A TRAIN driver who resigned as a Labour councillor in protest at the party’s implementation of Tory cuts at the local level said yesterday that careerist MPs who undermine new party leader Jeremy Corbyn should be deselected.

Addressing Aslef’s annual conference in Aviemore Gary Wareing from Hull said: “The Labour Party was built from the bottom up by the trade unions to defend the working class.

“The Establishment are terrified that Jeremy Corbyn will form the next government of this country. That’s why their friends in the media are calling for a coup against Corbyn.

“This is a struggle between the working class and capitalism and we have to defend Jeremy Corbyn. Those careerist MPs who are trying to undermine Jeremy should face deselection by their branches.”

Mr Wareing said Labour MPs should face mandatory reselection contests “because it cannot be right for MPs to ignore the wishes of party members, because we want to elect a Jeremy Corbyn government to change society.”
