Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

What's the alternative to Corbyn if it isn't the bleating Blairite scum you affect to oppose but act like such a useful idiot for.

I don't know. I'm not their mates.

Corbyn had a nice little sinecure. Constituency work, maybe a demo or a speech in the evening that kind of thing. A careerist. He didn't even leave the party when it invaded Iraq.

Well now he has the top job and he better win or get a Mourinho in.

If he truly believed in Remain he should have had Labour in the Tories faces from the off with an alternate campaign. He should have passionately, angrily argued against the equivalence of the left with casual snobbery in doing so policing those casual snobs within the party. And he should have gone into full battle against the idea, cemented now, that immigration causes precarity.

The last one is hard, but the word on his lips should have been 'immigration' night and day breaking the assumption that the left won't speak of it. People would respect a fucking good row about it.

If he couldn't do it then let someone else and campaign for Brexit against neo-liberalism.

But don't lose, because losing means blairites or poss two parties.
 
It is amazing though that the biggest Tory total fuck up in years has and is being put onto Labour and what do they do, splinter and blame Corbyn and anyone else, when their real fear is they may not get re-elected.
Self centred bastards, why do they only ever think of themselves.
You would think I'd know by now after over forty years of witnessing their carry on.
 
I thought the interesting bit of the summer was going to be Chilcott.

A lot of headless chickens trying to decapitate things at the mo.

Unless Corbyn gets behind deselection, the whole thing's a waste of time, the grass roots membership will never get to see the party reshaped in any kind of representative form, and the incessant attacks from Progress / Blairites will never end
 
And Watson superficially loyal while also throwing his hat in as the potential strong hand at the tiller?

It's very clear to me that we are heading for an early general election and the Labour Party must be ready to form a government. There's much work to do. I will be meeting Jeremy Corbyn tomorrow morning to discuss the way forward.

So, do we think that Emily Thornberry is staying because she's loyal to Corbyn because she believes in him, or because she knows he's the only Labour leader who will giver her a job?

Superficially because he's not resigned, but the Graun's not wrong, it's as close to slagging him as Watson can get without actively waving the hatchet around.

Attendance will depend on whether the spag bol is ready or not. "Oi Rufus, can you nip out to get some more spag, yeah?"
