And Yet Even in His Obvious Political Disdain For Labour Leader Corbyn, Lord Sugar Constructs a Full Person With Agency...

...whilst Shadow Home Secretary and Privy Council Member Diane Abbott MP is in Lord Sugar's poetic utterances literally little more than 'the girl' in an R rated movie simply there to attest to the heterosexuality of the main character, 'the man.'

The verse posted by the billionaire describes Mr Corbyn as a "yesterday man" and "the worst Labour leader since records began".

Billionaire businessman Lord Sugar has continued his feud with Jeremy Corbyn by apparently penning a poem about the Labour leader.
The star of TV series The Apprentice posted a 24-line verse about Mr Corbyn on Twitter.
In the rhyme, the politician is criticised for Labour's anti-Semitism row, his dress sense, his views on the monarchy and his reported previous relationship with shadow home secretary Diane Abbott.
The poem also mentions Mr Corbyn's support for his local football club Arsenal and brands him the "worst Labour leader since records began".
Alongside his "ode" to the Labour leader, Lord Sugar wrote: "Will some of the Labour MPs and Lords grow a pair and get him OUT."

Last week, the peer deleted a tweet showing Mr Corbyn in a car next to Adolf Hitler after the post sparked a row.
Lord Sugar, who was born into a Jewish family, wrote alongside the image: "Many a true word spoken in jest Corbyn."
The picture also added the caption: "When you're pictured at Nuremberg and claim you thought you were going to a car rally."
After Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell led calls for him to delete the tweet, Lord Sugar apologised for sharing the image.
In response to Mr McDonnell, he added: "First let me say I am not the originator, it has been doing the rounds.
"You need to get Corbyn to make a firm statement about anti-Semitism. There is no smoke without fire in Labour."

Jeremy Corbyn told Jewish people he is their ally

Between 1997 and 2015, Lord Sugar was a member of the Labour Party.
He was appointed to the House of Lords in 2009 when he became an "enterprise tsar" for Gordon Brown's government.
The businessman, a former owner of Arsenal rivals Tottenham, quit Labour just days after the 2015 General Election, revealing he had been "losing confidence" in the party due to its "negative business policies" and "anti-enterprise" ideas.
Lord Sugar's full poem about Mr Corbyn:
Jeremy Corbyn, a bit of a scruff
Asked what he could do to come over less rough
His fashion advisers worked on his new look
And a fifty quid Matalan suit's all it took
Jeremy Corbyn, a stud of a man
A playboy was he with his lover Diane
She'd get into bed wearing only her blushed
And lie back with Jezza just thinking of Russia
Jeremy Corbyn, on Royals not keen
You won't find him singing to God Save The Queen
No Cenotaph bowing for this bitter man
If elected he'd call for a monarchy ban
Jeremy Corbyn, says many a critic
Is a dangerous fool who is anti-Semitic
He often says "I'm not a Jew-hating man"
"I'm just a big Hamas and Hezbollah fan"
Jeremy Corbyn, an Arsenal man
Supporting the team with his Islington clan
He cheers the left winger when he goes along
And 'Come on you Reds' is his favourite song
Jeremy Corbyn, a yesterday man
The worst Labour leader since records began
Though his party is coughing and spluttering and dying
Old Jeremy Corbyn's red flag is still flying

The Labour Party is now a threat to our national security, our economic security and your family's security.

I am proud to have supported Liz Kendall for the leadership and Caroline Flint for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party. Liz and Caroline were steadfast and courageous in standing up for what they believe in.
However, as a democrat I have to respect the decision of Labour members and supporters who have given their overwhelming support to Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson.
Congratulations to Jeremy and Tom on their victories. Also thanks to Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and the deputy leadership candidates for their willingness to engage seriously with members during a long election campaign.
For the record, I have never accused Jeremy Corbyn of anti semitism but have expressed serious concern about his support for people who have engaged in anti Semitic rhetoric. He must address these concerns and anti semitism on the left more generally which was acknowledged as a real problem by Owen Jones recently.
Labour must now focus it's attention on holding the Tories to account and renewing itself so it can be a serious alternative Government.
In answer to some, I will never leave the Labour Party because it is the only credible vehicle for building a just, fairer and more progressive country On a personal level, It has also given me so much.
I do not believe we need to simply resurrect the Labour Party of the New Labour years to deliver political success. However, we do need to understand what the character of our country will be in the 2020s, the challenges and opportunities. Then apply our enduring commitment to social justice and social mobility to those realities.
The gap between the aspirations and values of too many people and the Labour Party risks making us unelectable for a generation. Loyalty and responsibility to those who need a Labour Government the most means a relentless focus on closing that gap.
That must be the shared mission of our new leadership team, Labour MPs, Labour members. supporters
and Trade unionists.
With regard to my future role at Westminster I will let people know as soon as decisions are made.
The current political crisis in Northern Ireland which is the most serious threat to peace and stability for many years should be a priority for the new Labour leadership. Labour has a proud legacy and therefore special responsibility. It is essential we continue to work with the Government on a bi partisan basis and maintain an honest broker, equi distant role between Northern Ireland's political parties and the loyalist and nationalist communities.

Statement by Chuka Umunna MP on leaving the Shadow Cabinet by mutual agreement:
I had a good discussion with the new Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, today. Further to that discussion we have both mutually agreed that it would be best for me to support his leadership from the backbenches.
It has been an immense privilege and honour to serve the Labour Party as Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills since 2011 when I was asked to take on the role by our former leader, Ed Miliband. Leaving the Shadow Cabinet has been one of the most difficult personal political decisions I have had to make but I believe it to be the right one.
Whilst there is much on which Jeremy and I agree, there are a number of key points of difference on policy which I believe it would be dishonest to deny exist. If Jeremy's clear victory yesterday demonstrated anything, it was a desire for politicians to be true to what they believe – I want to abide by this. Also, Jeremy should be free to appoint a Shadow Cabinet committed to implementing the policies on which he campaigned in the contest – I clearly had some differences in view on how we build a more equal, democratic, free and fair society.
Given these differences, not least on the European referendum, I would find it difficult to abide by the collective responsibility that comes with serving in the Shadow Cabinet. That is why Jeremy and I have agreed I can more effectively support his leadership from the backbenches. In particular, it is my view that we should support the UK remaining a member of the EU, notwithstanding the outcome of any renegotiation by the Prime Minister, and I cannot envisage any circumstances where I would be campaigning alongside those who would argue for us to leave – Jeremy has made it clear to me that he does not wholeheartedly share this view.
So, I will do whatever I can to get Labour back into office from the backbenches – getting back into office is the best way of putting our principles and values into action. A number of colleagues, not least our new Deputy Leader, have illustrated that you can make a substantial contribution to the national debate without being in the Shadow Cabinet and I intend to follow their example.
I meant what I said about the need to unify and come together after the leadership contest, so have no interest in being a thorn in the side of the leadership. One of the tasks the leadership will have to embark on is winning back support from all communities, not least our black and ethnic minority communities. With that in mind, my Labour Parliamentary colleague Keith Vaz and I will be carrying out an independent review into the Labour Party’s support amongst Britain’s ethnic minority communities which Jeremy has warmly welcomed and has committed to support.
