As a clear demonstration that the established base of the Parliamentary Labour Party are more interested in their ‘political’ careers, rather than either democracy, or the fundamental ethos of the Labour Party, they are missing a clear opportunity to score real and substantial hits on the Tories.
As the latest in a long line of indicators that the gap between what they promised and what has actually come to pass, Grantham & District Hospital may lose its A&E at weekends. Now, I am sure that central government will scuttle madly to find numerous targets to pass the buck to, but the bottom line is that the NHS, along everything else in the country, is not safe in their hands.
You can take your pick of the endless promises and targets given ans set over the last parliament and a half, and can count on the fingers of one foot those that have been met. Whether you agree with the targets have been met or not, that is not an indication of a successful government. And those that suffered before still suffer, and have been joined by ever more.
And what is the PLP doing? Going to court.
Just because Jeremy Corbyn isn’t the ‘standard’ party leader doesn’t mean he can’t lead the party, and the country. Just because he wont espouse the ‘tory-lite’ policies that a good number of you supported for years, doesn’t mean he isn’t representing the core principles and values of the Labour Party, because that is exactly what he is doing.
If you feel his public persona is not as charismatic as the previous Labour Party Prime Minister, is that such a bad thing? Look where that vain-glorious ego took us.
This is a different politician, and hopefully a different type of politics. Instead of behaving like Tories, stop the foot stamping and ‘I want my ball back’ antics, and work with the man who was elected with a huge mandate to lead a party whose membership is still growing – thanks to him.
And if a few ‘Trots’ sneak in, so what. If you want a broad church, then have one, and stop moving the pews when it doesn’t suit your sensibilities. Let’s try to behave like mature, respectful and responsible people, represent the people in the UK that need your help, and stop providing smoke screens for the Tories to hide their failures behind.
