I stand by Corbyn, along with the millions relying on him
The Labour MPs smearing their leader should know that working-class people are counting on a Corbyn-led government to drastically improve our lives, writes BERNADETTE HORTON

ONE by one they come to oust the leader. This week Labour Party members all around Britain have stood and watched the anti-semitism row unfold in Parliament. 

Many of us, like me, have shaken our heads with disbelief and utter horror that Corbyn, of all people, with a more than 40-year record of tackling racism and abuse, has been accused of anti-semitism and not doing enough to discourage such prejudice within the party.

I have had to silently stand by and watch what certain MPs are doing disguised under Brexit and anti-semitism, until now, where my pen can do the talking.
