Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

Cunxit

Cunxit

Not quimmy

 

[DaveCinzano]

Sure he could have gone to Pride - but perhaps there is something else going on that he should have got involved in?

THE CHINOOK! SHOULD'VE GONE WITH THE CHINOOK IDEA!

Has Chuka's mystery closet of skeletons been dealt with yet?

 

[Tankus]

McDonnel has momentum through the rear door ......?

Christ ...rather stick with Corbyn

Tbh it's more of a cellar floor of skeletons

 

[Lord Camomile]

He isn't in the cabinet.

Should never miss an opportunity to tell him to piss off though.

The only Scottish Labour MP. The only one. Is resigning as Shadow Scottish Secretary. This means that as well as being 3rd place at Holyrood, they'll be forced to use either a peer or an MP for an English constituency as Shadow Scot Sec just at the moment the party in Scotland looks like it's split over independence (several big names making favourable noises or at least acknowledging that a lot of theLabour No vote has fled to Yes over the EU result).

Jezza doing such a great job

'Leaked internal Labour party polling of people who voted for Labour in 2015 reveals that nearly a third (29%) would support a different party if a general election was held today.' (guardian)

Are you aware that swathes of voting intention polls come out every month? Labour aren't doing too bad in them - better than they actually did in the actual 2015 general election. If it is a fact that 29% of Labour voters have jumped ship then evidently they've already been replaced by non-Labour voters who would now vote Labour if a general election was held tomorrow. That's literally what the voting intention polls are telling us.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Not sure how true this is, but;

"David Milliband to be given Jo Cox's vacant seat so he can stand against Corbyn... how low will the Blaireites stoop?"

Well it's not like there is anything Labour can really do to strengthen support in Scotland at this point. It's just gone, regardless of what does or doesn't happen within Labour

Who are you quoting

 

[magneze]

On the Guardian front page. "Hilary Benn sacked and others resign".

Others? Post truth eh?

It couldn't come at a worse time for Labour Unionism: if the indyref2 No campaign is by default a Tory affair, then Yes is in a far stronger position: a Tory /non-Tory polarisation of the Indy question is exactly what Yes needs.

Maybe they could rally round an elder statesman of the moral calibre and punching power of, I don't know... Jack Straw?

They could call it.....er....New something?

Surely only if the locals select him as a candidate, but TBH I would not be shocked by such serpentile behaviour these days.

Left overs

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Who are you quoting

A tweet. Nothing elsewhere to authenticate this thou

 

[Louis MacNeice]

I didn't say he should hide away - quite the opposite.

Sure he could have gone to Pride - but perhaps there is something else going on that he should have got involved in?

So he should have gone to Pride, where the set up was planned to take place. That being the case the press, sympathetic as they are to Corbyn, would have reported it. Meanwhile his speech on the need to protect workers rights, oppose the threatened continuation of austerity and expose the dangerous lies of the rexiteers goes unreported. Do you think that might have happened?

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

Not sure Pride was the best use of his time yesterday tbh - and don't bother claiming he would have been labelled a homophobe for articulating Labour's vision of a Brexit and urging a general election instead.

What are you on about? Really this makes no sense.

Does anybody really listen to what the polls have to say these days ? Is there ever a time when they actually got something right?

 

[Knotted]

This is the Labour right enacting their plan in a panic. Reminds me of the outbreak of world war one with the generals enacting their plans. If the plan says half the shadow cabinet are to resign then half the shadow cabinet resign, if the plan says invade Belgium, then we invade Belgium. They have no extra leverage on Corbyn after the referendum, less if anything. How are they going to lead the opposition while the government negotiates the British exit from the EU? Oppose the government and the will of the people all the way? Possibility of a snap election has forced their hand.

 

[redsquirrel]

So, so far we have

Hilary Benn - Shadow Foreign Secretary (nominated Burnham in 2015)
Heidi Alexander - Shadow Health Secretary (nominated Burnham in 2015)
Gloria De Piero - Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration (nominated Kendell in 2015)

Possibles
Lillian Greenwood - Shadow Transport Secretary (nominated Burnham in 2015)

But interestingly Mrs Sprocket just pointed out that Davey boy would also be viewed as having an excellent work history with a certain Mrs Clinton!

Interesting times.
