People's Popular Front of Islington.

Nah, it's the Islington People's Popular Front.

Beat me to the Life of Brian bit!!

Its the one that a bloke called Bwian was desperate to join. What a coincidence

Splitters

And in more bad news for Labour, there are rumours that Jezza is plotting a comeback with a new political party. As clearly the answer to our problems is more leftiebollox

What do you mean "more". I'm not aware that there is a political "left" at the moment.

And it's in the Guardian so it must be true.

Well yes, the Grauniad has fairly rigorous journalistic standards. For example, if an article has been paid for by a third party, it is clearly marked as such. Stories are checked for veracity and accuracy etc.

There are right wing news sources that do this. I believe the Times has a reasonable reputation in this regard.

Really? You have to be pretty far over to the left to say that.

They are out-Pythoning LoB already. I suspect that Starmer won't be overly worried, in the circumstances. Not yet, anyway, if this is the grand launch, even if he has left his left flank undefended while he's been moving to the right.

 

[Stevo 666]

Anyway, go Jezza and Sultana lady. This could be split on the left that we want to happen.

 

[Stevo 666]

It sounds vaguely familiar, but join the looney left and save your country...

 

[Pross]

How long before we get a headline along the lines of sultana and nuts?

 

[Stevo 666]

In any event, I wish the swivel eyed lefties the best of luck with their splinter party

Honestly you don't. I said it quite easily and I'm centerist / right of centre.
Try it - I bet even you could say it if you try hard enough.

You don't come across that way, but you do appear to be a Starmer superfan!

Leftiebollox says our resident economic titan. He'll be proposing the Torys as the party of low taxation next.
