During the past six months
Corbyn and McDonnell have faced a barrage of attacks from the Tories, the
right-wing media, especially the scum press, and, sadly, from back-stabbing
Blairite rats and snakes within the Parliamentary Labour Party.
These attacks, particularly
from their own side, have been both galling and of course treacherous. There is
still talk of a coup against Corbyn following the May elections, where Labour
is expected to lose seats. Although, Sadiq Khan appears to be well ahead in the
London mayoral race.
However, this week has seen
Corbyn’s Left leadership rise in the polls. A week in
which Corbyn and McDonnell performed a spectacular strike against the
government by announcing their own fiscal rule; condemning the attacks on
benefits; and now splitting the government front benches.
“It is no longer “put up or shut up” time for the
Progress wing of Labour. Just the latter.”- Paul Mason.
