THE Machiavellian Establishment plot to unseat Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader has taken a curious twist in recent days. Andrew Parker, head of British domestic spying agency MI5, has "invited" Corbyn to a "briefing" on "security issues."

It is said he is going to acquaint Corbyn with "the facts of life" about jihadist terrorism and the activities of Russian spies.

The surprise invitation comes after Parker and his fellow spooks had previously refused to "brief" Corbyn on "security issues," in a blatant exhibition of MI5's political bias.

Parker’s sudden change of tack is clearly part of the ruling class plot to pressure, bully, and intimidate Corbyn into falling into line.

Meanwhile, the right wing of the Parliamentary Labour Party, aided and abetted by the capitalist press and media, continues its hysterical campaign over alleged "anti-semitism" in the Labour Party.

The total absence of support for these conspirators and plotters inside Labour’s 600,000 strong membership is shown by the Labour National Executive Council election results which saw all nine Corbyn-supporting candidates elected to the NEC.

The "anti-semitism" hot air balloon is a complete invention of the ruling class.

It is a smokescreen for a plot to unseat Corbyn as leader.
