Who's that bloke with glasses who keeps squeaking about the Labour party?

Well, thanks to my estimable source - well, anyone's source if you read The Mail on Sunday - my already minimal interest in that four-eyed pip-squeak has been satisfied by Mr. Dan Hodges.  He's a little chancer called Owen Smith MP and he popped up like a jack-in-the-box when there was a chance to appear regularly on the 'telly' pretending to be a sort of 'Jezza' Mk. II who would be much better at idiotic, Trot-lot, political fantasies than 'Jezza' himself.  Yeeeeeees, quite!

Mr. Hodges, who knows this pathetic little show-off better than me, describes him as "spineless, incoherent, incompetent", well, to be accurate that was Mr. Hodges' description of Owen's campaign but one senses that it fits the man, himself, beautifully.  In Owen's pathetic attempt to out-Jezz 'Jezza', he made desperate attempts to distance himself from anything 'Blairite' which has an element of truth in it but only because:

To be fair, when Smith says he was never a Blairite, I believe him. But that’s because by the time he was elected an MP, Tony Blair was long gone. If Smith had been an MP when Blair was leader, he would have been a Blairite. Under Brown, he’d have been a Brownite. As it was, when he was elected in 2010, he became a Milibite.

And now, in 2016, he’s conveniently become a born-again Corbynite – albeit one who can read an Autocue.

The whole charade, of course, is merely the entertainment that will precede the main fight.  'Jezza' will win and the Labour party will become a sort of Polytechnic Trot-lot Faction.  Then the emphasis will shift to 'the sensibles' - oh, alright then, 'the fairly sensibles'.  What will they do?  Have they made their plans?  Are they ready to act together?  'Dunno', I will have to wait for Mr. Hodges to tell me!

Nah. That's Elvis Costello.

Dammit, you're right, he's a dead-ringer!

So if Oily Smith wins Labour will only replace one incompetent trot with another incompetent faux trot. What a fine mess Labour is in. Whoever wins the Conservatives will have a field day and Labour will never be the same again. It could be that Labour will be replaced as the official opposition by it's sister party the Cooperative because of mass defections. That will be good look how well they ran their bank.
