Angela Eagle MP’s open letter for her original deputy leadership bid

It was as follows. Worth reading carefully.

 

 

 

Dear Labour Party Member,

I said today that the political elite need to lay off Jeremy Corbyn.

I would happily serve under anyone the members choose to be our leader. Why? Because I respect the wisdom of our members, supporters and affiliates and our Party’s process of electing a new leadership team. Every candidate has the right to be heard and put forward a vision for Labour’s future and, whether you agree with Jeremy Corbyn or not, he is in the race and is entitled to participate.

So the talk of coups, remarks about not serving in Shadow Cabinets and former Prime Minister’s telling people to get ‘heart transplants’ need to stop now.

When I launched my Deputy Leadership campaign I said that I want to unite the Labour Party and focus our efforts on defeating the real enemy – the Tories.

I am a proud trade unionist but I’ve never been in any faction and I’ve always been loyal. I’ve never been afraid to speak out when we got it wrong either, like I did over Foundation Hospitals or University Tuition Fees and that is why I am speaking out now because the public attacks are only helping our political enemies.

Let’s debate but let us do it with respect. If I am elected Deputy Leader, there will be a place for all views and opinions in the Labour Party. I’ll make sure of that by uniting us and preparing us for the battles ahead.

I hope you will join my campaign and together we can build a movement that we can all be proud of.

Best wishes,
Angela.
Angela Eagle MP
Labour Deputy Leader Candidate
