Corbyn people’s vote

I never did read Private Eye, is it still going? I always imagined they did ‘stronger’ stuff than my little offering.
I just happened to be in Islington, and his front door was open and the diary left by the phone in the hall and I couldn’t resist a peek.

Yes it’s still going lemon , hope you will pen more ?

I think Richard Ingrams wrote the Dennis Thatcher spoof ,
was it not ‘Dear Bill’

I am waiting to hear when the party members who have said they voted for another party will be expelled.

Charlie Faulkner on ToDay now, he said Alastair had not broken the rules.

lemongrove, Keep peeking. Keep publishing.

Extract from Corbyn’s Diary.....
Was woken by a phone call, very early and I couldn’t find my glasses, I don’t know why but I have to have them on when speaking on the phone.It was Len, he said he couldn't sleep for worrying so there may as well be two of us worrying.I started to say I couldn’t find the logic in that but he butted in, saying he would cut to the chase or we would be here all day, and what the hell was I playing at, hinting at a second referendum!
I’m playing the long game I told him, I have all sorts of plans up my sleeve.What?! He cried, don’t go off piste now Jeremy or we’ll be in deep sh**e ( Len can be a little earthy at times.)Stick to what we decided ages ago, the Tories’ll get us out of the EU which is what we want, but if things go a bit pear shaped at first, we can blame them and mop up the votes at the next election.Stand firm, he yelled and put the phone down.
I must admit I felt a bit miffed, I mean I always stand firm don’t I? I made an early cup of camomile tea as I felt rather shaken.Feel it may be one of those days today.

Lemongrove

Brilliant brilliant stuff.

Shane spitting image isn’t still around.

lemon more please , there should be a new thread just for
your writings ?

This is all very pleasing but my sneak peeks may soon be noticed, and getting to Islington is quite expensive.
I will do my best.

He wouldn’t notice lemon, he is the man who ‘doesn’t look closely’,

He’s present but not there you be absolutely fine

?

That is so funny Lemongrove. You have captured him and he certainly needs to be.

Ta folks, but feel I am derailing the thread, so will take any more musings and diary entries to a new thread, which anyone can join in with.

Just don’t stop lemon please

Hilarious lemongrove - thank you!

We surely need a laugh at the moment

Shall we be seeing you presenting HIGNFY very soon?

Loving these lemon and having a good chuckle!
It’s good we can all have a laugh about this.
Keep the balance though so we don’t alienate anyone!
NF would be fair game too.
And our Vince!

I think you’ve a real talent here.

Do think about your own thread with diaries from politicians!

It’d be a wow!
??

And Boris? Lots of material there for you Lemon ditto Bercow and Di Abbott

Oh no lemon won’t make fun of BJ or NF.

You are behind the times MaryE as I have already done so on the new thread.JRM too, and Farage coming up, when I am on here later.

I haven’t been on the new thread yet so look forward to reading your posts there

Lemongrove, I am sure we will all rally round and crowd fund your travelling costs

Thanks Monica much appreciated ??

Grandad 'Alastair Campbell is most definitely a yesterday's person as far as today's Labour Party is concerned.'

perhaps for you of Ye Olde Guard, but certainly not for the young people who have met him at Remain marches, and the not so old either. He is really admired among Remainers, and as said, young LP supporters.

In a sense Alastair Campbell is yesterday's man because it is unlikely that he will ever again occupy the pivotal place he had in politics from 1997- 2010.

However, that does give him the freedom to speak out and tell it like it is, like Michael Heseltine, Tony Blair, John Major, Chris Patten and many other highly experienced politicians with a real understanding of Britain's place in the world and the damage which brexit could do.

See this thread- "Politicians with nothing to lose telling it like it is"
