Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

Corbyn's team issues list of MPs who 'undermined leader'

So, leaked accidently on purpose?

Corbyn's team issues list of MPs who 'undermined leader'

So, leaked accidently on purpose?

I would like to think it was leaked in the hope that someone would get to see peak Guardian. It is quite impressive that the Guardian can report the fact that a load of Labour MPs have been writing articles critical of the current leadership in the Guardian, after all.

 

[Whagwan]

I love the fact that Bradshaw has complained to the NEC despite making libellous statements about Corbyn, Momentum and threats.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

Why?

Because no party can win an election with the votes of just one social class. Labour can’t even expect support from working class voters any more.

How do you think we can best avoid having a tory government for the next ten or twenty years? Winning over more voters than the tories is the only way, there’s no alternative.

I’d love to see a Corbyn government and I’ll be voting Labour in 2020, but it clearly isn’t going to happen.

Maybe an anti-Corbyn type leaked it to distract (other ) MPs away from Corbyn making May look an idiot over grammar schools in PMQ's on Weds.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

What, and actually have to think for himself? You bastard!

I see, so now anyone who thinks that Labour is unelectable under Corbyn is 'incapable of thinking for themselves' and must be 'being fed messages' from some mysterious unknown source are they?

Are you sure it’s not Nino who’s ‘on message’? I heard SWP members using those exact same phrases during the referendum campaign.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

Whereas you want a Labour government that will erode public services

I want a government that won't erode our rights and public services at all, but realistically, a Labour government not eroding them half as much as the tories is the best we're going to get.

 

[William of Walworth]

Worked out brilliantly letting the Blairites in last time didn't it? The country is more or less as it would have been after 30 continuous years of Tory government. Indeed better to have an opposition that believes in the same thing as I do, than have a government AND opposition totally opposed to everything socialist, decent, and progressive.

Where does your soft left get you in the end? Exactly where Thatcher wanted - just in 2030 rather than 2020. Great!

I completely agree with this.

I still worry about electoral propects for Corbyn/Labour at the moment though

Not that I'm in any way living in Hertfordshire on this mind you

You no more want to government that will defend public services than Toynbee is a socialist. You've argued for a mash up of Labour with the libdems, the party that spent five years in power attacking public services.

 

[SpackleFrog]

Because no party can win an election with the votes of just one social class.

U r shit at sums m8

My god. Have the police been informed?

It's not "anyone who thinks that Labour is unelectable..." that is incapable, just you.

Yeh bet you hung round with the swappies, you've always struck me as a wrong un

I'm sure they have as I'm of the opinion Hertford is a nark

Today...

They're on a mission at the moment aren't they

 

[NoXion]

Why would Corbyn be in possession of his own Stasi file? WTF?!

 

[elbows]

I cant deny being amused by his response.

The Labour leader has now upped the ante, releasing a video message to supporters accusing newspapers of reporting "increasingly wild and entirely false" claims made by Mr Sarkocy.

"In the last few days, The Sun, The Mail, The Telegraph and The Express have all gone a little bit James Bond.

"It's easy to laugh, but something more serious is happening," he said.

"Publishing these ridiculous smears that have been refuted by Czech officials shows just how worried the media bosses are by the prospect of a Labour government.

"They're right to be. Labour will stand up to the powerful and corrupt - and take the side of the many, not the few."

Mr Corbyn said the right-wing press had become less powerful in the era of social media and "their bad habits were becoming less and less relevant".

"A free press is essential for democracy and we don't want to close it down, we want to open it up. At the moment, much of our press isn't very free at all.

"In fact it's controlled by billionaire tax exiles, who are determined to dodge paying their fair share for our vital public services.

"Instead of learning these lessons they're continuing to resort to lies and smears. Their readers - you, all of us - deserve so much better. Well, we've got news for them: change is coming."

The BBC understands the phrase "change is coming" refers to Labour's plans to go ahead with a second stage of the Leveson inquiry into press ethics as well a review of media ownership and plurality.

Corbyn attacks press over spy 'smears'

Genuinely thought the Evening Standard one was a photoshop.

We only have his word for it that he's not actually Stalin's ghost in a charity shop sweater.

More grief if it’s from Oxfam.

Ben Bradley up to his neck in legal shit
Corbyn Demands Damages From Tory MP Over Spy Slur

 

[butchersapron]

Why would Corbyn be in possession of his own Stasi file? WTF?!

He may have requested it. Now a legal right.

 

[butchersapron]

Of course, that might just apply to citizens.

 

[not-bono-ever]

New blow to spy smears as German authorities reveal there isn’t a Stasi file on Jeremy Corbyn

no stasi file on Corbyn. then again the Stasi were not Czech

I know this is all politrickery , but do these fuckers have anything better to do than dredge up vague shite from decades ago ? is there nothing else they could be getting on with ?

 

[teqniq]

It reeks of desperation imo. Also anyone harbouring notions of a truly free, independent and unbiased media needs to have a word with themselves.
