Corbyn’s peace talk is cheap

-

TRIUMPHANT Jeremy Corbyn’s talk about ending the Labour mud-slinging after his victory is just that – talk. The real Jeremy was caught by an undercover film crew mocking his failed leadership rival Owen Smith’s call for peace negotiatio­ns with Islamic State terrorists. ‘Where’s the Isis office for the negotiatio­ns? Have they got one on Bond Street or something?’ smirked saintly Corbyn.

LABOUR activists are taking bets on whether Keith Vaz will shrug off his recent rent-boy scandal and roll up as the star guest at tonight’s ‘diversity nite’, as billed on the conference agenda. Seasoned party watchers predict the Labour MP will be there. ‘He had the front to turn up at last week’s NEC meeting and got a round of applause when he walked in,’ said one. ‘He must think all is forgiven.’

CORBYN critic and karaoke fan Michael Dugher is skipping part of tomorrow’s conference sessions to deliver a personal tribute to his beloved Beatles at the world-famous Cavern Club in Liverpool. The MP will belt out 30 minutes of Fab Four favourites on request, with party moderates suggesting Help! and Corbynista­s predictabl­y preferring Back In The USSR. Anyone for Come Together…?
