ZELO STREET: JOHN WARE LAWSUIT John Ware Lawsuit - Now The Defence. While the attention of media watchers has been focused on the shameful behaviour of Home Secretary Priti Patel, the so-called Covid-19 “ Indian Variant ”, and Grant “ Spiv ” Shapps claiming he will make the trains run on time (yeah, right), those lawsuits overseen by lawyer Mark Lewis haverumbled on
ZELO STREET: PRITI PATEL Yesterday, after the Home Office attempted to intervene and delay further the report from the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel, perhaps redacting parts of its conclusions, I considered whose interests might be served by such a move. The candidates were the HO and especially Home Secretary Priti Patel, the Metropolitan Police, and the Murdochmafiosi.
ZELO STREET: FLAG SHAGGING Waved by enthusiastic Germans, leading columns of troops, and yes, flown from public buildings, the Nazi flag was ever present. It was, to use the current vernacular, a time of intense and committed flag shagging. Respect for the flag. The flag flying from public buildings. All of this transmitted to the people by a compliant media. ZELO STREET: EVERY TORY IN THE WORLD IS BENT And to prove that this maxim extends to the Government elected 50 years after that film’s release, not only is the Greensill scandal causing ripples of good old-fashioned Tory sleaze™ to dampen the reputations of a lot of Civil Servants and Government advisors, alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and his worryingly shallow talent pool of variously inept ministers are ZELO STREET: COVID SCEPTIC FAVOURITE IS SICK BIGOT Covid Sceptic Favourite IS SICK BIGOT. Among those elevated to hero status by bad faith actors pretending that the Covid-19 pandemic isn’t so bad, that lockdowns kill more than they save, and that Government experts have got it wrong, is one Michael Yeadon. The former Pfizer scientific advisor has been lionised by self promotingTalkRADIO
ZELO STREET: LIVERPOOL MAYOR, LABOUR, AND BANKRUPTCY Liverpool Mayor, Labour, And Bankruptcy. Labour has discarded a shortlist of three perfectly able candidates, all hoping to make their pitch to the party membership for the chance to succeed Joe Anderson, who will not be standing for re-election as Mayor of Liverpool. In their place we now have a shorter shortlist, of just two candidates. ZELO STREET: LABOUR LEAK AND EMILIE OLDKNOW Emilie Oldknow. Emilie Oldknow, who is now COO for UNISON, was previously Labour’s regional director for the East Midlands, and later executive director for governance, membership and party services. She stood unsuccessfully for the Sherwood constituency in 2010. Her experience should make her an outstanding candidate forGeneral Secretary.
ZELO STREET: THE MEDIA’S NICK FERRARI PROBLEM Because Nick Ferrari is a racist. He has demonstrated his racism on an edition of Sky News’ The Pledge.What happened has been much discussed, and can be put directly. His co-host Afua Hirsch had told “All over the world, statues are coming down now it’s time to take a long, hard look at problematic figures that we continue toglorify”.
ZELO STREET: DOMINIC CUMMINGS Dominic Cummings - Go Home, You’re Drunk. While his boss - that’s assuming that alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson gives the orders, rather than taking them - was losing his first vote in the Commons last night, chief polecat Dominic Cummings was rather at a loose end.

ZELO STREET: SUN PHONE HACKING CONFIRMED As all those lawsuits against the Murdoch mafiosi have come and gone, with all of them thus far being paid off before coming to court, the line taken by those in the Baby Shard bunker has been consistent: the late and not at all lamented Screws, they concede, did the phone hacking, but there was no corresponding admission concerning the Sun. ZELO STREET: TAKING THE KNEE After England manager Gareth Southgate had confirmed that this was an anti-racist move, Channel 4 News host Krishnan Guru-Murthy summed up: “The England team couldn’t be clearer : taking the knee is about challenging racism and expressing solidarity with those who’ve suffered it.It isn’t about supporting the politics of some BLMactivists.
ZELO STREET: LIVERPOOL MAYOR, LABOUR, AND BANKRUPTCY The two new Mayoral hopefuls are Anthony Lavelle and Joanne Anderson (no relation to Joe), who are both currently Councillors. As the BBC has reported, “Joanne Anderson was only elected to the council in 2019, Anthony Lavelle hasn't been there much longer and is one of the youngest councillors in the city.Neither of them has held cabinet positions in the current administration.

ZELO STREET: BIDEN BOLLOCKS BOZO While the FT tells readers “Biden to pressure Johnson on ending bitter Northern Ireland stand-off US fears for peace deal”, the Times goes much further: “US President ordered rare diplomatic rebuke for Government over Brexit customs row”.Do go on. “Yael Lempert, America’s most senior diplomat in Britain said she had been told to take the step of issuing London with a ZELO STREET: THE INTERVENTION OF ELLA HILL A Twitter account in the name of Ella Hill has asserted “As a Rotherham grooming gang survivor I was devastated by the ‘academic’ paper produced by a couple of weeks ago, in which she and co-author Waquas Tufail repeatedly deny the role of race and religion in the abuse we have had to endure”.Full thread can be seen HERE. ZELO STREET: TORY MP’S RACIST FACEBOOK SHAME Sadly, though, The Great Guido has failed to do his homework on the less savoury side of this new and “straight talking” MP.But Alex Tiffin certainly has. And what he has found is that Anderson is presiding over a cesspit of bigotry in his invitation-only Facebook group, including Islamophobia, anti-black racism, and a smattering ofanti-Semitism.
ZELO STREET: SO FAREWELL THEN GARY MATTHEWS Gary Matthews. Matthews’ friend Peter Roscoe told the Observer’s Nick Cohen “ He was a gentle guy. He wanted a better world. I am so sorry in recent times he became convinced that Covid was some kind of hoax ”. Cohen went on to explain “ Matthews’s cousin Tristan Copeland said he had begged him to wear a mask and maintain social ZELO STREET: JULIE BURCHILL DOES A ROYAL RACISM Having been caught indulging in gratuitous anti-Semitism (while claiming to be the most enthusiastic Philosemite), washed-up pundit Julie Burchill has gone one better, after news broke that the Duchess of Sussex had given birth to a baby girl late last week.

This is a blog of liberal stance and independent mind TUESDAY, 7 JANUARY 2020 ROBBIE GIBB EXPLAINS WHY BBC IS SCREWED Why, so many observers ponder, has the BBC made so many mis-steps recently, and yet still refuses to accept that there is genuine disquiet about the Corporation’s behaviour, especially in the field of news and current affairs? Who, or what, has driven the organisation’s culture to such a point? Why did the Beeb fail to call out the lawbreaking of the Leave campaigns and put the Cambridge Analytica scandal front and centre? _Le BBC, c'était moi_ We may be closer to seeing why this has happened after seeing the thoughts of Robbie Gibb, former head of BBC Westminster, who has been invited to write for the _Daily Mail_ - not exactly a haven of even-handedness - and has shown us why the BBC was so soft on the ability of Vote Leave and Leave EU to be economical with the_actualité_.
_Ahem_
Before the General Election, he inadvisedly Tweeted out a video by the Twitter account @milkmedianewyor - a propaganda-pushing anti-Labour account which appears to be linked to the Stop Funding Fake News site, an outfit that does not want to stop the production of Fake News, rather than put advertisers off sites they don’t like. _The firm smack of even-handedness_ Also before the election, he Tweeted out blatantly pro-Tory propaganda, balancing it with bashing Labour while claiming “_This is genuinely not a purely party political point_”. Except it was. And as recently as the 2017 General Election, he was in post at theBeeb.
_They're wrong, I'm right_Having excoriated
Channel 4
News and used his _Mail_ column to put the boot intothe Radio
4 Today Programme - how convenient for someone given a knighthood by The Tories - we get to see what Gibb really thinks, and get an essential insight into why the BBC coverage during the EU referendum and after was so lame. _You missed out "screwed up by Myself"_ Gibb asks “_Once the UK has left the EU is it realistic any major party would propose rejoining? The pitch would be: - An end to the control of our borders - Pay a net £10bn a year (or probably more) - Meaning we’d have to make cuts to public spending or raise taxes_”. ONE, we have never NOT had control of our borders. TWO, we may still be paying into the EU even after Brexit, especially if it’s a soft Brexit._Wrong ..._
Moreover, Gibb fails - as do all other ardent Brexiteers - to address the benefits of EU membership. No benefit/cost analysis is done, or will be done. And THREE, there is no evidence whatsoever that there would have to spending cuts or tax rises. This is cheap and crude Europhobic propaganda. From a recently senior BBC executive._... and again_
It got worse: “_Hand over control of our fishing to the EU - Hand law making powers to unelected officials in the EU - Maybe have to join the euro - Be part of ever closer union_”. FOUR, being part of a club in which all members make decisions is not “_handing over power_”. FIVE, those making decisions in the EU are NOT “unelected” - the final say on laws rests with the European Parliament, a democratically elected body. SIX, that depends on the universal defeatist fallacy - that the UK is not as good as Germany, or indeed several other Eurozone countries. Even Greece does not want to ditch the Euro. And SEVEN, “_Ever closer union_” was in the Treaty of Rome. In 1957. But good of Robbie Gibb to show why the Beeb is screwed. It is still struggling to extract itself from his straitjacket. Now he’s on the team urging its breakup. _No surprise there_. Enjoy your visit to _ZELO STREET_?

LAYLA MORAN - BULLIED INTO COMING OUT When Layla Moran, who represents Oxford West and Abingdon for the Lib Dems, announced last week that she is in a relationship with a woman, and now identifies as pansexual, many press accounts did not even hint at the threats and bullying that lay behind her decision to come out publicly. But now we know._Layla Moran MP_
While ITV News told “_Layla Moran said it was ‘surprising’ for her when she started a relationship with a woman but said her sexuality was not about ‘physical attributions of the person you fall in love with, it’s about the person themselves’ … It differs from bisexuality, where people are attracted to more than one gender, because pansexuals describe not recognising gender as part of their attraction_”, Pink News had the exclusive. Ms Moran told the publication “_About six months ago I started a relationship with a woman, and that was quite surprising, because before that I’d only ever had boyfriends. We met at work, which a lot of people do, and we just totally hit it off, started hanging out, and one day after a couple glasses of wine … It was really wonderful on the one hand, but also quite surprising for me in how I had identified before_”. There wasmore.
“_It wasn’t really something I had done before or considered before, but sometimes when you meet the right person, it just kind of happens. We’re in a really committed, loving, supportive, relationship, and I feel now is the time to talk about it, because as an MP I spend a lot of my time defending our community and talking about our community. I want people to know I am part of our community as well_”. But why now? Press campaigners Hacked Off know why.
“_Ms Moran has described how several reporters have been asking questions, door-knocking neighbours and even offering payment to a former partner seeking information about her personal life over the last few months. Ms Moran writes that the Mail on Sunday threatened to publish details relating to her sexuality last Saturday, and that she herself only decided to reveal her sexuality publicly last week because she feared the newspaper would go on to publish_”. And as they were scooped, the _MoS_ published a mean-spirited and spiteful hatchet job, under the by-line of political editor Glen Owen. The headline tells readers what to think: “_Lib Dem would-be-leader Layla Moran is accused by mothers of 'weaponising' her sexuality to 'look woke' after she came out as pansexual_”. Er, “_Accused by mothers_”? The MoS attack explains it. “Ms Moran, 37, has been mocked on social-media platforms for combining her self-outing with details of her six-month relationship with Rosy Cobb, the Lib Dems’ former head of media … Users of Mumsnet have been vitriolic about Ms Moran, with one accusing her of ‘cheaply weaponising’ her fluid sexuality to‘look woke’”.
All that the _MoS_ was left with was to trawl Mumsnet. As Nathan Sparkes of Hacked Off emphasised, “_Newspapers have no business revealing an individual’s sexuality against their will, far less a politician who has devoted much of her career to date to furthering the cause of LGBT+ rights and equality … The decision of the Mail on Sunday … to publish an article attacking Ms Moran based on a handful of abusive tweets on a social media site speaks to the vindictiveness and cruelty of parts of our unregulated press_”. Our free and fearless press’ attitude to sexuality stinks. _And that has to change_. Enjoy your visit to _ZELO STREET_?

WHY TIM MONTGOMERIE MAY BE SACKED Awarding self-appointed guru of conservatism Tim Montgomerie a position in Government depended on Monty doing something for which he is not noted - keeping a zip on his North and South, toeing the line as dictated by chief polecat Dominic Cummings, not wandering too far off the reservation. It seems he was not equal to that simple task. Paradoxically, it is Alex “_Billy Liar_” Wickham, formerly teaboy to the perpetually thirsty Paul Staines at the Guido Fawkes blog, bringing the news which appears to have done for Montgomerie. Wickhamhas the video of
an appearance by The Great Man at a Danube Institute event last month in Budapest. The Institute claims to be independent. But it is not. As Ian Dunt has put it, “_The Danube Institute … is not a real think tank. It is de-facto controlled by Fidesz, part of a society wide infastructure intended to eradicate independent thought_”. Monty should have known, and probably did know, with whom he was associating. His remarks praising Viktor Orbán suggest it. And Wickham gives the impression that Monty’s remarks would end his tenure as a SpAd, telling “_Full video and quotes from No10 aide (though possibly not for long) Tim Montgomerie on a ‘special relationship’ with Orban, the ‘limits of liberalism’, plus Brexit here_”. He then confirmed it: “_Govt spokesperson throws Tim Montgomerie under a bus … ’All special advisers are expected to comply with the special adviser code. Tim Montgomerie has not currently returned to his position’_”. So what may seal his fate? Wickham notes “_code says SpAds can't make controversial speeches_”, but what in his remarks is so controversial that it would embarrass No 10 sufficiently for him to be binned? Ah well. It’s not the “_Boris and Viktor_” comparison. Nor is it the “_limits of liberalism_” idiocy. What might finish off Tim Montgomerie was what he said about Brexit. This from Wickham’s report: “_Montgomerie revealed that he believes the UK–EU trade talks over the next 12 months will leave Britain closely aligned to Brussels rules and regulations, in defiance of the wishes of hardline Brexiteer Conservative MPs … he said: ‘I think there will be a large degree of alignment in economic sectors, and I think some Eurosceptics will be disappointed by that in the treaty that emerges from the next few months of negotiations.’_”. The ERG will, in turn. also be thrown under the bus. Monty added “_I think there will be quite limited regulatory separation from existing European regulations in how Britain is currently regulated and how Europe is currently regulated_”. Whichall makes sense.
Take those remarks and add in this comment from a Sky News report: “_Emergency preparations for a no-deal Brexit have been stood down ‘with immediate effect’ as Boris Johnson's deal is expected to be approved by MPs_”. The Government must be confident of getting that UK-EU trade deal by the end of the year. Which means one thing. To achieve that, the easiest and quickest solution is to take what the EU is offering, remain aligned to the Single Market and Customs Union, and execute the softest of Brexits. This will do our economy the least harm and protect the most jobs. It can be called Brexit, and Brexit can therefore be said to be done, even if it isn’t. Tim Montgomerie has let the cat out of the bag and made matters difficult for his boss. _That’s why he may be sacked_. Enjoy your visit to _ZELO STREET_?

MONDAY, 6 JANUARY 2020 DAN WOOTTON PRIVATE JET SNIPE BACKFIRES Yesterday brought this year’s Golden Globe awards ceremony in Los Angeles, where the great and the good of the film and television industry gather to see and be seen, and in some cases to be rewarded for their efforts. Everybody who was anybody was there: actors, writers, composers, producers, directors, technicians, business people, logistics specialists, agents, and of course studio bosses. But one person was not there: the Murdoch _Sun’s_ deeply unappealing Executive Editor Dan Wootton, who is also a host at Murdoch-owned TalkRADIO, was not. But he was talking about it. From Ricky Gervais’ compering, to the acceptance speeches, the outfits, those phoning in their excuses, and passing judgment on the winners, Wootton had something to say. And then there was the food. He wasn’thappy about it.
Who not? It was vegan. And he works for Rupert Murdoch. So out came the smearing iron: “_This is the plant based meal being given to all guests at the Golden Globe Awards this year. No option with meat at all. No choice. Welcome to Hollywood in 2020 where vegan extremists rule_”. Vegan linked to extremism? Check! And there was more. “_Despite our species being developed over millions of years to eat meat - in fact, many scientists argue we wouldn’t have become human beings without such consumption - to publicly support eating it in 2020 is akin to saying you support the destruction of the world! Wowsers_”. No, it’s just a vegan meal. Dan Barker, on the other hand, mused that Wootton’s Tweet “_might have worked better if the food didn’t look absolutely delicious_”. He had a point, but Wootton was right there to pour cold water on it. “_It doesn’t look good to me on the Keto diet!_” So what? Anyhow, he was by now on to the subject of Rotten Vegans™ forcing their diet on others. So when James Jordan frothed “_Absolute bullshit!! Be vegan if you wish but don’t force it upon those who still wish to eat meat. I’ll have my steak blue please. The world gets madder by the day_”, there he was again. “_Absolutely. And there’s actually a hell of lot of science to show a vegan diet is nothealthy anyway_”.
Claire Trévien, who you can call as she’s a Doctor, didn’t agree: “_if there was just steak, vegans, vegetarians, etc would not be able to eat at all. Whereas (allergies & other health issues pending) a vegan option can be eaten by anyone_” Wootton was by now losing it. “_But that’s not why they did it. They did it make another virtue signalling point to us mere mortals. While still continuing to fly private jets around the world whenever theyplease!_”
Virtue signalling! Private Jets! How did he know? Er, don’t ask. But then The Great Man had to let his tenuous grasp on the argument slip. “_So lucky to see in 2020 with my loved ones in beautiful New Zealand. Getting recharged for a big year and an even bigger decade_”. AND HOW DID YOU GET THERE, DAN? Away with you. Playing Climate Change Look Over There is so very Murdoch press right now. But it is outside the intellectual range of Dan Wootton to discuss it competently and convincingly. But he’ll still get far too generously paid and be invited on TV, _so that’s all right, then_.

MAIL MAYA JAMA SMEAR RUMBLED Maya Jama is a successful TV and radio presenter, and she’s just 25. Originally from Bristol, she was the youngest person ever to have hosted the MOBO awards, and has a two-days-a-week show on BBC Radio 1. And it was after finishing her show last Saturday that she got herself not only snapped, but in _Mail Online_ later._Maya Jama_
That is not an unusual occurrence: _Mail Online_ runs a succession of showbiz-meets-fashion posts every day, telling readers who has been seen where, and what they are wearing, thus promoting both stars and brands. But it wouldn’t be the _Mail_ without a little nudge and wink: what the article on Ms Jama did was also to suggest a connection between her and Stefan-Pierre Tomlin - for which they had no evidencewhatever.
“_Single Maya Jama leaves Radio 1 with Tinder’s most right-swiped_” was the original headline. But Ms Jama hadn’t left WITH him, and said so. “_Surely there’s laws against this?! this is pathetic, you’ve photoshopped me leaving my JOB today at Radio1 alone with a random person leaving separately???.. how is that allowed??_” It’s allowed because the Mail gets away with it. But Ms Jama was not finished yet. “_Recently these papers have been obsessed with linking me to guys I haven’t even met or spoken to, They really can paint whatever narrative they like with or without the truth. Didn’t think they would go to lengths of photoshop though it’s disgusting_”. _Mail Online_ must have then had second thoughts; the article has beenamended since
Ms Jama objected.
One Tweeter noticed the difference: “_If you click the link now it goes to a different story! If that's not an admission of guilt I don't know what is!_”. Worse, the original story had committed the unforgivable sin of mistaken brand identity - “_LOL and they think your LV backpack is YSL_” - so that had to be amended, too. So now the original 4 January article has been toned down to a 5 January version simply headlined “_Maya Jama looks edgy in a bodycon dress teamed with an aviator jacket and a beanie as she leaves BBC Radio One_”, and stressing that “_The presenter was seen chatting on her phone as she strolled along in her all-black ensemble with Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 29, following on behind her_”. None of that “_with_” this time. But why did _Mail Online_ even bother amending the article? Ah well. That would not have been caused by any threat to take them to press non-regulator IPSO - which would have taken months and probably got Ms Jama nowhere - but because this latest casual smear has been brought to the notice of campaign group Hacked Off. “_Sorry to hear about this Maya - we offer advice and guidance to victims of press abuse. If you need any help at all, please do get in touch_” was the HO advice. And Danielle Hindley, whose business and personal life was seriously harmed by a _Mail on Sunday_ hit job, as _ZELO STREET_ regulars will know,
added “_100% contact Hacked Off babe. Having personally been a victim of the Mail they helped me so much_”. Quite. Maya Jama needs to make an example of _Mail Online_, by whatever means she chooses. Because if she doesn’t, they’ll just carry on smearing. _It’s all they know_. Enjoy your visit to _ZELO STREET_?

SUNDAY, 5 JANUARY 2020 LEWIS GOODALL - NEXT PAWN IN TORY BBC WAR Even before last month’s General Election, alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was letting it be known that the Tories’ reward for all those BBC slips-and-errors-honestly would be to turn on the Corporation and use it as a whipping boy. The licence fee settlement, which lasts way beyond the period of a five-year Parliament, was perhaps going to be revisited as part of Bozo The Clown’s New Populism™. _Lewis Goodall - latest target of vindictive Tories_ The first sign that the Tories were not just bluffing came when Bozo’s new Government decided it would boycott the Radio 4 _Today_ Programme, making the announcement the weekend after the election. As the _Guardian_ reported at the time,
“_Downing Street is threatening the future of the BBC by insisting it is seriously considering decriminalising non-payment of the licence fee, while boycotting Radio 4’s Today programme over the broadcaster’s supposed anti-Tory bias_”. Anti-Tory bias? Are theykidding?
More like the softball interviews handed to leading Tories were now deemed not to be softball enough. Meanwhile, _Daily Mail_ pundit Dominic Lawson had signposted the next front to be opened up in the Tories’ anti-Beeb Blitzkrieg as he sneeringly attacked Lewis Goodall, whose return to the Corporation from Sky News had justbeen announced.
_Press Gazette_ had announced in September that “_Sky News political correspondent Lewis Goodall is joining Newsnight as the nightly BBC Two current affairs show’s policy editor. Goodall left the BBC, where he was a producer and reporter for more than four years, to join Sky in 2017. He joins Newsnight in November this year_”. Lawson’s take was ominous. “_This over-excited twerp (on a Guardian writers' profile page, Goodall was previously described as a 'Labour activist') has been snapped up by the BBC to become the 'Policy Editor' of Newsnight … No wonder senior Tory ministers are increasingly unwilling to appear on the current affairs programmes of our licence-fee fundedbroadcaster_”.
_Who might be behind the assault on the BBC?_ They were? Whether they _were_, it seems that they are now: the _Mail on Sunday_, as reliable a Tory conduit as any, has today told readers “_The BBC faced a fresh Government boycott last night after handing a plum job on Newsnight to a former Labour activist who likened Boris Johnson to Enoch Powell_”. Over the former’sracist populism.
But do go on. “_The threat follows the appointment of Lewis Goodall as Newsnight’s policy editor. He is the author of a string of aggressively anti-Tory comments on social media … Mr Goodall, 30, takes up his position this month after moving from Sky News, where he posted a series of highly opinionated Left-wing comments onTwitter_”.
That, though, was not sufficient reason for the Tories to boycott Sky News. And the _MoS_ has one of those “_sources_”, even if it is only a Tory SpAd: “_Last night, a senior adviser to a Cabinet Minister told The Mail on Sunday: ‘There is no way I am going to let my Minister go in front of someone like Goodall, and plenty of others feel the same way. Newsnight has been moving off our radar for years - this will just speed up the process_.’” This is disingenuous bullshit: he’s the policy editor, not a presenter, so nobody will “_go in front of_” him. But good of the Tories to let us know that Goodall is their latest hate figure. Questioning politicians is about to get seriously hazardous. _So muchfor free speech_.

AYESHA HAZARIKA - WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM? Among the ranks of reliably small-e Establishment pundits, many of them equally reliably right-wing, who fetch up with tedious regularity on panel discussions, a few have until now stood out as being moderately interesting and sensible. On the right, that means the likes of Isabel Hardman and not many others; on the left, apart from the dogged presence of Owen Jones, there have been voices like that ofAyesha Hazarika.
_Ayesha Hazarika_
Ms H has at least been prepared to talk about Labour and its policy offerings without the coating of dismissiveness and derision doled out by many of her peers; this has been a refreshing change when the likes of Fraser Nelson, Isabel Oakeshott, and the appalling Julia Hartley Dooda are given so many broadcast media opportunities. But sadly she has allowed herself to get carried away in her knee-jerk defence of Labour leadership hopeful Jess Phillips. Ms Phillips, in whose defence I posted recently,
has now declared her candidacy and to that end secured an interview on _The Andy Marr Show_™ this morning. Ms Hazarika wanted the world to know that she also knew Jess. “_I’m excited that the brilliant is running. I interviewed her for years ago & she said she would love to be leader. Good for her for going for it. She’s fearless, funny, warm & has HUGE charisma. Lots of folk joining to support her. Will be interesting!_”. I don’t go with the “_HUGE charisma_”, but each to their own. But then came objections to Ms Phillips’ candidacy, and Ms H went totally OTT: “_Anti-Semitic cranks attacking & threatening to leave Labour if she wins is brilliant. Thank God decent people like her stayed to fight for the soul of the party. This is now a proper battle with good people putting themselves forward to break from the past_”. Why is someone who disagrees with her an “_Anti-Semitic crank_”? Whatever. She was by now on to sniping at Labour’s current leader. “_There is something so very tragic about this letter. Sums up the futility of where we are right now_” she responded to Jeremy Corbyn’s concern at the potential for escalation in the Middle East. Which is a serious business. If she thinks it is “_tragic_” and “_futile_” to seek peace in a war-torn powder keg like the Middle East, then she needs to give her head a shake. But she was already on to deciding who should be an acceptable Jezza successor. “_Alongwith , , & (if
he stands) are all smart, decent, thoughtful politicians who can start to right the wrongs of the last few years & begin the tough process of making us seem even remotely attractive to the public again_”. Royal “_we_”, is it? This moderate intermission ended with more gratuitous attacks on those taking a different view. “_You’re SO right weirdo anonymous account. If you want a say on who’s the next Labour leader, join the party_”. Abuse as well. And again: “_I’m sure your disapproval will be nothing but a boost for Go for it righteous anonymous account. Tell us all your issues with a moderate outspoken brave woman. Let’s hear it!_” The all-knowing Ms Azareka then added “_Temptation is to pivot too far one way which of course RLB/Lavery will do if they run_”. How the heck does she know what Becky Long Bailey would advocate? She might be A Very important Media Person, but only gets one vote in the Labour leadership contest. _Democracy is a great leveller_.
