Op-ed: It is Easter Sunday and if you are an active Christian you will be celebrating the idea that Jesus has risen. If you are instead or also a Jeremy Corbyn supporter in the UK you may think that Judas Iscariot has been cloned and his clones are sitting pretty in the Labour party and feeding various right-wing Rupert Murdoch publications news of a future Labour Party coup by backbenchers. Parliament is in recess with PM David Cameron sunning himself in Lanzarote; yes if you fell for his Easter message which appears to have been given at home think again. So this latest batch of offensive Labour attacks appears to be political opportunism gone mad. Are they megalomaniacs or on a Labour party suicide mission? And remember these vile and very public attacks are from Labour party MPs. But do for example any of the three in the image above think that such disloyalty will improve Labour's chances at the polls? If they do they are delusional. We are weeks away from local elections and the EU in/out referendum and Mr Corbyn, Labour party leader, has been doing well but not if you listen to in-party backstabbers who want Labour to be their idea of the party. Yes their way or the highway. They continue to set Corbyn up to fail while putting their hands out for nice little earners; along the way they waste too much time backstabbing. Easter then we have the well-known Tory rag and some would say publication that is not fit to be toilet paper posting "Labour Backbenchers call to oust Jeremy Corbyn in leadership coup." Murdoch's other end of the toilet paper spectrum, the Times, followed suit. In the piece in the Sun Ms Smith is even quoted as attacking Corbyn for attending the British Kebab Awards; perhaps she would prefer him to attend arms fairs like others involved in the alleged future coup? Will Ms Smith share her diary with us for perusal so we can decide what is suitable for her and what is not? As we all know with friends like these who needs enemies? If the Sun and the Times are simply using poetic licence to craft a story out of spin and propaganda we will happily share the truth. Last week IPSO forced the Sun to publish a retraction after a damning front page which could have incited Muslim hatred; sadly the weak and ineffective British press regulator IPSO did not manage to get the apology on the Sun's front cover. The story was posted late November and three months later a half-ass apology is not fit for purpose. But it is no good blaming the right-wing media when you have a website run by a section of the Labour party posting the following "UK could be destined for a permanent Tory government Labour MP warns." That post on the Labour list is yet more tosh from a Blairite or as John Prescott would say a Bitterite. Tory election campaigns have heavy financial support but they are now also being helped along by a series of backstabbing Labour politicians who claim to have our best interests at heart. Now why do we not believe them?

Agree Andrea. Woodcock tweeted Friday JC is not Jesus Christ when someone said similar to him. Well he Woodcock is not even a loyal Labour party MP is he?

When are they going to realise that if they ousted JC then half the party members would go too? And the backstabbers are very unlikely to be re-elected. Maybe the bribes are worth it to the traitors!

Idiots like these three should be expelled from the party, lets see if they keep their seats at the next election as independent labour, not to mention their very impressive salaries and expenses.

This is the last thing the party needs. Can not these dissenters just go along with the vast majority of the membership, unless they have other motives.
