UB40 backs UK opposition leader Corbyn in leadership contest
Results of the latest poll in The Times show that he is set to be defeated by Corbyn, who has a large and dedicated following of staunch Labour party members. They want the United Kingdom to stay within the single market.
As part of his campaign to be re-elected as Labour leader, Corbyn outlined plans to ban fracking, re-establish the Department of Energy and Climate Change and create 300,000 jobs in the renewables sector.
While Corbyn is outlining his housing policy on The Andrew Marr Show, Tom Watson will creep up behind and drop his pants, and the next day when Labour is on 0 per cent in the polls, he’ll say: “I told you Corbyn was useless”.
Smith said a win for the current leader would not inevitably lead to a split but he would not serve in a Corbyn shadow cabinet because he did not feel he could do so with integrity.
Mr Corbyn was challenged by a member of the audience over his relationship with Hamas. “This is the biggest choice people face in a generation between Labour seeming increasingly irrelevant and being seen once more as a credible alternative government to the Tories”. Smith said it was understandable that the Jewish community did not feel represented by the party, as it had not done enough to root out antisemitism.
“We’ve seen some of those flags and banners at some of Jeremy’s rallies and some of those people are bringing attitudes that I don’t think are welcome”. Published on Wednesday 7 September 2016Some people have accused Jeremy Corbyn of being stuck in the early 1980s and out of touch with what’s going on in Britain today.
Tickets for the Jewish News’ Labour leadership hustings have been snapped up in record time. “There is absolutely no doubt”. “Perhaps the same reticence about standing up for Britain’s place in the European Union which led you to campaign so ineffectively for Remain also puts you off exposing the weaknesses and contradictions in the Government’s position – but continuing to fail to take Theresa May on over Brexit would be a dereliction of duty”. “I have spent my life opposing racism in any form, as have you”, Corbyn said, making clear he had never supported Hamas.
The TV debate came after Ed Balls lambasted Mr Corbyn, claiming he doesn’t actually want to win an election and become Prime Minister. Neither candidate knew the questions in advance.
A Jeremy For Labour spokeswoman said: “Smith’s dodgy dossier is a new low in his increasingly desperate and negative campaign”.
A Labour Party spokesperson told Bristol24/7: “The Labour Party has a robust validation process for all votes to ensure every vote cast is eligible in keeping with the Labour Party rules”.
So you hear of reasons for being banned such as “tweeting a preference for cucumbers over spring onions”, or “supporting a candidate who wasn’t in the Labour Party, on the grounds it was the 2009 final of X Factor and there was no official Labour candidate”.
