Chuka Umunna burns his boats

Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader of the Labour Party. Chuka Umunna's chum Prince Charles was not elected. The right wing hope to ditch Jeremy Corbyn without the embarrassment of a leadership election. 

70 percent of Daily Mirror readers disagree with Chuka Umunna's assessment of the Labour Party.That is because it is nonsense.

The right made a song and dance about the refusal of the NEC to adopt all the examples tacked on to the international definition of anti-semitism. When the NEC retreated by adopting all the examples, the right just continued with their offensive offensive.

By denouncing Labour as "institutionally racist", Chuka Umunna has burnt his boats. It is clear his future lies with Tony Blair's fictitious moderate party.

I don't know if Tony Blair is thought of as a moderate in Iraq or as a mass-murdering war criminal. It is clear that Chuka Umunna thinks he would be better off with Blair, with the trademark austerity and privatisation of Blairism, than with the Labour Party he calls "dogs". We will just have to manage without him.
