is it any wonder Boris has refused to personally brief Jezza on Privy council terms? Every day we must be thankful he never got into power

Corbyn’s astounding and unprecedented levels of unpopularity for a Labour leader have long been commented upon, but a new poll from Opinium helps contextualise just how poorly Corbyn is perceived by the public; being ranked by 29% as the ‘villain’ of 2019 – 1% higher than disgraced – now dead – paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He’s always said he’s in a battle with billionaires…
Corbyn can find some solace in Donald Trump’s easy victory in the villainy poll, taking 39% of the vote. Is Corbyn getting used to losing by double-digit losses yet?…
Boris, on the other hand, received 19% in the reciprocal ‘hero of 2019’ poll, with David Attenborough winning on 35% to Greta Thunberg’s second place of 21%. Will the elderly ever stop stealing Greta’s dreams…
Travelling through Heathrow, one keen-eyed holidaymaker spotted a private chauffeur holding a sign bearing the name of man of the people: Jeremy Corbyn. He wouldn’t be seen dead getting on the Heathrow Express…
There was once a time when Corbynites revered their leader for using the bus like the rest of us deserving masses, but 3 years so close to power clearly changes a guy.
Guido wonders what Greta would have to say about his new lifestyle…
