Whilst there is little about which to disagree
in your editorial`s conclusion that Corbyn needs to show, in the coming
leadership contest, that he can "rehabilitate the party as a force" for
government, in some ways it was glaringly incomplete (The party needs a leader
who can help it win power,18/07/16). If, as you allege, "all Labour MPs share
the party members craving for a more equal society", should you not be urging
them, as forcefully as possible, to demonstrate how they aim to achieve it? That
would be "the stuff of normal debate", as opposed to their continued whinging
and plotting.
So would reminding their constituents, and, of
course, Corbyn`s detractors, of their leader`s fantastic political record over
the years, so that a fair and measured view can be adopted. Indeed, perhaps
details of Corbyn `s achievements would have been better placed in the Leader
column, rather than the Letters` page (Letters, 18/07/16)? A prestigious
international "award for lifelong dedication against injustice" seems to me a
far more appropriate qualification for PM, particularly at this time of
obscene inequality, than a career in the profit-obsessed City!
