At lunchtime Dr Lee Jones, co-founder of the ex-LM network's left-Brexit front 'The Full Brexit', had this to say about the Labour Party manifesto

But just seven hours later he's spotted a problem

Votes for non-citizens eh. So just like the large numbers of Irish and Qualifying Commonwealth citizens who already have a vote then.

Dr Jones teaches politics at Queen Mary UL.

How many members do they have standing? I know of seven:

• James Heartfield, Islington North
• Stuart Waiton , Dundee West
• Kevin Yuill, Houghton and Sunderland South
• Dominic Frisby, Old Bexley & Sidcup
• Alaric Bamping, Dartford
• Paddy Hannam, Islington South & Finsbury
• Richard Ings, Hackney North

 

[killer b]

Birmingham crew suggest they have one standing round there, just a sec...

 

[killer b]

Rosie Cuckston (apparently formerly of the band Pram) in Birmingham Hall Green

you're right, Yosef David (unaffiliated as far as I can tell) has replaced him.

Alka Sehgal Cuthbert in East Ham looks like another one

That's a funny one, especially since getting under-18s on board was a particular obsession of the likes of Fox and her underling Derbyshire and fronts like SCAM and SUN!

Odd seat to choose. Hall Green voted heavily to remain in the ref.

 

[killer b]

Odd seat to choose. Hall Green voted heavily to remain in the ref.

It's Roger Godsiff's seat, and Godsiff is standing as an independent having been deselected by his CLP for being a massive homophobe - maybe they imagine that might split the vote?

Fine irony, as spiked seem to be fully behind godsiff in his particular dispute

Standing for the Brexit Party?

 

[belboid]

Standing for the Brexit Party?

Yes indeed!

 

[Sue]

Yes indeed!

Is that a general RCP/Spiked thing then?

 

[killer b]

Is that a general RCP/Spiked thing then?

yeah, they crossed over into this reality during the Euros, manifesting in their final form as far-right politicians.

 

[belboid]

Using left wing language to do right wing things...sounds like their entire history.

they’re completely mad keen on it

I know. It’s the constituency I live in. The BP, ex-Pram member or not, won’t get any traction at all in it

 

[killer b]

Sure, but they aren't going to get any traction anywhere else either.

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Sure, but they aren't going to get any traction anywhere else either.

They’d have more traction in say, Erdington, than Hall Green.

 

[belboid]

They’re standing in all labour seats. They don’t give a shit about the leave/remain vote in any particular constituency.

 

[teuchter]

Is it fair to describe the Brexit Party as 'far-right'?

 

[killer b]

yes.

 

[brogdale]

Is it fair to describe the Brexit Party as 'far-right'?

fair

 

[teuchter]

yes.

How so?

 

[andysays]

"it's so unfair"

 

[Jeremiah18.17]

How so?

See - their manifesto, the trajectory of some of their leading players and the bulk of their core support...... At very least “hard right Nationalists”

 

[teuchter]

We're talking about the Brexit party politicians. I've looked at the manifesto. I think it's a bit of a stretch to call it 'far right'.

 

[killer b]

no-one gives a shit mate.

 

[teuchter]

no-one gives a shit mate.

It's much the same as writing off leave voters as racist thickos.

I disagree with most of the things in the Brexit manifesto, but it's lazy just to dismiss them as 'far right'.

It's hardly a trivial accusation.

 

[killer b]

She won't be getting my vote neither will Stephen Timms the homophobic Labourincumbent. I shall have to think of an offensively creative means of spoiling my ballot.
