I joined Labour immediately after Corbyn won the leadership, because I wanted to support him. Now I am deeply concerned for exactly the reasons detailed in this post.
I am increasingly impressed with Owen Smith. He does not support austerity and it is shocking to me how many people are uncritically repeating this completely false factoid. Especially when it is often the same people who (rightly) cite the LSE study showing how many lies have been repeated about Corbyn. I did not know anything about Owen Smith a week ago but I have looked for myself at what he has said and how he has voted. He is not a Blairite, does not support austerity, and does not want to privatise the NHS — on the contrary he is proposing massive public investment and insisting on a publicly owned NHS that stays free at the point of service. He’s proposing to renationalise the railways for heaven’s sake. I am sure he has flaws, but I am really fed up with people blindly repeating these complete lies.
