I see OJ has landed himself in trouble.

Left-wing author Owen Jones has been reported to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) over claims that private messages written by Labour Party staff members have been published in his new book.

The JC understands that the ICO has received a complaint after extracts of 'This Land', the journalist’s analysis of the state of the British left after the defeat of Jeremy Corbyn, were published by the online publication Vice on Sunday.

In the extract, a series of messages from Labour staff members are detailed, all of which express seriously negative views about senior party figures include Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall and Andy Burnham.

The messages also include highly defamatory claims about a former MP.

Also contains the outing of a former Labour MP which should endear Jones to the LGBT+ community.

I see Owen has once again managed to make a complete arse out of himself again.

Owen and Ash Sarkar know who the real victims of anti-semitism are - them.

Owen Jones talks about online abuse of journalists and living with 'constant threat of far-right violence'

Owen's decided to crowdfund a new media venture. Not sure where he's going with this, but sadly I suspect Kerry-Anne Mendoza territory awaits:

"Global reach"; its on the web. Owen Jones has more journalistic rigour than the Canary and that other Corbynite shite site whose name escapes me. He'd do alright as the resident lefty on TalkSport.

[Tubby Isaacs]

It's not like he can't get on the corporate media, is it?

Better to do more of that?

[davidjay]

The right-wing mob normally do that when they've been binned from what they call the MSM. Why he's burning his bridges now is beyond me.

[oboogie]

I don't know if it's true, but the word on Twitter is that The Guardian are about to bin him.

[The Weeping Angel]

I heard the same thing. Can't say I'm too surprised.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Would be surprised at that. A chunk of their readership like him and he's good at what he does. He got too close to Corbyn Labour but I'd have thought there was a role for him writing about Starmer.
