Corbyn and McDonnell were filmed walking out of the police station post-interview yesterday. Jeremy wasn’t feeling talkative…
Co-conspirators may have seen the footage from yesterday’s pro-Palestine march in London. The march broke through a police line on its way to the BBC…
Corbyn and McDonnell were photographed at the front of the rally, at which 77 people were arrested. The pair will voluntarily be interviewed at a police station in London this afternoon as the Met investigates what it claims was co-ordinated effort to breach the terms agreed with the march’s organisers. Ten others have been charged with public order offences…
Corbyn had hit back at the Met’s description of events, claiming he was “part of a delegation of speakers, who wished to peacefully carry and lay flowers in memory of children in Gaza who had been killed. This was facilitated by the police. We did not force our way through.” McDonnell was suspended from Labour back in July – he is due to be readmitted right about now…
Labour MP John McDonnell isn’t doing Starmer any favours in his attempts to make the party look serious about tackling rape gangs. Guido’s seen an email McDonnell circulated to all Labour MPs last night from a left-wing lawyer downplaying the scandal, describing the rape gangs as “alleged.” The email begins:
“I thought I would just drop you a quick note to assist with the debate today and the ongoing furore (Elon Musk, Mr Farage, and Ms Badenoch), regarding alleged grooming of girls by groups of men of Pakistani heritage.”
It then shifts the blame to the Tories:
“In simple terms, this is a problem caused by the Conservatives, who commissioned the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse and received its many reports, including the Organised Networks report and final report.”
A Tory source tells Guido:
“That a former Shadow Chancellor and one-time Labour leadership candidate is promoting loony lawyers who claim the grooming is “alleged” tells you all you need to know about Labour’s approach to this issue. Keir Starmer wants to sweep the rape gangs scandal under the carpet because the truth is too hard for Labour to confront. It is total and utter moral cowardice from a weak and spineless Prime Minister.”
McDonnell introduces the email with a note to say he “hopes” this “helpful” email will assist MPs “in responding to the appalling behaviour of the Conservatives and Reform.” Starmer will be praying his colleagues ignore the Corbynite’s advice…

It’s three months on from Starmer’s brutal suspension of the seven Labour MPs who voted for the SNP’s amendment on the two child benefit cap. Until they are let back into the party – which may take some time judging by previous experience – they are independent MPs…
Some of them just can’t get over losing Starmer’s warm embrace. They’re still pretending to be Labour MPs on Twitter…
Richard Burgon, Zarah Sultana, and John McDonnell all still have Labour in their bios. The rest have removed all mention of their old party. The onetime Shadow Chancellor and Shadow Justice Secretary might need a stern word from their former employer…
John McDonnell spoke first at tonight’s gathering of expelled MPs and some of the socialist ones who still have the whip. He said he was actually impressed by the extent of Starmer’s socialism:
“I was elated, absolutely elated when Labour was elected, and you know in those first weeks I’ve been encouraged. If you look at the stuff and Keir mentioned some of it today: rail renationalisation, the bus regulation, the restoration of trade union rights – all drawn actually from manifestos in 2017 and 2019. But we mustn’t say that.”
Naturally the ex-Shadow Chancellor finished off by saying that keeping the two-child benefit cap and means-testing the Winter Fuel Allowance would be Starmer’s downfall. He stopped short of predicting an election loss next time round but pointed out that this level of discontent never usually appears until mid-term…
Former Shadow Chancellor and Marxist John McDonnell took to ITV Peston to decry Rayner’s “pint-sized loser” comment about Rishi Sunak. He magnanimously told Peston that “I don’t do that sort of thing, I think that tarnished it a little bit.” Guido reminds his readers of Mcdonnell’s own less than savoury personal attacks on politicians…
Speaking about Esther McVey in 2014, he famously he asked “why aren’t we lynching the b**ch?”, he joked about his desire to “assassinate” Margaret Thatcher if he could go back in time, and he also demanded the police “arrest” and “prosecute” Tony Blair back in 2013. Stones and glass houses…
Lucy Powell on LBC, asked by Tom Swarbrick for her reaction to Labour MP Samantha Niblett’s call for a ‘summer of sex’ debate in Parliament: “I personally don’t own any sex toys, but each to their own… I’m not really sure that’s the right place for it, no.”
