Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

Tk maxx- they're got millions in there for £34 and have had for years now. That's why you don't buy one.

Corbo in a nice Ralph Lauren Harrington there, I see. Man of the people.

Certainly not until the yellow label's been slapped over the red.

Clearance dweller.

Edit: maybe £44. Tops.

I know – sorry I wasn’t clear, I meant he’s actually dressed like a normalish person.

I suppose that means the next Labour leadership election will be £35 a vote.

This is the last election.

Er, I think you'll find I'm known to the 'industry' as a price-led replacer, actually.

It's yellow label season in there atm lads, worth popping in over the next few weeks.

I'm a shrinkage specialist as well.

Probably a knock off from Marmaris!

 

[killer b]

As butch helpfully points out, you don't really need to knock off Ralph.

 

[butchersapron]

I think Smith's plan now is to demand debates. Head to head debates. Where he can be rude and that and get on tv for being rude.

 

[Sprocket.]

someones just encountered the idea that you can't buy everything and its not your party dammit. Oh its a good day today.

Why doesn't Foster start his own party and take his mates with him!

I was alerted to this New Statesman article written by someone called Martin Robbins, who describes himself as

a Berkshire-based researcher and science writer. He writes about science, pseudoscience and evidence-based politics.

For someone so dedicated to "evidence-based politics", his article is rather evidence free and does a whistle stop tour of all the anti-Corbyn tropes. He also claims that Corbyn has a "paranoid leadership style".

There's no comments thread, so therefore no right of reply.

At least he did not work for someone bad like a pharmaceutical company.

It would be wise for Corbyn to say he was ignoring the leadership challenge. Go out in the country and get as many mass meetings as possible, ideally out in communities as well as the usual venues. A 'not the leadership' campaign based around resistance, opposing the tories and new policy initiatives.

Shared interests certainly do make for strange political bedfellows, I remember Blair courting Gadaffi, Brown courting the Sauds, Cameron also the Sauds (any number of dodgy dictatorships in fact). The only reason Owen Smith hasn't got that sort of resume yet is he's got no other interests to serve beyond his own and even so, managed to get in some NHS privatisation lobbying just for his own pockets - and of course he was at one point a Spad for allies of the war criminal Tony Blair as they helped his push to war.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that there are long-term Westminster politicians without dodgy bits in their resumes?

An excellent Newsnight package last night featured various people from Burnley, one said she had no interest in politics, didn't know who Corbyn was, but it was clear she had been very politically aware, she cited Brown's comments about Gillian Duffy as the key moment she switched off, etc. They also interviewed a young UKIP organiser who spoke about workers rights and how they had been abandoned, others spoke about how all the Mills and factories had gone and there was 'no future' I wonder how Corbyn and Co can connect in these places that also voted en masse to leave the EU etc.

Aye, and like the BBC doesn't pick individuals to represent its particular slant! Was in Newcastle a few days before the ref vote and watched BBC 'look North' interview prospective voters, as expected they portrayed 'the usual suspects' lager swilling, gobshytes,that can be found in any city centre, as representative of the leavers, and the well dressed 50+ types who expressed 'concerns' at the prospect of leaving.
Corbyn, or realistically, those who carry forward his message,can connect to those who have been abandoned because, unfortunately ( for the right wing) there is many more 'have nots' compared to the 'we haves,
And Corbyn, despite his 'unelectability' has put a fire under the political 'elitist establishment'
And TBH I'm gobsmacked the same 'elitist establishment' has fucked up the PLP and Owen Smith in short order
ETA, earlier court judgement

I wish you hadn't posted that second image, couldn't you have used NSFW or something.

 

[coley]

It's a mystery!

Service industries innit, banking, insurance, retail?
Though who's going to have money to put in the bank or buy insurance or buy goods/ food when the financial bubble bursts.
Dried food producers, best long term investment ever, just partly joking

the British army destroying the middle east:

Oh bollocks, the long time suppressed various ideological ( or totally illogical) religious factions being allowed free reign ( "to destroy the middle east")to obliterate and murder each other while a totally inadequate number of British troops were supposed to provide stability! It's been covered 'as nauseam'
Blame Blair/brown/ Campbell and the rest of the shytehawks, but don't blame the British Regular Army for the problems in the ME, if indeed you need an Army from a supposedly democratically state who are emphatically responsible for much of the unrest and suffering...nuff said.

Strange - is that because Corbyn added his name to the suit (although I don't see why that would change things)?

Bit lost here, Corbyn didn't bring this case or have owt to do with it, why should it cost him a bliddy penny??

 

[coley]

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.

Cancel Hinckley and HS2 and other multi billion South Eastern 'vanity projects' and spend the billions saved on actually creating the snide Tory inside joke known as the "Northern powerhouse"
50p in the £ dedicated to London and the SE while we get 1P in the pound up here in the frozen North? And the elitist establishment and the cosmopolitan latte drinking young of the SE wonder why we voted out!!
Fuck em

Corbyn was party to the suit. He wasn't originally being sued, but as he had an interest in the result he got in there as a second defendant so he ensured he could put up a proper fight and wasn't reliant on the NEC legal arguments. As he won with costs awarded this means the plaintiff had to pay two sets of costs

Ta, the legalities of this affair has been beyond me.
