Re: Jeremy Corbyn leadership
One of Tony Blair's last big allies in Parliament will back Jeremy Corbyn if he wins
Mr Blair's ex-flatmate Lord Falconer hinted he'd be willing to rejoin the shadow cabinet even if Mr Corbyn wins the leadership election

Re: Jeremy Corbyn leadership
As women who both support Jeremy Corbyn, and who have at some point in our lives been victims of violence, harassment, misogyny and abuse, we call upon Labour MPs who oppose Jeremy Corbyn, to cease their generalised smearing of Corbyn supporters as abusive misogynists, with the sole aim of smearing Jeremy Corbyn as someone who somehow attracts them.
Jeremy Corbyn is a man who abhors violence and misogyny. As women who have been victims of both, we could not support him otherwise.

HERE I stand, Tom Watson. One of the “old hands twisting young arms” you say, one of the people you branded quite openly a “Trotsky entryist.”
One of the “rabble,” one of the so-called “thugs” that you see as part of the Momentum movement who support Jeremy Corbyn.
I am both a member of Momentum and a Labour Party member.
Tom Watson’s article in the Guardian not only shocked me but caused me deep personal hurt.
I was one of the thousands last year campaigning for a Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson “dream ticket.”

Oh the irony! "In 2012 the GMB openly accused Progress of being a “party within a party”. It unsuccessfully submitted a resolution to Labour’s annual conference in September that year to try to “outlaw” the group.The Labour Party said it would consider the GMB motion but stressed that it was “not in the business of excluding people”. A cruel irony considering what it is now doing to supporters of Jeremy Corbyn. “We are a party that is reaching out to people, gaining new supporters and offering real change for the country in these tough times. The Labour Party is a broad church and we are not in the business of excluding people,” said a party spokesman at the time.
