Corbyn will hold leadership with increased mandate

The Labour leader also took aim at companies that encourage “early evening socialisation”, telling his supporters at a policy launch in London that such socialising effectively discriminates against mothers.

Jeremy Corbyn is likely to be re-elected Labour leader by an even larger margin than a year ago, according to a new poll that reveals the depth of divisions in the party. Support for the remaining Labour party was found to be at 20%.

Former leadership contender Angela Eagle has said Mr Corbyn failed to intervene as she suffered abuse and was called “Angie the Dyke” after she challenged him for the top job.

Smith, 46, is a Welsh MP who has said he will fight to keep Britain in the European Union through a second referendum.

“First Scottish Labour’s deputy leader said he would not oppose a second referendum, then the Scottish leader slapped him down, only now for Owen Smith to back him up”, said Lamont. “I’m very clear that I want Scotland to stay in the United Kingdom”.

As illustrated below, YouGov found that a massive 40% of members who plan to vote Corbyn do not believe he is competent, and almost half (44%) do not think he is likely to lead Labour to victory at the 2020 general election.

He said: “I think we have got to be honest. there is clearly a rising tide of hate speak and hate crime of all sorts and homophobia and biphobia and transphobia are all featured in there, and it is clear there are rising incidents”.

“Labour is in a mess and its lack of leadership on this most vital of issues is letting down thousands of people across Scotland who back our place in the United Kingdom and want political parties to stand up for that”.

Furthermore, Mr Corbyn said slow broadband is a “source of social and economic exclusion” and a “barrier to learning”.

Tough new laws are needed to protect people’s online privacy, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has insisted.

Mr Bryant said the MPs – from various political parties – had been sent the same email threat with a photo of a beheaded person and a message saying they and their families would be killed.

He said Labour would “be able to make good on our promises” if they were in power but fears that Mr Corbyn would leave them in “perpetual opposition”.
