  30. Dan Jarvis: While not as vocal as others, Jarvis was part of the moderate faction within Labour that was critical of Corbyn’s direction for the party.

These saboteurs, including the current Labour leader, Keir Starmer, are the main reason why we have faced immense hardships under the current government because Labour MPs plotted and worked flat out to undermine a Labour government by throwing both general elections in 2017 and 2019. Those saboteurs were directly rewarded by the Tories for their services, including seats in the House of Lords, as a payback for their dirty deeds, because they hated the then Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. A Corbyn government, would never greenlight a massacre that is on the verge of decimating an entire population of mostly women and children in Gaza. A Corbyn government would never have sanctioned the weapons used to massacre these people. A Corbyn government would have looked after the British people and not sacrificed them to a cost of living crisis and austerity. A Corbyn government would have stamped out the corruption that was rife under the Tories. A Corbyn government would have put the country first, not openly abused it for the sake of a few billionaires.

Just some of those who helped the Tories get in in 2019 in picture form.

A report eventually revealed the treachery and lies that were told by establishment figures to prevent Jeremy Corbyn upsetting their treachery

Never forget the traitors. They have long forgotten you.
