Assuming Corbyn wins how is he going to form a Shadow Cabinet? Surely anyone with aspiration, such as current competitors would try and keep a distance?- Dan Hodges LINK It looks like a few years of internecine warfare in the Labour Camp is on the agenda, with targets for deselection doing the rounds. We will see exactly what I have been saying for years and that is that Labour still has a rump of wannabe Commies in their ranks. They were not purged by the Welsh-windbag, they just hid in closets. |

You are absolutely right Labour has a rump of Commies. Kind of like the rump of swivel eyed loons in the Conservative party. The rest of your points are fairly valid too though |

Not looked, but they do and have shown their true colours from time to time. Once upon a time Communists were proud of their beliefs and paraded them for all to see and hear. These days they are more like a moles or the enemy within working in the shadows and seeking to disguise their true intentions. Even Corbyn has be told be his acolytes to disguise his true intentions wrt to NATO and the Peoples QE. Get power first then spring it upon them. |

Dan Hodges, David Cameron's favourite journalist, that is a bit of a clue, (that is a bit of a puzzle though, I didn't think Cameron liked swivel eyed loons.) |

I find it ludicrous that that the Tories STILL revert to Labour being clset Communists in this day and age. Along with all the other sound bites, used for political purposes, used to persuade the public of imaginary dangers (Trade Unions are victims of this too), and for no other reason than political advantage. The only real justification the Tories have for telling these falsities is ....... it works. |

Is said Hodges not a life long member of the Labour Party? Was his mother not a Labour MP? I suspect that Cameron likes him as he does not pull punches for the sake of the Party Line. |

RJD you are fixated on Communists. There are not enough communists to fill the back room of a pub in Britain and no Labour MP comes even close to being one, not even the Beast of Bolsover. |

Of course there are Communists and there are communists, it is all a matter of definition. I do not see Communists in the guise of a Joe Stalin, but I see many left wingers who would seriously like to see Clause 4 back on the Labour Party Manifesto. Now call them Socialists, call them Communists, call them whatever you like, I know exactly what their objectives are and want no part of them. The definitions these days are confused on purpose to disguise the actuality, So you call them what you will, I call them wannabe Commies. |

Evidence please, (and don't say Corbyn because what he actually said and the reporting of it are two very different things.) It also may have escaped your attention but renationalising rail has majority public support. |

Swivelled eyed loons are individuals, with differing agenda. Communists are a political movement in their own rights. Not the same thing at all. Of course your interpretation of swivveld eyed loony's is open to individual interpretation, whilst there is no doubt what a group of communists stand for. |

Its what lying sleazeballs do after all |

I regret I do not know about the former MP for Pontypridd, John. I wonder if he was a spy who came in from the cold. As for politicians being opportunists, there are those who will say and do anything to keep their jobs. They change loyalties like a carnelian. |

Of course RJD attacks Socialist ideals. They oppose the ideals of the plutocrats and oligarchs he fawns over. His continual references to Stalin (and now even Hitler) as examples of 'Socialists' in power is the policy of fear mongering - a very effective technique. Corbyn supports Unions. He has suggested state control of industries that produce fundamental resources and services would be of benefit to the masses. RJD argues the state is incompetent at managing such based upon previous history (while ignoring the much longer history of abuse of the massess for the benefit of the few). The truth is these policies would remove a vast source of wealth plundered by the few and must be derided at all costs. But most worrying of all is he claims to have originated from a working class background and while a majority of that demographic share his ideals (I believe because of the brainwashing that individualism is the best way) then England will never change. Preaching Socialist ideals to selfish individuals is a waste of time and effort. Their mindsets need to be addressed first and that can only be done via a sound education - which is a preserve of the priviledged few. So in conclusion - we're fooked.

I disagree. Many NL stalwarts (I actually think some may be Tory plants!) are far too invested in their Tory light beliefs to accept Corbyn's left wing ideals (Burnham excepted - he'll say anything to gain power). I expect there to be a split and I think it's for the best. Better to lance a boil and suffer the short and sharp pain than to let it continue to fester. |

Tony Blair was clever and capable enough to destroy the Labour Party, replacing it with New Labour, a conservative party. They were in power as a result for over a decade. Except for Jeremy Corbyn, who never became New Labour, the other three candidates for leadership of the party cannot get the message that the Tories are better conservatives than New Labour which was an aberration. New Labour lost the Scottish vote and the old socialist ideology was embraced there by the Scottish National Party who well understand that most of the English voters are conservative now. Should Jeremy Corbyn resurrect the Labour legacy, they will be unelectable but they will stand for something once again and build a new base among the young and English people of principle.

He was a paid officer if the communist party and the man responsible ... in the sense of organising the picketing activities of ... two men who killed a taxi driver taking a non union miner to work by dropping a concrete block onto his cab. When police came to interview him they found him frantically shredding documents regarding his coordination of the strikers. He joined the labour party and enjoyed his path to privy counselorship. Not bad for a disciple of Marx .. |

Especially dire even for you, where the hell did you get the idea that there are "communists" in the Labour party? I've just been flicking through the latest edition of Private Eye and there is a section YOU should take some time out to read, Corbyn's words in various speeches have been deliberately and dishonestly misquoted by our totally shite right wing press, many of his comments have been taken completely out of context and with frankly blatant lies replacing his own words, the word libel comes to mind to when reading some of this horseshit that you and thousands of others lap us like obedient little lapdogs...... |

The problem with a concept like "the nation's prosperity" is that it ends up in the pockets of bankers, financiers, and chief executive officers, instead of the country's services, schools, and hospitals. |

Really? You think that the amounts gained by such people totally outweigh that received by the rest of the working population together? The "nation's prosperity" does not mean that all individuals who make up the nation have a God given right to an equal share. That's Marxist bull. |
