jeremy corbyn has been misleading or a separate as that's a fabricated story and i'm surely every right thinking person knows that those that see credible thing about this. i'm corbin and i don't speak for corbett i mean i'm not a member of the labor party i'm not i'm not. i'm not a supporter of the labor party. but to call jeremy corbin anti semitic is just absolutely crazy this is a man who actually almost uniquely in british parliament is an anti imperialist who is anti races has been fighting for human rights causes for his whole life and that's why i support him. and that's why i think many people support him because he is so fundamentally different to other labor leaders throughout the post-war period not just conservative leaders he does stand for something different. and the establishment aren't going to take that lying down but they are going to challenge corbin on that they are going to try and ridicule him because they don't like what he might do once in power but why does palestine so such a key issue which they are using to attack jeremy corbett and we will meet say you know he obviously has views about the city of london the power the city of london tax havens all sorts of much mo

jeremy corbett so it's amazing i'm amazed are we talking about a third world country a third world dictatorship to finance an organization in order to tarnish the image of the leader of the opposition who was elected. i'm really shocked to talk about saudi arabia for example i hope there will be a public inquiry about this was that the foreign office should finance spent two million pounds to finance an organization to tarnish the image of the leader i'm shocked where is the democracy of the shadow of results from inquiries as the shuttle transferred john mcdonald i have documents here with loads of names in them and we have tweeted journalists which have been fingered within this document as is my very well who you're not in it as a target but not mccarthyism perhaps and even even watergate wasn't to the tune of two million pounds but i should just say the b.b.c. and the murdoch times already saying not that this is a bad idea which you seem to be saying it is up at the times of the b.b.c. easy to be saying where did they get this information from and it's our sister company of r.t. . sputnik

. >> jeremy corbett, seeming to stay out of the fray, ceiling the pressure of a vote of no confidencem back to the people for a vote. >> jeremy corbin is in a strange position. he's actually a brexiter. his whole desire is to pull down the government. it's a weak government. it is completely divided amongst itself. that's what you're hearing. you have every cabinet minister moving now to maneuver to succeed theresa may who has already promised to step down before the next election. and then you have jeremy corbin who is very popular with the young, but doesn't have enough support to really yet win an election. he should be, but the labor opposition, given the mess in the tory party, should be way ahead, and it isn't. he's being asked to push for a vote of no confidence. the problem is it is unlikely he would win it because the torys don't want a new election. and if there is a new election, he may not win that either. he's stuck. he's saying no to everything to undermine the government, and at the same time i think in his heart of hearts, he knows the timing isn't right for the labor

that's crazy we need a vote before the christmas recess which is next week jeremy corbett said would she guarantee that it would come back to the house of commons by then he did not get that reassurance so people really are wondering whether in fact to resume a strategy if she continues to head the government is to run down the clock until early in twenty nineteen so that there's no time to start picking things apart and present parliament with my deal or a no deal breck sort of prospect of no deal breck's it which which does worry a majority i would say of the members of parliament here so it's hard to know exactly what's going through trees amaze mind right now she says she will contest this vote with all of her strength she's sticking to her guns saying that it doesn't matter that she didn't vote to leave the e.u. she has taken that monday to on board she's listened to all sides and she's gone back to brussels and other european capitals as she keeps saying. pointing out these concerns telling them what needs to happen for that deal to to go through the house of commons but from t
