Following Sander’s dropping out of the race for the Democrat’s presidential nomination, Corbyn Tweets:
“Solidarity @berniesanders. The struggle for a better world goes on.”
Speaking to his supporters last night, socialist firebrand and hanging-on-in-there US Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders – the sweetheart of many a Corbynista – heaped praise on Rishi Sunak’s economic support package. The senator told supporters on a livestream last night “what is going on in the UK… is, I think, the proper approach… that is the direction I think we should have gone here”. Makes Corbyn and McDonnell’s opposition for opposition’s sake look even more childish…
Farage returned to CPAC this year victorious, just one month after Brexit finally got done. Naturally, he went down very well with the Republican, Trumpian audience who enjoyed his usual off-script, call and response populist message. He surprised some in the audience with an unusual message…
“So you really don’t like Bernie Sanders? Can I suggest to you that you are wrong?
You should be backing Bernie Sanders, you should be campaigning for Bernie Sanders, you should be donating money to Bernie Sanders!”
It’s all, of course, to make sure the Democrats lose. After the belated success of #Tories4Corbyn, is it time for #Republicans4Sanders?..
This has now surfaced and will make the easiest attack advert for Bernie…
Labour and Momentum have been accused of accepting illegal foreign donations during the election campaign, with the Tories reporting both to the electoral commission and demanding an urgent investigation. Read the letter in full here…
Despite Labour constantly pointing their own fingers at supposed ‘dark money’ coming in from abroad to influence elections, new evidence shows Labour and Momentum have received support from the Bernie Sanders-supporting Democratic Socialists for America who have been running phone banking sessions for the party from five US states. Not surprising given how similar they are – the presidential hopeful even nicked Corbyn’s slogan…
Such activity – also being donated by the Party of European Socialists – is illegal as it’s being undertaken by overseas corporate bodies with no connection to the UK, and there is no indication of where the money is coming from. Only the second most worrying foreign donation Labour have accepted this week, following the Russian-originated unredacted trade documents…
Donlad Trump and Hillary Clinton have emerged as the winners from what has been dubbed ‘Super Tuesday 2’.
Trump secured victories in 3 out of 4 states currently declared, including the all important winner-takes-all state of Florida. Although John Kasich did take Ohio, another winner-takes-all state. No gains for Rubio however, who has given up and announced he’s withdrawing from the race.
Meanwhile in the Democratic contest Hilary won has won 4 out of 4 states currently counted, leaving Bernie Sanders with nothing. So far the winners in the states that have declared are as follows:
Trump: Florida, Illinois, North Carolina
Kasich: Ohio
Clinton: Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio
Missouri is still undecided, with Trump and Clinton looking the likely winners there also. Live updates to follow.
