Corbyn: United we stand, divided we fall.

The right-wing of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) are currently conducting an exercise in blackmail and sabotage against Corbyn. From triggering a vote of no-confidence in the Party Leadership, to mass resignations expected throughout the next few days, the PLP is currently incredibly polarised, and, as a result, public confidence in the Labour Party is dwindling. The right-wing section of the PLP are the substantial reason why Corbyn can't do his job right - they're basically saying "we will continue to wreck the labour movement and betray the people we exist to serve until you elect a leader more acceptable to us".

I do think that a Corbyn-led party can win. I do think that Corbyn is the best person to lead the Labour Party.

EU Referendum Results: My Thoughts

In case it's not clear enough, I voted to REMAIN in the EU. So naturally I am *incredibly* upset at the outcome. I feel hopeless, desperate, speechless (but not so much as to prevent this post), and disappointed. And I have EVERY RIGHT to be upset. The personal is the political. Just like the poll tax was the pressing issue for my mother and people in her generation, the EU referendum is the pressing issue of my generation. Look at the data: (generally) those who voted remain have to live with the consequences for longer than the ones who voted leave. And this is so sad.

Welcome back State-Centrism - you were not missed at all.
