Like you, I abhor intimidation and bullying.
Especially so when 'mr' Cameron treats you like his Eton fag Jeremy. There are times when one should bite back and Eton fags have subtle ways of doing this.

Tom, I can't imagine what you are thinking, voting as you did for mission creep into Syria. I hope you feel good about yourself, were you as 'pumped up', to use a tory phrase, as michael hammond was this morning on the radio??? Testosterone fuelled macho posturing as real people suffer from our 'precision' bombing. 'No animals were harmed in the production of this email' btw.

Now is the time to hold this government to account for all the nasty things it has done, and proposes to do, in the future. Jeremy, YOU are the man to do this!!! Bite their ankles, worry their supercilious assumptions and comfortable complacency and superiority.

Stay with it Jeremy!!!! But realise that you are the one being bullied and intimidated by the bullington boys and the squalid media.

Yours sincerely,
chris leadbeater

Dear chris,

Last night MPs voted in Parliament on the issue of airstrikes in Syria. It has inevitably led to a big debate.

Labour MPs voted by a clear majority against the airstrikes in the end. But we agreed a free vote because of the sincerely-held differing views in the parliamentary Labour Party.

We will now hold the Government to account over its actions in Syria in the interests of Britain's national security.

And the British people also need our united action in support of social justice more than ever.

In the coming days our duty is to redouble our efforts to achieve a fairer Britain.

In the past few weeks, Labour has successfully pushed the Government to change tack on tax-credits, police cuts and the Saudi prison deal.

Yet despite that, Cameron and Osborne are still cutting billions. Osborne has not reversed his welfare cuts: he's delayed them, and over two million families will still be on average £1600 worse off.

The Conservatives have no answer to the challenge of climate change.

They are failing to build the homes our country needs and causing immense harm to our NHS.

This is the slowest recovery in living memory, yet the Tories have failed to recognise the fact that our economy is facing severe challenges.

Their failure to plan the infrastructure we need is a threat to future prosperity and their claim to have overseen a Northern powerhouse is a sham.

The Conservatives cannot be let off the hook. Britain needs Labour now more than ever.

When the Prime Minister described opponents of military action in Syria as terrorist sympathisers he demeaned his office and undermined his own case.

That is why, as leader and deputy leader, our guiding principle is that Labour must never make Cameron's mistake.

Politics must be conducted in a better way - more civil and more respectful.

We all support and defend the democratic right to protest and lobby. And all MPs must be open to hearing the views of their constituents and others on matters of public importance.

But, as we have both said many times, abuse and intimidation have no place in politics. And the party as a whole will not accept such behaviour, from whatever quarter it comes.

Yours sincerely,

Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson
