This Conservative government is
literally getting away with murder. In the meantime of course, there
are certain people within the Parliamentary Labour Party, motivated
by their own personal agenda's and encouraged by the television and
media (who also have their own but different agenda's), who are
actively and enthusiastically engaged in a war against the
democratically elected leadership of the party. They spew vitriol and
derision against any who criticise them while at the same time
accusing all who do not share their views, of spreading division
within the party and engaging in “civil warfare”.They seek a
renaissance of a quasi Blair philosophy, wrapping diluted
conservative policies in a veneer of “social conscience” and
calling it Labour.
Little thought or action is given to
engaging the real enemy, while in pursuit of maintaining and
bolstering their own position with the party.. The enemy which has
created and ferments social division within this country. The enemy
which is systematically dismantling our NHS and pouring £millions
into the pockets of the shareholders of private agency nursing staff
companies instead of filling staff shortages with trained full time
nurses. The Conservatives boast that the numbers of people in work is
at the highest level for many years. They are not challenged with the
fact that the vast majority of people being removed from the
unemployed figures are now in part time employment or worse still, on
“Zero Hour” contracts and are being manipulated to show an “on
paper” reduction in unemployment figures. Almost daily, the
government introduce more measures to reduce welfare payments or
restrict the rights of Trade Union members or to erode civil
liberties and the capacity of ordinary people to have redress to law.
This list of this governments malicious legislation directed against
the people of the country is almost endless and shows no signs of
abating.
Against this background, the
Parliamentary Labour Party, or certainly sections of it, are
convinced that their actions over the past weeks and months are in
the best interests of working people in this country. The sick, the
unemployed, the pensioners, the disabled will all apparently benefit
from the removal of Jeremy Corbyn from the leadership and all those
party members who gave Corbyn 60% victory in the leadership election.
That is the driving force for these people who clearly put self and
self interest ahead of any other consideration and as they continue
directing their opposition towards other members of the PLP and the
party membership, the conservative government enjoy a clear route
towards their stated objective of dismantling the structure of the
State, pursuing the privatisation of what remains of publicly owned
assets and ensuring that their friends in the city grow even richer
at the expense of ordinary people.

Those elements within the PLP must come
to terms with the simple fact that today’s Labour Party is
different from that which they seek to recreate and also that the
Labour Party will never again fall under the repressive and
authoritarian control of a cabal of "neo blarites" and
their sympathisers.
The real enemy is the Conservative
government. The PLP will do well to recognise that simple fact.
