Corbyn takes new approach to Prime Ministers’ Questions
It is understood that TSSA could use provisions for “emergency” motions to update its wording to welcome Mr Corbyn’s announcement on public ownership.
The leader says his new job requires his “undivided attention”, but also said the coalition “represents the very best in British political campaigning, and its cause of opposing war, upholding civil liberties and resisting Islamophobia will remain my cause”.
Both Ms Dugdale and Mr Rennie have this week said their party members, including their MSPs, would be allowed to campaign for independence and they would have a “free vote” on the issue. 60 per cent of Labour party’s membership voted for him.
Jeremy Corbyn vowed to end the “yah boo sucks” style of Prime Minister’s Questions before his first session holding David Cameron to account.
The SDLP said Mr Corbyn reflected their views.
“It is hard now to think with Tony Blair getting such a tough time from his own party that there was a moment when Conservatives thought: ‘How are we ever going to win again?”
Many Labour MPs want to stick to that position but Mr Corbyn and fellow Labour left MPs have called for Britain not to replace the nuclear weapons system.
Mr Corbyn is set to announce, at conference, that Labour will commit to renationalising the railways.
The Ulster Unionist Party, which has requested a meeting with Mr Corbyn, said it had been assured that Labour was committed to the consent principles when officials met shadow Northern Ireland secretary Vernon Coaker earlier in the week. Where is the understanding of why so many responded so positively to the prospect of renouncing the craven “me-tooism” that has dominated Labour for so long?
“I think the deterrent has kept the peace in the world for half a century and I hope we can have that debate in the party”.
Its leader Mick Whelan told the Star: “We will support any opportunity for the railways to be bought back into public ownership”.
Britain’s opposition Labour Party will partly back the government’s goal of achieving a budget surplus within five years but will oppose cuts that hurt investment, the poor or average earners, the party’s finance spokesman said on Saturday. Mr Corbyn is now the alternative Prime Minister and yet he openly threatens the peninsula’s economy and our country’s security.
The last thing Labour needs is to force people who might be open to this message to first have to get past with a whole range of tangential, controversial hurdles to giving them a hearing.
The new Labour leader told the Church Times on 18 September, that although his immediate family had a Christian background, he has a “Jewish element” in his background.
