Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

About time too, I’d love nothing more than him to have the balls to create and lead a socialist political party.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
One would argue that there have been too many attempts to create socialist parties under the UK system. What's needed is both credible people power organisation from the down-up, and genuine leadership from the top-down to meet in the middle (and a desire to not just fight elections within a month of one being called, but to be 'doing the groundwork' from reporting pot holes to assisting benefits claims and onwards etc).

Corbyn surprised me by standing as an independent because I assumed that his loyalty to the labour movement was too strong. Maybe he has now the strength to turn the Peace and Justice party into an electoral movement. Up to him.
 
Novara interview with Corbyn. There's some talk of acting together with the other independents.


further mummerings about Corbyn's leave of non-aligned worlds possibly coming into being.

strange bedfellows. apart from Gaza there's little if anything of a common policy platform between them. but at least the ex-DUP independent isn't invited.
but if gets them debate time in the commons & a little bit of funding why not.
 
this was a week ago but passed me by.

council by-election in one of the wards in Corbyn's constituency.
Labour hold the seat against an independent he'd endorsed.

suggests difficulty in turning the personal popularity into something wider.

Hm, wonder just how loose an alliance can be, in terms of policies, being accountable for what each other do, etc, while still at least achieving some of those kind of logistical benefits.
