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!!!

The Left Wing Shadow Cabinet ? - Labour Troubles

BBC News: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn has unveiled what he called a "unifying" new shadow cabinet, naming his left-wing ally John McDonnell as shadow chancellor. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus " Red " Jeremy Corbyn has formed his Cabinet, it shows how out of touch Corbyn is, the real power is held by men, white and old on the whole, women have been given token jobs or jobs that mean they have to follow the Corbyn line, such as Defence.   It is clear that collective agreement on policy is out of the window, Corbyn's Deputy supports NATO and Trident, also the Unions have many workers who work in the defence field, so their reality might not be their PR view of the issue.  When the political arrows come, the leader should not expect anyone to place his or her career on the line to protect Corbyn, it can be argued that Corbyn is being is used a place holder in till David Miliband comes back or others raise to take his place.   The Conservatives should use the divisions in the Labour Party to move to the centre ground, make Labour a laughing stock, the election of JC has helped in this process, one really wonders does JC understand the slicing and dicing he is going to get from the press, he can not hide from the press, he will have to give interviews, one can see him in tough interviews not doing well, that will be fun to watch. 

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. 

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. 

Clinton unsafe with British Security - Email Scandal - Election 2016

Daily Mail: Reports " David Miliband dragged into Hillary Clinton email scandal after it emerges confidential British intelligence was sent to presidential hopeful's private account  "

Lets Get Real:

This story is like Chinese Water torture, drip by drip the Clinton PR on the email scandal is falling apart.   One has to assume, China, Russia, North Korea did try and might have been successful in any attempt to break the security on the secret Clinton server.  One would also has to assume that secrets on the server were read by the enemies of the US.   It can be argued that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has to consider her position.  How can it be right for others to see their careers wrecked and even jail time for lesser offences.   There needs to be a scapegoat from the Clinton Camp, if you're were or are on the Clinton staff you have to be worried that you will be thrown under the bus. 

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. 

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. 

A family Divided - The Miliband Brothers Saga

Telegraph: Reports " Ed Miliband 'not invited' to brother David's 50th birthday party..

Former Labour leader spotted at the cricket during his brother's party after their rival leadership bids caused family tensions "

Lets Get Real:

In politics if you lose there is no forgiveness even from family, the only way that Ed Miliband could have made up with brother was to offer him a Cabinet position if he had won the election in May.   It is said that David Miliband was the best leader Labour never had, this could be true and we might never know for sure, of course Miliband senior could return to the House of Commons later on in the election cycle.   It would be ironic if David Miliband becomes Leader and then Prime Minister, if that happens Ed should not expect a call, something things you have to pay for in politics, stabbing your brother in the back is one of them. 

The Labour Civil War - Posts 2015 Election

BBC News: Reports " John Prescott to David Miliband: Shut up "

Lets Get Real:

Lord Prescott is a elder statesman of the Labour Party, he was Deputy PM during the Blair years, but on this issue he WRONG.   The Labour Party needs more Blair candidates, the problem with using that term is that next you have to deal with the issue of Iraq, its odd that Blair gets the blame for Iraq while Bush 43 has been under the radar and his approval ratings have gone up.   The Labour Party has to accept that Tony Blair won three elections, he knows a thing about getting the trust of the UK voter, something the modern Labour Party has lost.   The next leader of Labour needs to be on the centre right, or even right wing, that is the only way that Labour will win the next general election in 2020. 

The Miliband Brothers AT War - Post 2015 Election

Telegraph: Reports " David Miliband: Ed Miliband victory would have defied laws of political gravity...Former foreign secretary says his worst fears were confirmed when his brother led Labour to a devastating general election defeat  "

Lets Get Real:

This must not be nice reading for Ed Miliband, the only way " Red " Ed could win after beating his brother for the Labour leadership was to become PM, that dream is now over, and Ed could see his brother within a few years getting the Labour Leadership, even PM.   This would show that the old line that those that strike down a leader never get the job themselves to be true, what ever made Ed think he could be a real contender for PM, that what happens when you are in the London left wing bubble.   The press feed your ego that your the one, the one thing that will not happen is that Ed will not get a job in a new David Miliband Administration, might get the job of Governor of Elba!

When you fail in politics you have NO Friends - Post 2015 Election

Daily Mail: Reports " Now Yvette Cooper turns on Miliband: Leadership hopeful savages Ed's anti-business rhetoric "

Lets Get Real:

One minute your Labour leader, everyone follows your line, one lost election and you face attacks from everyone, even those in your Shadow Cabinet.   This blog had no time for Ed Miliband, it liked his brother David Miliband, the former Foreign Secretary. One does have to feel sorry for Red Ed, on Thursday night of May 7th he was writing his speech for after he won the election, then it was 10 o clock and the BBC projection.  It was only out by a bit, by the end the Conservatives had 331 seats and a majority government, and the political knifes came out for Ed Miliband, the Labour Party only kept 232 and lost Seats all around, Scotland being the biggest loss.   There is nothing worse that being a ex leader at so young an age, he will be the what if man of politics, the man who stabbed his brother in the back for nothing!!

The Miliband Brothers at WAR - Post 2015 Election

The Daily Mail: Reports " David Miliband's revenge: Former foreign secretary slams younger brother Ed for 'backwards' Labour campaign which failed to woo the middle classes "

Lets Get Real:

THE Labour Party is in a state of civil war, there are those in THE Blair Camp that see that Labour has to support people that want to get on in life, it can not go back to attacking the rich and expect to win, a] there are never enough rich people to tax, and b] the middle class want to own their own houses and see their family getting ahead. The left wing agenda of Ed Miliband was all about attacking the rich, creating the impression that it was wrong to want to get ahead.    The Labour Party should hire Tony Blair or the Dark Prince himself, Lord Mandelson to set a new road for Labour, the Labour Party needs BLAIR more than Blair needs the Labour Party. 

Miliband vs Miliband - The Brothers fight - Post 2015 Election

BBC News: Reports " Ex-Foreign Secretary David Miliband has criticised his brother Ed's leadership of the Labour Party, saying voters "did not want what was being offered".  "

Lets Get Real:

One has to respect Mr David Miliband for stating for stating that Ed Miliband is his brother and would remain so, but on the other hand he is placing the political knife in more, what he is saying is blunt terms is that the wrong brother got the job of Labour Leader and the right brother would have had the right agenda for Labour to win in the 2015 Election.   The Labour Party has to return to the Blair agenda, people want to get on, they want a safety net for those that fall between the cracks of a modern economy, but that should not be a life style choice for people.   The UK voter wants the Government to be tough on welfare, its harsh but the life is not fair, why should those aged between 18 - 21 get benefits if they have not worked and never plan to work.   The UK economy has come back due to the economy agenda of the Cameron government, lets push harder, this is the time to get the UK back at the top of the economic leadership of the EU and the World economy. 

Ed Miliband was the reason for the DEFEAT - Election 2015

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Labour big beasts savage Miliband: Senior figures line up to blame Red Ed for the party's shattering election defeat  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog does not believe in hitting someone when they are down, Ed Miliband has resigned as Labour Leader, his agenda was NOT the agenda of the UK voter, the Miliband Camp thought that the UK voter had gone left after the financial crash of 2008,  it might have done for a short time but with the economic recovery it went back to its usual position of centre right, and the thought of business bashing, welfare Labour Government was to much for the UK voter, thus the election of a majority Conservative Government for the first time since 1992.   It should have been a warning to this blog and to Labour that when the British people are nice to their political leaders ITS OVER, the voter in 1997 was nice to Sir John Major, a decent man who lost big to Tony Blair.    Thus Labour needs a long debate about its future, it needs to go back to the Blair agenda.
