Owen Jones has responded to criticism of the cost of clothing he wore in a photoshoot for the latest issue of GQ magazine.
Jones, who appears in May’s edition as an interviewee of Tony Blair’s former communications director Alastair Campbell, was photographed wearing an outfit worth a total of £1,569.
Owen Jones said:Think the most I’ve ever spent on a jacket is £50
How could he not see what was going to happen with that jacket, f*cking no marks like the Speccie ( " Oj ponders the crisis of capitalism in £1600 jacket" ) + fake clowns like PJ Watson laughing at him, and then he turns around and bleats some moreabout " the left" going after him - Jones is becoming a liability.
Some believed that Mélenchon had one aim: not to win the presidential election, but to crush the Socialists.
It was a view I took to Mélenchon’s headquarters. A cocky little Brit, they must have thought, suggesting their candidate stand down and give Hamon a shot at the second round.

tbf he does say Melenchon was trailing by some way to Hamon at the point, so it would make sense Melenchon stands down to make way for Hamon at that point... now that the polling has gone the other way the reverse is true and as he says Melenchons camp are having the "last laugh".....the fault in the piece for me is that he doesn't now suggest Hamon should stand down and fall in behind Melenchon -an act which could see Melenchon win. I guess any standing down would happen very close to the day of the vote
It's someone else's house now chuck, which I'm sure you knewIts the old family home, which i am sure you knew.
Owen rallies the troops aka 'Labour's immense grassroots army'. Hmm .
'And here’s a message for Labour’s immense grassroots army. This is your moment. No excuses: every single one must take to the streets, knocking on doors every possible night that you can, getting the message across, ensuring that on election day there’s the biggest get out the vote operation in the history of British democracy. That may make a sizeable difference in terms of how many seats are won or lost. Voting in a leadership election was not enough, or even close. Go out and fight with everything you have.'

The 'immense grassroots army' disappeared in many places decades ago but Owen doesn't seem to have noticed.It, the 'grassroots army' has evaporated, many will go Green or even LD.
