Jeremy Corbyn to sack shadow cabinet ministers who disagree with his anti-war policies

Jeremy Corbyn’s close associates are secretly planning to purge the shadow cabinet of moderate MPs who disagree with his radical, anti-war policies, as he seeks to impose his will on the Labour Party.

In the aftermath of the Commons vote on bombing Syria last week, allies of the Labour leader warned that he would reshuffle his senior team to remove his enemies from positions of power.

I think it's high time to admit that this demokratic malarkey experiment totally failed, it's time for direct action - Her Majesty should put ALL MPs into jail until the mess they've created is sorted.

No they just need to change labour party voting rules so you can't vote for the leader unless you have been a member for a year.

Commercial organisations do that and it works fine.

Even if it turns out to be true, the language in the story is ridiculously emotive. If Hamface decided to remove some Cabinet colleagues who disagreed with his policies, would they be described as "his enemies"? Would the reshuffle be described as a "purge"?

But the Torygraph just loves hamming it up as it continues its decline into an inferior replica of the Mail

What time is it customary to arrest political enemies for crimes against the People: 4:30am? 5am???

If Corbyn purges all his political enemies from the top jobs, there wont be enough left to form a shadow bedside cupboard, never mind a cabinet.
Maybe he will outsource it to the SWP

Aren't the SWP a bit too far to the right for Comrade Corbyn ?
