Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

Reading the judgement it would seem the NEC can bar from voting anyone who intends to for for Corbyn if it wishes and can probably apply that rule after the vote.
 
This is specifically answering two questions; does the rulebook allow the NEC to set a freeze period? Is there anything in contract law that prevents the specific freeze period from being a legitimate exercise of their power?

It doesn't have any wider effect than that.

e2a: Well, maybe 3 - does the rulebook prevent this type of freeze period?

Labour are in a right mess...worse than at any time in their history too...Corbyn is utterly useless but backed by a HUGE number of people who care about people agreeing with them more than making policy which shapes the country. Sad times...

But they're still not as empty and pointless as your post. Keep up the good work.

so policy shaping is to be done by whom? Don't you like democracy?

He's certainly worked for Brown/D Miliband in the past; not sure that necessarily makes him an insider...but maybe?

One of the sources linked to the tweet basically says he owes his career to Blair-

shortly after Labour’s victory, the Treasury passed over three more experienced candidates for First Junior to choose Philip Sales, a 35 year old member of Irvine’s former chambers, who specialised in European public law. The position generated £100-200,000 annually in briefs and virtually ensured a judicial appointment.

Ah, the Irvine link,eh?
Probably correct then.
How convenient for the party establishment that he heard & agreed the appeal...and prevented SC appeal.
 
There's quite a weak piece in the indie about the 'possibility' of MI5 getting on to Momentum. Of course, they have probably been on to them more or less from inception so the piece could be limited hangout.

You can do better than that.
 
I was going to ask what the fucks up with Scotland being so pro-owen (prowen?) since they are supposedly more left wing up that way. Then I realised that Scottish labour fucked up so badly that they are now in third place behind the tories. Makes perfect sense now.

Yes, almost all the Labour left-wingers left for greener pastures in Scotland.
 
Seems to me the court decision is good news. On the one hand, noone appears to think it remotely possible that it will result in ultimate victory for Smith. But, on the other, it will make it harder in future to challenge the NEC in court. For example, regarding rules about candidate selection and deselection.

....and those members should fuck off taking it to the SP. It'll only drain their own coffers.
 
I haven't joined Momentum so I can say I was never a part of anything like a party within the party.

The Withington CLP didn't get back about cancelling the leadership debate yet. I don't think we will get a chance to colour it in on the map.
