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

What does it tell you?

 

[killer b]

Oh gosh, the swappies. Fucking bellends.

 

[Cakes]

183,541

Shut the door!

Wow Owen Smith is way more inspiring than I gave him credit for.

 

[Wilf]

Swappies - in shorts!

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Crick is a twat.

This is a Corbyn pyramid scheme money making scam!!

I recognise one of them from Sheffield, he's been at it a long time, must have annoyed so many thousands of people in his time.

 

[J Ed]

If Labour people told them to just go away or at least stop their conspicuous advertising and paper flogging would they do it? Presumably people have already asked...

 

[Wilf]

Aside from individual donations of £x million coming in to the Tories, probably the largest amount raised by a party* over a couple of days.... ever?

* edit: UK party that is. I can think of a few parties that have had their coffers swelled substantially by organised crime etc.

Actually it's a reverse funnel system

Of course they would! The Corbynites are very good at intimidation, try and keep up.

'And if the brick doesn't scare you, then we may say something slightly unflattering on twitter'.

The ex student leader Michael Chessum in the beige chinos and purple t shirt, and is that a senior SWP head next to the guy in the bucket hat?

Labour supporters have cooled on Corbyn, Guardian survey finds
Research finds enthusiasm waning for party leader but no evidence of support for any other candidate

Labour supporters have cooled on Corbyn, Guardian survey finds

Oh, what a surprise, new research finds what the Guardian wants.

Never mind Team Milliband were invisible for the first four years of the last parliament.

By asking only party officers and councilors it appears. Do they get multiple votes or something?

So, the LP =PLP line from the Guardian having failed, it has now democratised into LP=party officers and elected members.

and claimed it can be broadened out not just to the membership but labour supporters as a whole. blatantly dishonest

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?

Stan James has already come in from 2/5 (to make a 40% return on investment) to 3/10 (30% ROI). Best odds now available are 4/11 with William Hill and Coral - that represents a 36% ROI.

I reckon the 25 quidder numbers are so high because of gut reaction. They realise Jez is playing an honest game against dirty tricks, and they like him including his heartfelt left belief. I think a lot of the less commited wider electorate will feel the same after the PLP have come into line or been deselected.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Could you define the difference between those three groups? I'm sure there are differences but in practice I wonder what they are

one's a bunch of twunts. that one's a bunch of twunts. and the other one's a bunch of twunts.

hope that helps.

There's a reasonably ethical history of doing a 'state of the party' surveys by contacting the chair's of constituency parties/associations. For example I can remember the BBC doing them in the Tory Party throughout John Major's travails. Far from scientific, but reasonably consistent with regard to who at least gets asked the question. This seems to be much more random, mixture of chairs, secretaries, local exec members, councillors. Certainly smacks of a trawl intended to garner up 'disatisfaction'.

Will the wider electorate respond well afterwards? Labour is polling at 29% now, clearly it would be doing much better without the backstabbing but would it be doing well enough? I'm not sure I see it. I don't see it with any other leader either.

You can imagine their reaction, after gerrymandering it to the point of making it £25 a vote: 'fuck, me they are STILL registering to support out party. What's wrong with these people?'

The court hearing about whether Corbyn's name is indeed automatically on the ballot paper was today. I don't think there's been a result yet but I heard the judge wasn't altogether thrilled that McNicol seemed to be rolling over to the Plaintiff and saying 'tickle me'.

Over the course of this thread quite a few people have come on to say that people they know who have had very little interest in politics up to now have joined to vote Corbyn purely because they have become utterly disgusted at the actions of the PLP.

Is these subtle differences that prompted my question. Thanks

I'd be amazed if the case goes against Corbyn. However, if it did and they had to restart the leadership election, we'd be at the far end of farce, twice round the track and out the other side. Theresa May might as well just launch her loudest eggyist farts at PMQs the state the labour party is in.

I thought articul8 would've been all over these threads like a rash.
