Another coup attemp by the PLP

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-mps-table-motion-of-no-confidence-in-jeremy-corbyn-a7100561.html


Jeremy Corbyn faces no-confidence motion after Britain votes to leave EU,





Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey, two of the usual suspects within the Parliamentary Labour Party, who have always been eager to grasp any opportunity (or even straw), to pour scorn and derision on Corbyn and the party leadership. Hodge and Coffey, have consistently shown Blairite tendencies and after their candidate in last years leadership election managed to disappear into the obscurity, they have, since that time been plotting and conspiring with the others of that persuasion to smear and undermine Corbyn as they are unable to accept the decision of the membership and the 64% vote which put Corbyn into the position. In this exercise of duplicitous sedition, the conspirators have been aided and supported by a media and television, hostile to the Labour party and its elected leadership. The latest accomplice to crawl out from the woodwork to add his "weight" to the call for a vote of confidence is John Mann, famous for his self serving outbursts and his attempted meddling in the leadership contest, still keen to talk over opposition ans shout down criticism of himself or his point of view.



 Ann Coffey Margaret Hodge and Jeremy Corbyn



This latest no confidence attempt at a coup is as preposterous as it is sinister. To submit this motion today, of all days, demonstrates a crass miscalculation of both the mood of the country and, moreover, the mood of the majority of Labour party members. Do Hodge, Coffey and Mann honestly believe that the membership of the party would allow them to overthrow an elected leader of only some 12 months? It may well be that a section of the PLP could secure just enough votes to bring about a very close result, but the consequences of such a vote would have effects within the party membership of seismic proportions and mass resignations from the membership. The PLP conspirators were wrong in May when they predicted huge losses in the Council elections. People voted Labour in droves retaining council seats and winning overall control of councils. The same would be true in a General election, but should circumstances arise where Corbyn was not the leader, then Labour would be annihilated at the polls as people around the country recognised the cynicism and duplicity of a few self serving MP's who betray principle and sincerity for personal advantage and gain.
Even now, this absurd notice of motion can be withdrawn and the movers can save themselves the embarrassment of defeat and save the party from the possibility of mass resignations.

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 writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
