Comments 0 Comment

Corbynistas are now fighting the man who triggered the 2006 move against Blair Perhaps the biggest development within Labour’s antisemitism row over the weekend has been the assertion by the deputy leader, Tom Watson, that he does not follow the Corbyn line.

Corbyn is going full Trump: "… a "build it in Britain" speech, in which Mr Corbyn will also attack the use of "cheap labour from abroad" and demand government contracts are kept in Britain instead of being given to "companies outside the UK".https://t.co/Jee3gZ2n3R — David Hirsh (@DavidHirsh) July 24, 2018

“We would force a general election” if there was a bad deal or no deal for the UK, says @jeremycorbyn #bbcsp pic.twitter.com/03Qqqodm64 — BBC Daily Politics and Sunday Politics (@daily_politics) July 1, 2018 During the weekend the Labour leader was talking about forcing an early election over Brexit.
