Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[butchersapron]

Be interesting to see if he rethinks his candiru re for Manchester mayor, far from a shoe in from what I hear.

Just had the same thought after i posted that. I think he jumped far too early.

No, that "strong leader" ex-Army type from Barnsley that Blairites were cooing over last year. Can't mind his name.

Miliband is not in parliament and has form as a ditherer and shitebag. Not what Labour needs. Mind you, I suspect the thing Labour needs most after last night is a defilibrator and some jump leads.

Dan Jarvis - the former Para officer (and therefore shitcunt, as being an officer OR a Para is bad enough, being both is just plain despicable) who the right wing of the PLP love. Blair would have nocturnal emissions if Jarvis was leader. He knows that Jarvis's default setting on foreign policy will probably be "Hulk smash!".

Burnham's Manchester challenge was failing badly before all this blew up.

 

[killer b]

I have no idea what his position on it was.

why not?

 

[SaskiaJayne]

How can they gain advantage with a working class clearly at odds with them over the biggest issue in decades?

They need to change to reflect the views of those who should be voting for them.

Yep, on the telly just now.

The Labour party shooting self in foot when continuity and lw politics needed

They have released a statement blaming the foot for "the longest suicide note in history", apparently.

Such utter fuckwits.

 

[Knotted]

Cameron will resign because he was for remain and the vote went against him. Corbyn supposedly should resign because he wasn't for remaining strongly enough and should be replaced by someone who strongly favours remaining. Makes perfect nonsense.

 

[redsquirrel]

Hodge and Coffey the two signing it

 

[butchersapron]

Hodge the millionaire child abuse covering up one. Cryer should just chuck it out - not accept it. They would.

Coffey actively involved in 'uncovering' paedo rings - now teaming up with someone implicated in one.

 

[Sue]

Chris Leslie backstabbing on the BBC just now. These people.

 

[chilango]

Wow.

Looks like Labour will be out of the game. UKIP are gonna do an SNP on them in England if they're not careful.

 

[belboid]

Angela Shit Smith has called for him to go, a letter with 55 names on circulating supposedly

That was scandalous. Corbyn to blame because he didn't lie to the core Labour vote about immigration, so we should get rid of him.

They are so fucked and they seem to have absolutely no idea why. This (as in the whole shebang -- Corbyn, Cameron, Scotland, NI) is all about to get really messy/interesting.

 

[belboid]

All the polls showed Labour voters were overwhelmingly for exit. Did Labour represent them? No. Instead as you say they shared platforms with Torys and jointly lectured us. This was Corbyns test and he failed. I resigned my membership as a result. Not that I was an entirely commuted member mind.

Mm, the polls showed labour voters were remain by about 2-1

Very good

 

[Smokeandsteam]

So, this is what it feels like when the politcal class are utterly disorientated and turn in on themselves.

 

[SpookyFrank]

So now Labour will get a new leader, probably one out of those two that neither the party faithful nor the general public showed any interest in a year ago, and return to an utterly discredited blairite program. I'm sure that will help make them relevant again

But then I shouldn't speak too soon. It could be Jarvis or Umunna.

MPs submit Corbyn no confidence motion - BBC News

Margaret Hodge and Ann Coffey confirmed the move in a letter to the chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party.

The motion has no formal constitutional force but calls for a discussion at their next PLP meeting on Monday.

It will be up to the PLP chairman to decide whether it is debated. If accepted it would be followed by a secret ballot of Labour MPs on Tuesday.

He's my MP. I fucking hate him. An excuse for an excuse for a man.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Margaret Hodge and...

Hang on - isn't she MP for Barking & Dagenham which, err, voted ‘Leave’?

 

[Biscuitician]

Come on Corbyn, start to LEAD! Kick these wankers out otherwise forget it!

 

[SpookyFrank]

Come on Corbyn, start to LEAD! Kick these wankers out otherwise forget it!

He doesn't want to play the game of thrones, he wants to get on with actual stuff.

So he's been doomed since day one really.

 

[Supine]

The quicker Corbyn leaves the better. Totally failed to lead imho.

 

[Sue]

The quicker Corbyn leaves the better. Totally failed to lead imho.

And who should replace him?

 

[redsquirrel]

Amazing 12 months ago he was going to save us all, now he needs to go.
