No wonder SNP won so incredibly in Scotland, they are a party that serves their people, and look after folk in all salary brackets. I didn't vote SNP, but I'm glad they won. I fully support Jeremy Corbyn. I think it's what this country finally needs from a Labour Government.Jan Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904099567866394066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99114187318864670.post-17151664080834249832015-08-13T08:03:04.207-07:002015-08-13T08:03:04.207-07:00Who is the PLP?

I'm very disturbed by the recent (petulant) behaviour of members of the PLP in the face of Corbyn's popularity, but even more disturbing - as you point out - has been how ineffective the party has been as supposedly the main opposition to the government, and sometimes not just looking on, but actually subscribing to Tory policies! The recent abstention by most Labour MPs, with regard to the Welfare Bill, was truly shocking and a despicable act.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314912520167241172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99114187318864670.post-64249490780243265802015-08-12T20:46:55.595-07:002015-08-12T20:46:55.595-07:00So much truth should stick in the craw...
