    An article on her ...

    https://starspost.com/labour-leaders...s-party-crown/

    LABOUR leadership contender Rebecca Long-Bailey faces an exodus of MPs if she wins the party crown.

    The ex-solicitor is second-favourite to win the contest and her campaign was boosted after the support of union Unite.

    But one moderate Labour MP said: “I will walk out of the party.

    “I will leave, it will be the end of the party, it will be over.”

    “We all may have our favoured candidate but in reality it has to be ‘Anyone But Becky’ for the party to survive.”

    Unite boss ‘Red’ Len McCluskey said she had the “brains and the brilliance” to beat Boris Johnson.

    She claimed this week that she had no friends among Tory MPs at Westminster and told how she would be “disappointed” if her friends backed Boris.

    Long-Bailey, who was first elected in 2015, is backed by senior party figures John McDonnell and Diane Abbott.

    The answer is, 'No.' Never fear, wouldn't happen, not alone.

    Here's an example of Rebecca Long-Bailey's (hyphen optional, etc etc etc) sheer madness.

    This takes militancy to a level where a sane sifting of facts, merit, doesn't even figure in the equation !!

    https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/...estions-asked/

    REBECCA Long-Bailey will pledge to back workers and trade unions in every strike and dispute "no questions asked" if she succeeds in becoming Labour leader.

    The Shadow Business Secretary said the party's path back to power after its worst General Election defeat since 1935 was by "rebuilding" the trade union movement.

    She told a rally in Sheffield that the next leader must be "as comfortable on the picket line as at the dispatch box" and commit to giving workers a "right to unplug" from emails and calls outside of work hours.

    "As leader, I'll put trade unions at the heart of Labour's path to power and back workers in every dispute,” Ms Long-Bailey declared.

    Labour would "back workers in every dispute and strike against unfair, exploitative and unjust employers" under her leadership.

    And she insisted “standing on the side of workers and trade unions, no questions asked, is going to be crucial in standing up to this reactionary Conservative Government".
    She obviously feels that getting en masse support from trade Union members will be enough to boost Labour's electoral fortunes (meaning that she plans to BYPASS and IGNORE people who, until December last year, would've been loyal supporters of Labour, but for Brexit). If she means what she says (& I'm convinced she's insane enough to ..) .. then, and especially if Labour were to gain power in future, the UK's economy could go into meltdown.

    Our Winter of Discontent (1978-'79) was just such an example. Waves of strikes, paralysing industry, killing off companies, even threatening essential services such as firefighting and healthcare (even burying the dead !) ... we've already seen that chaos in the UK. Long-Bailey's militant craziness may one day threaten a re-run of that destruction.

    She should know better .. with our history being what it is, ANY Brit should. But our Left wing is so insanely power-mad that it just doesn't care.

    Taking a different tack, now ....

    Hopefully this will play in the US ?

    MAAJID NAWAZ. An impressive individual, in my book. His history, from long ago, was one of being a 'militant' Muslim, sympathetic to more supposedly 'extreme' Islamic ideology. Mr Nawaz did a total about-face, though, well over a decade ago. He actually helped found Quilliam, a Foundation dedicated to FIGHTING militant Islam. These days, he's as passionate an arguer for pro-Jewish rights as you'll find anywhere .. judging by what I've heard. His recent broadcasts about the atrocities committed at Auschwitz did him great credit.

    Nawaz broadcasts regularly on LBC Radio. This is a clip of Mr Nawaz blaming Labour's defeat on its true reason for defeat ... Jeremy Corbyn, who has his history as a pro-Hamas supporter .... listen to his comment from 2 mins 52 seconds in ....



    Remember Soleimani, the top Iranian that Trump ordered the assassination of ? We has one crazy caller trying to compare him - and Iran's Supreme Leader - to our Queen (yes, our Lefties truly ARE nuts). Nawaz's response .....
