TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 1 hour ago, oldypigeonpopper said: hello, anyone look at bbc red button, take a look on what Jeremy Corbyns wife has just stated, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeremy Corbyn's wife has accused the media of having "vilified" the Labour leader and said he was "attacked by his own party" during his time in charge. In a rare public intervention, Laura Alvarez also told The Mirror the NHS would have been better prepared for coronavirus if Mr Corbyn had been PM. Mr Corbyn is standing down after nearly five years as Labour leader, with his successor being unveiled on Saturday. He told supporters it had been the "honour of my life" to lead the party. In an e-mail to members and activists, he said he was sorry he had failed to return the party to power but suggested Labour, under his leadership, had "changed the agenda on austerity and how the economy is run". Labour leadership ballot closes Ms Alvarez, a Mexican human rights lawyer who has been married to Mr Corbyn for seven years, has largely steered clear of making public comments since he was elected Labour leader in 2015. 'Brutal irony' But in her Mirror article, she said: "It has been incredibly hard for me to watch my husband vilified and to hear his words twisted by his political opponents and some in the media. "It has been even harder to watch him be attacked by his own party. "The brutal irony is that if we had pulled together, we would have been ready to lead the country rather than suffer more austerity under the Tories." Ms Alvarez said she was "proud" of her spouse and urged his successor "not to lose sight" of the left-wing policies promoted by him. And she argued that the NHS would have been better prepared for the coronavirus pandemic if Mr Corbyn had been prime minister. 'Change in direction' Mr Corbyn's successor will be announced on Saturday, along with a new deputy leader. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he expected the new leader to be Sir Keir Starmer. Mr McDonnell, who is also standing down, backed Sir Keir's rival Rebecca Long-Bailey for the leadership. But he told Sky News he hoped Sir Keir would appoint Ms Long-Bailey and fellow leadership contender Lisa Nandy to his team, and said Labour was now an "incredibly united party". In his farewell message to the party, Mr Corbyn said he believed his successor could win power but only if they continued the fight for "social justice, equality and care for the environment". Addressing his own future, he added: "I can assure you my voice will not be stilled. I'll be out there campaigning for socialism, peace and justice, and I feel sure we'll be doing that together." Virus spending shows I was right - Corbyn A special conference planed to announce the results has been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Instead, the three candidates have been asked to record victory speech videos ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 She might be a loyal wife, but she appears to be just as out of touch with reality as her husband. Labour might well gain more support, merely by ridding the the Shadow Cabinet of the lunatic fringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 It looks like Labour, to win back the (former?) industrial seats in the north will choose ........... a multi millionaire lawyer, barrrister and QC, knighted and born, based and firmly resident in London.

Centrepin Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Maybe they should lead by committee, should they be able to decide on that. Not a one of em instils confidence in anything but no confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 The old proper Labour Party was an honourable set up, then dodgy Tone turned up and created New Labour, all downhill from there really. Little or no credibility, very poorly lead, no real understanding of anything above Council Politics, a poor shadow of its former self when it was the party of the WORKING MAN. Quite honestly I struggle to comprehend why its supporters vote for them, the are leagues apart in beliefs, actions and conscience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Starmer (if he wins) will at least be leader who has; Worked (as a lawyer/barrister) for his living (becoming head of his chambers). Not clear if he still does 'consultancy', but he was (before being shadow Brexit secretary) a consultant to the practice who represented Gina Miller (Mishcon de Reya) a good academic record (so must have some intelligence) - first class degree in Law from Leeds and second degree in Civil Law from Oxford) the usual Labour background of 'partially' private education (independent fee paying grammar school) Edited April 4, 2020 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
