http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/14/documents-prove-far-left-planned-to-infiltrate-labour-says-tom-watson Tom Watson claims proof of far-left planning to infiltrate Labour Tom Watson The Guardian grasps yet another straw in the wind, attempting to breath some life into Watson's rapidly declining "reds under the bed" fear mongering smear. (see comment from marsCubed herein). With this continuing hysteria from Watson, aided and abetted by the media and particularly the Guardian, the whole proposition of widespread infiltration of the Labour party by "Trots", or "Militants", or "Entryists" or some other lurid description, becomes more laughable by the day. Every "new" almost daily allegation from Watson, makes him and his supporters, including the media, look more and more desperate and ridiculous.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/13/jeremy-corbyn-tom-watson-talking-nonsense Tom Watson is talking nonsense – and he knows it Sorry Tom, it is nonsense Tom Watson is in the last desperate throws of his attempt to remove Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour party. Having now been exposed as one of the prime movers in the failed coup attempt and the conspiracy of June last, Watson resorts to the old and now discredited "reds under the bed" tactic, so popular with the Parliamentary Labour Party and those who support them, over many years. The philosophy of this contemptible, but still frequently used smear is that when they, the PLP, are loosing the arguments and see their position of power and influence in rapid decline, they resort to distorting the facts into a grotesque parody of reality, and then shouting very loudly that anyone who disagrees is a "Trot" or "Entryist" or "militant extremist" or some other description...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/10/tom-watson-sends-corbyn-proof-of-trotskyist-labour-infiltration Tom Watson sends Corbyn 'proof of Trotskyist Labour infiltration' Tom Watson has sent the Labour Party leader’s office a four-page document, based on publicly available information, but essentially comprising 30 year old pamphlets and selective quotes from books by Michael Crick, published 1n 1984 and 1985. If Watson is really genuine in his concern for the Labour party and "entryism" of forces from the extreme left, he should find more credible sources for his warnings rather than resort to the tactic, so popular with those on the right, of simply, ‘peddling conspiracy theories’ in the hope that some people may actually believe the smears. No. With his actions and Guardian (who else) interview of yesterday, Watson has finally thrown off the mask of the " honest broker" and confirmed suspicions held by some all along, that hi...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/04/corbyn-to-pledge-500bn-of-spending-in-leadership-speech#comments Owen Smith and Jeremy Corbyn set for Cardiff debate There is a leadership contest taking place over the course of the next seven weeks, between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith for the leadership of the Labour party. This leadership contest  is being held against a background of heated debate between the two camps with accusations of "splitting" the Labour party, threats of intimidation, bullying,  xenophobic comments and other exchanges. A series of live debates between the candidates have been arranged at venues around the country, for the public to hear for themselves the policy options and visions of the two contestants.How strange then, that the television media should choose not to cover the debates live on our screens. Admittedly, the media would find it difficult if not impossible, to feed the public a potted and edited version of events, with ...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/03/labour-leadership-owen-smith-jeremy-corbyn-factions Labour could 'bust apart and disappear', warns Owen  Smith. Owen Smith Last night, (3rd August 2016), on the Sky News Paper Review at 10:30, and at the same time on BBC News Channel, this article by Rowena Mason, was one of the items selected for comment. On the BBC, Clive Myrie, the BBC "presenter" of the biased viewpoint and patronising manor, was joined by Kate Devlin (of the Herald) and Tony Evans,(of the London Evening Standard) two instantly forgettable "journalists", no doubt selected by the BBC to fill this slot probably more for their political persuasion than for any balance that they may offer in their reviews. Clive Myrie On Sky News it was a broadly similar set up, where Ian Dale the LBC presenter, was joined on the sofa by Jacqui Smith, former Home Secretary in Gordon Brown's gove...

http://news.sky.com/story/1543803/blair-corbynmania-is-alice-in-wonderland Corbynmania Is 'Alice in Wonderland' . In a new warning against a Corbyn victory, Tony Blair says supporters of the Labour race frontrunner live in a "parallel reality". Another intervention from Tony Blair Sky News giving wide coverage as they play the “Blair Card” again. This comes as no surprise as Sky News, their faceless editorial staff from “upstairs”, their predominately biased news anchor's and certainly their Paper review's at 10:30pm and again at 11:00pm, every evening, have clearly shown over the past weeks, an almost hysterical anti Jeremy Corbyn slant on every possible occasion. The Blair intervention has been on every news bulletin for at least 10 minutes since th e “story” broke and pushes all other news items onto the back burner. Just why Sky News should give such hard coverage to a story (apart from taking another opportunity to attack Corb...

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/28/ed-miliband-jeremy-corbyn-labour-leadership#comments Ed Miliband not to blame for Jeremy Corbyn's rise, says former aide Tom Baldwin Just when we thought that the Guardian was running out of ideas for trashing Corbyn and those in the party who support him, Rowena Mason, has dragged out Tom Baldwin (Tom who?) to add his “weight” to the "Don't vote for Corbyn" campaign. In another existence, Rowena Mason was probably the other soothsayer sitting on the steps of the senate in ancient Rome repeating the message, "The ides of March are come! All in well in the House of Caesar!” The Guardian has dragged out the thoughts and quotations of Tom Baldwin as if they represent the beam of enlightenment which will finally ensure that their preference in the contest, Yvette Cooper, will be the next leader of the Labour party. However, an examination of what Baldwin is reported as saying reveal contradi...

  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/27/jeremy-corbyn-labour-membership-policy-leadership Jeremy Corbyn: Labour membership will determine policy, not me    Labour membership will determine policy. Not me. It is the idea that Labour party policy will be made by Labour party members and not the MP's of the Parliamentary Labour party, that is a major feature of why many of the PLP are so opposed to Jeremy Corbyn and the campaign for him to become Labour leader. It is this prospect which unites the PLP with the hysterical crusade in the media and on television, with its smear, distortion and lies in the "anyone but Corbyn" operation which has been raging for weeks. However, the Labour party has historically, held the position that the party manifesto and therefore its policy, would be determined at Annual Conference and where Conference resolutions and decision were passed, those resolutions would be included in the Labour party manife...

  http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/27/how-will-labour-top-losing-the-election-by-losing-its-own-leadership-contest Francis Martin Patrick "Frankie" Boyle is a Scottish comedian and writer, well known for his pessimistic and often controversial sense of humour. The Labour party hireachy, or the establishment, have always been pertrified of it own party membership. That is why, for decades past, the Party conference has been dominated by the Conference Arragements Committee and its numerous sub committee's, the "Resolution Compositing Committee", (to deal with troublesom resolutions usually from Constituency parties) and the Parliamentary Labour Party (or PLP) The Labour Party hireachy in collusion with the PLP, will go to any lengths and use any tactics, in order to prevent the rank and file members having any influence or control of their own party.

  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/26/labour-leadership-election-party-to-check-voting-history-of-new-supporters Labour leadership election: party to check voting history of new supporters Secret ballot What happens in the voting booth on Polling Day is a secret between the ballot paper and the voters conscience isn't it? How is it that the Labour party can "check voting history of new supporters "? If this headline is true, then the Labour party " secet police" and their methods of obtaing such information should be exposed and investigated and if necessary subjected to prosecution under the "Representation of the People Act" Or is it that this "story" is just another pathetic piece of journalistic nonsense from Rowena Mason and the pro Cooper campaign being waged by the Guardian?

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/25/labour-leadership-andy-burnham-yvette-cooper-liz-kendall-want-extra-voter-checks  The "witch hunt" continues in the Guardian   Rowena Mason, Political correspondent of the Guardian. This morning, I posted a Blog on, "This is the blackest period in the history of media and television "reporting". This afternoon the story appeared in the Guardian to the effect that "Burnham, Cooper and Kendall demand extra checks on voters" Rowena Mason, Political correspondent and her Guardian paymasters are determined to draw out this witch hunt to the very last minute. The michieveous interventions, even after the Stevenage "meeting" with Harriet Harman, seem to indicate that they at least have not given up hope of installing their prefered candidate as leader of the Labour party and will resort to any trick, distortion orsubterfuge to acheive that objective. Certainly, this "repo...
