Lords have no right to trash Jeremy Corbyn's reputation in this way. That's why I started a petition declaring confidence in him
Chelley Ryan with Jeremy Corbyn

THERE is nothing more grating than having unelected, insular, wealthy Establishment “Labour” figures doing everything in their power, including throwing money at an anti-Corbyn newspaper to host an anti-Corbyn advertisement, to destroy our chances of winning a general election. 

There are people literally dying because of this vile government, be it through suicide, homelessness and a lack of adequate healthcare, and these Labour peers decide now, potentially months away from a general election, is the time to launch an unprecedented attack on the leader of her majesty's opposition.

Their self-indulgence is both sickening and eye-watering. If I thought one tenth of them actually believed Jeremy Corbyn was an ominous threat to Jewish people I’d have total sympathy with them, but I am convinced that’s not what they believe.
