Len McCluskey could well be right, but the fact is that no matter how far the Labour party leans over backwards to appease these individuals and groups, they will always come back for more concessions and more domination.Their intention is and has always been the removal of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour leadership of which they disapprove.The evidence for this view is compelling with a daily smear offensive in the media led by the Mail, Express and Telegraph and Sky and BBC News from our televisions.
At last the Labour party has made a complaint to the press regulator, naming the Daily Mail, Sun, Times, Telegraph, Express and Metro. The time is long overdue when the lies and distortions of the media should be challenged, but at least this is a start. Personally, I would have abandoned "appeasement" long ago when this smear campaign started after Corbyn first appeared on the leadership election ballot paper and has only grown more hysterical and bellicose since.
The latest contributions from Margaret Hodge and Chuka Umunna, evidence how some individuals will never be satisfied and how they will distort and fabricate in support of their particular viewpoint.

The Labour response to the Margaret Hodge comment that Corbyn is on the "wrong side of of the line between being pro-Palestinian and anti semitic" and "the cult of Corbynism" had allowed this to happen, following on from her outburst calling Corbyn " A f******" racist and anti semite", has be answered with, "Dame Margaret's comments were extreme and disconnected from reality". A very mild response considering her crass and vitriolic attacks over recent weeks.
As for Chuka Harrison Umunna saying that the Labour party is institutionally racist and that Labour MPs are being "pushed to breaking point" by the party's battle with anti-Semitism is, as McCluskey suggests, being used as a tool to advance the possibility of a breakaway party of the usual suspects and heir few supporters, led of course by Umunna himself, (provided that he can overcome his fear of the media putting him in the spotlight). The "policy" of appeasement to these groups and people has failed. It is now time for the party to meet this head on to prevent them from taking Labour back to the days of "Top down" leadership and a numbers of members.

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...
