Yesterday it became apparent that, in a tragic miscarriage of justice, my name has been left off the ballot papers for Labour leadership. This is supposedly because I did not “officially” nominate myself – further proof that those in the higher echolons of the Party fear me.
They don’t fear that I would be an unsuccessful leader, bringing about the collapse of the Labour Party, but they fear the change I represent. And they fear that I would be too successful. Have any of the other candidates had the boldness to put their name to a campaign so vital and controversial as the ‘PETS DYING IS IMMORAL’ one, for example?

I see this not as a death toll for my aspiration, nor even a setback. Rather it inspires me to work harder, overcome adversity and lead Labour into the future. Labour needs to be the party of the future; the party of change, innovation and imagination. I am the candidate of change and innovation. I am the imaginary candidate.
That’s why the mere ommission of my name from the ballots will not slow down the Garner locomotive. Tomorrow I’ll be uploading another video, outlining how I can still win and explaining how you can help.
