When will the Corbyn nightmare END - Corbyn Era

Telegraph: Reports on a Shadow Cabinet member on Corbyn, " .. is not credible enough to lead Labour to victory, a member of his shadow cabinet has said after the party suffered its worst result at the local elections for 30 years and was beaten into third place in Scotland. "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party has to learn to LOVE Tony Blair again, that is the only way it can win a election, it must get rid of Corbyn and his fellow travellers on the left and return the Labour Party to the middle of UK politics.  There needs to be a coup against Corbyn, a new leader needs time to bed in, the more that Labour waits the harder it will be to get rid of Corbyn, that was the mistake with Brown and Miliband, in election cycles Party loyalty does not matter, it is about winning. 

No UK Government takeover of TATA Steel in South Wales

BBC News: Reports " Business Secretary Sajid Javid says nationalisation is not the answer for the Port Talbot steel works in Wales. "

Lets Get Real:

ALL day Jeremy Corbyn has been around South Wales demanding that the UK Government take over TATA Steel in South Wales, the 1980s seem to have passed Corbyn by, there are EU rules to prevent government handouts to a business that is failing.   The Labour Party is having a mid life crisis, the Labour side go on about the Community, well as it was said in the 80s there is no such thing as Community, the people of Port Talbot will have to get on their bikes and move or gain new skills.   The failure of government control of steel land coal is well known, if Steel can not match its price to others it should be CHOPPED, and go the way of dodo. No more bleeding heart stories on the BBC, nothing lasts forever, even the BBC, the Government should tell the BBC to cut it out or the government will sell them off. 

Jeremy Corbyn SAVES the PM - Conservative Government

Telegraph: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn has David Cameron on the ropes... then punches himself in the face..To the amazement of MPs and observers, the Labour leader fails to ask the Prime Minister about the resignation of Iain Duncan Smith  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM David Cameron must thank his lucky stars that he has FACED Ed Miliband and now Jeremy Corbyn,  when the PM is in trouble he can  count on the opposition to save him, IDS had been scanthing in his resignation letter and in his interviews and Corbyn does not even bring it up, lets hope the Labour Party keep Corby in power in till 2020, the man is a god send to the Conservatives. 

Jeremy Corbyn the next Labour Leader - Post 2015 Election

Guardian: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn’s critics back away from bid to elect shadow cabinet..Labour MPs including Chuka Umunna and Tristram Hunt have called on colleagues to accept the result and embrace unity if Corbyn wins  "

Lets Get Real:

The Guardian/BBC types will be happy that Jeremy Corbyn will win the election, its their kind of left wing out there agenda that will run the Labour Party.    As a political opposition the Labour Party will become a joke, they can forget 2020 and 20205 general elections, one only hopes that David Miliband comes back in time to save the Party.    The Conservartives only problem will be the regular backbench opposition.   The Party only has a majority of 12, thus No 10 has to keep them in line and keep their support.    What a great day Saturday will be when Corbyn wins, the Conservativers can rest a bit in till 2025. 

Corbyn says NO to UK TROOPS to fight DAESH - Post 2015 Election

Telegraph: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn says no to deployment of UK troops in final Labour leadership debate..Front runner Jeremy Corbyn tells the final Labour leadership hustings he "can't think" of any circumstances in which he would back deployment of British troops abroad "

Lets Get Real:

This is the choice that the Labour Party has, to go over a cliff with Jeremy Corbyn or to vote for any body else, the Labour Party faces internal fights if Corbyn wins, the man does not even support NATO.   Corbyn has shown that he is to pro Russia, would not defend our allies and out national interests.   The Labour Party has to get over Iraq and Tony Blair, and show that is still wants power.   This is a call for ALL rational Labour supporters to vote for anybody but Corbyn, otherwise forget being the official opposition. 

The Corbyn Foreign Policy - Post 2015 Election

Telegraph: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn's rivals turn on his extremist links and Nato criticism in heated TV debate..Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall round on Mr Corbyn as he is pinned down on series of foreign policy positions  "

Lets Get Real:

Does the Labour Party ever want to form a Labour Government again, if the Party votes for Jeremy Corbyn for leader then they can write off the 2020/25 election.   Jeremy Corbyn was only allowed on the ballot as to keep the left happy, they very idea of him winning should send a shock waves through older members of the Party, those that recall the 1980s.  Lady Thatcher kept winning elections because the Labour Party lost touch with the public, they wanted left wing purity, that meant that the Party was out of power for eighteen years.   The Party should be on its knees to Tony Blair to thank him for his elections wins, if your a Blair support now its a term of insult.   The Party needs to get back to the centre otherwise it is finished and the UK will have one party rule for the next few decades. 

David Miliband on Corbyn - Election 2016

Daily Mail: Reports " Britain could become a 'one governing party state' with the Tories ALWAYS in power if Jeremy Corbyn wins, warns David Miliband  "

Lets Get Real:

Mr Miliband senior speaks the truth to the Labour Party, for this blog a one party State under the Conservatives would be fantastic, but if you're  a true Democrat you want to see a good opposition keeping the any government on its heels.   A Corbyn Labour Party would cause a civil war within Labour after a few weeks, the majority of the UK population is never going to be as left wing as a Corbyn Labour Party.   Thus real Labour voters have to vote for either Ms Cooper or Liz Kendall,  a vote for Andy Burnham would give the Labour Party five more years of  a Northern Ed Miliband.   The Labour Party faces a choice either get real or be thrown in to the dustbin of politics.  That is the choice for Labour. 

Burnham Waffle - Labour Leadership Contest

Telegraph: Reports " Andy Burnham: Labour's base has crumbled - we can't take anything for granted now..Andy Burnham, once the favourite to lead Labour, says his formidable rival Jeremy Corbyn isn't to blame for the party's crisis  "

Lets Get Real:

One gets the impression that Mr Burnham is a Northern Ed Miliband, the favourite at the start of the election he has seen his base of support move to Mr Corbyn.    IF Andy Burnham had fire in his belly it has gone very quite, you have to want the Labour leadership and you do what you have to do when it comes to taking the prize,  that means getting your hands dirty if you want to lead.    IF this blog had a choice it would be Liz Kendall, she comes from the right wing of the Party, but that base has become narrowed after Gordon Brown came in to power.   Interesting month ahead for Labour. 

Brown to ATTACK Corbyn !! - Labour Leadership Contest

Guardian: Reports " Gordon Brown to speak on Labour leadership as MPs panic over Corbyn..Labour MPs – among whom support for Corbyn is low – pushing for an intervention from Brown, who they believe has more credibility than Tony Blair "

Lets Get Real:

Lets see if former Prime Minister Gordon Brown can BRING the Labour Party to its senses, the former PM was very effective in Scotland when they had their vote if they wanted to remain part of the UK.   THE question is has the old New Labour hands left it to late to change the course of the leadership election.   The BIG MO is behind Corbyn, it almost like the Labour Party has given up on government for the future and is looking to be politically pure.   THERE is a cost to being pure, you're not in government and its not fun being in the opposition for two decades. 

New Labour Attacks Corbyn - Labour Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn is the political version of SUSAN BOYLE who people feel they 'have to back', says Alastair Campbell  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Mr Campbell strikes, his article of yesterday and now this, the old New Labour creators must be really worried, they have the Iraq Report to come and and now this, one can see Mr Corbyn throwing Blair etc out of the Labour Party if the Iraq report is damaging. If you're a Conservative you are having a good time, Labour tearing itself apart, lets have more fun, one can only wish that Mr Corbyn wins, then the Conservative Party will not face any real opposition in till 2025.  Even if one of the others win the Party has moved to the left, being left might make the Labour Party members happy but it will not win elections.  There is an old saying, be careful for what you wish for, it might happen. 

New Labour vs. Old Labour - Post 2015 Election

Daily Mail: Reports " Very 'survival of the Labour party' under threat, warns Jack Straw as Corbynmania sees 400,000 sign up for leadership election "

Lets Get Real:

The old New Labour hands have started to make their presence felt, that is good, they have to use every tactic in the book to prevent Jeremy Corbyn becoming leader, a Corbyn win would mean that the UK did not have a real opposition, the general voter will laugh at a Corbyn leadership, it would be for Labour the return to the opposition years of the early 1980s.   Corbyn wants to retaken the railways back under public control, take over business, regulate the private sector so it does not work.  Also he wants a closer link with Russia, the end of NATO, you get the idea voter.   As a Conservative blog this blogger wants Corbyn to win, the Conservative Party will then not have to worry in till 2025.

NEW LABOUR vs. Old Labour - Labour Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Reports " The Labour leadership contest plunged into further acrimony today after Tony Blair's former spin chief Alastair Campbell said a victory for Jeremy Corbyn would be a 'car crash' which would guarantee the Tories another five years in power. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog was wondering when the old hands of New Labour would start to get in to the fight, they have left it late, it seems that Jeremy Corbyn is on course to be the next Labour Leader.   The Labour Party will split in six weeks, how can those from the Blair wing of the Party serve with an extreme left winger, it would be the 1980s all over again.   The New Labour machine was seeing as a winning combination, so time for that machine to make sure anyone but Corbyn wins, pull any political strokes they have too, in other words go in hard against Corbyn.   This blog is a Conservative blog and proud, but even we on the Conservative side see the need for an opposition that is a real threat, so for the sake of Democracy if nothing else it has to be ABC, anyone but Corbyn. 

Corbyn and disarmament - Labour Leadership Election

Guardian: Reports " Corbyn to set out plans for UK nuclear disarmament 70 years after Hiroshima..Labour leadership hopeful will vow to scrap Britain’s Trident programme at CND event marking anniversary of 1945 bombing of Japanese city "

Lets Get Real:

IF the UK gave up its nuclear missiles it would be a national disaster and open the UK to be blackmailed by even North Korea.   One gets the impression that Mr Corbyn has been caught out by his own success and at the end of the day does not want to be Labour leader, it would be a thankless job even for Mr Corbyn,  most of his MPs would be after his head after a few months if he was lucky, the Labour Party would go so left it would never get elected again to government.   This is madness by Labour, when will the grown ups take charge, or is it to late for New Labour within the Labour Party. 

End the Labour Madness - Alan Johnson, Former Home Secretary

Guardian: Reports " Labour must 'end the madness' over Jeremy Corbyn, says Alan Johnson..Former home secretary says party should back Yvette Cooper because she can unite the party to win power  "

Lets Get Real:

The problem with Yvetter Cooper is that she is married to Ed Balls, the once right hand man for Gordon Brown, the Blair or virus section of the party might think they have gone down the Gordon Brown road with Ed Miliband and do not want to lose in 2020.   But on the other hand it would allow time for David Miliband to come back after a few years and take the Party in to the 2020 election, as a campaigner Ms Cooper does not impress and is too rigid in the House of Commons.  At least Ms Cooper is not CORBYN, and it would be up to her to show that Ed Balls is not pulling the strings from behiond the curtain or their front door.   If only Mr Johnson had wanted to be leader, he would have saved the Party a lot of stress over the last few weeks. 

The Burnham Family vs. Corbyn - Labour Leadership Contest

Telegraph: Reports on the views of the mother and father of Any Burnham, the article notes the following, " Mr Burnham's 75-year-old mother, Eileen, and father Roy, 74, both attacked Mr Corbyn over his plans to move Labour further to the left. "

Lets Get Real:

The important month is August, the Country on the whole goes on holiday that month, even Westminister, so who ever really wants the job has to campaign when everyone else has turned off and looking for a good time at the beach.   This is the time for Liz Kendall to get her high heels and to start to hit the opposition, being Labour Leader is a thankless job at the best of times, and it is not the best of times, thus the candidates will have to make their presence felt, do interviews, go around the Country, make sure your on the social media, and if ALL else fails, PRAY, can not do any harm. 

Kinnock on Corbyn Surge - Labour Party Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Report " Jeremy Corbyn is backed by 'malign Trots' warns ex-Labour leader Neil Kinnock as he urges members to back Andy Burnham  "

Lets Get Real:

Ever once in a blue moon Kinnock gets it right, this was the former leader who stated at the election of Ed Miliband that they had gotten their Party back, meaning back from New Labour, the Party structure that won three elections for Labour.   Mr Kinnock calls for the election of Any Burnham, this would be a mistake, Mr Burnham the former Health Secretary would be a northern Ed Miliband, it would not end well, the only real candidate is Liz Kendall, she comes from the Blair wing of the Labour Party, or the virus Part if you take in the views from the Trade Unions.  Time for Labour voters to think with their heads and vote Kendall. 

Split in Labour Shadow Front Bench - Labour Leadership

BBC News - Politics: Reports " Shadow Chancellor Chris Leslie has said he would not serve under Jeremy Corbyn if he becomes Labour leader. "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party is in a STATE of civil war, the surprising surge of Jeremy Corbyn has taken the New Labour element of Labour by shock, the Labour Establishment thought a centre left candidate would win as in the shape of Andy Burnham, but the Burnham campaign has never really got off the ground, also Mr Burnham is a Northern Ed Miliband, he was the darling of the left before Corbyn came along his argument for a far left Labour Party.   This blog thinks it will be a close race, but Labour will go for the safe choice of Burnham, better a candidate who might be a future PM than a candidate who would return Labour back to the days of Michael Foot. 

Is New Labour a political virus - Labour Leadership Contest

BBC News: Reports that the CWU is supporting Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Union stated the following on New Labour " The union's general secretary Dave Ward said Mr Corbyn was the "antidote" to the "virus within the Labour Party". "

Lets Get Real:

Thus New Labour that got Labour elected three times in a general election is now seen as a virus by a trade union, in the past the left was seen as a threat to the stability of the Labour Party.   Those that want abc ( Any but Corbin ) have to find a unity candidate that the centre and the right can support.  If you are a Conservative you want Corbyn to WIN, then it assures that Labour will be in civil war and the 2020 election is in the bag, but if you think a Opposition Party is good then you want a leader that can be seen as a PM in the future.  It is time for Labour to grow up and fast.  

Corbyn ALL the WAY - Labour Leadership

The Daily Mail: Reports on private poll seen by the Daily Mirror, the article notes the following, " Mr Corbyn 42%, Yvette Cooper 22.6%, Mr Burnham 20% & Liz Kendall 14%...It indicates that, once second preferences are taken into account, the socialist will garner 51 per cent with Miss Cooper on 49 per cent.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the best news this blogger has heard all day, the thought of Jeremy Corbyn makes this Conservative blogger smile.   The Labour Party would be OUT of power for generations if it does down this road.   Lets help them, all Conservatives should join the Labour Party and VOTE CORBYN, we could cancel the 2020 election and just take a 100 seats from the Labour Party.  It is a good time to be a Conservative. 

Split in Labour - Labour Civil War

Guardian: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn win could cause SDP-style Labour split, says donor..John Mills, one of party’s biggest benefactors, says wealthy supporters could withdraw backing if leftwinger wins leadership election "

Lets Get Real:

One suspects that the Labour Party does not have a death wish, thus the poll that gave the election to Jeremy Corbyn should shock Labour voters to find a new candidate, they should should chose Liz Kendall, she is from the Blair wing of the Party, she understands that you do not win UK elections from the left.   Of course Labour might have a death wish, then Corbyn wins and you have a major split within the Party, you could see the right of the Party form an alliance with the Liberal Democrats to form a centre left Party.    The fun of the Labour civil war.
