Dear Dame,
40% of the population is funded by the 60% who pay taxes. That means they are in the humiliating position of taking scraps from 'the rich man's table'.
The government should never allow such inequality.
The Kensington Labour Group sees this as a slap in the face by the rich bloodsuckers who pay tax.
The next Labour Government should set a target for that 40% to rise to a minimum of 85%......
Cllr Ali
Leader in waiting
Did Ali really write this incoherent drivel? My god he must not be allowed to get anywhere near a position of leadership. If this level of intelligence is what awaits Kasim Ali’s stab at the job then keep Emma Dent Coad as leader, I say!
ReplyDeleteThe Kensington Labour Party needs to shaft EDC just like the national party did.
DeleteAli knows that he will only hold the job as long as he allows Dent Coad to pull the strings.
DeleteAli knows that he will only hang on to the job if he allows Emma Dent Coad to the pull the strings.
DeleteAli knows he will only hang on to that job if he allows Dent Coad to pull the strings.
DeleteEDC has shafted the Kensington Labour party. Result being hardly anyone going to CLP meetings anymore cronyism & bullying being the norm at KLP weakest Labour group of councillors in living memory & no change in results with RBKC staying Tory even though the adjoining councils have all gone to Labour.
DeleteIt is shocking that Westminster went Socialist and K&C remained Tory even with the Tories having to answer for Grenfell. Labour should have won and Emma lost it for them. Nastiness, shafting Henderson, antisemitism and racism.
DeleteHardly surprising that Labour could not take RBKC from the Tories - 19.01
DeleteEDC's undying devotion to Corbyn is not what Kensington voters want. She said, "My Socialism is Corbyn's Socialism." She likes pathetic slogans.
Corbyn blames NATO for Putin's atrocities in Ukraine. Kensington's upper class, highly educated voters, will vote for a National Labour Leader who condemns Putin for genocide and the rape in Ukraine. EDC has not done so. They will back a Parliamentary Candidate who backs Starmer.
Welcome Joe Powell. Hope EDC is not playing dirty tricks and that Ali does not take over where she leaves off.
Is EDC being seen off by Ali as Leader of Labour Councillors?
DeleteHopefully, he will see her off once and for all.
DeleteWe don't need an Opposition Group Leader who supports a man who hankers for soviet imperialism and a return to communism -or as the Trots would say "state capitalism."
Clear the decks at Kensington CLP.
DeleteJust what did Dent Coad think she was doing? Telling Kensington's voters that she is "cuddly" and most definitely not Marxist but sucking up to Corbyn, Abbott et al and every loony left cause going at the same time. Voters were conned by her about her opposition to Marxism but saw through her.
I hope Ali doesn't think he can con us too. If he does, it is inevitable that he will be shafted.
Is Ali responsible for shafting Emma Dent Coad as Leader of the Labour Group?
DeleteNo. He’s not leader and (hopefully, if the rest of them have any sense!) never will be!
DeleteIt looks like Ali might be Leader sooner than you think. EDC is not very popular. She is a very confused and disjointed socialist. Does anyone know what is going on in Kensington CLP. This might be some sort of Karma for doing down Ian Henderson.
DeleteIf you have a hand in shafting someone then don't be surprised if you also get shafted.
DeletePolitics is dirty. Everyone gets seen off or "shafted."
DeleteMargaret Thatcher, John Major, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson were all "shafted."
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband,and Jeremy Corbyn were all "shafted."
Emma was "shafted" by Labour Councillors ten years ago. She was "shafted" again by the Kensington electorate in 2019 and seen off once more by her party last year. It looks like she is now being seen off by Ali.
Emma has not been conspicuously successful in national and local politics. Barred by the Labour Party from standing for Parliament because of her racist conduct. Time for her to spend more time with the children and grandchildren.
DeleteWhat a plonker
ReplyDeleteHow can Labour possibly be thinking of this person as Leader of the group? Dizzy must be in ecstatic and clover. And twirling in her M&S twin set. Pass the sick bag Dame
ReplyDeleteSome are wondering if Ali joined Labour canvassing today or if he only showed up for the photoshoot with Joe Powell
ReplyDeleteobvs just for the pics… making himself out to be a ‘team player’ rather than just a ‘player’…
DeleteDame: the word ‘Dead’ above seems rather inappropriate and appears as though whoever wrote the comment wishes her dead. Please deal with this accordingly. Skating on thin ice.
DeleteYou’re putting yourself in a precarious position leaving such a comment on this post. The word ‘dead’ in the comment above is incredibly inappropriate. What happened to moderating this hellsite?
DeleteAre you that bonkers councillor from EC?
DeleteNorth Ken councillor thinks he's above knocking on North Ken doors but thinks he's good enough to be leader of Labour group
ReplyDeleteAll I have heard from fellow residents is how he does not answer requests for help. That is not a good sign and one that this council will encourage.
ReplyDeleteHe does answer requests on the condition that the person seeking assistance is from Somalia (the only constituents he wants to help). Other than that he couldn’t give a toss.
DeleteI will be reporting this blog to the police. I am concerned for Emma’s safety and you’re allowing people to call her dead despite being asked to remove that horrible comment (which you allowed the person to write twice)
ReplyDeleteAre you alright, love?
Delete12.10 is clearly, not all there. The Police would say that an investigation in to describing "Dent Coad as "De*d Cold" is not in the public interest. Just as it was not in the public interest for the police to take Emma's complaint about Sam Gymiah seriously.
DeleteI want to join in and report you to the Met for allowing a comment that Felicity Buchan is on Chinese balloon. Very precarious
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose that Councillor Ali could be any worse than Emma Dent Coad.
ReplyDeleteWhat do Nadine Dorries MP and Emma Dent Coad have uncommon?
Nadine Dorries is sycophantic to Boris Johnson and wishes he was still Leader of the Tory Party.
Emma Dent Coad is sycophantic to Jeremy Corbyn and wishes was still the Leader of the Labour Party. Boris, unlike Corbyn, does not blame NATO's existence for Putin's genocide in Ukraine.
EDC won't like being compared to Nadine Dorries- one of the most inept parliamentarians ever to have put her bottom on the green leather benches.
ReplyDeleteEDC did not like it when someone wrote on the Hornet a few months ago that Emma reminded the writer of Enoch Powell.
Ali must just be alright.
Enoch Powell? Nadine Dorries MP? Someone thinks very highly of her. What will Ali offer that Dent Coad did not?
ReplyDeleteFree Khat on the rates?
DeleteCllr. Ali - the Liz Truss of the Labour Group !
ReplyDeleteBetter than Councillor Dent Coad being Enoch Powell of the Labour Group.
DeleteEmma was shown the door by Labour Councillors in 2013/2014. It looks like Emma will be shown the door by Labour Councillors again. She is paying the price for her plan of action to destabilise Ian Henderson. Kasim Ali learned his political craft attached to Emma's apron strings. Politics is squalid, mean, tawdry and nasty. No nice person is in it.
DeletePeople are fickle, they can be manipulated and you never know who is going to turn next.
Fickle? Emma demands loyalty. She wants people to kiss her arse in Harrods' window. She doesn't have what it takes to keep people on side. Her Jeremy Corbyn complex has dented her popularity.
DeleteAli is clever enough not to develop a "Jeremy Corbyn complex."
DeleteBoris Johnson's Churchill complex like Emma Dent Coad's Corbyn complex is a stupid position for any politician to take.
Just like Johnson, Dent Coad has to be "top dog." em............
That's an excellent expression 10.32. " Her Jeremy Corbyn complex."
DeleteInteresting regarding Emma and her "Jeremy Corbyn complex." Emma's very similar to Rosie Barnes, former SDP MP for Greenwich. Just like Emma, Rosie had a David Owen complex.
DeleteI don't think Ali has a Jeremy Corbyn fixation like Emma Dent Coad does.
DeleteDent Coad's Corbyn fixation was very unhealthy. When she endorsed that anti-semitic article on the internet, she was totally enthralled by Corbyn's politics. Dent Coad and Corbyn both repeatedly failed to separate the policies of the Israeli Government from Jewish people generally; a very lazy way of thinking. Dent Coad revealed her true racist colours and later offered a mealy-mouthed apology just like she did over racially abusing Shaun Bailey AM.
It is be hoped that Ali, if he gets the job, will bring a better, more thoughtful, less toxic leadership to the politics of the Council's Labour Group. He is one of the few Councillors I have not had the pleasure of meeting.
Fixation, now there's a thought. In Freudian theory a "Fixation" is the arresting of part of the libido at an immature stage, causing an obsessive attachment.
DeleteWas Emma's Fixation with Jeremy Corbyn the arresting part of her libido?
Dear Gracious, Glorious, The Dame Hornet of Kensington Town Hall.
DeleteDid you see fellow dame, Dame Margaret Hodge MP, on Sky News this morning talking to Kay Burley? The Equalities and Human Rights' Commission is now satisfied with the way Labour Party has tackled antisemitism. Hats off to Starmer!
Dame Margaret said, " Jeremy Corbyn MP must never be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate again." We know that Emma has been barred from standing.
Do any of your Hornets know if Starmer is going to bar Corbyn?
Corbyn and Dent Coad do not have a god given right to stand on a Labour Ticket at the next General Election.
DeleteLabourism is all about equality and a fair deal for workers. We don't want racists or people who'd detest businesses.
Ali would be a better choice to lead Labour on the Council.
DeleteFixation? Last autumn, EDC posted a tweet saying that she was going on a demonstration or a march with Jeremy Corbyn. Why not say that she was going on a demonstration full stop? The association with, and closeness to, Corbyn was the most important part of the tweet.
DeletePerhaps, this fixated obsession of being close to Corbyn really is an arrested development of the libido at an immature stage.
I think Coad will stand as an independent.
ReplyDeleteDear Dame,
ReplyDeleteThanks to Sir Keir Starmer, antisemites are not welcome in today's Labour Party. Not before time!
Emma only told us that the Party's Due Diligence Dossier banned her for some sort of snigger, grin, or wry smile that she gave whilst Sir Keir Starmer was talking. I know that she likes to wince (a very accomplished middle class grimace) when she disagrees with people. She did not tell us if her brushes with racism were in the folder.
I am sure if Emma and Jeremy both stand as independents they will both do very nicely. Labour voters who do not agree with them being shafted can vote for them. I am sure they would stand shoulder to shoulder with each other.
Margaret Hodge MP can now feel safe in the Labour Party. Hopefully Luciana Berger, whose uncle, Mani Shinwell, thumped a Tory for antisemitism will join the Party again. Corbyn blanked her for two years. Mani, one of the Greats of the Labour Movement, did time in Barlinnie for intimidating scabs.
I think Manny, Lord Shinwell, did time in Calton prison, and not Bar- L. Manny was a great working class hero. He was involved in unrest over the Forty Hour Movement. Corbyn never did time for the working classes. Luciana Berger should be very proud of her Great Uncle. .
DeleteDoes anyone know if Luciana Berger has rejoined Labour?
DeleteI hope Monica Press, Pat Healey, and Ian Henderson are enjoying how the high and mighty are now going to get their comeuppance.
ReplyDeleteThe reported showdown between Dent Coad & Cllr. Ali to lead the current Labour opposition on the Council will not be settled by a cool analysis of which of them has the best attributes of leadership but rather by which of them can offer the most patronage in the form of 'responsibility allowances' (ie extra cash) to the electorate of 13 Labour Councillors . Remember this is public money supposedly given for performing extra duties and responsibilities . In recent years this extra cash had gone to some of the most useless Labour Councillors simply to reward them for keeping Cllrs Dent Coad & Lari in power . Shocking as it is ,there is not a thing can be done about it until the next Council elections when it is to be hoped there will be a wholesale clearing out of our useless opposition members
ReplyDeleteDent Coad has no respect for public money. She will do whatever she can to stay in power.
DeleteDo you remember when she gave up her Councillor's Allowance?
This highly principled Corbynista did not want to be paid twice for representing Golborne residents: once by Parliament and again by the Council.
What did the sly cat do?
She let the dust settle and started drawing her Councillor's Allowance again. Despicable. She did not reckon on me checking the Parliamentary Register of Members' Interests and grassing her to the Dame.
Whosoever wins the showdown in the Dent Coad and Ali socialist spat will be the one who was most profligate with Council Tax payers' money. As we are all paying for this, we can only hope the loser gets a good shafting.
Delete08:50 - quite a scoop you got there! Almost as if you’re the only person with access to the register of members’ interests! Wanna tell us the sky is blue and sometimes grey too?
DeleteI still grassed her up
DeleteSir Keir Starmer MP. KC., is Ukraine today to tell the Ukrainian people that if Labour gets in next year, there will be no change in Government policy towards Ukraine and Russia.
ReplyDeleteWhereas, Comrade Corbyn (North London Poly Dropout) and eleven other Labour MP's blamed NATO for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. The return to Soviet (Socialist) Imperialism is so compelling.
Will Ali break from Corbynism and the current endorsement of it from the Leader of the Opposition Group on RBKC. Corbyn has now been shafted out of Labour.
Corbyn and those eleven Labour MP's who supported him by blaming NATO for Putin's invasion, genocide and rape of women in Ukraine should think on. Hitler was initially appeased by Britain over illegal territorial gains. His pure evil and virulent antisemitism then came to the fore.
DeletePutin has employed nerve poison in the UK and killed Dawn Sturgess and others.
Will Kensington's Labour Councillors now condemn Comrade Corbyn and back their outstanding Party Leader, Sir Keir Starmer MP KC. Expel any Councillor toeing Corbyn's line.
Sir Kerr Starmer MP, LL.B, KC., said, "Anyone who agrees with Jeremy Corbyn NLPD, can go with him." That includes Dent Coad and Abbott for starters.
DeleteIf Ali ousts Dent-Coad, there might just be a chance of Kensington and Chelsea going Labour at the next local council election. She is no where near as accomplished at leading Labour Councillors as Robert Atkinson.
DeleteEDC gave an interview to The Guardian on the fifth anniversary of Grenfell. It was all about her and the effect the fire had on her. It wasn't about victims or survivors. She said, "My socialism is Corbyn's socialism." She forgot to include his antisemitism.
DeleteDent Coad is Corbyn's puppet. A pair of Marxist cranks.
DeleteDear Dame,
DeleteWhat do you have to say about the Hornet being responsible for getting Emma Dent Coad busted?
Corbyn even doubted that Putin was responsible for deploying the nerve poison that killed Dawn Sturgess. Theresa May had none of that. Corbyn later blamed NATO's existence for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Dent Coad supports Corbyn.
DeleteThis socialist says, "Welcome Kasim Ali."
HA HA HA - 20:05: Never forget Robert Atkinson also FAILED to get any new Labour councillors elected. He is a whingeing rosacea laden granny. Alright, his petulant outbursts are quite funny but don’t compare him to Dent Coad or Cllr Ali when he himself oversaw an abject electoral failure when Tory led Kensington & Chelsea council was at its weakest ever moment in 2018.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Emma.
DeleteAs you are in with Corbyn, would you please tell us what he was playing at when he suggested that Putin should send a sample of his Novochoc over here so we could establish if his sample was the same batch of the poison that killed Dawn Sturgess?
Corbyn in his desperation to support Putin overlooked the causal link between the traces of Novochoc found in the London Guesthouse where the Russian Murdering Agents stayed before they went to Salisbury to kill people.
Do you, Emma, support Putin in the same that Corbyn does?
We are entitled to know if the Labour Group Leader on the Council is an apologist or supporter of Putin. Her failure to declare her position on this crucial matter can only lead one to conclude that she is on Putin's side. Presumably, Ali is not hankering for a return to Soviet Imperialism and Communism. If he ousts her, he would be doing good.
DeleteCorbyn with Dent Coad (his most sycophantic lackey) would have this great country subordinate to Putin and Russia.
DeleteStarmer has rightly put both them out in the cold, they can always go in for a cardy.
Atkinson was definitely better than Dent Coad. Atkinson did not shaft good Councillors like Dent Coad did just because they would not take shit from her. Henderson, Press, Healey.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Emma may be seen off for shafting Henderson and doing down Press and Healey.
DeleteHope she is busted as Labour Group Leader on K&C Council soon.Getting busted by Ali is her due. Atkinson busted her, Ali can do the same.
DeleteI don't know how you can imagine someone so self-obsessed if not possessed to lead the current Labour group. There are reports of Ali not doing much for Dalgarno. He doesn't answer our emails. One of his residents was nearly evicted waiting for his 'help'. Peabody resident reported that he asked him for money for getting him a home with a garden. We are buffered why he has blocked Summer Fair in Little Wormwood Scrubs. He simply refused to approve CLLL funding we applied for. We run that Summer Fair last year, which was a great success. However, this year we have no funding thanks to Ali. The other cllr has approved and apologized to us. We hear there are other CLLL funding blocked by Ali including greening Canalside Sport Center. We check twitter of the other Dalgarno cllr she seems to try to clean his crab and that's what Ali loves: managing underdogs. How come his own Somalians suffer in damp Kensal House or Peabody block P? We saw photos, we speak to our neighbors. Was Ali not elected back in 2019? He had lots of time to being prosperity to Dalgarno and NK.
ReplyDeleteAli is a smooth operator promoting himself and happy to stub your back. It looks like Dalgarno has not voted to make him a MP, so poor folks won't get any funding. How was he appointed as the Chair of Housing in the first place? How many dirty deals has he made? We hear Canalside House is sold. Where was Ali our NK Chair of Housing? Making money on a side for sure. Ali loves money and there are more monies in leadership job on top of his cllr allowance. The faster Labour deals with him the better for us all in NK. We will not vote Labour seeing how he is tolerated. How come not a single Grenfell activists was nominated in the South Branch? Williams put her name down. There were knives out fighting over Environmental Co-Ordinator job between Isse and Jedut. Jedut lost, not being one of this pack. Lets watch Monica and Pat getting their ravage; he bullied them both out of CLP. To be honest here our Joe is not fooled by him and his treatment of women. We learned yesterday Ali was self- appointed to investigate 'abuse within CLP.' No wonder he found noting to report. He should be busted a long time ago, shafted just like he has shafted Henderson. Some of us have a good idea who left that parcel through Ian's letter box.
Lets get popcorn and enjoy watching another episode of CLP saga.
13 in one room. One may not vote at all.
What parcel was put through Ian Henderson's letterbox?
ReplyDeleteWould 11.33 care to enlighten us?
If 11.33 knows about anything homophobia in the Kensington CLP then please tell us all?
The Labour Party needs to shaft Ali and Dent Coad.
ReplyDeleteI am very concerned to read about a "parcel," presumably containing something offensive, being put through Ian Henderson's letterbox.
It is a bit like Margaret Thatcher' supporters sending Michael Heseltine shirt pieces of silver in 1990.
Should be " thirty pieces of silver," I think.
DeleteApart from his other failings ( listed above) a major objection to Ali becoming Labour Group leader is his complete inability to work with women ( just ask any of the current or former Labour Women Councillors). If senior people in the Labour Party do not stop Cllr. Ali now he will cause the party greater embarrassment later.

ReplyDeleteWe should not be content with Coad just because she is a woman.
ReplyDeleteAli and Dent Coad were partners in disreputable political shenanigans for years. They should both be booted out of the Labour Party.
ReplyDeleteDent Coad had no complaints about Ali when he was doing her bidding. The pair of them are a disgrace.
ReplyDeleteAli and Dent Coad both need to be busted out of the Labour Party. They are both dreadful. Shocking conduct from both of them. They shafted a star, Ian Henderson, now it is their turn for a good and proper busting so we can stop wasting precious time on them in Kensington Labour. Bust them!
ReplyDelete"Jeremy Corbyn's slaying shows Labour has changed but Keir Starmer knows there is still much to do." (Source: LBC Views by Ben Kentish.)
ReplyDeleteNow come on Labour, clear out the detritus and dross in Kensington.
Joe, get Starmer to get his nose in his Labour Party Rule Book to get rid of them.
It is unfortunate that so many Labour Councillors in K&C are the product of inadequate socialisation.
ReplyDelete"Inadequate socialisation- lovely turn of phrase." EDC, Ali and Lari are very
ReplyDelete" inadequate." Bring back Press, Healey and Henderson.
I would be happy if Ali is the stalking horse that sees off Dent Coad. He can then be shafted by another Labour Party member after that.
ReplyDeleteBut which of them is up to navigating between the Scylla of Ali and the Charybdis of Dent Coad ? Weren't they all deliberately chosen for their lack of potential ?
ReplyDeleteGreek mythology is wasted on Dent Coad on Ali. They're as vulgar as Dizzy Lizzie.
ReplyDeleteDent Coad's political shafting is taking a long time. If Labour cannot efficiently shaft someone, they won't be able to run the Town Hall efficiently.
ReplyDeleteHer busting is desirable and overdue.
ReplyDeleteThis thread is becoming boring & repetitious . If nobody had anything fresh to say on the subject of who is to lead the hopeless Labour group for the next 3 years ( "Two bald headed men fighting over a comb" springs to mind ) could we PLEASE move on to something about which something can be done ?
ReplyDeleteYes, agreed I think this has run its useful life. No more comments please
