So no hope from Jeremy either?

What’s your excuse for being an apologist for Chavez and Madhuro then?
There is no excuse.

Have I apologised for Chavez? Could you quote me where? or is this yet another instance of your vivid imagination and tendency to label people (Corbynista, Chavez apologist, communist).

America was to blame for Cuba, America is to blame for Venezuela trisha ?

The actions of the USA in both places have contributed massively to the poverty and hardship in those countries Annie. In the case of Cuba this has actually created an incredibly creative and resourceful people. For example they were not permitted to import dialysis machines so they build their own. Not easy and it takes longer but they do it because they have no choice.

Earlier today I caught the last few minutes of Sputnik on Russia Today and George Galloway was interviewing Ben Chacko the editor of the Communist paper The Morning Star , the paper of choice I believe for some of our MP's.

I could be doing Galloway and Chako a disservice but the few minutes I watched was of no surprise to me as they are coming at it from their political view .

Americas fault.
Could be a new Syria situation .
Media will bring up Corbyn to try and harm him.
The British government should keep out of it.
A Corbyn government would sort it out by talking peace.

I will try and catch the whole interview but I do hope they mention , at least acknowledge Moduro is now a Dictator.

As for the UK keeping out of it the EU have backed Juan Guaidó, I do not know where the UK government stands as a Sovereign Nation.

Countries so far backing Juan Guaido
Argentina,
Brazil,
Chile,
Colombia,
Costa Rica,
Ecuador,
Guatemala,
Honduras,
Panama,
Paraguay
Peru
USA
Canada
European Union

Countries so far backing Moduro.

Russia
China
Cuba
Bolivia

Happy to be corrected.

If things were not bad enough for the Venezuelans the thought of a new Syria scenario is a scary thought .

What can the Venezuelans do though under a corrupt Dictatorship, where can they get help? The United Nations will meet and as always China and Russia will vote in opposition to the majority.

Corbyn would invite Modura to Westminster for a cup of tea and all will be calm

Well, divisions in the Parliamentary Labour should soon be a thing of the past due to a recent decision taken by the National Executive committee. It would seem that many old Blairite MPs that have caused so many problems in the party by their thinking being so out of line with the grassroots policies of the party will very soon be "out the door."

Report from skwawkbox.org is posted below:-

Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC) sub-committees met on Tuesday – and one of the outcomes will trigger intense discussion and activity at constituency parties (CLPs) around the country.

In 2017, the calling of a snap election resulted in Labour’s NEC and administrative machine – then both still weighted in favour of the party’s right wing – announcing that CLPs with an incumbent MP would be forced to keep that MP as their general election candidate if the MP wished to stay on. In many CLPs without an incumbent MP, unsuccessful candidates from the 2015 general election were simply re-imposed.

The decision provoked outrage among the party’s left-leaning mass membership, as it forced many CLPs to campaign for unpopular right-wing candidates.

Last September, Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool approved new rules for candidate selections, lowering the bar for CLPs to trigger a selection contest to just one in three branches supporting a contest – and removing the ability of right-leaning unions to ‘stack’ branch affiliations into CLPs to protect favoured incumbents. Right-wingers were not happy.

Now an NEC source has told the SKWAWKBOX that the NEC has made a statement of intent – and of the party’s preparedness for a new general election – by authorising Labour general secretary Jennie Formby to prepare a plan to ensure that CLPs have the opportunity to call a selection process if they so wish, even if Theresa May calls a new ‘snap’, short-campaign general election.

The plan is not expected to be ready in time for next Tuesday’s full, NEC meeting and the next one is not scheduled until March – but the NEC ‘officers group’ expects to meet earlier to approve Formby’s plan when it is ready.

Labour members eager to select a candidate who better represents their aims and politics will quickly be starting their own plans for a rapid trigger process and identifying good would-be candidates to contest seats with unpopular ‘centrist’ incumbents.
Article Ends Here:

Most certainly Lively times in the Labour party ahead as Jenney Formby stamps her authority on the party from her position as General Secretary. It has always been said that in the right hands the General Secretary would be the most powerful position in the party, and Formby is most definitely proving that to be true.

Some women, shop steward in a totally male-dominated HGV Road Tanker depot in her teens, and now bending the Labour party to her ideas and will in her fifty's.

Some talk the talk, while others actually walk the walk.

Oh not squak box again.

Formby, we will never know if she got a leg up because she is the mother of McClusky’s son

Oops, when I said ‘leg up’ I was referring to her rise through the ranks not her sex life .

metaphorical rather than literal then Anniebach!

Oh not implying that a woman can only be successful if she sleeps with the right men again! And some claim to be feminists!

I didn’t say she got promotion because she slept with McClusky, I said we will never know , perhaps, perhaps not

Jalima could be either ?

Anniebach, as you have been told many times before, Len McCluskey does not even have a seat on Labours NEC, and that is the body that has granted Jenney Formby the position and powers that she now holds.

You always wish to bring peoples personal lives into threads on this forum Anniebach, and in doing that fall flat on your face.

As someone who claims a fifty-year active membership of the Labour Party, you consistently demonstrate little knowledge of its constitutional history, rules and structure.

Make one wonder?

I am going to say something which is very non-pc as well, but, in a parody of Mrs Merton, "so what first attracted her to the powerful trade unionist Len McCluskey?"
Perhaps he has a GSOH.

Doesn’t work grandad1943, McClusky has much power in the Labour Party now, fact. You defend her position because she is an ex lover of McClusky ?

Makes one wonder

Coincidence?

Jalima1108, who knows what attracts two people into a personal relationship. However, in the case of Jenney Formby, she built up her career in the Transport & General Workers Union (now the Unite Union) working in the regions when that union was totally male-dominated. In that, she was elected by that membership to numerous ever more stronger positions. She became a Reginal Secretary for the South East region, which is the highest position in the union short of being its General Secretary which is the McCluskey position.

She then had the role of Political Organiser anded to her other roles(s) before being Elected as the Labour Party General Secretary by Labours NEC.

Does the above look as though Formby needed help from anyone in her career.

As stated some women get on forums such as this and talk the talk, while other women get out in the real world and actually walk the walk.

Jalima1108, who knows what attracts two people into a personal relationship.
I know, amazing isn't it! I can see why he was attracted to her and assumed that he must have a GSOH (or something). That is very non-pc and such a shallow view
Mrs Merton was great, that remark was a classic..

As stated some women get on forums such as this and talk the talk, while other women get out in the real world and actually walk the walk.
After they are retired, having probably walked the walk all their working lives.

She was a shop steward , 7 years after she had a son with McClusky she became a regional officer

OMG!! the Daily Fail finding fault with Trade Unions and the Labour Party whatever next?
Really though how can we acheive equality for women if other women constantly undermine their acheivements by saying they are only successful because they have slept with or are friends with a powerful man?

Well Anniebach, if it's in the Daily Mail, it has to be true.

Of course, none of those women could possibly have made it due to their own talents, could they.

They would all require the help and patronage of men. OH, and they would have to share a bed with them to get that help and patronage would they not

Totally Disgusting that some women should actually think and believe the above.

Yes they could make it due to their own talents, tbere are many talents ?

Aren't us poor ladies who obviously have never achieved anything in our delicate lives lucky to have such a "well informed gentlemen" to educate us in the ways of the world!!!!

‘Totally disgusting ‘ my foot. From a man who defended the scum who could have saved 128 lives in one small community
