The action of two backbenchers tabling a motion of
no confidence in Corbyn`s leadership and trying "to pin the blame on him" for
the referendum result, not to mention the even more recent attempted coup
against him by members of his cabinet, is both despicable and misguided (Morning
Star,25/06/16). Presumably they would have been happier with him if he had tried
to out-Ukip the Brexiteers by sacrificing all principles and opposing the free
movement of people from the EU? Perhaps he should have gone on the same platform
as Cameron, forgetting the dreadful consequences of similar action taken by Ed
Miliband during the Scottish referendum? Had the mainstream press given Corbyn
half the coverage they gave to Johnson and Farage, his contribution to the EU
debate would have been appreciated far more.
At a time when the Tory party is imploding,
could there be a worse time for Labour MPs to show their disloyalty? Don`t they
think a Blairite-type Labour party has lost enough general elections
already?
