WHAT. THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION.
Oh no, the BBC were bias against Corbyn? I never noticed! Did anyone else notice their subtle anti-Corbyn stance?

Momentum: Labour’s route to a mass movement?
After Jeremy Corbyn’s success in the Labour Party leadership election, Momentum, a new left wing group, has been launched. Its aim is to turn Labour into a mass movement once again. Although it is independent of party leadership, Jeremy Corbyn has voiced his support saying it will “put the people’s values back into politics.” Momentum will hold rallies and will organise activists. This compares to Blairite lobby group Progress which was formed after Tony Blair’s 1994 leadership election victory. Although Progress has little grassroots support, it has been very successful in organising at the Parliamentary level, getting support from MPs and dominating Parliamentary selections. The hope is that Momentum will be able to successfully challenge Progress. Momentum also aims to bring together all the groups across the Labour left and Campaign for Labour Party Democracy and Red Labour have been involved in pre-launch discussions. However, Momentum will be far more than just a collection of internal pressure groups and it will become a mass movement with grassroots support, unlike Progress. Left wing Labour MP Clive Lewis, who nominated Jeremy Corbyn, said that Momentum would turn Labour “into a democratic institution worthy of its founders’ original aspirations.” He also wrote “The array of vested interests confronting us cannot be taken on by one man or even one single political party in Westminster. Instead, we need a bigger, broader, deeper alliance.” Momentum’s dreams are big but hopefully achievable. Labour needs to become a mass movement once again and it can be, it will just take a lot of work.

“My friends – we cannot let that man inflict his security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology on the country we love.”
There is something fundamentally wrong with the Tory rhetoric regarding Jeremy Corbyn (well actually there’s something wrong pretty much all the fucking time but oh well). My problem with Cameron in this instance is his suggestion that Corbyn’s socialist and socially AWARE policies are somehow “un-British”.
What is “Britishness”? It cannot be an isolated identity that exists in a vacuum. If you are British, you are saying that you belong to the community that is Great Britain, which encompasses England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, all classes of people, all races, sexualities, abilities and genders.
I don’t know about you, but to me, all the Tory policies that threaten the financial security (yes, SECURITY) and general safety of some of the most vulnerable groups in Great Britain (read: not a wealthy, able bodied, cishet white male), seem to be the most “un-British” thing I can think of.
David- you do not love Britain, you love your wealthy, privileged faction of Britishness, and clearly couldn’t give a fuck about anyone else.
