‘History will never forgive you’ if Corbyn and ‘Momentum mob’ get into power


Tories lined up to lambast Mr Corbyn as the Conservative Party conference in Manchester got off to an explosive start. Many taunted the Labour leader for running scared over a general election. Cabinet minister Michael Gove said that voting for any party other than the Tories risks letting Labour into power. 

He said: “Jeremy Corbyn is totally unfit to be Prime Minister of our country. 

“How can we let a man who supported Sinn Fein/IRA be in charge of our security? How can we let a man who thinks we shouldn’t have immigration controls be in charge of our borders? 

“How can we let a man who thinks we should punish companies for being successful be in charge of our economy? 

“And how on earth can we let a man who’s indulged, accommodated and excused the most terrible anti-Semitism be in charge of our democracy?” 

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab accused Mr Corbyn of taking the Kremlin’s side in the Salisbury nerve agent atrocity last year. 

Mr Raab said “some things are bigger than Brexit”, adding: “Keeping that lot out of Downing Street is one of them. 

“So, to any of our colleagues, or former colleagues, tempted to put Jeremy Corbyn and his momentum mob into No 10, as part of some temporary anti-Brexit coalition, I just say this – history would never forgive you.” 

Tory chairman James Cleverly began the assault as he opened the party conference in Manchester. 

He vowed a general election will come soon and that the Tories will defeat the opposition, boasting “bring it on”. 

He said: “The election that Corbyn has tried to avoid will come, and when it does we will be ready, and we will win. Corbyn has called for an election at least 35 times since 2017 – but when the opportunity came, he ducked it. Twice.” 

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay continued the barrage, telling delegates: “Labour don’t trust the people and that is why the people cannot trust them. 

“Labour ignore the votes of the many, because they prefer to listen to the opinions of the north London few. 

“Their position is to negotiate Brexit and then to scrap it. That would demolish the UK’s negotiating position. Labour’s Brexit policy can be summed up in three words: dither and delay.”
