General Annoyance
Awww, Owen Jones has been told to go away.
Much of Labour conference has seen MPs taking aim at Nigel Farage and his Reform party, but it would appear some left-wingers have ended up in the firing line too. Onetime Labour member and all-time general annoyance Owen Jones had been running around Liverpool vox-popping politicians and delegates with his cameraman – but he managed to get on the wrong side of the party and was rather embarrassingly informed today that his conference pass had been, er, cancelled.

Thanks, Richard! I was just wondering if he was that little oik who was gleefully celebrating the removal of actual journalists from the Grauniad for being sex realists, whilst hypocritically avoiding recruiting ‘transwo’MEN to carry a pregnancy for him and his partner…
The dogs bark, and the caravan moves on. – An old Arab proverb; painfully apt in the case of Jones.
