Making waves for Corbyn

THE right-wing media are having orgasms over the anti-democratic decision of Sir Keir Starmer and the NEC to prevent the members of Islington North from reselecting Jeremy Corbyn as their candidate for the fourth decade running. 

According to Starmer’s motion voted on by the NEC, Corbyn puts a Labour victory in jeopardy because he single-handedly lost the 2019 general election. 

The bulldozing of the “red wall” by Boris Johnson with his winning “Get Brexit done” slogan has absolutely nothing to do with the slippery, empty vessel that is the current Labour leader.
