Momentum to start children's wing to boost 'involvement in labour movement'
...
The new group is also aimed at “increasing children’s involvement in Momentum and the labour movement by promoting political activity that is fun, engaging and child-friendly”.
Speaking to BBC Panorama Unite leader Len McCluskey said Labour MPs who rebelled against Mr Corbyn should be punished for 'disgraceful' behaviour' He said: 'I think they would. I think anybody who behaves in a way that is totally disrespectful and out with the culture of the Labour party is basically asking to be held to account.'
More exit poll data from Berlin: 55% think the influx of refugees "enriches" Germany, though a majority do want some limit on numbers. 84% think the AfD is too right-wing, including half of those who voted for them; many of these also say they wanted to protest against the other "old" parties, only 30% say it related to immigration. The Sociliasts and Left got high ratings for competence and dealing with the housing crisis; but both lost votes among unemployed voters. The Greens scored on "fresh innovation". Former CDU voters voting AfD partly cite immigration, partly just that the party has "lost its way" and is "out of touch". The Left had a big lead among younger voters.
How representative are Berlin voters of German voters in general?
Not much! As someone else said, it's very like London. But a couple of the elements are probably meaningful - I think that elsewhere too people see the AfD as a good protest party; mainly but not only about immigration; they are doing well among the unemployed; the Left (unusually on an international scale) is generally seen as quite competent and a young person's party; CDU voters feel it's all rather a shambles.

This sounds worrying like the sort of thing I used to learn about studying the communist and fascist dictatorships for GCSE History. The mind boggles.

I believe Corbyn regularly rebelled against his party over 500 times I have heard it said?
This I think is the extreme lefts problem ......total hypocrisy. Ok if we do it but not you.
