DEATH CULT 196

We know the identity of the 291 Labour MPs who backed Tonia Antoniazzi's depraved abortion amendment and we also know the 224 who backed Kim Leadbeater's euthanasia bill last week.  We have now compiled the list of 196 MPs who backed both pieces of legislation, including 13 Scottish Labour MPs - despite the fact neither statute would apply in Scotland.

ODDS SHORTENING ON BREXIT DEAL

The bookies now have Boris Johnson's revised withdrawal agreement passing tomorrow as 'odds on'.  Ladbrokes and Coral have the ayes at 8/11, while Betfred and Paddy Power have 4/6.  There's clearly not much in it as the same bookies have the deal failing at evens (Ladbrokes/Coral), 11/10 (Paddy Power) and 6/5 (Betfred).  However, all major bookmakers report that odds of the deal passing are shortening and odds of it failing are drifting, albeit it's worth noting that this doesn't take into account potentially fatal amendments that would pave the way for another Brexit delay.

The shortening of odds may have something to do with the tiny trickle of Labour MPs voicing their support for the deal throughout the afternoon and into this evening.  With the DUP and every opposition party opposed to the deal, Boris will need as many Labour rebels as possible to get his deal through.  Labour MPs who have either indicated or are expected to vote in favour of the agreement are as follows:

Ronnie Campbell
Sarah Champion (expected)
Jim Fitzpatrick (expected)
Caroline Flint (expected)
John Mann
Melanie Onn

Others who are keeping their cards close to their chest include Kevin Barron, Gloria De Piero, Stevie Kinnock, Stephanie Peacock, Ruth Smeeth, Gareth Snell and Graham Stringer.

Several independents are also undeclared, but it's highly likely that Ian Austin, Frank Field and Kelvin Hopkins will back the government.

Threats such as this one will have no impact at all on the way that I vote.

But I do have a question for Jon, as a vocal supporter of local member led democracy, why did you think it was appropriate to not shortlist ANY local members for the upcoming selection in Rother Valley? https://t.co/og4o7kjtyM

My constituent Graham Norman just came to my surgery. He is a lifelong Unite member who voted Leave. He begged me to vote for a deal tomorrow. I haven’t decided what I’ll do but when I look at some people’s comments on twitter calling people like him a Tory - I despair pic.twitter.com/D46z07KHwb

And here is Jason, another Ashfield Labour member who voted to Leave. He is just as much of a socialist as those Labour members who voted to Remain. https://t.co/UuAs53q73U

— Gloria De Piero (@GloriaDePiero) October 18, 2019

Every single one of these MPs have faced the full keyboard tapping fury of anti-Brexit Labour activists and Remainers at large.  The bile and hate that has spewed forth will hopefully toughen their resolve, but we don't have long to wait now.  One thing is for sure - if biased Bercow and his Remain Alliance have anything to do with it, proceedings will be far from simple.

THE LABOUR 19

Nineteen Labour MPs have written to the EU imploring that they come to an agreement with our government as "the British people have become exasperated with Parliamentary deadlock".  Well, they're not wrong there!  The letter, addressed to Jean-Claude Juncker (and a copy also sent to Donald Tusk), can be seen below.  Click to enlarge.

The letter has been denounced by Labour Remainers who are furious that Labour MPs - elected on a manifesto that stated that "Labour accepts the referendum result" - should have the barefaced cheek and audacity to uphold said result and party manifesto!  "What planet are you all on" blasts 

@annikahjelmskog.  "Gobsmacked and very scared this is coming from Labour MPs elected on a Corbyn manifesto" moans @linda_whyman, apparently oblivious to the actual manifesto they were elected on.  "You don't speak for me or most Labour supporters" says @fliss59, obviously forgetting that an overwhelming number of Labour constituencies voted Leave.

The nineteen MPs who signed the above letter are as follows, including constituency and Leave/Remain vote.

Kevin Barron (Rother Valley) 67% Leave

Sarah Champion (Rotherham) 68% Leave

Rosie Cooper (West Lancashire) 55% Leave

Jon Cruddas (Dagenham & Rainham) 70% Leave

Gloria De Piero (Ashfield) 70% Leave

Jim Fitzpatrick (Poplar & Limehouse) 66% Remain

Caroline Flint (Don Valley) 68% Leave

Yvonne Fovargue (Makerfield) 65% Leave

Dan Jarvis (Barnsley Central) 68% Leave

Stephen Kinnock (Aberavon) 60% Leave

Emma Lewell-Buck (South Shields) 62% Leave

Justin Madders (Ellesmere Port & Neston) 58% Leave

Grahame Morris (Easington) 66% Leave

Melanie Onn (Great Grimsby) 71% Leave

Stephanie Peacock (Barnsley East) 71% Leave

Lucy Powell (Manchester Central) 64% Remain

Ruth Smeeth (Stoke-on-Trent North) 72% Leave

Laura Smith (Crewe & Nantwich) 60% Leave

Gareth Snell (Stoke-on Trent Central) 65% Leave

THE LABOUR 26

26 Labour MPs wrote to Corbyn today imploring him not to back a second referendum.  The letter (see below, click to enlarge) warns of the potential threat to Labour in Leave-voting seats, primarily from the Brexit Party.  The MPs explicitly state that "Brexit must happen.  The UK must leave..."

There are only two Brexiteers among the signatures (Mann, Skinner), the overwhelming majority being Remainers who are trying desperately to save their own Parliamentary skins.  How else to explain the presence of Stephen Kinnock, a man whose family made millions from being at the heart of the EU beast?  Having just seen the Brexit Party come from nowhere to almost snatch Peterborough, Stevie is clearly worried that the Brexit heartlands in south Wales are under threat from this new phenomenon.  Furthermore, he hasn't got thousands of Muslim postal votes to back him up either.

The only MP representing a Remain seat on the list is Jim Fitzpatrick, an MP who backed May's deal at the third time of asking.  Dan 'Two Jobs' Jarvis is also on the list, surely the gravy train robber is not looking to stand again at the next election?  Nothing would surprise in the shameless world of Westminster.

This is the full list of signatories, complete with their constituency referendum votes.

Kevin Barron (Rother Valley - 67% Leave)
Sarah Champion (Rotherham - 68% Leave)
Julie Cooper (Burnley - 67% Leave)
Rosie Cooper (West Lancs - 55% Leave)
Jon Cruddas (Dagenham & Rainham - 70% Leave)
Gloria De Piero (Ashfield - 70% Leave)
Jim Fitzpatrick (Poplar & Limehouse - 66% Remain)
Caroline Flint (Don Valley - 68% Leave)
Yvonne Fovargue (Makerfield - 65% Leave)
Mary Glindon (North Tyneside - 60% Leave)
Mike Hill (Hartlepool - 70% Leave)
Dan Jarvis (Barnsley Central - 68% Leave)
Stephen Kinnock (Aberavon - 60% Leave)
Emma Lewell-Buck (South Shields - 62% Leave)
Justin Madders (Ellesmere Port & Neston - 58% Leave)
John Mann (Bassetlaw - 68% Leave)
Jim McMahon (Oldham West & Royton - 61% Leave)
Grahame Morris (Easington - 66% Leave)
Lisa Nandy (Wigan - 63% Leave)
Melanie Onn (Great Grimsby - 71% Leave)
Stephanie Peacock (Barnsley East - 71% Leave)
Jo Platt (Leigh - 63% Leave)
Dennis Skinner (Bolsover - 70% Leave)
Laura Smith (Crewe & Nantwich - 60% Leave)
Ruth Smeeth (Stoke-on-Trent North - 72% Leave)
Gareth Snell (Stoke-on-Trent Central - 65% Leave)

MELANIE G-ONN

Melanie Onn has resigned from Labour's front bench in order to defy a three line whip on voting for a second EU referendum.  The (now) former Shadow Minister for Housing represents Great Grimsby, one of the most pro-Leave constituencies in 2016 with a whopping 71%.  Melanie's majority in Grimsby was almost halved between 2015 and 2017, so in voting against the second referendum she clearly has an eye on safeguarding her seat.

Melanie Onn refused to back a second referendum

Three other front benchers abstained from the vote - Andrew Gwynne, Ian Lavery and Jon Trickett.  A number of backbench Labour MPs also rebelled or abstained.  It seems that the so-called 'People's Vote' is going to cause some grief for the party in the weeks ahead.

MEDIA TROTS OUT OWEN'S LIES

by Richey Edwards

The recent harassment of Anna Soubry and Owen Jones outside Parliament gave the left-wing, liberal and pro-Remain press an open goal.  A handful of idiots, whose only 'crime' was to call some famous people names in the street, allowed people like Jones to whip out a huge brush and tar everybody.  The 'far right' was to blame for all political violence and general unpleasantness in the UK.  'It's not coming from the left' announced little Owen, in one of his typically one-eyed statements.

Were the people who called him names from the 'far right'?  It's a moot point, they were just tools with which to beat the wider pro-Brexit movement.  What we do know is that some of the most public abuse of the last two years has definitely not been coming from the right.  The use of the term 'gammon' to describe older white gentlemen is popular among left-wing Remainers, primarily because this demographic is perceived as having largely voted Leave.  Speak out loud any derogatory word used to describe black or Asian people and the same lefties would cry 'racist'.  It's a shocking double standard, but Owen Jones himself tried to legitimise its use.  Meanwhile, others on the left revelled in the deaths of elderly British voters and placards seen at demos urged 'old white people' to hurry up and die.  No, Owen, not racist at all.  Best not mention all the anti-Semitism either eh son?

Owen likes to 'change the conversation' when he's losing an argument.

Unfortunately, the largely left-leaning mass media laps up his notions about a huge and looming 'far right' menace.  Out come the references to Jo Cox and the Finsbury Park van attack.  These references were evident again today in nearly all the newspapers, but this time the story was a little more insidious.

Earlier this week it became clear that there was a serious split in the Labour Party over support for the so-called 'People's Vote'.  Melanie Onn was one frontbencher who announced publicly that she opposed a second referendum and may even resign if forced to support it.  Yesterday she tweeted a message she had received that referred to her as a 'TRAITOR' who deserved to be 'gunned down'.  While Onn does not speculate as to the political persuasion of the sender, its timing and use of the word 'traitor' in block capitals, points to another bitter and twisted Labour Remainer.

However, today's papers have been unilateral in linking it to the 'far right'.  One would expect this from the likes of the Mirror and the Guardian, but even the Daily Mail and the Express plumped for this curious angle.  Their case rests solely on the use of the word 'traitor' - because the murderer of Jo Cox used that word.  Yes, seriously.

Why would a pro-Brexit keyboard warrior lash out at an MP who has just denounced the 'People's Vote'?  We are all being taken for fools.  Anyone who has followed the Momentum hatemongers on Twitter over the last few years will know that the word 'traitor' is commonly used to describe anyone who dares to speak ill of the Great Leader.  While Onn did not speak out against Corbyn, she is flying in the face of the majority of Labour members who have as their slogan "Love Corbyn, Hate Brexit".  And they really, really hate Brexit.

FACEBOOK CENSORS STRIKE AGAIN

Once again we both found ourselves locked out of our Facebook accounts today.  The reason?  Click on the above image for the answer!  It appears that merely speaking about Muslim grooming gangs is classified as "hate speech" by Facebook.  Let that sink in.

On a day when Stella Creasy was in the news again spouting off her feminist credentials we thought it apt to point out the deafening silence of Labour politicians when it comes to such gangs.  In fact the only Labour MP to have spoken out about it got sacked from the front benches.  And while we're at it let's not forget gobby Jess Phillips who ridiculed the mass rape and sexual assaults in Cologne as just something "like you'd see on Broad Street in Birmingham on a Friday night".  They are nothing but despicable hypocrites and apologists for rapists.

The meme was shared over a thousand times before it disappeared, here it is one more time...
