Oh dear. It seems that the curse of Izzard has struck again. The stand-up comedian and staunch Labour member has something of an unenviable track record when it comes to personal endorsements, having backed the euro, Ken Livingstone in 2008, Gordon Brown in 2010, ‘Yes2AV’ in 2011, Ed Miliband and then Andy Burnham in 2015, before subsequently advocating Remain in 2016 and then suffering personal defeat in that year’s Labour NEC elections.
Undaunted by this litany of failure, Izzard opted in October to stand as the party’s candidate for the safe seat of Sheffield Central. Much hand-wringing followed, with Sir Keir Starmer refusing to say if Izzard, who identifies as genderfluid, would be eligible for an all-women shortlist. He needn’t have worried: the curse of Izzard struck again, with the comedian losing out to local councillor Abtisam Mohamed at the crunch selection meeting this afternoon.

Gender Dysphoria is SOOO comical! Which is why they target prepubescent children
