Tom Watson's Plan.The veneer of loyalty is finally discarded




Tom Watson calls on Labour MPs to prevent leadership contest






There is nothing different about Tom Watson's proposal for a "settlement". He is in fact, siding with the conspirators (perhaps he has been one of their number all along), in putting forward a plan for Corbyn to resign and thereby hand the Labour party to group of subversives who organised the putsch of last week. It was always the plotters expectation that Corbyn would stand down after the stage managed resignations. Then, when that failed to materialise, he would quit after the vote of "No Confidence". In this too, their assumptions came to nothing. They then had to face the disagreeable reality, that if they coveted the leadership, they would have to fight for it. This is where their duplicitous scheming began to falter, leaving them no option but to begin a war of attrition by "granting" numerous extensions of time, in order for "Jeremy to consider his position, and do the honourable thing by standing down", before they launch a leadership challenge, culminating in a ballot of all party members. In this option they have encountered their biggest and their most insoluble problem. In order to mount a leadership challenge, they have to find a candidate around which they can rally, a credible candidate who is not already tarnished with the image of a conspiratorial hypocrite. 













Their much publicised "dream ticket" of Tom Watson or Angela Eagle was blown out of the water when Watson ruled himself out of the frame and Eagle embarked on a "will she won't she" period made more complicated when her Constituency party came out in support of Corbyn. The 172 plotters (with no doubt their supporters in the media) now seem to be embarked on a bitter dispute amongst themselves trying to find a candidate around which they can all agree and have again extended their challenge deadline to Monday or perhaps even Tuesday of next week, to give Jeremy time to "consider his position". They still cling to the hope that they will have the leadership handed to them by the incumbents resignation.
Enter Tom Watson again. with his plan to avoid divisive battle through a "negotiated settlement" that would see Jeremy Corbyn stand down. There is nothing new in the "Watson Plan". It is just another tactic to bring about the resignation of the leader, and to rescue the Parliamentary Party conspirators from the predicament that they have brought upon themselves. We can only speculate on the motivation behind Watson's intervention at this time, but whatever his agenda is, he is only proposing the plotters preferred outcome of a Corbyn resignation.
The veneer of loyalty has been peeling away from Watson for some weeks. This latest intervention reveals that he, just like the rest of the 172 PLP members, is no more than a self serving opportunist masquerading as a peacemaker to end a coup which "could cause untold damage to the party".
Watson joins the hypocrites and liars dressed in a suit concealing his true identity.

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

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

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
