Get behind Corbyn or Labour will lose in 2020
Trade union TSSA rallies behind Corbyn against ‘bitter MPs’

“BITTER” Labour MPs are continuing to attack Jeremy Corbyn because they have given up hope of beating him in a leadership election, trade unionists said yesterday.

Transport union TSSA’s general secretary Manuel Cortes said: “All this talk of coups and counter-coups — that won’t work. He’ll win again!”

And he echoed shadow chancellor John McDonnell’s recent call for critical MPs to “put up or shut up,” adding: “You know why they won’t put up? Because they’ll be beaten. They’ll be wiped out in one go.”
