"Naz Shah's ever-burgeoning election successes"
The new technique for neo-Toryism since they stumbled across the "Let's find a tree and drag 'en out that thar jailhouse" Populism of fighting elections is that if someone with principles and determination to push them through appears on the scene is to pick an easy path and mount a smear campaign immediately
It's always been there; it happened as far back as Michael Foot, who was a brilliant speaker a renowned essayist, extremely knowledgeable on many things from political philosophy to the Classics - - an intellectual, highly-principled giant next to Thatcher' squalid, mass-murderer-loving microbe who fell from grace for EARING A DONKEY JACKET THAT WASN'T EVEN A DONKEY JACKET
Rather that fight Corbyn on principles and duty to the people, they chose to RIDICULE HIM
Their tactics include ageism, racism, personal insult lying and resorting to seel=ing ASSISTANCE FROM ABROAD, even from THE MOST EXTREMIST STATES
That seems to be the future for politics in Britain unless this crisis acts as a sobering wake-up call

In a way, that's why we should be grateful for own own example here - a mental midget with no intelelctual capacity to offer, just abuse, and totally lacking in self respect - a microcosm of British right-wing politics today
