Owen Smith for Labour Leader?

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

You may be confusing him with Owen Jones, who is not an MP, but does have a Grauniad column which is perfect for bulimics - the easiest way to bring up one's breakfast. As an alternative to choking on it, believe me, chucking up is slightly easier.

He does a very good flounce though

Where is TykeMerc when you need him???

[jamesbrown]

He wasn't around for the vote on the Iraq war so the likes of Momentum (the SWP) can't use it against him and call him a Blairite.

I think they prefer "Taffia", but he's already been referred to as Blair-lite by Momentum On the Iraq war, he now says, conveniently, that he wouldn't have voted for it, but he was quoted as being unsure in interviews ~10 years ago.

It's all completely irrelevant though. He won't win. If he does win, he won't become PM. Labour are properly fecked. The old saying about a week being a long time in politics: not for Labour, it's going to take a generation or more (possibly never again, unless they can turn it around in Scootlandia).

Isn't he only just out of short trousers? Does he even shave yet?

Hopefully he won't win because he'll have to give up his Guardian column & I do so enjoy having a good laugh at that

Doesn't mean he can't be a Blairite.

Smith and Corbyn.......two cheeks of the same arse!!

Eagle might have had a chance, she would have taken some soft Corbyn supporters, no way they will vote for Smith.

let me see

Lying fantasist with good hair. Should fit right in.

When he was a journalist and asked by his editor to ring the police to get a comment on a story he dialled 999....

Him v Jezza. Probably more time to recover and have a career than Eagle.
