Andy Burnham’s bid to win Corbyn vote

He spoke from experience about the grief and heartbreak of losing elections and said he understood why people felt hurt and fearful of runaway train of global capitalism.

Labour supporters described as “inflitrators'” by the party will get a vote in its leadership election after a climbdown in face of complaint from supporters of hard left candidate Jeremy Corbyn, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

While Mr Corbyn conceded he didn’t have a large number of rich friends himself, he reiterated his comments in this morning’s Independent newspaper that rich people would be happier paying more tax, and added “all of us are vulnerable”.

There is a risk that Labour will split if Corbyn became leader, Burnham said on Sky News on Sunday.

He said: “I published details about the event online on Facebook on the Thursday night but there were no tickets for sale at that stage”. There are a lot that is reminiscent of the cyber nationalists we saw at the referendum.

Labour party MP John Mann, a vocal critic of Corbyn and chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Anti-Semitism, said he had received over 40 such emails and tweets over the past six-weeks. “And for that we need to continuously, relentlessly wholeheartedly strive for the direct support of the people to be in power”.

The general sentiment from people I’ve spoken to is something like: At least with Corbyn at the controls the Labour party will crash and burn with its principles intact.

Amid growing concern from Labour MPs that Mr Corbyn is on the brink of unlikely victory, former prime minister Gordon Brown is expected to intervene in a speech on Sunday.

“I can see Tom running, and he would win any second contest easily”.

“I’ve not had any discussions about this”.

The former prime minister gave a speech warning that the party will be powerless to help the poorest and most vulnerable in society unless it can win a general election.

Corbyn will be hoping however, that Arsenal can sort themselves in the very near future, and put themselves in the same position that he now enjoys in the Labour leadership polls. “I have said the same about Islamophobia and other forms of racism to a minority of my constituents who make unacceptable statements”, Lewis said.

Harriet Harman, the party’s acting leader, warned senior party figures last week that almost a fifth of supporters who have joined for just £3 could be Labour opponents. I would serve the Labour Party.

The result will be announced on September 12 at a special conference with left-winger Jeremy Corbyn, the surprise frontrunner as voting begins.

Ms Kendall has told supporters she will not be giving up the fight despite trailing her rivals, claiming she would be the Labour leader the Tories feared most.

Clause IV, which backed “common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange” was removed from the constitution at a special Labour conference in Easter 1995 when the party was led by Blair.
