Sides in Labour leadership contest query each other’s party loyalty

Now I’ve been a member of my party since a teenager in 1982 and have fought the Labour Party for many years and I’m certainly no friend of Peterborough Labour Party – but I know many good and honourable Labour MPs and they deserve better than Jeremy Corbyn and his adolescent Trotskyist platitudes. This should set alarm bells ringing.

“If you took a map of this country and picked out the poorest areas, and Hull certainly comes in as one of the poorest areas, and colour that in, say, blue and you then drew another map of areas with the greatest cuts put in in red, they would be the same places”.

Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw, a vocal critic of Mr Corbyn, also said it was right that the NEC “should be able to make its own decisions without having them overturned”.

Mrs Hodgson, who has served as an MP for over a decade, says she will now throw her support behind Mr Smith’s bid to wrestle control of a party she says is now in “dire straits”.

Earlier, shadow chancellor John McDonnell had urged Mr Smith to condemn the minority of MPs supporting his campaign who “are threatening to subvert the outcome of this election and cause enormous damage to the Labour Party”.

The Labour leader pledged to ban zero-hours contracts, increase the living wage and repeal the Trade Union Act, which limits strike powers.

“[Mr Foster] has been very generous in the way he has offered financial support to the party in the past… but it is disappointing that somebody appears to think they are bigger than the party”, he said.

The result will be announced at a special conference in Liverpool on September 24. Based on his stated opposition to austerity, militarism and war the vast majority of the party’s more than half a million members and supporters endorse Corbyn.

British news channels are blatantly biased against Jeremy Corbyn, giving far more airtime to commentators who openly criticize the Labour Party leader than those who support him, a second study of the phenomenon shows.

She wrote: “I did not vote for Jeremy to be Leader a year ago, but I chose to support him by accepting the position of Shadow Minister for Children, an area that is close to my heart. We have defeated them on a lot of things and we can continue to do that”.

In order to get re-elected, Corbyn needs to defeat former BBC producer Owen Smith, who was once Corbyn’s shadow work and pensions secretary. “I’ve never seen a party like it. It’s a farce”.

He added: “I think Labour is standing on the edge of the precipice right now”.

When asked to compare high-profile politicians to Game Of Thrones characters, the focus groups gave responses which explained perfectly two major reasons why Corbyn will more than likely win the upcoming contest.

Should a split occur in the Labour Party, despite Corbyn’s appeals, any movement he leads based on his watered-down reformist prescriptions would prove no more effective in defending the working class and opposing capitalism than he has been as Labour leader.
