Scottish launch of Momentum slams Blairite wreckers
JEREMY CORBYN supporters were urged to build support for socialist policies both within Labour and wider communities at a packed-out launch of Momentum Scotland at the weekend.
Labour MSP Elaine Smith slammed attacks from the right-wing media and Blairites within the party at the Saturday event.
She pointed out that “60 per cent is a huge mandate for change, and the only ones who don’t realise that are the dinosaurs in the Parliamentary Labour Party.”
