Labour 'moderates' attempting to crowdfund £40k to undermine Corbyn in preparation for yet another coup

Labour ‘moderates’ attempting to crowdfund £40k to undermine Corbyn in preparation for yet another coup

Labour First, the supposedly “moderate” Labour faction, are gearing up for “battle.” They have recently begun a crowdfunding campaign to pay for an organiser so they can fight against “Momentum and other Hard Left groups”. Their aim is to raise £40,000 to be spent, not on fighting the Tories, but on fighting within Labour. Their conceit, that they are “fighting to keep Labour a broad-based and…

Labour Deselections: If MPs still can't accept the leadership result, Corbyn must show them the exit

Labour Deselections: If MPs still can’t accept the leadership result, Corbyn must show them the exit

It would seem from recent events at the Labour Party conference that Momentum’s subsumption of New Labour is almost complete.  Having taken advantage of the frankly perverse leadership election process, thousands of new members and ‘registered supporters’ have delivered an even greater mandate for Jeremy Corbyn after an ill-fated attempt by the Parliamentary party to deliver them a leader they…

As they go down in flames for the second time in a year, Labour’s rootless and uninspiring centrists deserve neither respect nor sympathy for their plight

Quick, everybody reach for the tiny violins. The Telegraph’s Asa Bennett has penned a tremulous ode to Labour’s centrist MPs, encouraging these noble men and women of principle to never surrender in the face of Jeremy Corbyn’s imminent…

Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party - No Home For Centrists

Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party – No Home For Centrists

–

Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters vastly outnumber the Labour centrists. So whose party is it really?

Very slowly – journalist by journalist, publication by publication – the realisation is beginning to dawn that the unwelcome outsiders in the Labour Party are now the centrist members of the PLP, and not Jeremy Corbyn and his leftist support base.

More evidence of the humiliating capitulation to come

After Jeremy Corbyn managed to surprise everyone and trounce Theresa May at yesterday’s Prime Minister’s Questions, it was interesting to note the fulsome praise he received, even from many of his staunchest critics.

Guido compiledsome of the most striking olive branches as they flashed across Twitter, and it makes for interesting reading –…

After pompously telling anyone who will listen that they cannot possibly work with Jeremy Corbyn, Labour’s centrist MPs are preparing to bend the knee and meekly return to Corbyn’s shadow cabinet once he is re-elected leader of the party

Labour’s tantrum-throwing centrist MPs, recognising their man Owen Smith’s imminent defeat by Jeremy Corbyn in the Labour leadership contest, are apparently…

He who lives by the sword dies by the sword

Well, well well.

Once again, leftists are reminded that the revolution always eats its own:

Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign has demanded an apology from Owen Smith after the challenger apparently described his rival as a “lunatic”.

Corbyn’s team reacted with anger over claims that Smith, a shadow Cabinet minister until just weeks ago, used the…
