  1. What do Jenner and Amin stand for? And why wasn’t Zbigniew Kowalcyzk there? Did he ‘go home’

  2. Jenner stands on renter's rights... "The fixed, rigged rental system is impoverishing and depressing many millions of British people.

    We need good, affordable homes for everyone, not assets for some.

    Dawn Butler and UK Labour will win Brent East by 20,000 votes. If you are a renter in Brent, a message should be sent to the new Labour government. A vote for me in this general election will do this. 

    I will urge politicians:


    • to build 2 million homes in next ten years

    • inntroduce rent controls, rent caps

    • action on unsafe unhealthy homes, with refunds of rent for substandard lettings"

  4. Don’t mean to stick up for Dawn Butler, but James of the workers party doesn’t know what is within her remit or power

  5. One of James' more bizarre claims was that George Galloway had been in prison with Nelson Mandela.

    1. I can't see evidence he was in prison with Mandela but no one doubts GG worked underground as an agent for the ANC

    2. Believing George Galloway was in prison with Nelson Mandela is like saying Gandalf and Harry Potter shared a flat while they were training to be wizards.

  6. Aadil Shaikh - Independent telling James Mutimer - Workers Party GB he was donating to business when James was in nappies was bizarre when they are clearly the same age.

    1. Getting Mutimer to name 5 schools in the constituency was quite skilful & interesting- if somewhat confrontational

    2. Yes that was very good!

  7. Aadil asked James, "You've parachuted down from Leeds. Can you name a local school?"

    James replied, "No, fair enough."
