Jeremy Corben is more like a real Labour leader of old

The pressure on Mr Corbyn was led by his shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn and Pat McFadden, the party’s Blairite Europe spokesman, who has kept his job after insisting on a pro-Europe stance from Mr Corbyn.

That is why we will maintain and build relations with Corbyn’s Labour Party and work to promote a genuine electoral choice for the Jewish community.

Writing in the Financial Times (FT), the new Labour leader – who had been criticised for appearing to leave the door open for backing withdrawal – said: “Labour is clear that we should remain in the EU”.

BISHOPS on the Left in the Church of England have welcomed the appointment of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party. As many within that tradition sympathise with anti-Zionist movements, he crossed paths with Holocaust deniers and those who sympathise with terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Under the fated leadership of Ed Miliband, unconditional support for staying in the European Union had been a central plank of Labour’s attempt to distract business, which largely supports staying in the single market, from policies like energy price controls.

A Jewish lawmaker in Britain said she joined new Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet after having a “full and frank discussion” with him. It raises the prospect of hyperinflation, because unlike the quantitative easing we have seen in recent years, it would be near-impossible to reverse: the government would have an incentive to “print itself to re-election”, triggering a loss of confidence in the currency. Labour members and members of the public should be concerned that the new leader of Her Majesty’s loyal opposition is violently opposed to the only bastion of democracy in a region comprised nearly exclusively of countries who suppress human rights with remarkable zeal.

Corbyn has long been critical of the European Union and had been unclear on his position in the past.

Speaking to Caerphilly Observer he said: “We must accept the clear decision of the Labour Party and its supporters and we must all rally around the party”.

Mr Reed said pressuring the Government over its £4m cuts to Croydon’s funding for caring for asylum-seeking children would be among his priorities as shadow minister for local government.

But he accepted he would have to “live with it” if his opposition to the cap was rejected by the party because “I am a democrat”. This, say the Corbynites, also has the merit of denying Mr Cameron a blank cheque of Labour support no matter what concessions he wins in Brussels. But this year, leading a party that’s only the joint fourth-largest in the Commons, he may need to do more to get noticed beyond the walls of the conference center.

Ms Sturgeon interjected: “I said once!”

She said: “I would just ask people to wait and see”.
