BREAKING: JEREMY CORBYN, BRITISH LABOUR PARTY LEADER, ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION AFTER ‘FINAL STRAW’ SCANDAL EMERGES OUTLINING HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH ENEMY SPIES DURING THE COLD WAR

Mr Jeremy Corbyn was seen to shed a yesterday. Thursday began as an ordinary day for the Labour Party leader, Mr Corbyn. However, this was not to last. Inevitably, the light was finally shone upon what was likely to be Mr Corbyn’s deepest secret. 21 years after the end of the Cold War, it appears that Mr Corbyn was known to have briefed a communist spy from Czechoslovakia during the period in which the world faced a nuclear Armageddon.

The Secretary of State for Defence, Gavin Williamson CBE MP, spoke at a NATO meeting in Brussels, and is quoted as saying it is proof that the Labour leader cannot be trusted: “Jeremy Corbyn has never had Britain’s interests at heart. Time and time again he has sided with those who want to destroy everything that is great about this country, whether it is sympathising with terrorists, backing rogue regimes, or cosying up to those who want to inflict pain and misery on
the British people. That he met foreign spies is a betrayal of this country. He cannot be trusted.”

After secrets of his briefing Soviet-backed spies during the period of global nuclear tensions being revealed, it came as no surprise that he met with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II today to resign as Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition. Critics say that the resignation was long overdue – he has dragged with him public scandal after public scandal and has had his party endure countless occasions of leadership turmoil.

Senior Labour Party officials, wishing to remain anonymous, commented that they felt as if Mr Corbyn had “held the Party back” and “changed what the Party was standing for”. They were disappointed with the leadership provided by Mr Corbyn. Mr Corbyn is a notable terrorist sympathiser and he has previously even gone to the lengths of inviting convicted IRA terrorists to the Palace of Westminster. Labour Party members don’t feel as if Corbyn’s leadership “has been advantageous to the Party” and now, knowing what we know about his history, “it would be irresponsibly unsafe for the British population if he was to continue in office”. Corbyn has, in the past, faced Motions of No Confidence in him by his Party. These votes were successful but Corbyn, at the time, refused to resign – he isn’t in fact bound by these votes and does not have to act upon the result. However, most party leaders would have stood down after losing the backing of their colleagues.

It is safe to say that Mr Corbyn’s resignation is overdue. Perhaps his successor will have some luck in uniting the torn Party left behind after being suddenly ditched by their leader. The Party are, without a doubt, going to come under close scrutiny over the coming days, weeks and months and inquires and inquests are surely to be carried out internally and externally. The police are bound to investigate Mr Corbyn more broadly now that he has moved out of the public eye and we might even witness treason laws coming into force?
