Having warmed up with "Starmer should be locked up in The Hague", Zarah's really hit her stride now.

This is someone who simply wasn't ready to be an MP. She isn't now, let alone 6 years ago.

I see they're trying to break the mould by trying a dead dog strategy.

Independent MP Ayoub Khan has told PoliticsHome he was once forced to kill a dog with his hands to save the life of a baby.

Khan, who was elected at last year's general election on a wave of anger over Gaza, helped form the Independent Alliance of MPs along with other pro-Gaza Independents and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

He is now part of the process of founding 'Your Party', a new political party, with Corbyn and former Labour MP Zarah Sultana. Two of his Independent Alliance colleagues, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed, have recently quit the project amid tensions with Sultana.

The 52-year-old MP for Birmingham Perry Barr spoke to PoliticsHome at Your Party's inaugural conference in Liverpool, which has been dominated by open factional infighting between supporters of Corbyn and Sultana.

In an exchange about his life before entering Westminster politics, Khan, a former councillor, described a situation he once found himself in, whereby he decided it was necessary to restrain a dog to save the life of a baby, which resulted in the dog’s death.

They've apparently decided to go for a "collective leadership model" with a "lay" party chair, who must not be an MP .

Interesting that they're going for a mode of leadership that the Green Party recently dropped in favour of a conventional single leader - and saw a massive increase in their poll ratings.

In the film "Braveheart" (made by a horrific anti-semitic bigoted nut job, but bear with me), Wallace's supposed childhood friend, speaking disdainfully of the Scottish nobles who are prevaricating about how best to see off/appease Edward Longshanks, says "They couldnae agree on the colour of shite". Somehow, I am reminded of that line .......
