Jeremy Corbyn: Crisis of Confidence and Leadership.

It seems with every day that Jeremy Corbyn and those at the top of the Labour Party fail to get a grip of the Anti-Semetism issue, is another day that the Tories are let off scott free regarding Brexit.

Just like Brexit is consuming the Tory party to the exclusion of poverty, homelessness, crime and all the other important facets of government, the Anti-Semetism crisis on the opposition benches is preventing Labour from calling the government to task on those failures.

The fissures, fractures and failures in the Tory party right now should a mountain of material to kick into the open goal available, but at each PMQs we get bumbling Mr Bean presenting failure after failure to deliver a coup-de-grace, kicking wide of the very open goal week after week.

And that's it: we see him most Wednesdays failing the non-Tories of the country and then he disappears like a hermit, never to be seen or heard unil the next Wednesday. Not the sign of a leader. He should be up there, in the public eye on a daily basis thumping lecterns and desks and speaking about the injustices regarding the poor. Instead it seems he's more likely to stay at home and drink free trade cocoa with his plaid slippers on.

When he does rise from his cocoa-induced slumbers, it seems he's intent on giving his enemies ammunition by aligning with terrorist organisations, attending far-left rallies and not denouncing anti-semitic outbursts..

Jeremy Corbyn is doing the poor and needy of this country a disservice by staying in office if he can't put this to bed. Or to put is another way, if he can't put it to bed quickly, he is not the person to lead the Labour Party.

By bumbling along and letting things continue, by pushing it out to committees and endless investigations, he is allowing others outside Labout to disrepute the party.

Investigations need to be thorough, swift and decisive.  Failure on either count looks like dithering, prevarocation and right now looks like tacit approval of the anti-semitic sentiment in Labour.

The Labour party needs a leader that can lead. Maybe Corbyn has been on the back benches for too long and is used to just leaving it to everyone else to run the shop. But that can't happen... he's the bloody leader of the party!

It's gone on for so long, the party are calling themselves into disrepute.

Their failure to crack on and fight on behalf of the poor and the impoverished and the dispossessed shows thay have taken the wrong route in politics.

STOP IT NOW!
