It’s Corbyn who should ba sacked

JEREMY Corbyn should be sacked, not Owen Smith. He fought a feeble Remain campaign that badly let down his Remain MPs, especially Jo Cox, murdered by a British Nazi. He has repeatedly failed to make clear that Brexit will mean even more austerity cuts to health, education, and social care, as well as scupper a frictionless border in Northern Ireland.

Although many Conservative voters do not want a UKIP-Tory government threatening their public services and making the “just about managing” unable to manage, Corbyn will never be Prime Minister because he is unacceptable to a majority of voters. The sooner both he and the Labour Party recognize this the better chance we will all have of a government that can actually govern in the national interest by properly representing our views on both sides of the Brexit divide.

He had a valid point about proof, and the risks to our own integrity posed by the Tory party’s acceptance of money laundered from the billions stolen from the Russian people, but the Commons’ condemnation of the use of an illegal nerve agent on British soil was not the occasion to make it.

All he has done is to hand Mrs. May the chance to strengthen her tenuous hold on power by presenting herself as a potential cold war warrior from the same mould as Mrs Thatcher over the Falklands.

This makes our far from splendid isolation all the more dangerous and must give Putin cause for gleeful satisfaction at the damage Brexit is doing to the European Union, to our own Union, and to our democracy. Margaret Phelps Penarth
