Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Vintage Paw]

What is the definition of a meeting in this context? Does it count if it's over Skype or something? Could that be a cheeky way round the ban of meetings, even if the purpose is just to piss off the PLP?

Absolutely nothing to stop members meeting up for a chat or a pint or whatever. Just can't conduct any official party business.

 

[Wilf]

Yeah, can they do confidence / no confidence votes by email?

Deselection by flashmob.

 

[Pickman's model]

Thin stuff, the sanguinary version of invisible ink. As the son of a Lord he's a cunt, but definitely negative.

Deselection by mob.

'To vote to keep Angela, dial 0800....'

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Deselection by flashmob.

If only.

Having said that, networked social movement stuff, alongside attempts to loosen capital's hold on the Labour party a bit ...

Jeremy faces another bushtucker trial.

 

[inva]

Yep. That's where I'm at, almost.

it;s why I like the IWCA's view of the need to orient your politics towards the working class instead of to the left. the left is nowhere and the labour party is a dead end, but the working class is still adapting, learning, fighting. if it really wants to be relevant the left has to see it and learn too.

Keep me off the ballot would you? This is going right up you mate.

My mother, a tory voter (without a mean bone in her body I should add) is hopping mad about the PLP and NEC's shenanigans and has been asking me how she can join Unite to vote for him

You could help her with that

Has she got a science O Level?

I've told her how to do it if she wants to. I fear that since she's the least deceptive and most genuinely honest and guilt-ridden person in existence that once she sees the bit that says "you must believe in labour party values" she won't go through with it

C4 news now Johanna Baxter pretty much in tears because "Jeremy" voted against secret ballots.

She doesn't get the being an accountable representative thing at all...which is odd for a trade unionist.

So Baxter managed to cry on both Radio 4 and Channel 4. I shouldn't have doubted myself, this is performative.

For LibDem members it's like ancient Australian Aboriginal counting; 1, 2, 3, 4, many.

Watch it, mate.

tbf she'd also received some emails, read some unsupportive posts on social media and been lobbied. Beasts.

Slightly sarcastic smiley deployment can be very upsetting.

 

[Wilf]

Politics can be a nasty business, but fucking hell, the nerve of her - attacking Corbyn for voting to stop her keeping her votes secret from the people who put her there!

[apologies in advance for the ]

 

[YouSir]

Of the three posts there one is definitely out of order - the one which comes from a nutjob who mentions 'FemiNazis' in their profile - while the others are lukewarm criticism. Is this the level of bullying she's complaining about? Really? Was open to taking it seriously, but Jesus.

 

[chilango]

If political opponents had threatened me to the point that I was repeatedly physically shaking at the thought of it, and that I felt I needed to resort to secret ballots to protect me then the last thing I'd do is appear on a series of national news bulletins broadcasting how badly these threats had hit me.

I guess Baxter is just braver than me.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Some folk just need to get the fuck off social media.

Comments on Baxter's Twitter are clear that the nasty one is a member of BNP, who aren't known for supporting Corbs.

Pfft, so they say, but let's face it Nick Griffin is just Corbyn with a bottle of hair dye and after a bottle of vodka.

Interestingly, the above, which was on the Labour site last night takes you to a further link, onto Membership prices only. Tried several links in and around the Party site and there's no mention of the £25 thing (or the £3 thing for that matter). Suggests they haven't got much confidence in last night's decision - 24 hours into the mere 48 hours people were given to register within.

The prices quoted there are per month. If you multiply them by 12 you arrive back at over £25 per year. And that is for those who can claim the reduced memberships.

I can't take it any more.

Argh !

Nah, they are membership prices, which if you joined now wouldn't allow you to vote anyway. I meant the 'pay £25 in the next 48 hours' to become a registered supporter and get a vote.

Edit: I just meant the whole registered supporter thing - £3 or £25 - seems to have disappeared.
