NHS in Crisis, Only Two Days to Save John Ashworth (Again)

Has Jon Ashworth been taking comedy lessons from Nish Kumar?

You remember Nish Kumar… he’s the ‘comedian’ that uttered the immortal line at a charity dinner, “ I want you to go home and kill your racist Brexit voting parents,” which funnily enough is Labour’s policy for the NHS… it’s a variation on their previous policy, with a political twist.

But let’s not get political. For today is not a day for politics. For today is a day to remember the poor dead child, who died in a Leeds hospital (it doesn’t matter which one… Leeds is all up there somewhere)… who died in a Leeds hospital in a pool of blood. Today is a day to join with the grand clown of British politics, David Lammy as he takes Allison Pearson to task… as if the poor woman hasn’t suffered enough from Lesbianism induced by marriage to Tony Parsons. This is about a boy…

Ok it’s not about a dead boy. But it doesn’t matter, because we are not in Kansas anymore, we are in Labourland…

Are you an insufferable woman? Do you hate queuing? Are you getting pissed off because more urgent cases are being given priority? Then stick your elbows out, your kid on the floor, and send the pictures to the Mirror.

Let’s not get into the issue of the oxygen mask, or why the only allowable response to this story is emotional incontinence. For Sarah Williment is a woman and women must not be criticised…. unless they are a witch like Allison Pearson.

And anyone who says different is a Russian bot.

Ok so while all that is going on, the Labour spokesthem for Health and Social Care, Jon Ashworth, has been bantering, joking, ribbing… ummmm?… look he wasn’t being honest ok?

It’s been quite a day for Jon ‘Just William’ Ashworth.

First he appears on Good Morning Britian, to deny he is running for the Labour leadership. Ok, he’s really there to talk about the NHS, but given that he bangs on about the fake news in Leeds, and claims his sole aim is to be the Health secretary, when it is pretty clear to anyone with eyes that if Labour win, he will be shifted aside: he is being less than honest.

Clearly Labour have big plans for the Leeds fake news, for Jon Ashworth is booked to go on Victoria Derbyshire, Politics Live, Radio 5 Live, LBC, Sooty, the Double Deckers, and, make a green screen appearance in Ice Cold in Alex to win over the votes of pensioners watching the afternoon film, as they sit in their own piss waiting for Svetlana to come, make them a Pot Noodle and put them to bed.

Well that is until 9.45am, when Guido Fawkes drops the tapes of Jon Ashworth telling the truth.

Before moving on, I would advise people to watch the Piers Corbyn interview with Mike Graham, as if you read the runes, it gives an interesting insight into just how stifled debate is within the Labour party, and how authoritarian it is. And explains why Jeremy Corbyn has gone from this, to this.

Perhaps it is karma. It is certainly a low blow for the tapes to be leaked. But no lower than the Labour spin that some faked photo of a kid on the floor proves Boris Johnson lacks basic humanity. But let’s be honest, this election has been a dirty and verminous affair.

But there is a certain schadenfreude in watching Mr Ashworth wriggling to explain away what are clearly his honest opinions as a joke.
