Labour left winger Jeremy Corbyn wins place on ballot for leadership 

 



Jeremy Corbyn MP.

 


Less than 24 hours after nominations closed and Jeremy Corbyn was included on the ballot paper for the Labour Party leadership election, the media and some pundits have already started the campaign to discredit and rubbish him. According to some polls, Corbyn has a great deal of support amongst the public and party members although not (as yet) within the Parliamentary Labour Party. Between now and 10th September, we shall witness even more hostility,smear and hysterical rhetoric from the "stop Corbyn" camp. That is the way with politics in this country today.
Over the course of the next 10 weeks, people should draw their own conclusions as to who should lead the Labour Party in spite of the negativity of media, television and "pundits". I believe that Jeremy Corbyn should be the next leader of the party as the right choice for the people of the country and for the traditional position of the Labour Party.

Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
