Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[treelover]

God, it is getting ugly, Smith just had interviews on both major broadcast channels bascially saying JC is condoning bullying, the thing is it will make people who have some issues with Corbyn but support the general direction and like the integrity and commitment even more determined to beat the 'rebels'

 

[nuffsaid]

I think Corbyn needs to start nicking the stationary and mugs with the Labour logo on. When the fighting starts over who uses the brand he can whip them out

Corbyn: 'well I've got the stationary and mugs so dibs it's mine'
Smith: 'can't argue with that'

 

[ViolentPanda]

Jesus fuck the man's ego just now on newsnight. May must be laughing even harder than Cameron when he first faced him. An arrogant cunt beyond belief. Go on, vote for him. You're voting for May.

The only arrogant cunt is you, assuming you've got a strategic political mind, when your posts show you'd lose a game of draughts.

Some great results in local elections for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party:

There were 11 by-elections last night. So far, we have 10 full results in. Labour successfully defended three seats with an increased percentage of the vote. That included a whopping 21.4% increase in Southcote ward in Reading. In two of the 10 seats that Labour was standing in, there was no previous Labour candidate. Both achieved respectable results, showing that Labour can make inroads in supposedly hostile ground. In all but one of the 10 results in, there has been an increase in the percentage of Labour vote. As we have said before, the argument that Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable does not stand up to the evidence. Last night by elections confirm that view.

With all this stuff Smith is coming up with regarding Corbyn being a bad boss, why doesn't he take action by joining an affiliated Union, raising a grievance and taking his 'boss' to a tribunal?
But then surely Smith's bosses are the CLP that chose him and the constituents he is employed to represent!

I wonder what his dad's (Pat McGinn, former Newry councillor) shadier mates make of all this, watching the next generation whine about intimidation by meanie Mr Corbyn. Pat reportedly labelled fellow councillor Martin Cunningham a tout for showing sympathy with the family of Robert McCartney after the latter's murder in 2005, allegedly by the provos, so a soft touch he certainly ain't.

 

[brogdale]

This is really offensive.

Made even more so by representing a 'tag-team' approach with May's PMQs performance.

The Guardian have a transcript of one of those interviews, perhaps the highlight being:

There has been intolerance and abuse in the Labour party, that we have never seen before.

Has he not heard of what happened to Elizabeth Filkin? Or Brown throwing office supplies at people?

 

[redsquirrel]

McGinn goes on to make explicit the danger that lay behind the monster's threat...

​

He knows this for a "fact" because he's apparently been told it by other's.

Coming soon: Our exclusive story about how Corbyn threatened and bullied an Islington hedge with a pair of garden shears: "i'll cut you down to size"

Hmmh bit like Arrrggghhs leadership announcement - I'll believe it when I see it

Its not a policy coming from Corbyn, its long been decided:

Mad Dog's involvement in this sort of thing has already been noted - “they haven't gone a whey, you know” as the man himself might say

I received my reply from my MP Chris Evans, via letter, today (21-07-16).
As a young(ish), disabled woman in his constituency I am furious at his response to my complaint. I am neither violent nor intimidating. I, like many, just want a fairer shot at life, for my voice to be heard and that is why I support Corbyn. Chris Evans, what you said is not only dismissive and arrogant, but it is hurtful ...

Very disingenuous reply to a constituent, sounds full on smears.

We must all be aware of Mr Corbyn's ability to pull a crowd by now, surely?

‘Entryism-on-Sea’ –

Smears or based on fact, article attacking the AWL and its role in the new labour party, clearly has a 'labour right wing' agenda.

I think we need an album of treelovers crowd shots.

which do you think it is, a smear or "based on fact"?

 

[treelover]

This is a story of fringe leftwing groups insinuating their way into local parties and attempting to force their agenda – explicitly revolutionary and contemptuous of parliamentary democracy – onto the Labour Party. Groups like the Alliance for Workers Liberty, a Trotskyist sect committed to revolution which grew out of the Militant Tendency in the early 90s.

Well, the author had already got that bit wrong.

Probably evidence that Corbyn is the one who steals the middle out of every Polo.

What a despicable letter.

The bullying accusations are bizarre considering that what's happening to Corbyn can easily be described as bullying. He doesn't use that description because he doesn't do personality politics, but the collusion of the "rebels" and the media to constantly batter him with lies in the press and heckle him from his own backbenches is definitely bullying. They're basically crying because they keep hitting him and he refuses to fall down.

strange how rarely that happens to other people and how often it happens to you

What do we think Dai Smith makes of his son's political trajectory? I don't know his politics, but holding the Raymond Williams Chair of Cultural History and writing biographies of Williams and Bevan suggest he might be a little disappointed. Perhaps someone ask him to have a word, try to get his son to see sense, no need for a clip around the year, but he could lend him a copy of Mayday Manifesto, or Keywords.
