Labour, BREXIT and 'no deal'
Jump to: Newest in thread
"What’s a bit of anti-Semitism between friends? I mean, in the scheme of things, can’t we just ignore that sort of thing?
And while we’re about it, can’t we see past support for terrorists? In the national interest, surely that’s something we can overlook.
The most important thing, after all, is that those who fear the consequences of a no-deal Brexit unite to see that it doesn’t happen. And if that means installing Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street as a caretaker prime minister, then who could stand in the way of that procedure? Surely only a monster could."
This week Labour has decided that the Liberal Democrat leader, Jo Swinson, is that monster. Her refusal to countenance a Corbyn premiership proves as much. You might think that the real villains of the piece are those in power, but Corbyn's Labour Party knows better.
Corbyn and his chums seem to be ignoring the fact that among those who would be required to support a Corbyn premiership are MPs who left the Labour Party because of its perceivedthe poison on anti-Semitism. They also seem to be blind to the fact that Corbyn would also need the backing of former Tory MPs, stripped of the Tory whip and ChangeUK MPs, many of whom recall, vividly, both the IRA’s bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the 1984 Conservative Party conference and are at best sceptical of the Corbyn's past associations with the IRA and other questionably legitimate organisations.
Corbyn is also well known as an ardent Eurosceptic who has blocked efforts by colleagues to have Labour adopt a strong Remain position. Corbyn may wail in public about Johnson and BREXIT but, away from the TV cameras, he’ll be perfectly happy. He and Johnson will have got what they both want.
If Labour MPs are serious about stopping Johnson from dragging the UK out of the EU without a deal, they should stop their attacks on Swinson and, instead, start working with fellow opposition members to find a candidate on whom all can agree.

I think Labour will be within grasp of power at the next General Election
All they need for victory is all new people and policies and I think they'll walk it   |

If someone is 100% behind something, they will do everything that they can to secure it. Installing a very short term remit-limited PM, with a cross party cabinet, would be nothing, if you have 100% set your goal, with past issues being written off in the short term, whilst you achieve the goal in those few weeks |

Well aside from the fact that he is left wing not right wing.. a socialist not a fascist and a Democrat not a dictator... but don't let the facts get in the way of a good tag line |
