Car Crash Corbyn

I find it impossible to stop writing about Jeremy Corbyn at the moment because every two minutes the new Labour leader makes a dog's dinner of something to other. 

Having acted as Chair of the Stop the War Coalition for the past four years, Jezza suddenly decides to stand down just at the point where STWC gets embroiled in a public row over its decision to publish a poem which describes the Queen as a 'criminal'.

 Now I don't know about anyone else, but I would have expected Jeremy to say a word or two about this in his resignation letter, especially after announcing that henceforth he will be singing 'God Save the Queen' at future public events, as lustily as the next loyal subject.   


Jeremy Corbyn: Why I'm standing down as Chair of Stop the War Coalition

I am genuinely sorry I cannot be with you today. I think it must be the first Stop the War conference I have missed since it was set up.

I am sure you all understand the reasons – it is now my job to lead the Labour Party, including in the struggle for peace and international justice, and that is demanding my undivided attention.
I have been proud to be Chair of the Coalition for the last four years. It represents the very best in British political campaigning, and its cause of opposing war, upholding civil liberties and resisting Islamophobia will remain my cause.

I hardly need to say. In stepping down as Chair, I want to make absolutely clear my continuing solidarity with the Coalition and its work against wars of intervention.

I believe the amazing campaign over this summer which has seen me elected Leader owes something to the spirit and struggles of Stop the War since 2001.

I look forward to having a proper hand-over event when it can be arranged in the near future – I gather my proposed successor is my predecessor, Andrew Murray and I wish him, Lindsey German and all delegates a successful conference. We remain united for peace.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
