It is often said that people get the leadership they deserve. If so, it\u2019s hard to imagine just what the membership of the Labour Party have done to deserve this lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the last\nyear or so Labour have sought to hide their differences over Brexit behind\nclaims that what they want is a General Election. Yet now, when the Government\nare floundering hopelessly does he go for the jugular? No!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead\nCraven Corbyn plays socialist debating society games. Instead of leading the\ncharge to get rid of this shambolic tory government, he and Labour\u2019s Shadow\nCabinet table a motion of No Confidence not in the Government but just Theresa\nMay! This is a classic example of why he and they are utterly unfit for office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve just\nheard Labour\u2019s Shadow Housing Secretary, John Healey, say that they tabled this\nmotion because it is not in the interests of the country to lose another month.\nIf that\u2019s what they believe, the motion HAD to be no confidence in the\nGovernment! That motion would have been debated this week. The issue is not\njust about bringing the Withdrawal Agreement to a vote, it\u2019s about getting rid\nof this Government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What this\nshows is simply that the Labour Party knows that it is as splintered as the\ntories on Brexit. They would have a monumental battle trying to put together a\ncoherent manifesto which could unite Kate Hoey and Keir Starmer for example on\na common position so instead they play parlour games to avoid the general\nelection they claim to want. What an utter shambles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Labour\nmotion was not even in their own parliamentary time. Their motion actually\nrequired the Government to make time available to debate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only a full\nOpposition motion of No Confidence in Her Majesty\u2019s Government is guaranteed to\nbe debated and voted on but as usual this apology for an opposition bottled it.\nInstead it\u2019s left to the SNP, Plaid and others to seek to amend the Labour\nmotion to give it teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just imagine\nif this was a Labour Government for a moment. We would have the right wing\npress frothing at the mouth demanding that the government go, their supporters\nwould fill our screens and air waves on political and talk shows hammering out\nthe same constant message. But even now Labour\u2019s supporters like the Record,\nGuardian, Mirror etc have to be muted because there is absolutely no\nleadership, no direction and no belief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a time\nwhen we need a real opposition more than at any time in recent history, we have\nmore of a debating society. It\u2019s time to stop playing at gesture politics, grow\na pair and put down the real No Confidence motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
