Corbyn's Cunning Plan Backfires



The Labour leadership is grasping at straws by trying to blame Brexit for the party's disastrous defeat in the general election.

 I heard John McDonnell on TV earlier today saying that Labour were on the horns of an impossible dilemma over Brexit because of the competing views of Remain and Leave voters.

 But this pathetic excuse-making completely ignores the dire performance of Jeremy Corbyn who:
  • failed to campaign convincingly for Remain in the 2016 referendum
  • called for Article 50 to be triggered the day after the 2016 referendum
  • refused to campaign for a People's Vote on the final terms of any Brexit deal and make the case that a second, confirmatory referendum was fair and democratic
  • Corbyn's preferred solution of facing both ways and being an 'honest broker' was completely mad   
The latest Opinium poll confirms the main reason voters did not back Labour was their concern about the party leadership, but when it comes down to Brexit the two issues are inextricably linked. 

Labour's 'Pushmi Pullyu' policy was designed by and for Jeremy Corbyn - a lifelong leaver who found it impossible to stand up for the views of the vast majority of Labour members and supporters.

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't... P
