Op-ed: It looks like plotters within the Labour Party are working toward at least one story a day to undermine the party leader Jeremy Corbyn during the current leadership challenge.

Corbyn is lucky enough to have huge support within the party but not from some of his own MPs and today the tittle tattle comes from that 'other place' the House of Lords.

According to the Guardian "Lady Smith [Labour leader of the House of Lords] said of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership: ‘If we only rely on people who agree with us, then we won’t win an election.

Well Ms Smith the way some of you are carrying on election defeat is a certainty no matter who you talk to and who leads the party.

Perhaps you all believe that posting spurious allegations across the media will somehow give the electorate confidence in you?

If you are so deluded, a term many of the plotters like to use about Corbyn supporters, heaven help us all.

For some reason the Labour Party has always opted for very public and damaging political spats.

The current Conservative government is in turmoil but you will have to dig deep to find out what is going on there.

To the World they are trying to show a united, all sweetness and light, front.

Having worked on the right-wing principle of united we stand divided we fall for years they will do whatever it takes.

Unlike the Labour Party the Tory's do not feed the mainstream media a diet of divisive tittle tattle to suit.

The unnecessary badly-timed Labour leadership challenge has weeks to play out.

The gloves are off so expect a series of msm reports that are true, fake, fabrication, pure lies, carefully crafted spin and more.

Petty party political stories have already grabbed headlines news indicating sources such as BBC news have their own agenda.

He who pays the piper calls the tune and who with big money has most to gain from ousting Corbyn?

Post your thoughts in the comment section below.

Today's story as it goes in the Guardian is:
Labour’s leader in the House of Lords has said 10 months of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership has convinced her that despite having the “right values” he cannot persuade voters of his cause nor win a general election.

In an interview with the Guardian, Angela Smith said she had gone from being enthusiastic about Corbyn’s leadership to surprised by his lack of energy in shadow cabinet meetings, and failure to play an active role in attempts to force government U-turns.
As a result she said she was taking the highly unusual step of endorsing Owen Smith in her party’s leadership contest.
The Telegraph picked the story up and has opted for:
Angela Smith, Labour's leader in the House of Lords, has abandoned her support for Jeremy Corbyn because she said he had not been involved in key campaigns yet had claimed credit for them.

Lady Smith said "he wasn't part of the core team doing the hard work" yet Mr Corbyn had taken out full-page newspaper adverts claiming "I'd sooner by fighting the Tories", citing a victory in forcing the Government into a U-turn on tax credit cuts in the hope of winning the Labour leadership contest.
We have now picked the story up and we say bunkum.

Ms Smith et al are in the process of alientating many long and short term Labour Party supporters.

They appear to think that is a price worth paying to oust Jeremy Corbyn.

Big Bad Labour Party story Sunday involves office space spat
Jeremy Corbyn damned if he does and damned if he does not

Spot on. Do these people REALLY believe those of us who take an interest in politics will vote for anyone who has circumvented democrasy and behaved so spitefully towards their party leader? I for one will leave labour in the event of a successful coup. I could not in all conscience vote for those who put aside moralaity and who collude with the gutter press. Those of us who don't follow politics, actually hate Tony Blair. They won't vote for the Blairite's under any circumstances. This pantomime is destroying labour, and I can only conclude the plotters don't care as long as one Tory government or another is in power to preserve the status quo.

I hear your anger and totally relate to it.

I could no more vote for politicians that have shown themselves to be sleazy, untrustworthy, backstabbing, hypocritical, bullies and more than I could vote Tory.

I sense my long relationship voting Labour is coming to an end.

Spot on as usual Eileen thank you. The Labour Party have more members than all the other parties combined and each one of us knows people that always vote Labour despite being disillusioned with Blair/Brown years but aren't actually members yet; we also know people that have never voted in their lives/voted for the other parties and we can demonstrate that Corbyn's straight talking, new way of doing politics works! I know this to be true as I have already accidentally recruited new LP members through my posts and comments on social media and on this fab website.
I don't know how many "people of influence" read our articles and blogs but I would suggest that ordinary, grass roots people are "people of influence" ergo we are not "p****ng in the wind"!

    British political scene

    The next General Election in the UK may not be scheduled any time soon but the British political landscape is changing. With that in mind this blog will concentrate on the political scene but with a left wing perspective. Opinion pieces and news will bring you the stories that the MSM prefer to ignore.

    The writer, Eileen Kersey, is a lifelong Labour Party supporter and voter but fairly recent party member.
