The Silver Tassie.
By Robert Burns
Go fetch to me a pint o wine,
And fill it in a silver tassie;
That I may drink, before I go,
A service to my bonie lassie:
The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,
Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,
The ship rides by the Berwick-law,
And I maun leave my bonie Mary.
The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready,
The shouts o' war are heard afar,
The battle closes deep and bloody.
It's not the roar o' sea or shore,
Wad make me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar--
It's leaving thee, my bonie Mary!

Jeremy Corbyn is a very malleable political object. This idea he was a man "who never changed his morals" is an outright lie.
Here is a list of what he backed down on;
- Dropped calls to quit NATO. He also said Labour would “work within NATO to reduce tensions” but dropped any talk of withdrawal.
- Backed keeping Trident despite opposing nukes and claiming to be a pacifist.
- Campaigned for Remain despite years of being an EU sceptic.
- Softened his anti-austerity edge to sound “responsible.”
- Capitulated on the antisemitism witch-hunt & IHRA.
- Shelved MP deselection fights.
- Parked his republicanism.
- Dropped any attacks on British imperialism.

To clear the way for continued criminality and warmongering around the world, the ruling class needs to crush all domestic opposition.
It’s hilarious that Angela Rayner has been made a scapegoat. How many of these MPs are landlords themselves – some of them outright slum landlords?
Raynor has been hung out to dry to make it look like they care about tax dodging or housing, when in reality the system is working exactly as designed. An artificially inflated housing bubble, a defunct social housing sector, and decades of policy tailored to landlords, developers, and the financial markets. That’s the real story.
Rayner’s high-profile sacking is theatre. It’s a distraction from the fact that Parliament as a whole is up to its neck in the housing racket. Successive governments flogged off council homes under Right to Buy, gutted local authority housing budgets, and handed the sector over to private profiteers. Today, one in five MPs is a landlord, many earning more from rent than from their parliamentary salary.
That’s the real scandal, not Angela Rayner’s front-page trial by the media, but the open corruption of a Parliament where those who make the laws also line their pockets from the misery of the housing market.
