reputation of being a sophisticated journalist of round when i'm one of them but i don't know well rounded ping i arrived around the world and if you if you believe for one second that security forces with your experience are not involved in these type of political muscle action one shred of a level of course you don't have notice i don't know it was a smear it was merely a security hole and well for shame or shame on me for security for smearing the security forces the security forces they have a day was a threat to the day of his only their history of the security forces in the british labor movement has been nothing short of disproved disgraceful and despicable as you seriously think there mccluskey that the british security services don't have a more credible threat to the british way of life usually it's like venue and jeremy i know dealing with terrorist threats i don't i never said they got time for us i never involved myself in that in this particular smearing jeremy corbyn you do

really don't think there are better things to do these days i've coached and got better things to do but if you seriously believe that the establishment are not interested in a jeremy corporon and the movement that's taken place in the labor party then you're not the man i think you are what a lot of enemies you seem to work or are you are later a piece of work loyal and after they've all been told watson labour's deputy leader you accused him of skullduggery smears and secret plots then there's a right wing press the security services is there a bit of paranoia creeping into this you not because you know not not in the slightest you say that i've acquired many anything conspiracies that everybody it's not a conspiracy you've only got to read the media to know that of course anybody who stands up and fights for working people will be challenge by the right wing me through control the nation's thought process that's precisely what's happened cohen jones labor's leader in wales. referred to labor as

a paranoid political movement more concerned with rooting out traitors unease with the economy security and happiness of our country the booing the hissing the name calling the trolling the threats it has to stop he said it has to stop this is what you've turned this labor movement into but that's our offering hissing name calling filming started or altered nonsense the point you're making is absolutely normal as it answers comes comes from labour's leader and wiles and he makes the point at the time that there were people who were opposed to the challenge against coburn i don't remember calling one coming out defending corba when he was being constantly attacked and stamped in the back i mean this is nonsense what you're talking really about orton nonsense like like like you the accusations of anti semitism in the labor which you dismissed and said were being used by corbin's opponents within labor to undermine his leadership absolute was nonsense to our anger on that is

exactly nonsense i've been a member on like you of the labor party for forty seven years i've never been at a single meeting where there was anti semitism because had that have been not only i but others at the meeting would have reacted and thrown those individuals out that was more mood music being designed to undermine paul but so the board of deputies of british jews got it completely wrong they had no nothing i very no no it's not a question of they know nothing there's a distinction between whether you want to be critical of the israeli government and anti semitism jews for labor didn't get it wrong many many left when jews who were cheaper i got it wrong he did i he got it wrong and i wrote to him seeking a meeting you know a party committee of m.p.'s you know that accused government and you should i know you are led to him this is extremely i don't know whether you've been out of the country for too long to know what's been happening for the last two or three years . in the labor party you know the type of attacks that jeremy corbyn and so i had

to put up with day in day out about attacks on louis zalman or me thought you know . about certainly deserving colleagues under labor's national exact absolutely disgraceful and anybody who was found to be involved in any anti sematic behavior is dealt with by the labor party procedures and condemned out of hand by jeremy kaufman that's why the campaign against anti semitism called labor's inquiry a vague meaningless whitewash the reality is starr the campaign that was launched any opportunity we might come on to issues like venezuela or any little thing that gives people the opportunity to try and undermine corba and paint the labor party as some form of. anti semitic. symmetric. organization is used by these people it's absolutely wrong and they're all jewish

organizations and jewish left comrades in israel who are condemning the type of attacks and vilification of the labor party the labor and i'm going translating them planted now i'm letting her let me say i know you don't let me say this to you people like jeremy corbyn a may have been out on the streets physically fighting the racists and the anti semite so i won't take any lessons whatsoever from the right wing media or right wing labor m.p.'s who have never lifted a finger in their lives to oppose discrimination it's not about bricks it. your labor party has a new policy of bricks unlike the conservative government labor now wants to stay in the single market in the european customs union for a transition period no limit given on how long that would be how is that not a betrayal of the referendum result well i'm not sure about the limit how that how long that would be as far as i'm concerned my union fought in favor of remaining in

europe but the truth of the matter is of course the vote has been taken and britain needs to leave the european union as far as we're concerned it's a question of defending jobs jobs where is right in this new policy how does that then you know policy labor for the election like to work very well i thought cool been presented a position in the last election which spoke for the whole of the nation but the fifty two percent and what he's going back on that because he said only weeks ago he said that under labor government bracks it would mean leaving the single market and i think what that will happen that's a three front bench that is still to return one single name as a policy as ireland standing yes same sort of change because he's holding out the possibility that if there are some james in europe this could be permanent staying in the single market realities first and all it's not it's not it's not a part of the question of staying in the single market with the customs union it's

getting the benefits of a tariff free a single market and the customs union now that's what david davis promised us labor's job at the moment is to hold the government to account because they're in an absolute mess our colleagues over in europe tell us that their information from their governments tell them that nobody knows what britain's looking for or wanting at the moment so what labor has to do. is to try and steady the ship and there isn't going to be another u. turn and we're going to find the brits it is junked and. we're staying in the european union the labor but we've already had one big u. turn from the labor party i don't think there's any chance of that and i don't think we've had a u. turn at all on bracks as we've had a labor party in general mick or been arguing gotten down the length and breadth of the country that he wants to defend jobs people may have voted to be out of europe they didn't feel to be out of their jobs and so what is required now is

a skillful way of trying to negotiate where jobs are protected whilst at the same time dealing with the real concerns about the free movement of labor which undoubtedly had a negative effect in the in the referendum campaign and labor is the only party i've had so far that put forward puts forward policies dealing with both of those issues you mentioned venezuela let's just take a look you've been a staunch supporter of both the late hugo chavez and the current leader nicolas maduro your website says venezuela has one of the most democratic and progressive governments in the world what what's puzzling is the degree to which you have completely ignored the massive human rights violations that have been extensively documented in the country under both leaders why is that well first of all i think what's currently happening in venezuela is a concern for all of us and what we're seeking to do is obviously try to make

certain that the real news the full extent of what's happening in the full picture is on the story we're not giving the full we are if they were given we are able favoring the pro-government we are ramping our own we are in favor of human rights and we've calling pong and we've called upon the venezuelan government and indeed the venezuelan solidarity committee to promote the concept but it is an interesting fact the idea that. suddenly we're supposed to believe the right wing press in the u.k. that the united states for that right wing but talk about human rights so mike so you're quite happy to quote when sober mind you with so one might and that's why we will continue to quote them but what we won't do you won't post on venezuela yes absolutely will yes absolutely we don't see you quoting well if i was looted we will see you quoting on the stands and a will of the un high commissioner for human rights watch or the european

parliament i don't see you working any longer to is jump on the bandwagon that's being whipped up by the hysteria of the right wing totally un high commissioner for human rights does no one on the eight ball are going to stand aborted attempts and we condemn him we condemn any hue where it's fire where did you connect them with the widespread and systematic now widespread and systematic use of excessive force in the next against salman's you know you as in going as with lucifer i'm condemning any form of attacks on human rights now but we might have government by the government security remember sales with god does not appear and we know your whole union is on a whole history of latin america being attacked where is i didn't hear you or anybody else attacking columbia when thousands of trade unionists i don't talk about i mean state we're talking about are you taking them out where the standards

simple we defend human rights really really in vanished way by saying it has got a lot of money i am a cranky and progressive government and it was all it did to want to chavez it relate to of course it was a call to human rights watch it was a shadow as it was characterized by a dramatic concentration of power and open disregard for basic human rights guaranteed it all. speak did it all let me go back there they all did it also not that the advance in literacy. in tackling the extreme poverty was to be commended that it all till now said i visited all generation of human rights protections and given the government free rein to intimidate censor and prosecuted venezuelans who criticize the president and you were absolutely silent on that but what i'm saying to you is what you have to look writes our culture annoys you how your adventures what human rights after a lot of what you have to look at is venezuela before shafiq is what your car for starters you are what you get

a portrait what they actually want you have to look at is the immense poverty the attacks on trade unions the the rip off of ordinary working people before shall face came along what you are trying to present now is that certainly venezuela as fallen apart and there are on doubted problems problems that will be exasperated by what the americans of do with their embargo and what people are attempting to whip up again another example internally in the really can't you or the high can you told one single protesting thing although people are watching what i've just said to you i condemn actions by the venezuelan government and by opposition figures on your website we won't be given lessons by people who have been against working people all across the world for ever and united states we're likely going all i've just said yes so lemme crust is going to start reporting these things that aren't going to deal with what we've always still with which is

the defense of working people and the elimination of the disgraceful poverty and inequality that existed right and still exist right throughout latin america and when the right wing establishment throughout the world led by the us were attacking working people and propping gork dictatorships we would opposing the united states we're not going to take any lessons from them. now but we will only doubtfully condemn the type of issues that have been reported by amnesty international and all the recognized organizations thanks very much for being a complex of. the books
