| Chairman Mo |
In the next few days, you should be receiving your ballot
papers for the Labour Party leadership contest. I wanted to write to you to
explain why I absolutely believe that Andy Burnham is the right choice.
This election is now a contest between two big visions for
the future of our Party and our country.
I've worked closely with Andy and we know he has what it
takes to lead our Party; someone who is Labour through and through, who can
unite us and who can win back the support that we’ve lost.
Andy’s vision is one that our movement can believe in. His
manifesto offers credible economic alternative based on a high-wage,
high-skilled economy. An economy that drives growth through a new industrial
strategy, where unions are partners, not demonised by government. A truly
comprehensive education system with opportunity for every child that isn't
determined by the postcode of the bed they are born in. An ambitious
house-building programme to ensure that everyone has an affordable home to own
or rent. And a national health and care service that is there for you from
cradle to grave, with social care full integrated into the NHS.
This is a vision built on true Labour values. It can win in
2020 and deliver the Labour Government that our country so desperately needs.
Repeated polls have shown that Andy is the only candidate who Labour voters and
the general public will get behind.
As a council leader, I have seen first-hand what five years
of Tory policies have done to the capital - we can’t go on opening more food
banks than schools. We need a Leader who can take the Tories to task, fight for
Labour values and deliver a Labour victory. That leader is Andy. So let’s unite
together, move forward and move our focus to beating our real opponents: the
Tories.
Will you say you’re with Andy and be part of the change?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Best wishes,

What does 'Labour through and through' mean? And who is defining the term?
Blindingly obvious that Mo didn't write that himself. Mind you, his speeches to full council were always written by someone else.
That's Burnham's chances buggered then.
Can we get Pavey and Gilbert to do one for Kendall and Cooper?

"I've worked closely with Andy" coming from the leader of Brent Labour must be enough to sound the death knell of the poor chap's chances.
I've worked closely with Cara Davani, Christine Gilbert, Anddrew Potts and other such highly reputable individuals........
Well im sure his family might buy that.
Dreadful someone was paid to abuse superlatives like that.
Where did you get that photo of Cllr. Butt, Martin? It's not one of the usual smiley ones from Brent's PR machine.
I hope you have not paid one of those horrid paperazzi, who hide behind bushes to get the real pictures that people want to see, not just the officially sanctioned ones. Or did you take it yourself, just as he was reading one of my emails?
Philip Grant.
It means someone who can deliver visions, drive growth, move forward, deliver a government, get in front of those people who are getting behind him,move focus, unite together and keep a straight face while talking bollocks like this.

I am quite convinced your e-mails must fill Cllr B with the joys of spring, Philip!!
Ah yes Burnham- one of the ones that voted with the Tories for their spending cuts and more austerity forcing Butt et al to 'dent their shield'. We know where you stand really now.
Despite his youthful appearance ('I haven't had any work done') this picture was only taken this morning. It actually shows the Cllr exclaiming 'Bastard! That was my idea!' when he read David Cameron's statement yesterday that he wanted every school to be an academy and so 'be free from local government control'.

My thoughts exactly, Butt must be blushing!
I'm sure there's a faintly smart ass vulgar remark to be made about a blushing butt.....!
You forgot synergy as a BS word.
He must be blushing if he is dependent on someone else writing his speeches - especially someone who can't spell his name. What on earth is he being paid for and who pays the speech writers?
Well as a Brent resident I'm not impressed with Butt's performance as 'Leader' ....say no more
What authority has he got to be emailing this to Brent Labour members when Brent North and Brent Central Labour Parties took votes of their memberships and voted to endorse Jeremy Corbyn, and Hampstead and Kilburn voted to endorse Yvette Cooper.
Amusing that Butt has made his adviser write this for him as his adviser is vocally backing Liz Kendall

Who honestly is!?
Expel him!
Perhaps they're swinging!?
Well now. If one checks his Twitter feed and Facebook, he isn't even in the country. And he's also seemingly writing deeply incoherent Stuff. So perhaps he's actually managing his own feeds for once.
Oh, and we pay the speech writers.
No really. On what authority has he obtained the membership lists to email all the members a view which is in conflict the local party vote?
councillor butt is someone that was elected by his local community and selected by his peers as someone with the political will, nouce and expertise to be leader of our council. It is through his stewardship during these difficult times that Brent Council has been nominated for an equalities award. If any other councillor had the ability to step up to the plate and do councillor butts job they would have challenged him by now. Mark my word, butt will one day make a fine member of parliament for brent north when the honourable Barry Gardiner retires. Butt's words mean something to the clp.
00:21 - best bit of satire I've read in ages.
I haven't seen any evidence that Butt has political will, or expertise - even in relation to THE FARCE that Brent has been nominated for an equalities award. It appears to me and many local residents that he just sucks up to those with status for his own selfish political ambition. He is nothing more than a yes man and probably definitely a 'nouce'.
'Nouce'?
His advisor's on backing vocals? Does that make Butt the lead singer? Or the singing Leader?
Maybe he's spotted a gap in the market since the death of Val Doonican.
Get your chunky cardigan, Mohammed.
Walk Tall!
Urba Dictionary definition
Nouce
A moment that makes you cringe and is awesome at the same time, originated by combining Nice and Ouch.
Used when watching extreme gore movies, games, and/or videos.
Jack:Dude, remember when that girl shoved the nail through her finger and it popped her finger nail up?
Jim: Yeah man, that was Nouce
Combining Nice and Ouch gives you 'Nouce'? I blame the schools
Mike Hine
Looks like 11:30 misread SWINGING for singing :)
Scrolling down to the second definition of NOUCE from urbandictionary.com ..
"NOUCE: This word pretty much the same meaning as pice; assh*le/wan*er"
22:52 makes a very good point. Perhaps more questions need to be asked in relation to 'What authority he has obtained the membership lists to email all the members view which is in conflict the local party vote" and should there be an investigation to establish whether he has breached the Data Protection Act!?
'his adviser is vocally backing Liz Kendall'
Today the other Miliband came out for Kendall as he wishes a 1 party tory state and surprisingly even Prince Charles has had his say on Corbyn http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh
If Corbyn gets elected, to reflect changing times shouldn't they elected as leader of Brent someone that shares the politics.
