Tristram Hunt, former MP and former Labour member has called for either David Miliband or Khand to form a party to directly challenge Labour. He reckons they are “strong, substantive leaders”. Really? In his first couple of years as Mayor of London, Khan has broken ALL of his election promises and presided over a rise in violent crime, including THIRTEEN murders in ELEVEN days. If Khan is a strong, substantive leader, I hate to see how much worse London would be with a weak, UNsubstantive leader. There’s also the fact that he’s spent more of his time publicly slagging off Trump than he has doing his job. And he’s made at least three trips to America. Hunt also made the laughably absurd claim that Britain is crying out for its own Emmanuel Macron. I don’t about you, but I don’t anyone who’s crying to have a politician who bears even a passing resemblance to the French granny snatcher. Then again, like a lot of his former colleagues, Hunt can hardly claim to know the first thing about the working class.
A lot of Labour’s female MP’s and supporters are up in arms over numerous claims of sexism and sexual impropriety in the Labour Party. Again, Corbyn claims he’s taking a zero tolerance approach to such behaviour, and again, he’s yet to back it up with action. Two female Labour members, one an MP and one an activist, have made claims of sexual harassment against Labour MP Kelvin Hopkins. The activist, Ava Etemadzadeh alleged last year that Hopkins sent her an inappropriate text message and rubbed his crotch against her. This prompted MP Kerry McCarthy to allege that she received unwanted attention from Hopkins when they were both Labour Councillors in the 1990’s. Hopkins denies the allegations. Labour HQ’s response to Etemadzadeh’s allegations by trying to force her to meet Hopkins face to face, so that he could question her over the allegations. A number of female MP’s and activists are threatening to quit the party if an unnamed male MP doesn’t have the whip removed for allegedly physically abusing his wife. There was a big meeting over it, attending by Harriet Harperson. Others threatened to quit if Labour changed its rules regarding all female candidate lists, to include men who identify as women. And there have been several other allegations of sexual abuse/unwanted advances against male MP’s and party members.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Corbyn is not a leader. He and his disciples like to portray as a kindly, wise uncle type figure. Like a lot of things with Labour under his stewardship, that is a lie. Once any interview of him when he thinks he’s being given a hard time. The mask of kind uncle Jeremy slips, and his true personality is revealed. A nasty, hateful, far left loon, who despises anyone who’s opinion differs to his. He claims he’s not a career politician, but he’s NEVER had a proper job outside politics. He even got involved with left wing politics while still at school. His front bench team are pathetic joke. He’s got Thornberry, a woman who tweeted a sarcastic photo of a house covered in St George Cross flags. The implication being she thought it pathetic, as his Shadow Foreign Secretary. He’s got the Abbotopotamus, his ex-girlfriend and world class cretin as his Shadow Home Secretary. He made John McDonnell, a fellow IRA supporter, his Shadow Chancellor. And they’re the BEST of his front bench. He recently kicked Owen Smith off the front bench for calling for a second referendum. The Abbotopotamus did the same thing a few months ago, but Corbyn hasn’t sacked her. None of them seem to sing from the same hymn sheet. The issue of Brexit saw them make conflicting comments on national TV. Then again, nobody seems to know whether Corbyn is for or against the EU. Despite making it official that Labour would keep us in the Customs Union, we keep hearing the claim that Corbyn is against the EU. Thanks to him, Labour have gone into a distinct downward spiral. It says a lot about how bad the Tories under Theresa the Appeaser are that they aren’t further ahead in the polls.
