The first 100 days of Corbyn will be like Eastern Germany before the wall fell: purges, denunciations and fear of the STASI
- 6 Sep 2015
On Saturday 12 September St Jeremy will ascend into political heaven and the PLP cast into the pit of eternal damnation. Well, perhaps not eternal, but for an awfully long time. And this brave talk about coups seems to have disappeared. They might as well have got Mark Thatche...
It is time we spat in the hatred filled angry faces who dehumanise the bodies washed up on Europe's shores. It is time for Britain to rejoin the human race
- 2 Sep 2015
Like millions of others I wept when I saw the limp body of a tiny child being carried with dignity by a Turkish policeman from his watery grave. The bodies of his five year old brother and their mother followed in this desperate parade of wretchedness and death. They were not ...
Boris has become the Norma Desmond of the Tories & wants his last close up. He could wreak havoc & destruction on Europe
- 1 Sep 2015
Over the next few months prepare to see more and more of George Osborne and less and less of David Cameron. We are witnessing a seamless passing of the mantle of power. By the time 2020 arrives there would have been no need to be a year or so’s introduction to the electorate. ...
What a Ghastly, whining little shit Armani Andy is. Wallowing in self pity and crying foul before the game is even over
- 22 Aug 2015
What a ghastly, whining, unprincipled little shit Armani Andy is. I would like to say that he is a thoroughly revolting individual, but as he has never ever revolted against his party I can’t. He is a loyalist and doesn’t want to rock the boat. But he will shove his nose so fa...
The Maxwellisation of Inquiries must be curbed. It's like concluding that Fred West merely rearranged his patiio

If your enjoyment of Celebrities Bake Their pets is being ruined by strange whirring sounds and irritating distortions, don’t worry it is probably the fallout of Mr. justice Forbes spinning in his grave. In case you have forgotten, he tried a civil case against the DTI brought...
A Corbyn victory will herald a dramatic change of Tory tactics
- 13 Aug 2015
Unless Jeremy Corbyn has been found tweeting in his Paisley pyjamas or caught shagging a royal corgi he will be kissing the hand of the Queen on the 12th September as a privy counsellor and Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. And it won’t be an embarrassment for staunch ...
Jeremy Corbyn should dust down A Very British Coup and Spy Catcher. And hire a food taster
- 8 Aug 2015
Now here’s a little thought for conspiracy theorists. Way back in the early eighties long before Michael Foot’s famous electoral suicide note was even a twinkle in his eye, Chris Mullins was writing a novel, A Very British Coup. If Corbyn becomes leader of the Labour Party it...
David Miliband is a gutless little political prick teaser. His day has gone. Time for him to shut up
- 3 Aug 2015
God, David Miliband is an annoying little political prick teaser. Totally gutless, incapable of risk taking, and is desperate be be asked by the Blairites to come and save the Labour Party when Corbyn is defenestrated in 2018. Well, not even the International Rescue Committee ...
Corbyn showed honesty and class on Marr. He is no longer a joke candidate
- 26 Jul 2015
The scales have been lifted from my eyes, my Damascene route to enlightenment has begun. I have become a Corbynite. Of course, his analysis is hopelessly wrong. Of course I could never vote for him. But what shone through on Marr this morning was his total belief in what he sa...
The end of Bercow. And the new blood sport of Boris baiting
- 22 Jul 2015
I am getting rather bored with this ‘will he or won’t he’ Corbyn chatter. Jon Rentoul’s analysis is spot on. He hasn’t a clue what the result will be except that it will be bad for Labour. The Tories only became electable when they exorcised the ghost of Margaret Thatcher and ...
