Notes from the front – of 13/7/2016
Labour right aren’t defeated yet. All out for Corbyn!
The coup plotters in the Labour Party have suffered a significant set-back with the decision of Labour’s NEC not to prevent Jeremy Corbyn from being on a leadership ballot. Thwarting this blatant denial of democracy, by 18 to 14 votes, is an important victory for the leader, the entire Corbyn movement and Labour’s membership.

The right wing’s war on the Labour leadership
Following the victory of the Brexit side in its EU referendum Britain has entered its biggest political crisis since 1945. The Tories on both sides of the EU argument do not have a clear proposal on how to proceed. The leadership team of the official Brexit campaign, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, has already imploded and internal fighting between pro- and anti-EU Tories can be expected to intensify.

On Thursday 23 June the electorate in Britain voted narrowly – by fewer than 1.3m votes, that is less than 2 per cent of the population – for a lie. They voted for the lie that if Britain came out of the EU it could maintain all the benefits of EU membership – free trade in Europe, the leading role of London, all the protections that came with EU legislation for human rights, the environment, for working conditions etc – without the downsides. These downsides were presented as ‘uncontrolled immigration’, loss of ‘sovereignty’ and a subsidy to the EU that could otherwise be spent on the NHS.
