Corbyn senior has apparently joined Jez’s party. Which at least means Jez is now not the most deluded person called Corbyn in it.

I read on social media that the establishment fears Corbyn's new party. Especially Bill Gates and his secret nanobots if Piers is on boards.

Bumped into an old friend who knows quite a few senior Labour figures in Cardiff and the Valleys. These people are resolutely Labour Left: Exactly the sort of disillusioned members who should be considering a move to Corbyn's new set-up. Apparently not one of them is remotely interested. It's not a direct quote, but "he's not interested in detail and he's hopeless at managing" sums it up.

I would also imagine that they're the sort of Left who aren't obsessive about Palestine.

I get why they don't like Paul Mason, but nice taster of some of the people the new party will attract BTL. One of them takes a stand for the right to call Israelis "Nazis". Seriously.

One interesting criticism of Sultana's there is that Corbyn's Labour "triangulated" too much on Brexit. Did she not know Corbyn's views before? Corbyn actually came round to supporting a second referendum, like the Lib Dems and the Greens, but neither of those wanted to associate with him. The reason for this is probably not "too much triangulation".

More heavyweight analysis. Hopefully this rubbish wears thin before long. She's appointed herself number 2 to Corbyn (does he say this?), and I think she might be seriously overplaced.

It's suggested she's going to look for another constituency. She'll probably show in Bethnal Green and Bow, as that was a near miss last time.
