Labour's Inaction Man

Here's a topical post from the blog site which I published in December 2018.

Isn't life really strange and unpredictable, especially for politicians?

Because this time last year Jeremy Corbyn was predicting he would soon be Prime Minister and when first elected as Labour leader in 2015 Jeremy was confidently claiming that he would 'take back Scotland'.

I remember collecting various 'Action Man' figures as a young kid, but I think I'll pass on this remarkably lifelike Corbyn doll - even though it sums up perfectly Jeremy's failure of leadership over Brexit.

   

Cows, Arses, Banjos - and Corbyn (08/12/18)

Here's something readers may want to consider as a last minute Xmas gift - a Jeremy Corbyn doll. 

Now I'm not a fan of Jeremy, as regular readers know, because I doubt the Labour leader's ability to hit a cow on the arse with a banjo.

But don't take my word for it, here's The Herald's political editor Michael Settle opining about Jezza's latest performance at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) in the House of Commons: 

"Remarkably [or not,] Jezza decided, after the most crushing day for a sitting government in living memory, he would refrain from mentioning the subject of its agony: Brexit.

"While his chosen subject of fighting poverty was undoubtedly a commendable one, it was hard not to think that the chief comrade, nice chap that he is, does not have the capacity to go for the political jugular.

"Just hours after the head girl’s humiliation, one could almost hear Labour eyes rolling in their owners' heads as their chief banged on about…Universal Credit."

But who knows, maybe a Jezza doll might be a big hit at Christmas though I suspect only for mad Brexit supporters.
