Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

How? You're in the party - make an effort to organise and change the structures or put in place structures to defend what you joined the party to support.

You're allowed to try and change things - they might try and make you feel like you're not, but you are.
to be honest, when i first read this, my reaction was hostile, but after re reading it, i think youre right, and if im over for my next local meeting i will try my hardest to attend and do just that, im not even taking the piss , cheers :)

and to you killer b :) , seriously
 
could we , between the lot of us organise something ? i would really like to get involved , again not taking the piss

may i ask , and not trying to be rude or snidey, are you ?
 
Go for it - have to count me out though. I hate labour and corbyn. But you have to do something.
but what realistically is our best hope ? no one seems to want the lib dems or the greens , that justs leave ukip , arent labour the best hope of getting the tories out, which hopefully we agree are the common enemy ?

id vote for anarchy anyway lol, yes i know what i did there :)

Nah, labour is as much the enemy to me as the tories. That doesn't mean i think that you or anyone who joined in the recent burst are enemies in any way. You're comrades - it's just that the path you've chosen to fight on is going and can go nowhere. Whereas tories are never and can never be comrades. Not whilst being tories. But you can be whilst being labour,
 
I can actually see where you're coming from and agree, I just find it all a bit hopeless , in my 45 years on this plane, its the most depressing political landscape I've seen, and thought , imo ,correctly, that the thatcher years were grim :( id hang em all if the revolution comes, but then that also means we all have to get off our arses

It's not really something that can be done online - I think the idea that it can be is one of the reasons this new influx of members to the Labour party have been so ineffective.

FWIW I don't think it's entirely the new members' fault: essentially what's happened is thousands of people with little or no experience of party political activity have joined the party. The avenues that are available for them to organise are not obvious, and the time servers, comfortable in their own positions (and generally to the right of the leadership), generally aren't welcoming them with open arms and showing them the ropes.

Of course, where an energetic left winger has gone out of the way to get them involved with campaigning, it has reaped dividends: a mate of mine stood in a safe tory seat in the recent council elections, worked a proper campaign with a load of new members and came within a hundred votes of taking the seat. They'd got nowhere there previously.
 
I was not saying that! :mad: Do kindly piss off.

It's just that from down here, Corbyn looks as if nothing he can do will change anything re the SNP's popularity up there.

In other words, that report was unsurprising. Exactly as I said.
 
Jeremy likes the Jocks. It's just a matter
of time before the Jocks see that the Snp are just natsy nationalists and tartan tories and come back to Labour with Jeremy.
 
So Corbyn is visiting our work (well, the wind turbine works next door) Thursday with Anna Eagle and Ian Lavery and I've put my name down to attend. Should I pretend to be an outraged Jewish royalist?
 
I've leave that to them, but as an outsider I'm not that confident that the SNP will decline in popularity any time soon.

from my - admittedly limited in number - converstations with ex-Labour and now SNP voters, not all by any stretch of whom are pro-independence, the broad concensus is that Labour will probably recover to some degree, but that it would take a political earthquake along the lines of the entire SNP cabinet being found in bed with a dead 9 year old to break the SNP's political primacy.

maybe half a dozen seats at Westminster in 2020, fuelled far more by a attitude that complete SNP dominance isn't healthy than by any great love of Labour, but in general the view was that while the SNP come across as optomistic, competant, and their candistes being the best people they could find, Labour haven't a hope in hell of recovering even half the Scottish seats they held in 2010-2015

Say the word 'Israel', Jeremy!
