The long term future for the Labour Party amid Divisions - 2024 General Election

Sky News: Reports " Labour accused of trying to 'destroy' its left-wing elements by Corbyn-backing Momentum....Supporters of Jeremy Corbyn have accused Labour's general secretary of waging a political war against the left of the party.  "

Lets Get Real:

The present Labour Leader, Sir Keir Starmer has a choice to make, does he want to be the new Ed Miliband or the new Tony Blair, if he wants to be the new Ed Miliband, he just has to carry on as he is, he will spend the next five years on his project and then lose at the 2024 General Election.  If he wants to be new Tony Blair and win three elections starting in 2024 he has to throw Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters out of the Party.   This will cause a battle royal, but it will be worth it for Labour, it will return its soul and be a winning party of Government.   The CHOICE is STARK, and the answer is simple.

The Labour Leadership CONTEST - General Election 2024

BBC News: Reports " Emily Thornberry will join four others in the next round of the contest to become Labour leader...Sir Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long Bailey, Lisa Nandy and Jess Phillips had already qualified for the next stage.  "

Lets Get Real:

The next general election will be in 2024, the Labour Party could decided the result now if it elects the right next leader.   The negatives for Labour would be Sir Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry, they are London MPs and firm Remainer supporters.  While the election of Lisa Nandy or Jess Phillips would give the Labour Party a chance in 2024.  The PROBLEM with Ms Phillips is that she is a Remainer, and has stated that she would support going back in to the EU.   That will not go down well with Northern and Midlands Labour supporters, who voted Conservative first the time, as to get BREXIT DONE.   This blog is not a Labour supporting blog, that is VERY CLEAR, but its once piece of advice for Labour voters is vote for Lisa Nandy, she just might be the ticket to win in 2024.

Soft Brexit CALL - Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " David Miliband joins Nick Clegg and Nicky Morgan in call for soft Brexit..Labour's former shadow foreign secretary steps back into the Westminster spotlight to warn a hard Brexit will cause economic pain.  "

Lets Get Real:

The CALL is right but it comes from LOSERS, to use a Trump phase, one stabbed in the back by his own brother, the other one lost his Seat in the General Election.  WHY should the UK voter support such views when Party members voted against one brother over another, and the other was thrown out of his Seat because Liberal Democrats supported tuition fees.   Two of the three named are no longer in Parliament, so easy to argue this point, while the third might rebel against a three line whip if May goes for a HARD Brexit. 

                                                        

LOSERS GO AWAY!!!

Conservatives have 22 Point Lead - Campaign Trail 31 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " ICM’s weekly poll for the Guardian has topline figures of CON 49%, LAB 27%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 6%, GRN 3%. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus after the local elections in the UK the Conservative Party is back at a 22 point lead, that is good, this blog read a report that the Corbyn Campaign had given up on winning the election as was more interested in keeping its safe seats, it does not want to lose more than Ed Miliband lost in 2015.  The argument from the Corbyn side will be if Corbyn gets the same poll level as Miliband he should not resign.   The left never likes to give up power.   Those at the Centre of the Labour Party and the right might have to form a new political party.  Of course there are a couple of weeks to go, we shall see if the polls are right. 

NO 2ND VOTE ON BREXIT - Post EU Vote

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports in its 1.pm post the following, " Theresa May has said MPs will not be given a vote on Brexit because it would be "unacceptable" to "second guess" the British people.  The Prime Minister's spokesman said it was "absolutely necessary" for MPs to scrutinise the "process" of leaving the EU but that MPs should not be given a vote.  He said: "Parliament is of course going to debate and scrutinise that process as it goes on. That is absolutely necessary and the right thing to do. "But, having a second vote, or a vote to second-guess the will of the British people is not an acceptable way forward."

Lets Get Real:

The uber liberal elite of London will not accept the the EU vote, they will use any means at their disposal to block or cause problems in the UK leaving the EU.    The PM is right, the people have spoken, they want a HARD Exit from the EU, they want to take control of their country back, the PM should stand firm and send word to local Parties if their MP is stubborn remain supporter they might need a new MP.    The will of the UK voter  has been decided by the Voter, one does not really care what Ed Miliband thinks, the UK voter made their views on him when he lost the 2015 Election.

PM May and her Government - May Era

Lets Get Real:

The more you listen to the speech the more it sounds like something Ed Miliband would say, let us hope its just SPIN, the Conservatives will have to keep an eye on this PM, what would Lady Thatcher say about it, one could only guess.    Let us hope that Brexit means Brexit!!

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. 

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. 

Corbyn on the Falklands - Corbyn Mania

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Britain should do a deal with Argentina on who controls the Falklands, Jeremy Corbyn claims - despite a referendum showing 99.8 per cent of the Islanders want to stay British  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK lost 255 troops in taking back the Falklands, and for an extreme left wing idiot like Jeremy Corbyn to be a  Labour Leader shows that Tony Blair did not change Labour, it was a PR show at the end of the day, its not what a Party does when it winning that can matter, it how it acts if it loses, thus far from Gordon Brown through Ed Miliband to Corby the Party has gone back to its left wing roots. The same political party that was out of power for near 18 years under Thatcher and Major Governments is heading for that period of Opposition again.   Does any Labour MP have the guts to take on Corbyn before its to late. 

Corbyn vs. Labour MPs - Corbyn Mania

Guardian - Politics Live: Reports in its 5.48pm post the following, "  John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, has dismissed the three Labour frontbenchers who resigned today in protest against the shadow cabinet reshuffle as part of a “narrow, rightwing clique”. In a separate interview with Channel 4 News, he said there was a “hard right” faction in the party associated with the group Progress. They were now on the fringes of the Labour party, he said. “They have never accepted Jeremy [Corbyn]’s leadership. They have never accepted the outcome of the leadership election.”  "

Lets Get Real:

If this is the level of talks between fellow Labour MPs the Party has a major problem, as noted by others, Corbyn does not have the power to force MPs to follow his line, while the Opposition is waiting its time, the Opposition should not fall in to the trap of waiting to long, that happened under the leadership of Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, in that process the Labour Party lost two general elections.   As blog has stated the Blair and Brown supporters have to unite to get rid of Corbyn before he destroys the Labour before the 2020 election, time is not on the side of the Corbyn enemies. 

The Labour Party and the Paris Terrorist Attacks

BBC News - Politics: Reports the following in its 6.03pm post, " In the light of events in Paris this week, Labour MP Caroline Flint says the party "has to act with certainty and one voice" when it comes to defence policy.    "It didn't help this week when it seemed when faced with the prospect of a terrorist attack on the streets of London and how the police might respond, we seemed to have one point of view put forward by Jeremy [Corbyn], and another one contradicted by Hilary Benn."

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party on defence and many others is falling apart, it has different voices coming out, the Labour Party needs to remove Jeremy Corby and fast, it can not wait as it did with Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband, if it does wait it will lose the 2020 election before even a vote is cast.   The Labour Party should recall the disaster of 1983, yes it could be that BAD, time for Labour to grow up or shut up shop.  Any Party that elects Jeremy Corbyn is MAD anyway. 

Jeremy Corbyn on Jihadi John- Syrian Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " 'I'm sure he'd have come quietly': Corbyn is mocked by one of his own MPs after saying Jihadi John should have been captured alive to face trial - but Cameron insists killing him was the 'right thing to do' "

Lets Get Real:

This is the leader chosen by Labour voters, a man that can not be trusted to defend the Realm, has stated he would never use our nuclear weapons if the day ever came. One can see terrorists having a free reign if Corbyn was ever in power in 10 Downing Street, his remarks show that he is not fit to be a leader of a UK political Party, it is about time that the Labour MPs grew a back bone and something other things and threw Corbyn out, there is more of them than his supporters.    Or if that fails they should form an their own Party, become the Official Opposition, but that takes a back bone and Labour has not shown that with Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband and now Corbyn. 

The Election that Labour Lost - Corbyn Mania

Telegraph: Reports " Labour seems to have forgotten that it lost the last election..Jeremy Corbyn's team boast about their man winning the leadership election, but when will they stop talking to themselves? "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party is in a World of hurt, it can process the fact that it lost the last election big time, in fact it lost Seats from 2010, and during that time the Miliband team had moved Labour to centre left, the election of Jeremy Corbyn has moved the Labour Party off the cliff and in to haze that it might never return from, the article notes that the election of Corbyn is seen as more important, that shows how out of touch the Labour Party is, the UK voter when given a choice between  a left or right Party, chose the Conservative Party, they want to keep their own money, they want to pass that money to their children or grand children, they want a small State and they want the Unions under firm control.   The Labour Party faces being out of power for a generation, in that time good MP's will see their careers go down in flames and become ashes, they should recall those young Labour MPs's in 1979 who thought they would be back in power in a few years, they had to wait seventeen and a half years.   Thus one can expect those with ambition to move to other Parties, why become trench fodder for a Leader you do not support or even like, the Liberal Democrats or even Conservatives might get some defections. 

The LEFT Wing POLICY of " Jeremy Corbyn " - Foreign Policy

BBC News: Reports on the foreing policy of Jeremy Corbyn,  " On Russia, the Labour leader argues the eastward expansion of Nato is also to blame for the Ukraine crisis, as well as Russia's violation of Ukrainians' sovereignty by taking over Crimea. Argentina has welcomed his suggestion that the UK should think of sharing sovereignty of the Falklands. And at odds with previous Labour leaders, he supports the idea of a united Ireland, a stand described by Unionists as "unhelpful". "

Lets Get Real:

The divisons with Labour over Foreign Policy could force the Blair forces to move against " Red " Jeremy Corbyn early than expected, those on the right of the Party, support NATO, are willing to strike Syria, and are opposed to Russian moves in Eastern Ukraine.   Then there is the issue of the EU, it can be argued that Corby is hardly pro EU, that is his only good point.   If Corbyn through the Labour Party Conference moves the Labour Party to the left it would mean that the right of Labour would have to make a choice, do they wait as they waited to get rid of Gordon Brown and Ed Millband and thus lost two general elections or do they before the electionns next year, the Blair group if they want to give the Labour Party a chance in 2020 need to move early and with a ruthlness that you expect from the Conservatives. 

Labour Party OUT of power for 2 Elections - Corbyn Mania

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Red and buried: Labour rocked as shock poll says party will lose next TWO elections, seven key figures quit and MPs plot to oust Corbyn after Left-winger's sensational victory "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party will have to wait in till David Miliband, yes the brother of Ed, comes back from NY to become an MP again and then he can run for the Labour Leadership. The Conservative Party should hit Corbyn on the issues every day, he anti NATO, does not want to fight terrorists, calls some terrorists his friends, wants out of EU, his only good point.   Does not think the UK should have a nuclear defence, even wants to give Argentina some rights in the Falklands.   This is the man that Labour has chosen, they have gone off their rocker, should we allow them to have the vote in a general election. 

A Profile of Jeremy Corbyn - New Labour Leader

BBC News:  Reports on the Corbyn Agenda. 

Lets Get Real:

The new Leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn is a left wing loon, every fringe issue you can think off he is on the left.   The press should slice and dice him every day, the Corbyn AGENDA is a threat to the realm, in both defence and economic spheres.   Those on the right of the Labour Party should plan for a coup in the new year, if Corbyn is still leader next the Labour Party could be destroyed in the Welsh, Scottish, and local council elections.    The BBC News yesterday was kissing the Corbyn backside, while Sky was more critical, the BBC should be careful it is not seen a sa outlet for the Corbyn Agenda, that would give the Conservative Governmene enough reason to sell it off to Rupert Murdoch. 

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.
