So be it.



So be it.
The anti Corbyn, Stop Labour winning at any cost coalition, have achieved their aim and handed Johnson a huge majority in the House of Commons. Television, Newspapers, Dis affected Labour Party members, elements of the PLP, those who have shouted from the rooftops that the Labour Party is antisemitic, can sit back this morning and gloat on their success. They have handed Johnson an open cheque to "Get Brexit Done" and then sell this country off to Trump and American business interests. They have given him 5 years to create a society for the few not the many.
I despair and grieve for the people of this nation. The people who remain reliant on Food banks to feed their families. The people who are and will remain homeless on our streets. The pensioners who are faced with ever increasing costs for food, fuel to heat their homes, as well as declining cars services. The cash starved NHS where nurses, doctors and other staff who face increasing work loads and frustrations. Those on Zero Hour contracts who have no stability in their weekly budgeting. The ever increasing list of people on Council Homes waiting lists who now have little prospect of ever being housed.
We are faced with a real possibility that this country will crash out of the EU without any "deal". The resultant job losses, increased costs for people and business will be catastrophic. Many people who voted Conservative last night may well rue the day when they were taken in by the lies of the hard Brexit lobby and the smears directed at the Labour party. 
It was a disastrous election for Labour, but it is the people of this country who will ultimately pay the price for Conservative win.

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...

Workers face ban on striking .

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/15/trade-unions-conservative-offensive-decades-strikes-labour?CMP=share_btn_fb     Tories launch biggest crackdown on trade unions for 30 years         The Labour party must oppose the continuing assault on ordinary people in this country. Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.

A mess entirely of the Conservative government's own making.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-theresa-may-brexit-without-delay-a7399101.html May must set out Brexit plan 'without delay’ Before the referendum there was always a belief that the result would be debated in Parliament. What completely threw this government was that no one expected the result and Cameron had no plan for the possibility that that the people would vote leave. Theresa May is now faced with a referendum result, (a referendum which of course is "advisory") which she believes might be overturned by Parliament. In order to appease some elements of her party and other vested interests, she has chosen to use "Royal Prerogative" to pass the necessary legislation to trigger Article 50 without debate in Parliament. I believe that she is wrong and that the High Court judges are absolutely correct. I also believe that it would be a very brave or very foolish MP who would completely igno...
