Sour grapes from Toynbee but a great speech from Corbyn

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/25/jeremy-corbyn-referedum-campaign


Jeremy Corbyn let us down again. says Polly Toynbee.

Toynbee again grasping an opportunity to attack Corbyn. Toynbee, the "journalist" who endorsed Yvette Cooper for the Labour party leadership (and remains full of bile and spite because Cooper came third in a four horse race) has never missed any opportunity, no matter how tenuous, to rubbish and smear the Labour leader. This time she chooses the EU referendum campaign to produce a preposterous article, arguing that it is Corbyn's performance during the campaign was "dismally inadequate, lifeless and spineless" and that consequently the "Remain" campaign lost the vote, because Labour voters chose "Leave" on the ballot paper. Toynbee's argument is both absurd and ridiculous as more Labour voters voted with the remain camp than Tory voters. Clearly, Toynbee is suffering from a severe dose of sour grapes at the referendum result, added to her historical hatred of Jeremy Corbyn. It is sad and when so called "journalist" are filled with such venom and use a ludicrous argument to continue a personal vendetta.


We have to make sure that those negotiations deliver protection our country needs.- working rights, environment and human rights. says Jeremy Corbyn




Jeremy Corbyn




I have just watched Jeremy Corbyn's speaking on television, at a post EU referendum meeting (25th June 2016).
Great speech, showing passion, vision and commitment to a better future. This was not the speech of a man about to quit his position as leader. 
The PLP and the treacherous MP's submitting or supporting the no confidence motion should bear in mind that it is they who are out of touch with the party and will bear the consequences of their duplicitous actions.
Jeremy Corbyn will become the Prime Minister of this country at the next General election, whenever such may be called.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. 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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
