Brown takes swipe at Corbyn in call for electable party
Here are four ways you can be sure you’ll be among the first to know what’s going on.
The new leader was also a signatory to one of the weirder Parliamentary motions back in 2012 – signing a motion in support of two fictional X-Men characters who were due to tie the knot in a same-sex ceremony.
“Jeremy Corbyn has formulated a number of sensible proposals with really good and popular ideas, especially on how our economy could be fixed, by stimulating industry and growth, to create proper, well paid jobs and benefit all of the people in this country, not just those at the very top”.
But, speaking after the event to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Ms Kendall vowed to continue taking the fight to left-winger and frontrunner Mr Corbyn as well as the other leadership hopefuls.
Britain’s Labour Party will open an investigation after some of its members received anti-Semitic messages for opposing a candidate for party leadership.
Many in the party believe the mechanism is being used for different reasons by both Conservative supporters and those from the hard left to skew the leadership contest in Mr Corbyn’s favour. “That’s our tradition, and it’s one we’re proud of”. “Blaenau Gwent badly needs a Labour government”.
Candidate Liz Kendall, the Shadow Care Minister who is seen as relatively right-wing, last week said: “Some of the abusive vitriolic stuff on social media has been appalling”. It found 46% of Londoners with an opinion thought Corbyn would make the best Labour leader. “But we cannot win power if we do not win the people”.
However, constituency groups including Newport East have backed Jeremy Corbyn (Newport West declined to nominate anyone.).
Many supporters of Corbyn, who wants to return the party to its socialist roots, have said that by moving towards the political centre ground under three-time election victor Tony Blair, Labour sacrificed its principles in pursuit of power. But it also seems to have clouded over the real issues confronting us a party.
The leadership race has become increasingly tense after Mr Corbyn emerged from rank outsider to favourite. “And he is able to articulate that new argument for the future rather than simply refight old battles using the language of yesterday”.
They reportedly mentioned that “we are certain that we speak for the vast majority of British Jews in expressing deep foreboding at the prospect of Mr. Corbyn’s election as Labour leader”.
In a Sunday Mirror interview she said: “Too many of these payday lenders are still ripping people off and profiting from desperation”. “It’s futile being ideologically ideal but politically impotent”. But as the years roll on, as Tory policies bite and the need for an effective opposition mounts – and oppositions are only effective if they stand a hope of winning – the public mood will turn to anger. “Sadly, I fear that the Government of Attlee and Bevan would not be elected in 2020”.
