Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[nino_savatte]

hey also interviewed a young UKIP organiser who spoke about workers rights and how they had been abandoned,

UKIP hasn't got a clue. They can whine all they like but when push comes to shove, they treat the working class with as much disdain as the Labour Right does.

 

[Flanflinger]

I don't think there's 51 socialists in the PLP.

Was there ever ?

 

[inva]

It's a mystery!

the solution from a Labour Party point of view doesn't seem that obvious to me, not that I'm a Labour supporter myself.

 

[brogdale]

Was there ever ?

Possibly not, at any one time.

Rebalance the economy away from financial services, rebalance the country away from London. Bewilderingly radical, I know.

2pm according to George Eaton - so going by his track record for accuracy, it'll be 2am. Or next year. Or yesterday.

If Angela Eagle were announcing the verdict it could also be this afternoon, tomorrow, Monday at one, Thursday at four and on and on and on!

[butchersapron]

He's won.

 

[squirrelp]

BBC News have announced judge rules in favour of Corbyn

 

[Sprocket.]

He's won.

Oh dear, someone wasted a few bob!

 

[two sheds]

Looking forward to reading the judgment

 

[mauvais]

Who knew? Let's have some verbose legal kickings please

Here.

Foster has wasted his time and the court's time. What a squalid, self-obsessed little shitcunt.

 

[butchersapron]

Seem to be be the straightforward reading that i think was the 'natural impression' most here saw.

Rebalance the economy away from financial services, rebalance the country away from London. Bewilderingly radical, I know.

no need to be like that about it.
what would a rebalanced economy look like? maybe this isn't the thread for it, but I think it would be very difficult to achieve. I don't know that the methods used to tie people in to Labour in the past are open to them now.

Well said reverend!

 

[brogdale]

Here.

Not difficult, is it...this judging lark?

 

[butchersapron]

"entirely clear" he says.

 

[Sprocket.]

How long before Owen Smith stands down? Let's say for health reasons or something else he comes up with and the circus of the leadership elections re-start with a couple of more senior names in the frame.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Not difficult, is it...this judging lark?

Easy work. Trebles all round!

 

[andysays]

How long before we hear accusations that Corbyn knobbled the judge?

 

[brogdale]

Here is a comment on the ruling from Iain McNicol, the Labour party general secretary:-

We are delighted that the court has upheld the authority and decision of the National executive committee of the Labour party.

We will continue with the leadership election as agreed by the NEC.

Dependent on the LP not losing the class action by post-January joiners for breach of contract.

 

[brogdale]

How long before we hear accusations that Corbyn knobbled the judge?

Judge a trot?

 

[butchersapron]

Foster says he won't be attempting to appeal.

 

[DotCommunist]

frabjouse I hope this cunts pockets are emptied

 

[Lucy Fur]

How long before we hear accusations that Corbyn knobbled the judge?

The PLP are that perverse, it wouldn't surprise me if they accused Corbyn of not doing enough to promote their challenge.

 

[two sheds]

The judgment was just dry legal arguments . I was hoping it would at least banish Foster to the tower and instruct Corbyn to be carried shoulder high into Parliament to take over Prime Ministership by popular acclaim .

Interesting that he ruled that words should mean what they're generally taken to mean except when they're not. And nice phrase

I say “objective” to distinguish the LP member who for political reasons wants to believe the words mean what he or she wants them to say from the person who takes a detached view of the position.

I wonder who that might refer to ...

Foster has to pay his+labours costs. Looks like Corbyn has to pay his own.
