Simon Danczuk’s latest piece for the Daily Mail, detailing a recent meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, is just bizarre. It reads like a Private Eye parody in places. Although he ends with this reassurance:
At no point during our conversation did Jeremy say I should not speak about our meeting. Strangely, he didn’t even mention my articles in The Mail on Sunday.
it hardly seems appropriate (or necessary) to offer a detailed account of their conversation, including Jeremy Corbyn’s personal observations about his own earlier marital problems and his confession he found the dinner for President Xi very boring.
This was the strangest part of the article.
I get the same feeling when he suddenly starts complaining about how his local falafel shop pays more tax than the Starbucks over the road. Obviously he has a good point, but as usual it’s argued from a multicultural fringe perspective.
I wonder if he’ll get behind other small businesses with the same passion he shows for falafel sellers.
Now it’s being reported he might mount a leadership challenge. This (from a Liz Kendall supporter) seemed a good response.
