David Lammy found himself at the centre of an anti-woke racism row last night after daring to praise Churchill on Twitter. The Shadow Lord Chancellor dared to praise the former PM on social media last night, contrasting him as a “pioneer of human rights” compared to the current crop of Conservatives who dare to question the current Human Rights Act. Unfortunately for Lammy, the hard left have now firmly concluded Churchill was the nastiest racist of the 1940s…
Among the 1200-strong pile on included Vidya Krishnan, a freelance journalist, who accused Lammy of having never heard of India or Bengal; Channel 4 host Chanté Joseph who accused him of being on crack; and New York-based writer Aditya Mukerjee, who says Churchill committed genocide.
Guido presumes now-cancelled Lammy’s party membership application to Lawrence Fox’s Reclaim Party is in the post…
The Sun scooped Guido on the news that Corbyn continues to blatantly flout Covid rules – this time travelling from Tier 2 London to Tier 1 Isle of Wight for a holiday, expressly against national guidance. Not only was the newly-independent MP “spotted getting a ferry there”, Guido can also reveal the absolute boy’s been absolutely ignoring social distancing while meeting and greeting fans at an intimate level:
As only Corbyn’s luck would have it, he in fact spent the best part of an hour in the company of local activist Stephen Smith, who is currently also suspended by the Labour Party and under investigation after being accused of “antisemitism” on social media. Only days ago Smith shared a cartoon of the Israeli Prime Minister flying an IDF jet which was firing “defamation” missiles at Corbyn. Robert Jones, the local CLP branch secretary, is less than pleased, fuming that Corbyn had posed with
“… a suspended member – you really couldn’t make this up. Of course, he wouldn’t have known he was posing with a suspended member, but thanks Jeremy: you don’t come down here when you could have done as leader, and now here you are — gurning for selfies. But never mind: I hope your batteries were re-charged and you had a rest, anyway.”
Stephen Smith, who posts YouTube rants about the Labour Party whilst naked, describes himself as “neuro-divergent Labour”, which Guido thinks is the first time he has come across someone self-defining, in other words, as loony Labour.
Corbyn must be the unluckiest anti-racist in Britain, he breaks lockdown protocols to travel to the Isle of Wight from London, to hang out with another Israel-obsessed suspended Labour Party activist, though at least the “crazy naturist who believes in socialism” was clothed at the time…
With babyfaced Socialist Campaign Group member Dan Carden resigning today, it can be hard to keep track of all the young loony left Labour MPs. As they make more headlines becoming increasingly assertive against Sir Keir, Guido today brings you a comprehensive guide to keeping track of the loony left’s 2019 intake. Some have already made quite a name for themselves…
All are members of the Socialist Campaign Group – now boasting 34 MPs, along with stalwarts John McDonnell, Diane Abbott, and Jeremy Corbyn. It is striking how many replaced former centrist Labour MPs from Chuka Umunna and Mike Gapes to Luciana Berger, Ann Coffey, and Chris Leslie. Now hard left cranks sit in their former seats – many cushioned by massive majorities. What a stunning success ChangeUK was…
Yesterday’s announcement by Boris declaring a partial unlocking for England on July 4, was met with overwhelming support from the public, a snap YouGov poll showing the plans have 64% public support versus 29% opposition. The left upon hearing the good news launched an internal debate over whether to boycott Wetherspoons upon its re-opening. Complete with #Neverspoons hashtag.
Hundreds of lefties on Twitter called on people to boycott the change in favour of pubs that “aren’t run by a far-right lunatic”. Tim Martin and 52% of the public only seem far to your right if you are on the far-left…
The boycott-happy left missed one crucial endorsement, however – actual Wetherspoon employees. The official “SpoonStrike” account – amplified by Owen Jones – asked their 5,000 followers not to boycott the chain, as it will result in “hours cuts and loss of earnings”.
Not good enough reasons for the righteous left, who are now accusing Spoons employees and Owen Jones of “Stockholm syndrome”, saying they refuse to give Tim Martin their money and comparing it to “like don’t boycott South Africa during apartheid because the poor will suffer most.” Quite. Sorry Wetherspoons workers, for the wokerati ideological purity will always come before your livelihoods…
The loony left has never been strong on logic. Last night a small Black Lives Matter protest was held outside the Cummings family home. Handy for Islingtonians who are more cautious about the virus than Stanley Morgan and didn’t fancy the crush of Hyde Park. Is the Cummings home going to be a general rallying point for protestors in the future? What relevance does the home of a British apparatchik have to this issue?
Illford South’s boisterous Corbynite MP is ruffling feathers in his patch by hiring a former party member who disappeared from party lists after local councillors submitted complaints ranging from antisemitism to abuse over the summer, Guido can reveal. Local sources tell Guido that Tarry’s apparently very close friend Habiba Alli began to volunteer for the party in the area last year, as part of a group of Labour left activists brought along by Tarry as he was working to get selected for the seat. Alli disappeared from party membership lists after local councillors complained about her behaviour, however now one Habiba Alli appears on Parliament’s Staff Register, working for one Sam Tarry MP…
Tarry needn’t have worried about bringing in extra votes to become Labour’s candidate for what is now his safe Labour seat. Extraordinarily conveniently, just hours before the CLP’s selection meeting in Ocotber 2019, Sam’s opponent Jas Athwal was suspended by the central party over an eighteen month old sexual harassment complaint, leaving the pathway clear for ‘Stitch Up Sam’ who was close to party leadership. How very convenient…
