A timely reminder from the blog archive that Zarah Sultana, Jeremy Corbyn's new 'bestie', so they say, is a complete nutjob, politically speaking. Sultana supports puberty blockers for children, men self-identifying as women and men invading women's sport. For example, the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif who failed a sex test and been proved to be a man and biologically male. JK Rowling put Sultana in her place recently with a well aimed barb about 'coming for the Queen', but as far as I know the former Labour MP has yet to apologise for her terrible judgment and woeful behaviour.   Killer Queen - JK Rowling ( June 03, 2025 ) JK Rowling pokes well-deserved fun at Corbynista Labour MP, Zarah Sultana - a supporter of the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif who has now failed a sex test and been proven to be a man and biologically male. I wonder if these ridiculous people will now have the good grace to admit they were wrong, that JK Rowling was indeed correct - and apologise ...

If a new Corbyn-Sultana hard-left party achieves anything, it’ll be the advancement of Nigel Farage’s Prime Ministerial ambitions. My @scotonsunday column: https://t.co/CKAX7B0Zkp — euan mccolm (@euanmccolm) July 6, 2025 Euan McColm's column on the creation of a new far-left party is both funny and politically astute - because the only people to benefit from such a self-indulgent move would be Nigel Farage and John Swinney. "If Farage continues to gorge himself on the Tory vote then Labour will be the only party that can credibly stop him. "Like Farage, First Minister John Swinney  would be happy to see a new Corbynesque party in the running."    Jeremy Corbyn was responsible in 2019 for delivering Labour's worst general election result since the 1930s while Zarah Sultana is a fan of the proscribed terrorist group Palestine Action and supports self-ID as well as puberty blockers for children.  Infantile politics (left, right or nationalist) are of course no sol...

I think it's fitting that Jeremy Corbyn's fledgling new political party which has no name should meet its musical doppelganger: 'A Horse With No Name' -  a great 1971 song from the rock group, America

Zarah Sultana seemed to catch the Magic Grandpa Jezza on the hop with her sudden announcement that she and Jeremy Corbyn have decided to set up a new political party. The party doesn't yet have a name, so to add to the fun of the occasion why don't its self-appointed leaders choose a name via a 'Boaty McBoatface' competition? Best suggestions I've heard so far are: 1) Jezbollah 2) Dinosaaur Labour 

I'm not normally a big fan of boy bands, but if we've got to have them - let's at least do things properly So here's a video of Take That who are much more talented than the juvenile, Hezbollah supporting, Irish wankers who go by the ugly name of Kneecap (aka 'Knobends')

After claiming it was a 'two-horse' race between Reform and the SNP John Swinney's is the one with egg all over his face after the Hamilton by-election. Swinney's list of excuses were predictable and pathetic: 1) We did well 2) I've done well (as SNP leader)  3) Westminster 4) Brexit 5) Infamy, infamy! The SNP leader said: “Katy Loudon fought a superb SNP campaign, and clearly I am disappointed that we did not win tonight. "Labour won by an absolute landslide in this area less than a year ago - we came much closer tonight but the people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse have made clear that we still have work to do.  "Over the next few days we will take time to consider the result fully. “When I became leader of the SNP last year I made clear my intention to bring the party together and focus more than ever on standing up for the people of Scotland.   "During this campaign we heard a lot of anger about the cost of living - and it is clearer than e...
