SOME LABOUR PARTY MPs VOTE AIRSTRIKES 2016

After the turmoil of voting for air strikes in Syria the upheaval has still not settled down.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was, to some extent, cornered and had to give the MPs a free vote instead of a “coalition”

Mr Corbyn was totally against any air strike in Syria or elsewhere and it would have been better if the UK stayed out of it.

While PM David Cameron was itching for months to get involved but the MPs voted in 2013 against any military intervention. Now the IS has threatened to attack the UK after Mr Cameron won the vote this time. Everyone was aware of the risk but Mr Cameron ignored it and the result is that the whole country is on tender hooks and full alert.

There were 66 Labour MPs voting for air strikes in Syria. Mr Cameron did not give his MPs a free vote and therefore there could have been a number of Tory MPs who would have voted  against.   Mr Cameron knew that if he would have his ways after he manoeuvred Mr Corbyn into letting his MPs having a free vote. Sly Mr Cameron had the RAF already flying air strike, under the cover of the USA, in September 2014, even though the NO vote from the MPs still stood.

Now coming back to the Labour MPs.  It seems that the criticism kept increasing even so Mr Corbyn was elected by a majority. Mr Corbyn made it clear, from the start that he is against any war and the Trident program which cost £167billion to update with nuclear weapons.  It is obvious to anyone that these weapons can never be used but Mr Cameron covers it up with “security to the country”.  

This argument split not only the Labour Party but also some Tory MPs are against Mr Cameron who wants to be in the EU.

Mr Corbyn also wants to end austerity, stop the £12billion Welfare cut, Tax credit cut and also cancel the H2S train another £100billion project finally, make no mistake. In view of those cuts the £12billion Welfare cut is not necessary.

Again Mr Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne trying to justify their plans with bringing down the debts and the deficit again.  Have we not heard that in the last five years? The result was austerity brought people down to rely on food banks and they did not bring down the debts but increased it by  £500billion. It was the most brazen, bare-face lies of politics and now they repeating it.

The critics and atmosphere in the Labour Party became so strong that Mr Corbyn saw no alternative but to reshuffle, not as much as should have been done in my view, his cabinet.

It makes one wonder if those MPs who all of sudden criticise Mr Corbyn very strongly, are not Blairites and therefore Thatcherites? After all ex-PM Tony Blair eventually dropped his cover and turned out to be a Thatcherite.

There is no doubt that Mr Cameron has an opponent which he can not deal with. Mr Corbyn has all the characteristics which Mr Cameron and his Party are lacking. They are respectful, care for their voters and listen to them, honesty, truthfulness and open straight forward dealings.

Therefore it would be no surprise if Mr Cameron and his disciples would try, quietly, to dislodge Mr Corbyn. Is that the real reason behind it?

Mr Cameron, again, points the finger at the Labour being split. It is not a split but just a few MPs who discovered they do not agree with Mr Corbyn’s principles. However, there is the same situation in the Tory party regarding the EU IN/Out referendum. Five of his top MPs threatened to resign if they are not allowed to campaign against EU membership.

At first Mr Cameron stated that he would not allow them. Only after a few days he now told them that they can campaign provided they do no move the voters away from the EU membership to be continued. It is a total contradicting rubbish. Let us see if those Top Tory MPs stand by their words because Mr Cameron's last comment on the subject is nothing but a wishy-washy.
