Funny reading all the comments on Twitter from his fervent supporters saying they will now leave the party, as though that’s a bad thing or unintentional on Labour’s part.

Unsurprising that nasty little racist Corbyn is still smearing the reputation of the party he singlehandedly almost destroyed from the sidelines.

Interesting that he is re-stating the libellous claims that were just settled, I hope they sue him as an individual and clean the privileged elite millionaire out.
Libel actions incoming by all accounts.

Just seen this
Keir has declared all out war on the hard left factions.
Surely they will leave now and be replaced by numerous or more moderate sensible people who were pushed away.
Might even vote for them myself now
Wonder if Keir will withdraw the whip from Corbyn. Nothing to lose really.

Great bit of hypocrisy from Red Len here who, it turns out, used Unite money, funded by union membership dues, to fund Corbyn Milne and Fornby’s failed challenge to stop these whistleblowers being apologised to.

Mr McCluskey, whose union is Labour's largest financial backer, tweeted: 'Today's settlement is a misuse of Labour Party funds to settle a case it was advised we would win in court.

I really doubt Labour received that advice. If they had, they would have settled without that extremely contrite statement in open court.

That assumes that the hard left is capable of much in the way of rational thought.

Indeed, that pretty much encapsulates my entire problem with left wing politics in general...

Well, that & the fact they seem to be incapable of grasping basic Mathematics or to master the use of a simple calculator!

McCluskey represents all that is wrong with the Labour party today, he isn't bothered about "The workers" but only his own power and wealth. The archetypal champagne socialist who took the mantle from that other upstanding socialist Bob Crow.

McCluskey has recently announced he has brought his retirement forward by 12 months, therefore one has to ask how this is a good use of Unite's membership contributions, as with all those lunches in swanky London restaurants.

This court case will bankrupt Corbyn and finish him from any meaningful political position. But no doubt he will still get called upon by Iranian TV and Russia Today.

Useful idiot springs to mind.

Is it a council house? I thought not from various, now long lost, articles.

Would you believe it. The crazies/russians/momentum have setup a gofund me to pay for the legal fees £20k+ so far.

As one tweet put it "Fundraiser for a millionaire antisemite , just goes to show how gullible these idiots are" (@GitGrumpygit)

I don't think most Corbyn supporters would pay that!

These are the anti-elitist socialists who are for the many not the few, who demanded a refund from their own party for tickets to Labour Live when they realised that some people had been given tickets for free!
