.@angelaeagle I would like to take your tweet about unity as being genuine.
If it is, given the painful events of the last 3 years (and your own part in them), please provide much more detail as to your change of heart.
Lots of people are mistrustful and angry; I don't blame them twitter.com/TomLondon6/sta…

Sure. There is a lot of emotion and distrust, understandably, given the events of the last 3 years. I feel it too.
But when someone like @angelaeagle offers an olive branch I think we should grasp it twitter.com/GrayWolfBG1/st…

“They who have put out the people's eyes reproach them of their blindness.” - John Milton
10 (or is it as high as 20?) Labour MPs on the right wing of the party have spent 3 years undermining the leader & the party
Then jeer & sneer "party is split; should be 20 points ahead!"

Was ecstatic when Blair & Labour won in 1997
21 years on, Blair cuts a sad figure. Lionised in boardroom, in media and wherever powerful people gather but despised by very many in the UK
As for Labour, it stands on the cusp of bringing fundamental change & ending Thatcherism

A brilliant book which should be read by Corbyn supporters for pleasure and Corbyn opposers to learn why he is the bookies’ favourite to be next PM (& much of what they think they know ain’t true)

And this is why I joined, not to say those mentioned were perfect. However to see Labour return to it's socialist roots was what made me and others like me join the party. As a young activist in the Stop the War movement there was no way in hell I would join under #TonyBlair twitter.com/TomLondon6/sta…

Chuka Umunna tells Jeremy Corbyn to 'call off the dogs' - BBC News bbc.com/news/uk-politi…
Mr Umunna @ChukaUmunna
1. I am not a dog
2. What was the real reason you dropped out of leadership race?
3. If you ARE setting up a new party - please get on with it

Stephen, what disturbs me about @ChukaUmunna's phrase is the implication that ordinary constituency members can be leashed or unleashed at the behest of Corbyn
Truth is this is grassroots democracy
Diktats from the centre were a feature of New Labour rather than the party now twitter.com/GriffithStephe…

Let's examine the word "cult"
To me, if someone is in a cult, it means they follow the cult-leader WHATEVER he or she says
Now, I follow Corbyn BECAUSE of what he says. If he changed his tune, I'd stop following
As for those following Blair, many seem to do so WHATEVER he says

New Labour deserves credit for achievements in equality & human rights
Also improving public services
BUT
Iraq was not only a disaster in terms of lives but also undermined trust in politics
And never challenged Thatcherism so Cameron easily undid much of its work twitter.com/JeremyCliffe/s…

Mark, @Hunterrr50 here’s the thing
@ChukaUmunna is implying constituency activists are following Corbyn’s orders
But this is genuine grassroots democracy
Diktat from the centre was a feature of New Labour
Times have changed in this regard as many others twitter.com/hunterrr50/sta…

Thank you @STEVEL11361
Here are the BBC’s public purposes from their Charter
@BBCR4Feedback any chance of my discussing my concerns about BBC’s failings in this regard?
Preferably live with @RobBurl or @sarahsands100 twitter.com/stevel11361/st…

Difficult to feel much sympathy for the small number of Labour MPs who have or may yet face votes of no confidence
They were all part of the attempt to “break Corbyn as a man”
They have helped Tories by their actions
And should have been paying attention to their local parties

.@bbcnews you have an obligation to be careful with your language
Corbyn and his supporters are NOT “hard left" - they are “on the left of the party”
The Labour MPs attacking Corbyn are NOT “moderates” - they are “on the right of the party”
