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…
Ofcom has received 16,812 complaints for the Good Morning Britain show aired August 5th which saw presenter Ed Balls giving his wife Yvette Cooper an easy ride, as well as a controversial interview with Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana. That’s nearly double last year’s most complained about show, which saw over 8,800 complaints for Dan Wootton’s GB News interview with Laurence Fox…
Like Guido, viewers were more than a little shocked to see the husband and wife exchange that didn’t exactly see Balls’ doing his usual “over the top” bit to the home secretary, let alone any hard-hitting questions. Ofcom are usually happy to wrap GB News and other right-leaning outlets on the knuckles. Will they do the same over Mr. and Mrs. Cooper?
Vogue has now published its gushing meetup with the thirteen female Labour MPs it deems are “set to redefine what power means in modern Britain.” Hilariously 20% of them aren’t even Labour MPs any more…
Hard left MPs Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana have already been kicked out of the party by Starmer for rebelling over child benefit. Vogue singles out now-independent Begum because she’s “Britain’s first hijab-wearing politician”…
Corbynite Bell Ribeiro-Addy’s primary contribution to the election was claiming Sunak’s “entire election campaign is going to be based on racism” – she spends the rest of her time heading up the APPG for “Afrikan Reparations.” Hard-left Corbyn fan girl MP Nadia Whittome mostly complains about NHS ‘privatisation’ in order to rehash arguments from 2019. If Vogue is to be believed the Socialist Campaign Group has its grip on the levers of power…
The ever-opinionated Zarah Sultana MP isn’t going to great efforts to be brought back into the Labour fold after her six-month suspension for voting against the two child benefit cap. The bleeding heart liberal pinned this to her profile yesterday:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.
— Zarah Sultana MP (@zarahsultana) August 7, 2024
A double-whammy of an insult to her former bosses. While Labour continue to try to position themselves as the party tough on small boat crossings, Sultana also manages to accidentally (or not) say that Starmer and his Secretaries of States are “the enemy of the working class” for flying on private jets. A hypocrisy from Labour Guido has highlighted already. This may not help her cause in getting the whip back…
As chair of the Socialist Campaign Group, Zarah Sultana has a strong anti-capitalist vibe to maintain. In a campaign video, previously pinned to the top of her Twitter profile, Zarah railed against political greed, saying “some MPs are just in it for themselves”. Zarah is different: She will “Never Take a Penny From Corporate Donors”.
Guido therefore was surprised to see her entry in the register of interests. Zarah enjoyed match day hospitality to the value of £700 courtesy of Fenway Sports Group Holdings LLC at her beloved Liverpool Football Club. As much as Liverpool supporters might wish to believe the club is a workers’ co-operative, they’re actually owned by a US headquartered multinational corporation, Fenway Sports Group Holdings LLC.
Controlled by billionaire investors, the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is an American multinational sports holding conglomerate which owns baseball team the Boston Red Sox, the Premier League’s Liverpool F.C. and the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins. Fans have criticised the billionaires who own Liverpool for burdening the club with debts of millions – the club owes FSG over £70 million and other lenders some £88 million. Such financial engineering at the expense of fans is no concern of Zarah when she has a free ticket to swipe from the bosses…
Unfortunately for Zarah, she didn’t see Liverpool win, though she took comfort in her prediction of “a Champions League victory” in Paris. Liverpool lost that Champions League final.
This isn’t the first time Zarah’s corporate hospitality has highlighted hypocrisy, in 2020 she faced her fears to attend a maskless MOBO awards. When it comes to MPs in it for themselves, Zarah will never walk alone.
Following their last email pleading for donations, subscribers to Momentum’s mailing list received another amusing e-post today. A joint email from the Commie campaigners and Zarah Sultana announced her new Free School Meals For All Bill. This would “ease the pressure on millions of struggling families across the country”. And help millions of families with no financial issues whatsoever…
One problem for Zarah is her lack of parliamentary support, not least from her own party. So, she has had to send the email to drum up support, saying “with Labour set to kick out this rotten Tory government at the next election, it’s critical we build an organised Left ready to fight for transformative policies.”
The Lib Dems get little gratitude for their support – Zara only uses them to chastise Labour for failing to lead the way.
The Lib Dems might want to rethink their support for the bill if this is the thanks they get…
