Corbynistas
‘Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, we’ll keep the red flag flying here’.
Well thanks for that, I’m sure we’re all most grateful. It’s often said that those who don’t learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them. Thanks to Jezza and his backing group The Corbynistas, your happy, clappy Labour Party stands as an excellent case in point.
As we all know, Labour under The Beloved Leader got its arse handed to it on a plate in last year’s general election, after which Magic Grandpa, still maintaining that he’d won the argument, decided to call it a day. After an excruciating contest, Keir Starmer, the second most boring man in Britain (pipped at the post by that insufferable windbag Ian Blackford), has been crowned as leader. The hard left faction suffered a serious setback, with favoured candidates failing to win either the leadership election or election to the National Executive Committee.
How Starmer must now wish for a bit of peace and quiet to enable the party to lick its wounds while he attempts to reshape it into something remotely resembling a credible opposition. Fat chance. He’s barely got his feet under the table and the word is that the Corbynistas are already scheming and plotting to regain control. The hard left is regrouping under MP Richard Burgon and John McDonnell, who are seeking to re-establish the so-called ‘Campaign Group’, which organised Jezza’s 2015 leadership challenge. Momentum (bless it) has issued a statement saying that ‘the left cannot continue as it has been’. It added that it ‘must not repeat past mistakes’ by allowing ‘centrists’ to control the party, while calling at the same time for (lol!!!) ‘unity and a comradely debate’.
So there you have it; The Islington People’s Front v. The People’s Front of Islington. ‘Unity and comradely debate’ my arse. Labour looks to be heading into yet another protracted bout of navel-gazing and internicine warfare. How Magic Grandpa will love this, weaving and spinning his webs from the back benches.
That’s Labour for you. The party that wants to be a credible opposition and then to win back power at the next general election, but which couldn’t organise a cock-up in a brothel.
