Jeremy Corbyn must never be allowed anywhere near Downing Street - EXPRESS COMMENT
JEREMY Corbyn has denied point blank that he was a spy for communist Czechoslovakia. But the very fact that these allegations can be made and taken seriously against the leader of one of Britain’s two great political parties tells you all you need to know about the man.
Professor blasts Corbyn for 'cosying up to enemies of freedom'
It is also noteworthy that the former Czech government certainly had him down as a person of interest who might be prepared to help the communist cause.
What we do know is this: that Jeremy Corbyn invited IRA terrorists to the House of Commons in the wake of the Brighton bombing and has called the terrorist organisations Hezbollah and Hamas his “friends”.
He has spoken out in admiration of the current regime in Venezuela, a country on its knees politically and economically and currently seeing the beginning of a refugee crisis that some say could eclipse Syria’s.
This is a man who still espouses Marxism, a political philosophy that was responsible for millions of deaths in the 20th century.
And this man aspires to Number 10.
Jeremy Corbyn is a disgrace to his country.
He is a disgrace to the Labour Party.
He must never be allowed anywhere near Downing Street.

Oxfam apology too feeble
THEY still don’t get it, do they?
Appearing in front of MPs, Oxfam boss Mark Goldring made a feeble apology, both for the appalling behaviour of aid workers in Haiti and in clearly not taking the matter seriously enough last week when he said: “The intensity and ferocity of the attack makes you wonder, what did we do? We murdered babies in their cots?”
Perhaps they didn’t murder babies but they did commit a horrendous abuse of trust and since then Mr Goldring has been forced to own up to another 26 reports of recent and historic abuse.
All this mea culpa really reveals, however, is not genuine contrition about the disgusting sense of entitlement that existed at Oxfam (and other aid agencies) but concern that the donations are drying up.
Another snippet to emerge yesterday was that 7,000 people have stopped making donations, as well they might.
Oxfam has not just let down the most vulnerable people on the planet in their time of greatest need, it has let down its supporters in this country.
Shame on everyone involved.

Where family comes first
WHEN Dennis and Shirley Banfield won the lottery their first thought was that it would set up their daughters for life.
Money can’t buy you love.
But there is clearly already an abundance of that in the Banfields’ home.
