In the only positive news related to the Labour Party this week, Ed Balls was announced as the first 'celebrity' to be taking part in the new series of post-apocalyptic danceathon Strictly Come Dancing, in a nod to Ed Balls Day by the BBC.
As the official celebration of the then MPs inexplicably hilarious Twitter gaffe, on the 28th April, seems an age away at this point in proceedings however, our attention must reluctantly turn to the slow death march that is the Labour leadership election. As the court ruling to allow 130,000 barred members to vote seems to have all but sealed the deal for a Jezza victory, it is now up to the PLP to decide whether they want to get of their collective pram, and get their toys back, or merely throw them further out of reach.
It is clear that whoever it's leader, a disunited and shambolic Labour party will never be able to successfully challenge the cool, calculated war machine that is Theresa May's Tories. Owen Smith is a Blaritie automaton, programmed with policy that he thinks will unite both sides of the party, whilst seemingly achieving the remarkable feat of dividing them further.
A vote for Corbyn is, despite what the mainstream media would have you believe, a vote for a different kind of politics. As soon as the establishment wake up to this fact, the better.
