http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-labour-block-article-50-theresa-may-cannot-guarantee-single-market-access-brexit-a7400266.html Labour could block Brexit by voting against Article 50  What a scurrilous and deliberately distorted headline, but indicative of this "newspaper" and its obsession to take every opportunity, no matter how tenuous the opportunity may be, to discredit the Labour party generally and Corbyn in particular.  The Labour party will oppose any move to trigger Article 50 if the Government is unable to guarantee access to the single market. There is nothing wrong  or even new with that. It is a perfectly legitimate position to state and is consistent with that already on record as being a Labour party "red line" in any "Brexit" agreement. The "Independent"s position on continued UK membership of the European Union is widely known as is their view of the recent High Court ruling ...

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...

http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2016/11/new-low-uk-newspapers-most-hysterical-frontpages-brexit-court-ruling A new low for UK newspapers: the most hysterical front-pages on the Brexit court ruling Reading the headlines on much of yesterdays front pages,it crossed my mind how reminiscent they were to the hysterical rantings of The Sun in the 1980's and 1990's particularly during the "reign" of the now discredited editor Kelvin MacKenzie. Kelvin MacKenzie Perhaps this odious "journalist" has been cloned, and now numerous facsimiles of him are distributed amongst the editorial offices of the Telegraph, Mail, Express, and (of course), the Sun.These, and other "newspapers", either by accident or more probably design have intentionally taken hold of the wrong end of the stick and covered the "story" in layers of spin in order to suit their particular agenda on membership of the European Union. ...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/junior-doctors-bma-announces-three-further-five-day-strikes-over-new-contract-a7220726.html Junior doctors: BMA announces three further five-day strikes over new contract Forget what Jeremy Hunt, Theresa May, Sky News, the Mail, Independent, Guardian, or any of the other media outlets and vested interests may tell you, the fundamental issue surrounding the proposed 5 day Junior Doctors strikes between now and Christmas is very clear. A live television interview on Sky News yesterday (1st September) with a Junior Doctor's representative, and which you will not see repeated for obvious reasons, clearly explained the situation to everyone watching the programme. In the NHS today, there is already a 24 hour 7 day week emergency cover, and that has been in place since 1948. There is also a full NHS service for the other 5 days every week, which has also been in place since 1948. ...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/23/revealed-jeremy-corbyn-had-a-seat-during-train-journey-he-claime/ The Telegraph says that: "Jeremy   Corbyn had a seat during the train journey he suggested was so "ram packed" that he had to sit on the floor. Note the "reserved" notices pinned to the seats. For crying out loud! What is it with these people? Corbyn's people say the seats were full or reserved. No they were not! screams Sir Richard Branson, we have a video! The seats were full says people on the train. The Mail, Telegraph, The i, The Times share a common thread that Jeremy Corbyn is completely discredited and his leadership is in tatters Mrs Dromey, aka Harriet Harman, on behalf of the 172 plotters and their supporters and never slow to miss an opportunity for a s nide dig, admits that she has "no idea what's going on", but feels that Jeremy is damaged.  Harriet Harman. "I have no idea what's going on...

The belief that if you ignore something it is either not happening or will soon go away is a dangerous and futile exercise. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the media and television are intent on concealing the level of attendance at the public rallies for each of the candidates in the Labour Party leadership contest. This is in marked contrast to the reporting of last years contest, when the cameras were all too keen on photographing queue's of people clamouring to attend Jeremy Corbyn's meetings and even climbing through windows to get in when the halls were full, as was invariably the case. No doubt much of the coverage then was more about novelty value than any actual interest because the media and television considered that Corbyn would not win and that the public interest in the man would soon wear off. Perhaps they even had their headlines prepared pouring scorn on Jeremy Corbyn's challenge and the "misguided" public interest in his meetings....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36633238 Corbyn office 'sabotaged' EU Remain campaign - says Kuenssberg Laura Kuenssberg   The obnoxious and politically biased Laura Kuenssberg, wastes no time in pouring out more anti Corbyn smear and bile. Using her usual unnamed "sources" in the Corbyn offices, Kuennsberg jumps into this day of turmoil brought about by resignations and sackings from the Shadow Cabinet to spread her spite and smears. Spreading oil into the flames barely does justice to this woman's hatred of the Labour party and the lengths that she will go to distort truth and manufacture fanciful stories designed discredit and vilify anyone she perceives as an opponent. To describe her as a journalist brings a once noble occupation into disrepute.It is as if she were carrying out some intricate scheme hatched in Conservative Central office with the ultimate prize of a very safe Conservative seat somewhere in the heart of rural England. She...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/13/sadiq-khan-jeremy-corbyn-get-back-habit-winning-elections?CMP=share_btn_fb Sadiq Khan calls on Corbyn to 'get Labour back in the habit of winning elections' If Khan, Cox, Umunna, Cooper, Mann and a few others within the Parliamentary Labour Party really believe that Blair and his philosophy of "New Labour" policies is the only way forward, they should do the honorable thing, resign their Labour party membership and form their own political party in the same way that the "Gang of Four" did in the 1980's.  'New Labour' consigned to the dustbin of history In their own little collection of like minded souls, they can be as conspiratorial, mischievous and hostile towards each other as they choose, in the belief (probably misguided) that the media and press will still follow them around, hanging on every word they may utter, giving them air time and column inches in the vain ...

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/06/jeremy-corbyn-leadership-labour-mps-elections "We nominated Jeremy Corbyn. Now we regret it"  Neil Coyle, MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark  Jo Cox. MP for Batley and Spen Jo Cox, the MP for Batley and Spen, first elected in 2015, who nominated Jeremy Corbyn, but voted for the Blairite candidate Liz Kendall in the subsequent leadership election, and Neil Coyle, the MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark also first elected in 2015. today seek out an opportunity to continue the duplicitous plotting against the leadership of the Labour party and Jeremy Corbyn. In their joint article in the Observer, reacting to the local election results of Thursday last (5 th May) they state that the results for Labour could have been much worse, but could and should have been much better. In support of this rather patronising remark, they bizarrely suggest that Labour should have given...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/06/jeremy-corbyn-defies-critics-labour-local-elections Jeremy Corbyn defies critics with Labour set to hold its ground in England The losses at last nights elections are not as significant for the Labour party as Mann, Cooper, Hunt, Hodge and a few others within the Parliamentary Labour Party, have been plotting and wishing for since the summer of last year. They, aided and encouraged by sections of the media, have been waging the most vitriolic and abusive campaign against the leadership of the Labour party with the objective of removing Jeremy Corbyn and those who support him. In this objective they have clearly failed, as by their own measure of what would constitute justification for removing the leadership, they have fallen short of their targets. Not that this will prevent them and an hysterical media circus from claiming that the Labour party is doomed and that only new leadership will prevent the party from descen...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/29/jeremy-corbyn-sets-up-inquiry-into-labour-antisemitism-claims Jeremy Corbyn sets up inquiry into Labour antisemitism claims. The “antisemitism” controversy currently the main media focus, is not about antisemitism. It is about certain individuals within the Parliamentary Labour Party, sections of the media and a few vested interests who have taken this opportunity to attack the leadership of the Labour party and seek an election to challenge the leader. What these cynical opportunists have actually achieved is the very opposite of that which they claim they are trying to prevent, namely the local elections for next Thursday resulting in losses for Labour at the polls. It remains to be seen whether or not these "predictions" actually materialise, It is despicable that a relative small number of members of my own party are eager form a duplicitous conspiracy to oust the party leadership, a conspiracy wh...

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/26/hillsborough-families-27-year-struggle-for-truth-vindicated Hillsborough families' 27-year struggle for truth vindicated After 27 years, the families of the victims achieve justice as the truth is finally revealed. South Yorkshire police, the South Yorkshire ambulance service, Sheffield Wednesday football club and its engineers, Eastwood and Partners, Sheffield city council and other authorities are all criticised in the jury verdicts, particularly the West Yorkshire police and , South Yorkshire Chief Superintendent  David Duckenfield. The conspiracy of lies, cover up and perversion of the course of justice is a scandal of colossal proportions, which demands speedy investigation and prosecution of those individuals, organisations and public bodies involved.Notwithstanding the apologies already made in some sections of the press, the role of the media and the part they played, particularly Kelvin McKenzie and the Sun new...
