The attack on democracy in the Labour party goes on and on.
For my post above in which I reported a happy meeting of the Brighton DLP AGM, the follow up is that the entire party has been suspended by the NEC and the result of the election of an all pro-Corbyn executive has been overturned, despite the vote being 62% in favour of the new candidates.

The reason? False claims of 'spitting', and threats of violence. Even if these claims were true, what kind of a pretext is it to completely overturn an election on the grounds that unknown persons are misbehaving when hundreds of happy kindly people made the effort to support the party.

There is more. On dubious claims of brick throwing, every single branch membership of Labour the length and breadth of the country is now banned from holding meetings and prevented from holding leadership hustings. Why? Because several branch meetings have held votes of confidence in Jeremy Corbyn and Angela Eagle's own constituency has given her a vote of no confidence.

What about this brick? Eagle claimed that a brick had been thrown through her constituency window and had immediately claims Corbyn supporters. It turns out that Eagle's office is on the ground floor of a shared building; (Sherlock House, opposite a busy pub); with seven other offices of various sorts, and that the brick was placed in the window on the stairwell, well away from Eagle's office which was clearly identifiable due to its big Labour poster in the window.
Where is the press coverage for these outrages?

It seems the media is willing to listen to her anti-COrbyn ravings but slow to pick up ion the attack on democracy and the lies from which it is generated.

There are good and bad points to EU membership. But I have to say that despite its failings on the day after the vote I felt somewhat claustrophobic and regret the loss of opportunity that Brexit will mean for the younger generation.

We've allowed the bureaucrats of the EU to enjoy large expense accounts, waste time and effort and spend on idiotic projects, so athough I'd have rather have stayed in, we have only ourselves to blame for the vote. Generation after generation have stood by whilst the EU has been colonised by the elites and the corrupt.

There is so much bunkum in the media about the decline of Labour. Labour has never been stronger. Party membership is at an all time high. The media want you to think that there is a fault-line between the leadership and the Parliamentary Labour Party; this is not the case the fault-line is between the PLP and the membership who massively support the values of the leadership.

I'm just returned from the Brighton Labour Party AGM. And I am pleased to report that Brighton City college's hall was far too small to pack in the massive turnout, so the elections for the local party officers had to be done in three separate sittings. Momentum was well organised and their recommended candidates were warmly greeted as were the old school officers who were hoping for reelection. I have to say that each mention of Jeremy Corbyn was most warmly received. So to each of you whose support might be wavering, please take heart that their are many of us in the Labour party who want JC's values to succeed. I get back to you all when I know the results, but I have no doubt that for Brighton Labour the momentum supported candidates have just won a landslide over the old guard.

JC has doubled the membership and new members join the party every day to protect the core values against the Blairites. The facts of history show that Blair's leadership was toxic, and it's time to remove the MPs for a new set because there are thousands of talented individuals in the party waiting to take their place.
