I am disappointed that they have not yet announced who should stand to represent the left within the Labour Party. John McDonnell in my opinion clearly has the upper hand and has worked tireless over the past year to get support. Micheal Meacher should give his full support to McDonnell on this issue, the fact this is still going on is disgraceful, come on Micheal.

John McDonnell touches on privatisation, and public money filling the pockets of the private sector. He also defends democracy from those who think it is a waste of time. Clearly when the bourgeoisie face opposition in an election they quickly lose their democratic credentials.

No real surprise. He'll meet the Queen on June the 27th to hand over his resignation as Prime Minister and will stay on as Labour leader until the Labour Party elects a successor.

For the fools that voted for the Tories at the recent elections, just think how worse off we'd be if the Tories were in power the last 10 years. The public services would be gone; the NHS would have been dismantled instead of having record levels of investment. There would be no minimum wage and the rich would be even richer, and there'd be no peace in Northern Ireland.

So long Mr Blair. Now Michael Meacher needs to back off, so John McDonnell can bring the left of the Labour Party to take the leadership and bury the Tories at the next election.
