The EU referendum was meant to be a Tory nightmare – but it has become one for Labour. says George Eaton of the New Statesman.

The New Statesman political editor George Eaton, and some readers/commentators on the Labour Party Forum Facebook page, seem determined to undermine the Labour leadership at every opportunity however slight such opportunity may be. Quoting the usual anonymous sources, the Statesman apportions blame for a possible Brexit vote on Jeremy Corbyn. A preposterous suggestion which then leads on to the even more speculative assertion that a leadership election would be engineered by some duplicitous sections within the PLP even in the knowledge that such an election would result in another victory for Corbyn.
The agenda of the dissidents within the PLP, has since last summer, has always  been the removal of the elected leadership in favour of a Blair facsimile. In this they are encouraged by a predominately hostile media, including the New Statesman, and elements with the "Labour Party Forum" Facebook page.
It is abundantly clear, that for the purposes of expediency, they employ confuse the Labour Party with the Parliamentary Labour Party seeking to promote the views of a rump of PLP Blairites and sympathisers as the views of the party membership as a whole. In this they are very much mistaken.

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.

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.
