JEREMY CORBYN IN SALFORD WILL SAY BATTLE WITH BORIS IS ABOUT TORIES SHIFTING MORE WEALTH TOWARDS THE RICH
 

Star date: 2nd September 2019

BATTLE TO STOP NO DEAL ISN'T A STRUGGLE BETWEEN THOSE WHO WANT TO LEAVE EU AND THOSE WHO DON'T, CORBYN WILL SAY

Today, Labour Party Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is due to make a major speech at a rally in Salford, in which he will say that "The battle to stop No Deal isn't a struggle between those who want to leave the EU and those who want continued membership...It's a battle of the many against the few who are hijacking the referendum result to shift even more power and wealth towards those at the top."

He will also promise a huge shift of wealth and resources towards the North and "change in whose interests the economy works".

"The people will not allow a phoney populist cabal in Downing Street, in hock to the vested interests of the richest, to deny them their democratic voice..." Jeremy Corbyn


Today, Labour Party Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is due at a Salford rally to make a major speech about Brexit, the economy and the affect of Tory Government cuts and austerity.

He will say: "The battle to stop No Deal isn't a struggle between those who want to leave the EU and those who want continued membership. It's a battle of the many against the few who are hijacking the referendum result to shift even more power and wealth towards those at the top."

Corbyn will add that a "No Deal Brexit is really a Trump Deal Brexit...

"Today the shadow cabinet will be meeting to finalise our plans to stop the disaster of No Deal ahead of the return of Parliament tomorrow" he will explain "We are working with other parties to do everything necessary to pull our country back from the brink. Like all progressive change, democracy was won from below it wasn't handed down from above.

"So when a Prime Minister who hasn't won an election and who doesn't have a majority decrees that Parliament will be shut down because he knows his plan for a disastrous No Deal doesn't have the votes, we say that is an attack on democracy which will be resisted" he will add "The people will not allow a phoney populist cabal in Downing Street, in hock to the vested interests of the richest, to deny them their democratic voice.

"A No Deal Brexit is really a Trump Deal Brexit, leading to a one-sided US trade deal that will put us at the mercy of Donald Trump and the big American corporations" he will insist "The pally enthusiasm of the US President for Britain's new Prime Minister only underlines that in Boris Johnson Trump has found a compliant British leader who will dance to his tune..."

Between 2010/11 and 2017/18 Salford City Council has had £93.148millionor 47.38% - of Tory Government core funding cuts, which has led to big deficits in adult and children's social care amongst other things.

"The threat of No Deal is adding to the damage already done to industry by nine years of Tory Government" Corbyn will explain "The Tories will always put first those who lend and speculate over those who make things. Manufacturing workers have lost out on £55 a week under the Tories. That's the Conservative record on manufacturing – fewer people employed and lower wages.

"With the lenders and speculators in charge, wealth, power and opportunity aren't shared across the country, they are concentrated around our capital" he will add "Labour has a serious plan to get our economy working in every town, city, region and nation of our country with a record investment blitz."

He will promise the formation of a £250billion National Transformation Fund in the North, which "will power a massive upgrade to our infrastructure, from transport to energy to broadband". A Labour Government will also set up a National Investment Bank backed up by a network of Regional Development Banks "to provide a further £250billion of capital for emerging businesses and co-operatives".

The Labour Party Leader will conclude..."For decades politicians have told us the economy is beyond democratic control – like a force of nature that can lay waste to entire communities and we just have to grin and bear it. But it's not true. Through voting, through democracy, you can change in whose interests the economy works."

Alternative Truth,I concur with your assessment of Tom Watson! Essentially,Watson is a third rate trade union hack who hasn't cottoned on that the Blair/Brown Era is over! Driven by anger that he isn't leader of the Labour Pary,Watson seeks to embarrass Corbyn at every opportunity! Be in no doubt,Alternative Truth,it is Corbyn,not Viper Watson who is driving Labour's Brexit Policy - a managed Brexit that benefits working people. I hope,Alternative Truth,you support this strategy?

Can I ask the Salford Star, do’s rayofsunshine work at or for the star and is his real name Bernard brough. I ask, it seems that rayofsunshine is being protected by the star and that no one is allowed to challenge him. I’ve sent facts challenging his opinions and the stars seems to avoid publishing these, where as rayofsunshine has free rain to spout his nonsense without others having a reply

Well at least me and Ray agree on something, i.e. the virtues of Dennis Skinner.What Ray doesn't understand, is that most rich people in our country pay balls all in tax, or very little, with all their schemes etc. It is the poor workers that pay,and billions each year goes to keep proffessional bullshiters like lord pillock and his wife in clover with their eec fat wage packets. Is this what Ray thinks we want?

Bob the regular. Dennis Skinner,undoubtedly a national treasure,albeit at times he lapses into self-parody. There is more to being a good Labour MP than being a master of the one liner! Skinner harks back to an era when being anti European was mainly a Left Wing position. Under contemporary conditions,Skinner fails to appreciate that Brexit is being used as a platform to re-launch of Thatcherism. Labour,under the wise leadership of Comrade Corbyn,is neither pro or anti Brexit,rather it is unashamedly pro worker("For the many,not the few!)

Our Ray obviously doesn't like John Mann, but he says he is like our beloved Merry. Does that mean our Ray does not approve of Cllr Merry. Anyway what does Ray have to say about the beast of Bolsover? Nobody, left right centre or whatever the XXXX position in Steptoes party has a bad word to say for him. Come on Ray, lets hear you slag him off.That is one thing you dare not do.Miss Becky would have to slap your arse for you if you did.

Tom Watson quote " there is no such thing as a good Brexit deal and Labour must campaign unequivocally to remain." unquote........ what a gang of crooks.... a once in a generation peoples vote.... the people voted to leave..... get on with implementing the will of the people please.... A second referendum would be a betrayal.... if a second referendum happens... the only two options should be leave without a deal or delay brexit and leave with a deal....... Project Fear is in full swing... our labour politicians will go down in history as cowards who let the voters down... liars who told people that the economy would crash (it hasnt), jobs would be lost and the apocolypse would be one step closer... Shame on you Raymondo SHAME

Bob the regular,John Mann has a long record of opportunism and graft. As a student politician in the 1980's,Mann was a rabid right winger-he comes from a family of anti socialist,Labour Councillors in Leeds. In the early 1990's,whilst working for the trade union,AUEW,Mann misused a corporate credit card to pay for junkets ! As a member of the House of Commons Treasury Committee,Mann supported absolving bankers for any responsibilty for the crash of 2008. Mann is fully signed up to the Thatcherite Settlement. Like John Merry,Mann is more a bureaucrat than a politician. He views debate as a distraction,he presumes that he has a divine right to be in a salaried political position. Fundamentally,Mann is driven by his hatred of the left and this animus explains his reactionary views on Brexit - he sees nationalism as an alternative pole of attraction for workers. In essence Mann has collaborated with the Tories over Brexit,he voted for Theresa May's Exit Aggreement. For services rendered,Mann has been given a peerage-at least Judas settled for 40 pieces of silver!

See Tom Watson has finally come out and said that Labour should call for another referendum backing remain. So what he really means is that he/they don't like what the people have already decided on and that we should go around again because they want a different decision. Unconstitutional and cowardly.

Mr.Brexit,why is it that Brexiteers keep recycling the fake news of the impending creation of an European Army ? Is it because sui generis, Brexiteers are " intellectually challenged " or is it a conscious effort to label/libel the European Union as "Nazi"? Personally,I've reached the conclusion that Brexiteers are re-fighting World War II - resurrect "our finest hour" as an anaesthetic for the perceived decline of Britain! As to the issue of "democracy", can you tell me please,Mr.Brexit,when was the last time that the Çouncil of Ministers prorogued the European Parliament in order to avoid scrutiny?

Alternative Truth,where have you got the idea that Labour opposes Brexit? What Labour opposes is a No Deal Brexìt - a strategy never mentioned by the Leave Campaign during the referendum. Although the British People voted to leave,it delegated to Parliament the task to determine the exact manner by which Britain would leave the E.U.

Alternative truth mentions Labour not fit to govern, well as you may suspect, I agree with him. and it would appear from his recent comments that John Mann MP, one of labours finest members shares the same views. What about John Mann's best pal in Parliament, the man who Ray must acknowledge as labours best MP Denis Skinner. Why has labour kept Skinners trap shut. He is still in Parliament each day ,you can see him there on the telly. The tories have tried to keep him silent for years. Stupid oaf Boris is there, a sitting fat duck for one of Skinners offensive pot shots if I ever saw one. Yet still he remains silent . WHY?

Interestingly enough Raymondo - No where in my conversation with you have I ever alluded to my referendum vote. You might be interested to know that I actually voted remain. The points that I have been trying to raise with you have been about the actions of elected labour party officials not representing the wishes of the electorate - the country was given a once in a generation choice... the choice was made... and its our elected politicians job to enact these wishes... its not rocket science... its democracy ... opposing a course of action just because "you are the opposition" is one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever heard. No wonder the labour party is avoiding an election .... the words "not fit to govern" spring to mind.... and before you start waffling on about Tories, Brexiteers etc.... I didn't/wouldn't vote for them either.

Rayofsunshine, you don’t half talk some shite. Corbyn has got what he has always wanted, an election, but the coward and the libdems and the greens know there going to get wipe out. Rayofsunshine you’re the only communist on here who’s living in la la land. Your continually getting out debated. You talk about dictatorships by the Tories, yet you want to be ruled by the EU, who you can’t vote out of power, at least you get to choose who runs this country in a election, who voted for junker, no one. If we stay in the EU, do you think we’re going to get a vote on our independent army joining the EU army, no were not, but under the Lisbon treaty we’ll have to and to the people out there wanting to stop this country being sovereign, in time your children and grandchildren will be forced to join this army, conscripted in to it and you’ll have no say, by that time, Britain will just be a region in the EU empire with no Parliament of any power, just a talking shop that enacts EU diktats. So you remoaners are just signing away this countries freedoms and democracy to a foreign dictatorship who’s name is the EU. Rayofsunshine if you remoaners love and believe in the EU, then go live there, no one is stopping you, it’s obvious you all hate Britain, so by by, we don’t need defeatists like you, remember your only joining a trading block, the biggest lie in British history, told by money grabbing TRAITORS.

Alternative Truth,you've got your wires crossed,local Labour MPs aren't blocking Brexit ! Instead they're fighting tooth and nail against a Tory No-Deal - I hope you realise that it is the role of Her Majesty's Opposition to "oppose" the government. It is Brexit Nutters,like yourself,Alternative Truth, that are trying to subvert the result of the Referendum;at no time during the campaign did the Leave side mention either a No Deal Brexit or even leaving the Single Market! Throughout the referendum campaign,the Leave side lied and lied again to the British People!

Alternative Truth,you've used the wrong historical analogy - Brexit Britain resembles Weimar Germany,not 1920's Russia! Regardless of how frugal/innovative an individual worker is,the Tories have rigged the system. It is highly significant,that as a Brexiteer you seem unaware of this fundamental fact!

Ray -- "Oppression of the workers" ,,, "plight of the workers"..."fostering working class unity"...."collaboration with Tories".... hilarious.... do you live in the real world ?? Most people just want to get on with their lives, earn some money, get a better roof over their heads and create a better future for their children. Hard work, self improvement, continuous lifelong learning, and the ability to save money for a rainy day rather than spending everything you've got is the key... doesnt make a jot of difference which party is in power... However...the majority of local voters want to leave the European Union and their elected representatives here in Salford are trying to prevent this from happening.... The Labour Party no longer represent the people who voted for it,, the working class have been betrayed by their own representatives... it reminds me of 1920s Russia

Alternative Truth,why should workers be complicit with their own oppression? What is truly sickening,is the crocodile tears coming from Brexiteers about the "plight of the workers!" - this from people who never in their futile lives did anything to foster working class unity and if you look at the policy of the Brexit Party,are prepared to collaborate with the Tories! Alternative Truth,hang your head in shame!

Isn't the real existential threat to the working class - the current labour party? Their support of the European Union and the freedom of movement that it entails undermines the living standards of their own voters.. Unlimited unskilled immigration floods the labour market and keeps both wages and standards of living down. Turkeys don't vote for christmas, and workers are stopping voting labour. Such a shame to see Labour being a prime proponent of project fear. Such a shame to see Labour MPs not fulfilling the wishes of labour voters. Such as shame to see labour members on here blindly spouting the party line without considering the wishes of their core support.

Jeremy Corbyn,as usual,is bang on the money;Brexit represents an existential threat to the Working Class ! Ostensibly about "restoring national sovereignty",the true subtext of Brexit is about imposing Thatcherism 2.0 on Britain. Under this new sweat shop regime,worker and consumer rights would be severely curtailed,the rich would be given their head! Democracy would be gutted to allow Plutocracy to reign supreme ! However,there is nothing inevitable about the political project of the right - as shown by the recent nationwide demonstrations against the closing down of Parliament,there is a growing wave of resistance. People,you have the power to stop a No Deal Brexit ! Take power and make history!

It’s a pity this Labour party in Salford did not show Jeremy Corbyn the real Salford and not the millions spent on the Quays, which borders Trafford, It’s also a shame real Salfordians were NOT allowed to have their say, and if they were, then they were Labour members, and lastly, The Salford people voted to leave the EU, therefore our MP should respect the people’s decision, instead she’s fighting with her leader Albert from Stepso & Son to remain. Remember how she thinks of us, next time you vote.
