Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[rutabowa]

Unite Community Leeds Office is now saying you can join as a worker, but can't get advice on work issues, very confusing.

I don't think it's very confusing; not this particular bit anyway!

I voted for Corbyn. I don't think he has covered himself in glory over the past few months and was virtually absent on the eu debate. This has possibly cost a lot of remain votes. His time is up. He should go. Give the party time to elect a leader and sort themselves out before the next election.

I sit with despair and am not sure really. The party have not covered themselves in glory, what with all the fighting
back stabbing Etc. I really wish that all had not happened. The should be as strong as they have ever been right not,
ready to hit the tories hard and win the next election. Right now this is not very likly. However, I have a possibly misguided
admiration for Corbyn, the way he has taken it on the chin as opposed to rolling over and quitting. So fair play to him on that one. BUT, if he really was the right man for the job, none of this fighting would have happened.
Mixed blessings.

tbh he is the righter man for the job than any of the lightweight magenta scum trying to bump him out. indeed you can see he is the right man for the job given the immense efforts the right wing shits are putting into trying to defenstrate him.

Unite Community website is struggling...

Too many people trying to join or a DDoS attack organised by some shady Blairite new media agency?

It's a funny old world in which you have to at least half-seriously entertain the latter possibility

Probaby too many people trying to join. FB is full of folk telling everyone to join unite (or Hebden Bridge trades club) to get a vote.

If you want to do that hebden bridge thing you better get moving as you need to post a form to them.

 

[DotCommunist]

thats so hebden bridge

Wouldn't a DDos attack organized by a shady Blairite new media agency consist of bulky package after bulky package of 3.5" discs being delivered through the Royal Mail?

Owen Smith in "media-pleasing, egotistic, cripple-bashing shitcunt" non-shocker.

many people saying phone line not being answered, I suspect its going to show UC is somewhat under-resourced.

Ukip vote is interesting (but that's another thread).

Tbf, I think he has been on a 'journey' and his position on the WCA has hardened.

How many new member services staff do you think UC should keep/would need to keep on the payroll to cope with these sorts of events?

 

[treelover]

Corbs doing well on Labours last PMQ's.

no-one except the NEC members and their backers could have forseen what would happen nor the speed or determination of it happening. And they just expose how moribund their thinking is.

 

[Whagwan]

I think that article is nonsense and you have to be a labour party member to join that internal group - same for BAME LAbour.

Not so sure, if you go to the affiliated supporter sign up page on the Labour website it lists the above organisations (and many others) just after the unions with no mention of having to be Labour member as well.

Never realised there was a "Chinese for Labour" group, good to know I can be more specific than BAME Labour.

treelover never misses a chance to put in a dig against the left

Into the fucking sea with him, then.

Crazy stuff then - i have been having a dig around affiliated groups and the thing is just so unclear. The labour rules basically say here's some loose guidelines that are subject to random unchallengable NEC changes.

jsut a off the top reaction but isnt that UKIP down and LAB up? Ukip voter back to Labour?

theres some much worse polls for LAB gone up on Polling Report recently

Nope.
The entire national structure uses the same call centre, so what's happening is that phone calls to all parts of Unite are suffering,not just UC.

 

[Sprocket.]

The Unite website is easily overwhelmed and from my own experience it can take a while to be rectified.
My log-in took many phone calls, resets and about a month to settle down.

 

[belboid]

curses, exposed!

 

[DotCommunist]

unnasailable ten point lead if it wasn't for the octocunts. Toynbee wankers

 

[treelover]

When all this is over the new shadow cabinet and leader should really try and nail the big lie the Tories push they they are a party of compassion, they aren't.

showing your true colours now: who is the new leader you want to see?

however BAME labour isn't taking new registrations at moment! (my partner just tried)

 

[Whagwan]

The website was buggered this morning, I couldn't even log into my members account as it kept coming up with "incorrect password."
I knew it was correct anyway as logged in yesterday, and it worked in the end.
