They are not going to give up this power easily

[Soph0571]

Listened to JC’s new year’s message and it is very clear that if the inner circle gets their way, they are going to do the exact opposite of what they need to do to be electable in 5 years’ time. How the hell can you do a speech and not even mention the utter failure at the election? This speech was to the membership only. At this point they do not give a flying fart what the rest of us think. The far left was flung out of the Labour party in the 1980’s and it took them over 30 years to get back. They have only been leading the sunny uplands of the Leaders office for 4 years and they are not going to give up this power easily.

For the next five years we know that Boris can do what he wants. We need the Labour party to coalesce behind a competent leader and shadow cabinet that have the skills to hold this far right government to account. This means the party needs to elect a leader that can land blows on Boris across the dispatch box, every single week. And a shadow cabinet that can do the same.

Instead by appealing to the membership with the false narrative that they won the argument, and it is all the medias fault, a continuity candidate of the Corbyn project will undoubtedly get the top job and ergo Labour will either be beyond any hope of resurrection, or at the very least be out of power for a generation.

And this will be the biggest betrayal of all for our most venerable communities.
