Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour leadership contest** Συγχαρητήρια μηνύματα ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και ΛΑΕ για την εκλογή Κόρμπιν

Συγχαρητήρια μηνύματα έστειλαν ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και Λαϊκή Ενότητα στον Τζέρεμι Κόρμπιν για την εκλογή του στην ηγεσία του Εργατικού Κόμματος Βρετανίας.

“Ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ χαιρετίζει τη σημερινή ιστορική εκλογή του Τζέρεμι Κόρμπιν στην ηγεσία του Εργατικού Κόμματος Βρετανίας από τον πρώτο γύρο των ψηφοφοριών”, αναφέρει το μήνυμα του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και συνεχίζει:


“Όλα τα προηγούμενα χρόνια, ο Τζέρεμι Κόρμπιν ανέπτυξε πλούσια δράση, ως βουλευτής των Εργατικών, ενάντια στον πόλεμο, το ρατσισμό και τη λιτότητα, ενώ πήρε μέρος σε πολύμορφες πρωτοβουλίες αλληλεγγύης στην Ελλάδα, συμπαραστεκόμενος και στον προεκλογικό αγώνα του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ το 2012.
Η εκλογή του Κόρμπιν στην ηγεσία των Εργατικών, μέσα από την ενεργοποίηση χιλιάδων νέων μελών και την προσήλωσή του στην ανάγκη ανάσχεσης της νεοφιλελεύθερης πολιτικής, ενισχύει σημαντικά το πανευρωπαϊκό μέτωπο ενάντια στη λιτότητα και στέλνει μήνυμα ελπίδας στους ευρωπαϊκούς λαούς”.

Σε ανάλογο ύφος ήταν το μήνυμα του Παναγιώτη Λαφαζάνη:

"Αγαπητέ Τζέρεμι Κόρμπιν,
Θέλω να σε συγχαρώ για την νίκη σου. Οι άνθρωποι που σε ψήφισαν εξέφρασαν την επιθυμία τους για μια αλλαγή στην πολιτική του Εργατικού Κόμματος, μια νέα πορεία ενάντια στον νεοφιλελευθερισμό, την λιτότητα, τον πόλεμο και την εξαθλίωση. Μια παρόμοια επιθυμία εκφράστηκε και στο ΟΧΙ του ελληνικού λαού στο δημοψήφισμα. Εύχομαι και ελπίζω ότι θα ανταποκριθείς σε αυτή τη μεγάλη πρόκληση. Τόσο εγώ όσο και η Λαϊκή Ενότητα ελπίζουμε ότι θα μπορέσουμε να συναντηθούμε σε κοινούς αγώνες για δικαιοσύνη, χειραφέτηση και ριζοσπαστική αλλαγή στην Ευρώπη”.

Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour leadership contest

Jeremy Corbyn has promised to lead a Labour "fight back" after being elected the party's new leader by a landslide.
The veteran left winger got almost 60% of more than 400,000 votes cast, trouncing his rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall.
He immediately faced an exodus of shadow cabinet members - but senior figures including Ed Miliband urged the party's MPs to get behind him.
Mr Corbyn was a 200-1 outsider when the three month contest began.

But he was swept to victory on a wave of enthusiasm for his anti-austerity message and promise to scrap Britain's nuclear weapons and renationalise the railways and major utilities.
He told BBC News he had been a "bit surprised" by the scale of his support but his campaign had showed "politics can change and we have changed it".
He will now select his shadow cabinet - but without a string of existing members including Ms Cooper, Tristram Hunt and Rachel Reeves - who have all ruled themselves out.
He has also hinted that he wants to change the format of Prime Minister's Questions - he faces David Cameron across the despatch box for the first time on Wednesday - suggesting other Labour MPs might get a turn.
The Islington North MP won on the first round of voting in the leadership contest, taking 251,417 of the 422,664 votes cast - against 19% for Mr Burnham, 17% for Ms Cooper and 4.5% for Ms Kendall. Former minister and Gordon Brown ally Tom Watson was elected deputy leader.
Corbyn supporters chanted "Jez we did" as he took to the stage, putting on his glasses to deliver his acceptance speech.
The leftwinger, who has spent his entire 32 year career in the Commons on the backbenches, promised to fight for a more tolerant and inclusive Britain - and to tackle "grotesque levels of inequality in our society".
He said the leadership campaign "showed our party and our movement, passionate, democratic, diverse, united and absolutely determined in our quest for a decent and better society that is possible for all".
"They are fed up with the inequality, the injustice, the unnecessary poverty. All those issues have brought people in, in a spirit of hope and optimism."
He said his campaign had given the lie to claims that young Britons were apathetic about politics, showing instead that they were "a very political generation that were turned off by the way in which politics was being conducted - we have to, and must, change that".
Mr Corbyn added: "The fightback now of our party gathers speed and gathers pace."
His first act as leader was to attend a "Refugees Welcome Here" rally, and he told supporters his first day at the helm of his party in Parliament would be spent opposing government plans to "shackle" trade unions by imposing higher thresholds for strike ballots.

Analysis by BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg

There are problems everywhere for Labour's new leader. He has always been an outsider, an insurgent in his own party.
How can he expect loyalty from his colleagues, unite the party, when he has rarely displayed it himself? MPs have been discussing ousting him for weeks. There will likely be initial faint support from most. Don't expect a rapid coup.
But don't doubt most smiles behind him at the despatch box will be through gritted teeth. And shadow ministers' resignation letters have already been written.


An overwhelming 85% of people who signed up as affiliated supporters for £3 voted for Mr Corbyn - but he also topped the ballot among party members and trade unionists.
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said this broad support gave Mr Corbyn a strong mandate and would silence those on the right of the Labour Party who had been plotting to get rid of Mr Corbyn at the earliest opportunity, as he had "totally obliterated" his opponents.
Mr Corbyn's predecessor as Labour leader Ed Miliband gave his "full support" to Mr Corbyn and said he expected him to "reach out to all parts of our party" but ruled out a return to the front bench himself
Shadow health minister Jamie Reed, who has been an outspoken critic of Mr Corbyn, announced his resignation from the Labour frontbench within seconds of his victory. Shadow work and pensions spokesman Rachel Reeves has also resigned. Shadow education spokesman Tristram Hunt also said he would not serve in a Corbyn shadow cabinet.
Former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott urged others thinking of resigning to think again, saying the party had "overwhelmingly endorsed" Mr Corbyn, who he said had got more votes than Tony Blair when he won the leadership in 1994.
"The party has spoken with a very strong voice. Get out and fight the Tories," Lord Prescott told BBC News.

'Divided party'

Len McCluskey, general secretary of the UK's biggest union Unite, congratulated Mr Corbyn and Mr Watson, saying: "Voters can now look at Labour and see, unquestionably, that it stands for fairness, justice, peace and strong communities. It is the party of hope, ready to take on a Government hell-bent on making life worse for ordinary people."
SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon congratulated Mr Corbyn and offered to work with him to oppose the renewal of Trident nuclear weapons and against "Tory austerity".
But she added: "The reality today is that at a time when the country needs strong opposition to the Tories, Jeremy Corbyn leads a deeply, and very bitterly, divided party.
"Indeed, if Labour cannot quickly demonstrate that they have a credible chance of winning the next UK general election, many more people in Scotland are likely to conclude that independence is the only alternative to continued Tory government."
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, giving the Conservative Party's reaction, said: "Labour are now a serious risk to our nation's security, our economy's security and your family's security.
"Whether it's weakening our defences, raising taxes on jobs and earnings, racking up more debt and welfare or driving up the cost of living by printing money - Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party will hurt working people."
