Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Saul Goodman]

I've seen the 150k figure too. That's a lot of people. And a lot of money.

Maybe the whole mutiny was a cunning ploy, to increase membership and fill the coffers.

 

[coley]

Ha, yeah - I'm sure they'll honour that. Good luck anyway.

Seems you were right, got to the end of the queue, was asked to provide personal details, then another form asking me to confirm details and plus why did I want to sign up,
Mebbes the answer "to vote for Corbyn" wasn't the answer they wanted to hear;
As I got a big red announcement that applications closed at 5, though I was in the queue shortly after 4!

coley did you get screenshot?

I've heard a few people that happened to - I put 'to vote on the leadership election' which they had no problem with. You'd think it was conspiracy type stuff if they weren't such arseholes

that's me off the list

I'm sorry to verge off topic a bit and be slightly morbid but before you shuffle off this mortal coil can you please put down in a legally binding document that the only things to be inscribed on your gravestone are the dates you existed and the above mentioned quote. Cheers

I might just do that.

So what are we guessing then? I'm going for Corbyn to win by 70/30

 

[killer b]

60/40 again.

 

[binka]

The best odds you can get on Corbyn to win are 2/5 with Stan James (from oddschecker) Can you think of a better way to make a 40% return in less than 2 months?

 

[binka]

60/40 again.

Last time about 75% of supporters voted Corbyn and a lot of them then became full members. I would guess nearer 85% this time will be Corbyn supporters because quite frankly who the fuck is Owen Smith? And wht would anyone pay £25 to vote for him?

 

[two sheds]

Harry Potter would

Potter supports Corbyn, his creator supports Smith.

Be interesting to know how many missed out in that way... I was queued on Monday at 5.30ish where I imagine traffic was fairly high, but that only took 5 minutes or so.

Checked me e mails about 4 and there was one, "2 hrs to save labour" so it must have been about 10 past when I joined the queue and nearly six when I got to the end and got fucked off.

It is isn't it? The only way Corbyn loses is through fraud surely.

e-mail them, let them know

 

[stupid kid]

I can't believe that many people are willing to pay £25 to vote in a Labour leadership election

I joined in 2010 and voted. Think it cost me a quid?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Only the current Labour party could be so useless they can't even manage to fail to raise millions of pounds. I can fail to do that before I even get out of bed.

 

[stupid kid]

A good friend's partner and step-daughter have registered as supporters for the same reasons. It's a funny old world!

A lot of people on my FB who I never considered to be political have either joined for the last leadership contest or in the wake of Brexit. I have about 250 friends on there, and I'm getting news feed posts from about 10 re: Corbyn. I know 10 isn't many by itself, but I'm really surprised by it.

They know Corbyn is pushing for article 50 to be invoked immediately right?

Labour's finances were in dire straits before the GE. They were in debt. All that debt was paid off last year thanks to the various membership surges.

So that's one way that Corbyn was #SavingLabour

 

[J Ed]

So, with Labour on 29%... will a run of similar polling be bad for JC in the leadership contest? What if it gets worse?

I wouln't bet on Smith making that a key point in his gracious loser's speech.

Here's the entrance to a keep Corbyn rally in London tonight. Quite telling.
