I was puzzled to receive an election communication in Wrexham seemingly in Red from the Labour Party. It was from Ian Austin the former Labour MP for Dudley in the West Midlands (14 years) . Why I was singled out (or if I was) I don’t know. However, his ‘inside the party’ statements were clear. This is part of what he said…
“I could never ask anyone to make Jeremy Corbyn Prime Minister. I do not believe Jeremy Corbyn loves this country or that he and the people around him, can be trusted with our defence and security. They always seem to back people who hate Britain”.
“I know how hard it is for Labour voters to back the Tories, but at the end of the election either Boris Johnson will be prime minister or Jeremy Corbyn – That’s the choice. It is too big a risk. That is why we should lend the Tories our votes and stop Jeremy Corbyn getting anywhere near Downing Street.”
The fact that when questioned the other day, Corbyn didn’t know when the Queens Christmas message was on TV, in spite of his 70 Years in the UK, substantiates this un-patriotic claim.
When I go to vote I will have a mental picture of Corbyn, Abbott, Starmer, Rayner and Thornberry. This image alone will be more than enough to avert a vote for the current labour hierarchy.
