24 hours after Harriet Harman admonished Jeremy Corbyn for his poor record on women, the Labour leader appointed woman-beating economist Thomas Piketty (above left) as his new star adviser. Piketty was charged with domestic violence for assaulting his ex-girlfriend on March 17 2009. According to a member of the French Socialist Party: “The details of what Thomas did to Aurélie are quite shocking – they drove her to contemplate suicide”. Despite Jezza’s new adviser admitting “the facts of violence” and apologising, the charges were dropped at the request of the victim. Corbyn and McDonnell say they are “delighted” Piketty is joining their team…

Labour now have:

• a Hamas-apologist leader
• an IRA-sympathising Shadow Chancellor
• an arsonist education spokesman
• a rioting political adviser
• a death-threatening aide
• and a woman-beating economics adviser

Corbynistas will cry that these are smears, but they are all true…
