Giving crdeibility to a scurrilous distraction shows a naive personality.

  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/28/harriet-harman-we-are-weeding-out-bogus-labour-leadership-voters Harriet Harman: we are weeding out bogus Labour leadership voters Harriet Harman: A very naive personality How far will the present leadership go to appease an hysterical media and television campaign to discredit and undermine the election process? Harman has fallen into the trap engineered by elements on the right and has demonstrated a very naive personality. To even acknowledge the "infiltration" distraction and then to give it credence by defending "the integrity of her party’s leadership election system", evidences the extent to which the Blairites and the right, emboldened by the media and Tory supporters, are prepared to sink in order to achieve the election of their preferred candidate. The electorate will never vote for a party which offers the same policies as the Conservatives, but with a different coloured wrapping. The ...

MP John Mann oversteps the mark as he urges Harriet Harman to suspend the Labour leadership election

http://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2015/07/25/labour-leadership-race-should-be-halted-over-infiltrators-mp-john-mann-says/ Labour leadership race should be halted over 'infiltrators', MP John Mann says John Mann. MP for Bassetlaw John Mann urges Harriet Harman to suspend the Labour Leadership contest, due to "infiltrators" affecting the outcome. What the member for Bassetlaw actually means is that because his preference for the leadership of the party is likely to be beaten in the election, the goalposts should be moved to ensure a more acceptable outcome at some leadership election in the future. In this objective, he joins a group of other MP's who are desperately seeking to prevent Jeremy Corbyn from becoming leader. The other conspirators in this odious plot of innuendo and smear, skulk in the shadows making noises, but who hide behind a cloak of anonymity, too cowardly to reveal their identities and true motives. It is indeed ironic, ...

Jeremy Corbyn gaining more support

http://www.jeremyforlabour.com/open_letter_from_2015_labour_candidates Open letter from 2015 Labour candidates Leadership candidates Support for Jeremy Corbyn to be the next leader of the Labour party grows by the hour. The media and television are petrified at this prospect and are indulging in a vitriolic and noxious campaign of smear, innuendo and hysterical scare tactics in an attempt to influence the party members to vote for an alternative candidate. In this nasty negative agitation, they are aided and abetted by some current Labour MP's and former party members such as Blair, David Milliband and Man dellson, who seem determined to vilify the only candidate proposing a real alternative to their tired old policies. The growing number of ordinary people joining or rejoining the Labour party indicates that Jeremy Corbyn has struck a chord with people across the country. This open letter from some of the 2015 candidates adds support and another perspec...

David Milliband, Blairite former Foreign Secretary, throws his support behind Liz Kendall

  http://news.sky.com/story/1524306/david-miliband-backs-leader-with-new-ideas The former Foreign Secretary appeals to Labour not to vote for Jeremy Corbyn. Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband Milliband Major emerges from his self inflicted exile in New York as  President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee to reveal to the waiting throng how he believes that the Labour party needs "new ideas" and drops the broadest hint that members should vote for Liz Kendal, the Blairite candidate. Now there is a surprise. Liz Kendall; Trailing in 4th place in the leadership race. Milliband Major's thinly veiled criticism if not hostility towards Jeremy Corbyn should also not surprise anyone, who will remember how this Blair camp follower and sycophantic admirer of the "Blair legacy" was rejected by Labour in favour of his brother Milliband Minor. The elder of the two, never really came to terms with his loss and stalked off ...

Another SDP style split?

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/23/jeremy-corbyn-win-could-cause-sdp-style-labour-split-says-donor John Mills, one of the Labour party’s biggest benefactors, says wealthy supporters could withdraw backing if Corbyn wins leadership election John Mills, one of Labour’s biggest donors Another pseudo Blairite threatens Labour party members to vote for the proper, (ie his preference, Kendall), candidate or else. No doubt John Mills is also one of those siren voices bleating that "the Unions" have too much influence in the Labour party because of the money they donate to party the organisation. (Mills is another of those hypocrites who conveniently forget that the Labour party was created by the TUC not by a privileged bunch of rich businessmen or women). The "Gang of Four" In 1981, Roy Jenkins,David Owen, William Rodgers and Shirley Williams led a few other MP's and some part voters, off into the sunset to form a ...
