Stress, I am informed.

So he immediately applies for another very senior post? Again, I'm not minimizing the stress. But it's something I think another employer might reasonably, shall we say, take into account. He can't get this job, surely?

Rupert Lowe donates his MP salary to good causes in his constituency. But the posh twat multi millionaire is perplexed as to why everyone doesn't think he's a great guy. But a Victorian villain in a stove pipe hat dishing out the Guineas around his rotten borough.

You're avin' a giraffe. Of course he can...

It might be worth telling Private Eye about this, if you're reasonably confident.

I'm afraid it would compromise my source. Strictly entre nous.

Fair enough.

The gift that keeps on giving. The greens will be grinning from ear to ear.

Ha ha ha, he's really trying to sane wash her there. He gives up when she can't conceive of a coffee stall that's not run by a "workers cooperative".

Her view of public services is pretty shit as well. Would be a mixture of producer capture and members of the public with no particular expertise who'd likely push their own hobby horses.

Straight out the pages of Viz.

Does Zarah have her own security that will despatch the enemies of the revolution?

She actually said “public services run for profit, not need” there. Didn’t she ?

Away with the fucking fairies.

Zarah's lost Tariq Ali.

Not at all sure that Ali was ever even with Sultana.

Pah! An imperialist lickspittle, neoliberal revisionist and petite bourgeois Kerenskyist traitor.

When Tariq says Zarah 'needs some help,' that can have a number of interpretations.

Ali is prominently featured on some Your Party stuff, and seems to still be in it. But yeah, he's not a Sultana type.

They've made the consumer pages.

Your Party let me down with membership chaos
A reader found there seemed no way to cancel a subscription for Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party

I subscribed to Your Party at its shambolic start and am now finding it impossible to cancel my membership. No one replies to emails. My local party branch told me it can’t help.

The portal requires me to open a new account and commit to another payment in order to cancel anything.

I tried to block the payments from my Amex card but they managed to sneak a £5 payment again this month. My attempt to reclaim the money from my card issuer was rejected. I’m so frustrated that they are helping themselves to my account when they’ve been messing people about so much.

My husband and I are of Asian heritage and have both noticed more outright racism this year. Your Party seemed like a beacon of hope for people like us, but it became a toxic joke overnight.

I mean, if you happily subscribe to something at its very beginning that you describe in your own words as “shambolic”, then surely it’s buyer beware?

Apparently, someone has lodged a formal complaint with The Electoral Commission about the name "Your Party" on the grounds that the name could be read as an instruction to vote, rather than a simple descriptive nomenclature.

It's a reasonable point, I guess, but a better one is that "Your Party" is just a fucking shite name. Apparently, Sultana wanted to be called "The Left Party".

To paraphrase Francis Urquhart, "Left party, what's left, who's left..."

Of to paraphrase Putin's bit-on-the-side, "Die Linke".
