Corbyn – the Right takes fright
August 25th, 2015
UPDATE: 26th Serwotka banned – the PLP have really lost the plot. | Steve Bell nails it.
This comment from the Guardian, posted under Polly Toynbee’s latest epistle is worth reading, Especially the last paragraph. I’m reproducing it here in full along with the link.
[Polly Toynbee] – He made front-page FT news yesterday with his assault on “ludicrous” corporate pay, attacking Rupert Murdoch’s empire and telling bankers to wake up to Britain’s “gross inequalities”. Who disagrees with all of that? But if being right was all it took to win elections, the Tories wouldn’t be in power.
So you’re advocating being wrong?
It’s got to be Corbyn – Scotland speaks
August 19th, 2015
So Andrew Brewer was right. When he said in a letter to the London Evening Standard that:-
They voted for the SNP because there is no Left-wing party currently in Westminster politics.
He was telling the truth.
Jeremy Corbyn appears to be the only person in politics at the moment capable of winning back some or all of the 40 seats Labour lost in Scotland to the SNP.
Jeremy Corbyn – one step at a time
August 18th, 2015
The mainstream media or MSM as they’re now known and the various New Labour grandees who have been wheeled out to tell the rest of us what morons we are (McTernan), or how we need a heart transplant (Blair), or how Labour needs a credible, radical leader (Brown), all appear to be labouring under the delusion that electing a Leader of the Opposition is equivalent to electing a future Prime Minister.
If Jeremy Corbyn wins – what to do – Owen Jones

If Jeremy Corbyn wins . . .
Firstly, the mother of all voter registration drives has to be unleashed. The poorer you are in modern Britain, the less likely you are to vote.Labour received its second highest share of the vote from 18-24 year-olds since 1974, but less than half of them voted. Barack Obama triumphed because of a strategy of ‘expanding the electorate’.
Right to buy – Independent

To describe social housing as subsidised – as critics of councils and housing associations often do – is a fallacy. The one-off development cost of building a social home is supported by government, but the rental value of that home repays the investment. Money spent on social housing quickly becomes a public asset.
Following the revelation that getting on for 40% of former council homes are now let out for private rent there have been a flurry of articles in the media, all of which I’ve read looking for nuggets of truth, but in my view this is the best one and I’ve picked out a few paragraphs of interest. I am so glad they included the paragraph on subsidy about which I have written elsewhere.

Trident
Joanna Spiers, from the East End of Glasgow, who found herself sharing a train carriage with Corbyn on Friday, says: “I felt like someone was speaking to me about the Labour of my youth, my upbringing. I haven’t been able to feel trust like that since John Smith was alive. And, whisper it, but I don’t even think his ideas are that radical!”
