Corbyn Risks Labour Division Over New City Tax

[naomi24]

//Jeremy Corbyn will force the Labour party to introduce a new tax on the City, in a move that pits the Labour leader against his newly elected mayor.
The Labour leader told activists at the party’s final Remain rally in London that a Labour government would introduce a financial transactions tax – dubbed the Robin Hood tax -- on the City, stoking simmering divisions between the left-wing leader and other senior figures in the party.//

That’ll do the country a lot of good!! A wonderful incentive for investment!! If Labour cherishes any hope at all of making any sort of a comeback Corbyn has to go - and the senior figures in the party know it. Who would really be stupid enough to vote for such a silly, ignorant man?

if the labour mayor opposes this policy he will be at odds with the membership that elected mr corbyn.

he may well find himself deselected.
