There aren't that many more left to resign

 

[Mr.Bishie]

That's the normal thing to do when you get a challenge from stalking horses or cabinet colleagues (or, in this case, cunts). You resign and stand again, pretty much like John Major did. Trouble is, it could only end in the same outcome - depending on whether Corbyn actually gets on the ballot paper (I read on here that that's not 100% clear). Corby would win the vote, but still end up with an overwhelmingly hostile PLP. Truly astonishing state of affairs just at the moment the tories are at their weakest and we leave the EU. Labour are utterly fucked, regardless of whether there's an election this year or in 2020.

A great opportunity for Class War to step in & fill a void!

I'll bet a tenner to the server fund with you that JC is still leader come 5pm tomorra?

I'll lob a pony on to that.

nu-labour people really are dicks, shy-Tories really. Anyone seen Flint? Wish she'd fuck herself up along with other arseholes.

The intensity of feelings i have towards these resignees would probably allow the state to permanently section me. i'm not even a Labour member, so how must the ordinary rank and file socialist feel?

The Blairites really are unutterable in their reactionary vileness.

Stick in their Jezz, there are millions out there who will rally.

 

[Wilf]

Are there enough supporters in the PLP for the party to function?

I think it's a terrible mistake, I think it'll mark a death knell but it feels like unstoppable at this point. By the time the CLPs can act will it be too late. I think they're willing to destroy the party to do this.

Yep, I think its unstoppable now. Let's not forget of course that Corbyn himself was just about the least loyal MP in recent Labour history, though if he took a ministerial job I suspect he would have accepted that meant not shitting on the leader at the first opportunity. The Blairites must be fucking nuts in their hubris. They clearly and genuinely think Corbyn can't win (I happen to agree with them) but are now doing the very thing that ensures the party won't win at any point in the next few years.

Chris Bryant has resigned.

He's a Henry Jackson Society lackey.

Apparently 20 minor names are lined up to resign over the course of the day.

Sadly the jug of kool-aid has not yet been sipped.

What was that political quote about colleagues and enemies ... something like and these on my benches are my enemies ... anyone recall it ?

 

[Rob Ray]

There's at least four likely lads and lasses named in one or another list at Shadow Cabinet level, Jon Ashworth, Angela & Maria Eagle, and Luciana Berger.

Mate, if I put money on every definitive political statement I made, I'd be even closer to being a pauper than I am already...

There are 20 names more minor than some of today's? Some of them must be the admin staff, surely?

Is it just me, but maybe this is exactly what JC wants to build a true Socialist Labour Party, free from the Blairite shackles? Of course this could go tits up on a massive scale & the LP is finished for the forseeable, but is there hope?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Everywhere there are schisms and poison. Would be looking to escape at work but it's all kicking off to fuck there as well. I'm knackered and it's not Monday morning yet

They've been rounded up solely for the purpose of resigning

 

[kazza007]

And you're about to become history as far as these boards are concerned.

Eek! For disagreeing with you? Such an activist, you

Do what I said
And go to bed

 

[brogdale]

Is he reduced to filling places with the three-quidders yet?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

No

No to the former or that latter? You tease!

 

[realitybites]

Can someone help clarify what happens when an MP resigns? I am under the impression that 'resigning' like an MP means backing out of the door sheepishly on full pay, back to the boroughs for a Victoria sponge cake with the local constituents, with lithle threat of being called upon to ever do anything particularly challenging?
