The leader of Haringey Council has sensationally quit - blaming her decision on the 'sexism, bullying and undemocratic behaviour' of Momentum activists.

"Claire Kober said she will step down in May after her local Labour group was ripped apart by an influx of Corbynistas.

[Mamyalynne]

I'll guess 5.

Vote Labour into office - and take a look at your new masters.

[emmie]

that is what's so scary, this Momentum group are creeping into all corners, what can one do about it apart from not vote Labour..

[naomi24]

If the Labour party are happy with what's happening, as they appear to be, that's the only solution.

[emmie]

bet your average Labour voter knows little or next to noting about Momentum, they just see nice Mr Corbyn making all these promises and go for it.

Old commies and young impressionable idiots do not a goverment make.

We'll maybe get a purge nearer election time

[douglas9401]

Nice Mr Corbyn? Who knew there were two of them?

[naomi24]

douglas, a purge has already begun and I can't see it changing.

[naomi24]

douglas, I think there's only one. You can't miss him. He's that old impressionable hippie .... the one with strings attached.

puppet masters Momentum are a complete threat to democracy. Why can't Corbyn see that, or does it matter to him.

[naomi24]

emmie, If it advances his ambition he's happy. A regular Pinocchio.

[emmie]

whilst the Tories are in high dudgeon, he is a threat make no mistake.

[ToraToraTora]

oh dear trouble in paradise, what will mikey say!

[emmie]

spath
yes from the leader no less of Haringay Council

[Baldric]

I doubt our local Labour Diehard will see anything wrong with it,
Power at any price, by any means as long as it's Power.

the issue in Haringey, rather than in the Mail, was the council's decision to flog off swathes of council property into private hands.

How have these public-private partnerships been going lately? Better ask Carillion.

[emmie]

Her decision comes after the Labour National Executive Committee - which is now dominated by Momentum - took the rare decision to tell the Labour-run council to halt a controversial private partnership housing scheme

do they have so much power they can do this sort of thing, surely not?

[Jackdaw33]

Momentum are merely doing to Haringey and elsewhere what Militant did to Liverpool back in the 80s. At least Kinnock had the cojones to tackle Militant head-on. Corbyn neither cannot or indeed wants to do the same.
