It is refreshing to see someone in power providing a clear and constructive alternative to austerity. Equally it is worrying how the established powers are doing all they can to squash any consideration of an alternative rather than have a democratic debate. It reeks of fear and oppression. Those in support must band together to show the undecided it is a viable option.

Austerity is a lie. It is ideologically driven by the right wing, economic agenda that has run this country since 1979. The attack on the Trades Unions is about rendering in effective opposition to economic liberal policies.

In a world dominated increasingly by international corporations, anyone poor and /or weak politically is threatened. Jeremy Corbin is the first serious political campaigner who seems to understand this and wishes to do something about it. The attacks on him are a sign of the fear that he is waking up people's determination to resist.

Jeremy Corbyn believes in promoting policies for the benefit of the many who have suffered under Tory rule - protection of human rights, promote health and safety and a decent wage for all and decent benefits for those unable to work through disability or circumstance.

Nothing 'extreme' or 'radical' about any of Corbyn's policies. The 'establishment' has moved quickly to attack him at every turn because of the simple fact that he challenges it's autonomy. Ordinary people have nothing to fear.

The British press should report things fairly and allow people to decide for themselves.

Parliament is representing the electorate and needs to move with the times. Corbyn's ideas' time has come. The electorate have voted and the elected need to adjust their objectives and be properly representative.

It has taken Jeremy Corbyns rise to fame to remind everyone thatthe bankers caused this problem, not teachers or nurses, or fire fighters. In the press this week we are told wages are rising by 3%. That is not true for anyone working in the public sector, so most people must in the private sector are getting more than that while in real terms the money we earn every month buys us less and less.

The MPs who oppose Corbyn's policies need to remember that whatever their personal views they are representatives and should reflect the wishes of the great majority of party members and supporters.

Corbyn has a massive democratic mandate to lead the Labour Party. It would be heinous for the party elite to attempt to oust him
