Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

The French did that at Dien Bien Phu with Breton-speakers, which the Yanks (who were listening in to the radio traffic of both sides) apparently thought was "an unknown Asian language".


We tried that with are Scottish replacements the only problem being a southern regiment most people could just about understand them as long as they didnt get excited :rolleyes:
 
he's pointing out the comparisons with the attempts to call corbyn a massive sexist and the embarrasing 'vote for me just because I am a woman' tactic yvette coopers team played
 
And tiresomely cliched already. Even Progress MPs can no longer be arsed to complain about Momentum being the new Militant because they aren't.
Oh no, it has been so long since I was in the Labour Party that I had forgotten about Progress. I used to hate that propaganda group with a deep loathing and now am confronted with its continued existence. This on the same day that Andy Burnham is wittering about keeping Trident makes me wonder if even with Corbyn there is any hope for the Labour Party.

I don't see Corbyn (or any opposition leader) being able to frame a serious debate about Trident above the waffle of domestic political expediency ('we're tough, Corbyn wears sandals'). I doubt if Andy Burnham and many Labour MPs have any strong views about Trident renewal but have decided the issue isn't worth a bucket of spit. If the public want to spunk god knows how many billions on shiny toys to make them feel better than yield to it is the Labour pro-Trident line in private.
 
It isn't working, but they keep repeating it. This time it's Tom Blenkinsop, another non-entity. "Proscribe Momentum", he squeals. Jeez, they really want to turn Labour into a zombie party, don't they? Most parties would give their eye teeth - so to speak - for a membership surge but not this lot. Yet they'd happily welcome a Tory defector into their ranks than take anyone who's vaguely socialist.
Backbench MP Tom Blenkinsop has urged party general secretary Iain McNicol to “proscribe” the organisation because some of its leading figures are former members of groups banned in the 1980s and 1990s.

Mr Blenkinsop, a former Opposition whip until Mr Corbyn took the helm, made his plea as he lambasted Momentum at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) on Monday night.


The Middlesborough South MP argued that the mission of the organisation, which was created to build on Jeremy Corbyn’s landslide victory in the leadership election last year, was to ‘infiltrate’ the party.

Fair point, but on another thread, is "Trident a viable military commitment" worth the left exploring that avenue?
 
It would have been a disgrace if he had been given a knighthood and peerage. But he is just the sort of unscrupulous Blue Labour lackey that usually gets such rewards.

it would be good to see Corbyn stick to this / not get bullied by the f*ckwits....the way a HoC committee "cleared " Straw + Rifkind of their blatant cash 4 questions farce was embrassing, Corbyn doing himself no harm quietly standing up to it / him .
 
This latest absolutely horrific poll which has us more than ten points behind where bloody Miliband was at this stage.

New poll for IndyOnSunday/Sunday Mirror

Con 41% (+1)
Lab 27% (-2)
LD 9% (+2)
UKIP 15% (-1)
Green 3% (NC)
SNP 5% (+1)
Other 1% (NC)

The independent on Sunday also has Corbyn's favourability equal with fucking Gove on -29.

Whose fault will the Corbynistas make it?

A) the media
B) the public
C) those that disagree with Corbyn
D) the pollster
E) all the above

It will not be Corbyn or the Corbynistas. There will be personal abuse rather than honest reflection.

Meanwhile the day when those in the Labour Party are the only ones that vote Labour gets closer. We are fast becoming a party that isn't even a credible party of opposition, let alone a party of government.

I wouldn't worry - your concept of a credible party of opposition that stands for what the Government stands for (pro-war, pro-privatization, pro-PFI, pro-TTIP, pro appearing anti-immigrant, pro-Trident, pro-EU etc) is an absurd notion anyway.

Meanwhile there is, as I've been saying, no check on the Tories. They know we can't win with Corbyn and those that really need a labour government - and I've listed our achievements before - suffer under the Tories.

Hunt can destroy the nhs, because apparently there is no difference.

And the metropolitan elite sleep soundly because they're pure.
 
"Don't worry" they say. And they mean it. They mean that they don't see a difference between the labour government and the coalition.
 
And how's that Corbyn's fault? It was your mates who lost the election, meaning that the tories can do what they fucking want.
No, I shut up because of the demands for unity from the left backing miliband. And I shouldn't have.

Now the Tories have no credible opposition they're not worried about being unpopular. Heavens, they're falling apart, on the verge of a split, and Corbyn has them stretching their lead.

And you don't think it has anything to do with Corbyn?

Exactly as I said "it won't be Corbyn's fault".

no party with you as a member can claim to be credible

perhaps you should shut up on the basis that you'te a right wing shit with the political nous of sir jimmy savile's gravestone

Labour weren't a credible opposition before Corbyn - even worse they were going along with a lot of the tory policies.

Tories had decided they were going to privatize the nhs before even they won the election against *your* labour.

At least with Corbyn there's someone objecting to creeping privatization - your lot have joined in enthusiastically. Very little difference in *your* labour or conservatives as far as privatizing goes.

Well no, tories destroying the nhs isn't Corbyn's fault. You're a liar if you say it is.

What "check on the Tories" are you proposing, though? Mandleson getting that EU Commissioner job instead of Patten?

(I don't really no why I'm bothering but) what the fuck. Are you living in a parallel universe? Over the last few weeks we've had a number of supposedly Eurosceptic ministers fall back and either support in IN campaign or say that they basically intend to stand aside of the campaign.

The idea that they are on the verge of a split is mad, who are these possible splitters?
