Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Tony Parsons piece today makes grim reading for Labour:
Quote:
Even the long shots to become next Labour leader — Owen Smith, Hilary Benn, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Chuka Umunna — are all so pro-EU they make Jeremy Corbyn look like Nigel Farage.
Corbyn was a half-hearted campaigner for Remain.
Whoever replaces him will be a true mouth-foaming Brussels believer.
But how does electing a leader who is more anti-Brexit than Corbyn solve Labour’s existential dilemma?
It doesn’t.
Ditching Corbyn can only make it worse.
Dumping Red Jezza will only hasten Labour’s helter-skelter rush to oblivion.
Corbyn is routinely slagged off for presenting a hopelessly dithering stance on Brexit.
But the Labour movement itself is terminally split on the subject.
Even now, out-of-touch Labour MPs like Tulip Siddiq (Kilburn and Hampstead) parrot the lie that anyone who voted to leave the EU is a thick bigot who despises foreigners.
