Peerage for John Mann, Labour MP. 

John Mann Member of Parliament for Bassetlaw elected on a Labour party platform, has served on the Treasury Select Committee, and has he has chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group against Antisemitism. He has been a fierce critic of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour leadership and is counted amongst the usual suspects in the PLP who have been seeking to remove Corbyn since 2015. His infamous altercation with Ken Livingstone calling him a "Nazi apologist" and a "f****** disgrace", but repeatedly checking that he was still in the frame of the camera lens, clearly demonstrated how Mann was and still is, more concerned with keeping himself at the front of the picture to promote his own image.

John Mann, the hypocrite, the fierce critic of the party that gave him his career, the political opportunist, has now been elevated to the House of Lords, with a Peerage bestowed upon him by non other than Theresa May to go with his new Government appointment as "anti-semitism tsar".

The rewards of supporting the Theresa May government on numerous issues at the same time as criticising his own party leadership, are now given to Mann in a sordid appointment to the Lords with all the additional "perks" that a Peerage attracts.

The independent watchdog on Lords appointments warned that it would set a dangerous precedent and could be seen as a bribe

He will not be missed in Bassetlaw or in the Labour party.

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

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.

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
