Good. Hopefully more will follow, a proper Blairite purge.

To be fair, I'm sure many of the resigners and sackees are honestly convinced that Corbyn is bad for the party and the country. However that is on the basis of their shit politics.

A stalinist purge might prove more satisfying tho

Hardly getting over it.
Way too many of them are self-serving, opportunistic pricks. Many of them have shown that they give more fucks about their own positioning and posturing than about their constituents. The majority of the resigners haven't resigned because of a lack of faith or trust in Corbyn, regardless of what they claim - look to their actions, not their words - but because they're positioning themselves in order to promote their own careers. To me, that makes them "self-satisfied pricks", no-one else.

I always thought that they didn't. That their over-riding job was to represent the expressed interests of their constituents, not their own interests or those of factions within their party.
Still, maybe I believe the above because I'm daft enough to believe in democracy, and accountability.
Hah!

I guess my attitude to my 'boss' in the LP would depend a fair bit on whether I was a Progress supporting shitstain who's sole long term objective was to carry on the Blairite dream of PFIs/academies/de unionisation/light touch City regulation and disastrous wars, if and when they come up.

hark at the big man here, impressive.
Corbyn shouldn't be letting these people resign; he should be in there first. This is just making him look even more weak in the eyes of the electorate IMO.

10/30 Shadow Cabinet members, plus 1/3 of the people who sit in but aren't formal Shadow Cabinet.

Nah. He can't just throw darts at the Blairites. Sacking Benn for plotting was one thing, & it sent a clear message I think. If the rest of the spineless cunts want to walk out, let them.

On what grounds? If he started kicking people out who hadn't resigned or been caught doing something dodgy it'd just look bonkers.

Thats all very well if MPs were queuing up to fill the rolls
But that's not how it will be seen, and that's Corbyn's biggest problem.
I hope he can survive this, even though I don't care for Labour. If we must have a PM, or even another election, i'd rather him than Boris or any of the chinless wankers.
He must know who's against him. These people have hardly been subtle these past few months.
Which they express in shadow cabinet and not outside.
Of course if they were resigning on a point of principle, things would be different. But they're blatantly not (shown by these coordinated resignations and no mention or suggestion of any principles at all).

Sackings with no other excuse than "I think you've been too narky with me recently" would look just as bad as resignations, probably worse - his enemies could add "paranoid and arbitrary" to the list of criticisms.

What have you done as a member to support him?I fucking swear, if he goes because of this the Labour Party can kiss my membership goodbye.
Fucking pricks, the lot of them.
