Back to the Seventies with Jeremy Corbyn

THE good news is that Jeremy Corbyn is off to Ghana on a fact-finding mission. The bad news is that he’s got a return ticket.

With impeccable judgment, Labour’s leader has decided now is the time to hobnob with his socialist mates in Africa. And why not? There’s only the small matter of the greatest constitutional crisis in memory to consider.

But before he goes, Corbyn wants to treat us to his vision of Labour Britain. Apparently, we’re in for a revolution on the scale of 1979. Thatcherism – but in screeching reverse.

On the menu: Higher taxes. Massive state spending. Nationalisation of rail, mail, water and the National Grid. Bigger, bolder unions. You get the picture.

This unreconstructed Marxist nonsense would be laughable if not for the fact that it could actually happen.

Corbyn insists that he must lead a ‘government of national unity’ if the Conservatives lose a no-confidence vote on Brexit next month.

Amazingly, in their zeal to avoid No Deal, some rebel Tories are prepared to put him in No10. Are they mad? Thankfully, the British people aren’t. A poll shows they would rather accept No Deal than allow Chairman Corbyn to wreak havoc.

Corbyn claims the Prime Minister is driving the UK towards the cliff edge. What hypocrisy! Labour could have avoided No Deal by voting for Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement – Boris Johnson did. Instead, they cynically voted it down three times.

Make no mistake, the far-Left puppetmasters who pull Corbyn’s strings care nothing for the details of Brexit. Power is all they crave. And if they get it we will see them for what they are: Socialist blood red in tooth and claw.
