And he is ably supported by one Jackie Walker, expelled from the Labour Party for being a rancid anti-semite...

Why is Owen Jones considered an expert on the Middle East?

Is garbage.

Because some strands of the media are pushing the “Jones = Starmer’s Labour” propaganda

ISTR that cartoon did the rounds when the BBC asked Lawson on to discuss climate change.

Yep. And it's just as valid now as it was then.

Was Owen Jones always this stupid or has he had a bang on the head?

Stay classy Owen

Man's a cunt.

I can see a pattern emerging, Malc.

I may be fonder of Jones that more-or-less anyone else on these here forums, but his face off against Ed Balls reminded me of how much that age old wanker’s trick of ‘winning’ a debate by refusing to allow your opponent to speak uninterrupted for more than ten seconds at a time irritates me. Factor in the preening smirk plastered across Balls’ face for the entirety of the segment and I’m giving the round to OJ. Not least because I think he actually cares about the subject under discussion, and I really don’t think Eddie does.

If GMB wants to have a journalist from the Guardian on, get Jonathan Freedland he knows more about this and is far more knowledgeable about this suject than Owen Jones is.

Owen once again plumbing those depths

Ten words that spell death for any social media interaction:

I don't care what happens to any of these people.

I respect Jones for doing very hard yards on trans rights and benefits , but I don't think being a "columnist" does him any favours. I noticed when he wrote about railways that he didn't know anything about them. Ranging across subjects with only your political stance as a guide is a bad idea. In fairness, it's not just him that does this- see for instance WIll Hutton recently making the Polish Elections about Brexit. I can happily hear from Owen on fewer subjects, and more from people like Chaminda Jayanetti or even the not very leftwing Sam Freedman.

I'd like to hear more from Jayanetti same goes for Freedman, unfortunetly both don't create viral clips so the likes of GMB won't go for them.

Good lord this is embarrasing



They were five other hopsitals they could have taken them to Owen.

Wow denying genocide when he was 16
