So old gaffer Corbyn is inviting suggestions for names for his and Zarah Sultana's new leftie-Islamist micro-party. He wants it to be "short, inclusive, and effective in bringing people in".
First thoughts must surely be:
- The People's Popular Front for the Liberation of Bedsitland
- The Popular Front for the People's Liberation of Bedsitland
- The Bedsitland People's Popular Liberation Front
- The Popular Liberation Front for the People of Bedsitland
Bearing that in mind, and other salient factors, on balance I feel they should go with
- 'Splitters'
That has a nice, catchy ring to it, plus some deep and relevant political baggage for those of an historical bent. Come to think about it, that's probably Sultana under that fetching black garb - and indeed Jeremy himself in the final few frames of this famous Party Political Broadcast ...

Looking forward to their Party Conference, and the motion to have at least one trans woman on every constituency committee (except, ahem, Leicester. And Tower Hamlets. And Rotherham. And ...)
Oh ho ho, how droll, Corbyn starting a political party. He offers a smorgasbord, mostly unapproved by the CIA, Goldman Sachs, what's left of the Establishment or anyone with any sense or experience of politicians.
He is just a nuisance to himself and a laughing stock for journalists - even the Graun. The effect, he will sink like a stone or detract about 0.001% from Labour. From today he will have an even smaller audience, just lost those who sit at their laptops with trousers round ankles. What is the past tense of wan**r.

Party?
In all seriousness, there must be a decent gap for an Islamist left wing party. Respect was maybe a bit ahead of it's time. Many Labour MPs have got a very slender majority with 'independents' nipping at their heels.
To be fair, a "Single Room Party" could capture a lot of votes, from the 37 year old with no qualifications in Stoke to all those people in Oxbridge, Bristol and London with a masters or doctorate who are house sharing at 32 as if they were 19.
Trouble is, to get them all a house he'd need to stop immigration dead, which might peeve the half of his support which is looking to get all their relatives into the UK.
Off topic, but is it possible we're at some kind of inflexion point, where no matter what Rachel from accounts does (like retrospective law changes to protect finance companies) the stock exchange counts for less and less, and gilt yields slip ever higher?
We are seeing in real time at Old Trafford that our New Britons nearly all fail the late Mr Tebbit's test. There's a deal of ruin in a nation, but not an infinite amount.
Not That Kind of Party Party?
Labour must be looking at the stats of where the 16-17 voters are currently planning to place their votes, and, if it stays like that, hoping they can't be bothered to turn out.
Farage must be delighted, I imagine Reform HQ sent a few pence of royalties to the White Stripes as they had a few renditions of "woah, Jeremy Corbyn."
With the Tories struggling to turn around, a party syphoning off some Labour votes lowers the barrier for them moving from runners up to winners.
Free Union Congress Knitted With Islamic Totalitarian Socialists
Well the Welsh nats are getting upset that they are planning on campaigning in Wales, so this new party is going to be national, not just local to England or London. So I think it should be purely descriptive. The National Socialist party. The rabid hated of Jews its membership is likely to have just are historical authenticity.
Just adds the last sentence should read.
