Sir Tony Robinson brands Jeremy Corbyn 'complete s**t' as he quits Labour party after 45 years
As one of Labour’s old celebrity members, Sir Tony announced on Twitter yesterday afternoon: “I’ve left the Labour Party after nearly 45 years of service at Branch, Constituency and NEC levels, partly because of it’s continued duplicity on Brexit, partly because of it’s antisemitism, but also because its leadership is complete s***”.
Figures revealed Mr Corbyn’s local election showing as party boss since 2015 made him the worst performing leader of the Opposition in 40 years.In comparison, predecessor Ed Miliband had delivered 2,295 extra councillors during his first four years at Labour’s helm.Some Labour MPs blamed the ballot box failing on the party’s confusing line on promising to deliver Brexit while holding up the prospect of a second referendum at the same time.
Pro-EU Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw dubbed the poll the “first electoral test of our policy of constructive ambiguity”, adding: “It showed that when you cower in the middle of the road on the biggest existential crisis facing Britain for generations you get squashed”. But other bitterly critical Labour MPs called out Mr Corbyn personally, claiming he had been a liability while campaigning.Mr Coyle said: “Brexit was second. Anyone who still doubts it needs to get off the keyboard and get on some doorsteps”.
Birmingham MP Jess Phillips called for Labour to firmly commit to holding a second referendum to confirm any Brexit deal, saying: “Voters want to see courage in leadership”.
