Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Sirena]

Smith supporters do have a weird, waxen look to them.

If you watch the Question Time show, you will notice that a Saul Miller asks the question about anti-semitism. Now, he is almost not a real human.

Curiously, he is also a regular on Question Time. He is so oddly plastic, I remember having seen him a couple of times before, usually when Mad Mel is on. Unfortunately, I can't find a photo....

i think the one in the red is checking his pulse to see if he's about to die of boredom...

 

[DaveCinzano]

It's as if the Hunger Games were real

 

[existentialist]

And there are people who think these guys are actually capable of winning a general election.

Not only is there zero chance of that ever happening but they are so bloody incompetent that there is no meaningful opposition to the Tories right now!

And it's not going to change! If you put a team of people together who simply aren't up to the job and have them marshalled by a man who at heart doesn't want to be there, the only thing you can expect is total marginalisation and irrelevance.

Shaddap.

Diamond: wait till the new people start knocking on doors.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

so long as it is what the people on the olden days called a drubbing I shall be satisfied. I thinks nakedly becoming clear if it wasn't before 'we own the machine, you have the mandate'

DC where does this come from?

[Artaxerxes]

Unfortunate juxtaposition...

 

[ViolentPanda]

Only in an imaginary world where events that proceed bear no relation to events that precede them; and where all other things are equal except that one variable. And even then - probably, not always.

That's a pretty good analysis of where Hertford lives.

A nickname for a leper, innit!

[DrRingDing]

This is one way of ensuring corbyns time is up!......

Corbyn's seat set to vanish from map under Tories' boundary changes

 

[killer b]

How? He won't have the slightest difficulty getting another seat.

 

[DrRingDing]

How? He won't have the slightest difficulty getting another seat.

What seat?

 

[killer b]

I dunno, Leicester east is probably up for grabs soon?

All women shortlists?

 

[Vintage Paw]

Only certain seats have all women shortlists.

 

[timeforanother]

We need more women leaders, and folk from the different ethnic groups (I'm not a WASP), but sod having useless people with bad politics, Eagle? Come fly with me.

 

[timeforanother]

I'd look forward to jez winning an unwinnable seat There are lots of new people who will knock on doors.

He won't want to challenge Dianne or Emily (that is how the seats lie). Lots of CLPs would want him as their MP in an instant.

 

[killer b]

All women shortlists?

I think you need to calm down.

 

[andysays]

Only certain seats have all women shortlists.

Aren't there particular situations where all-women shortlists come into play, rather than specific seats?

I have a vague idea (and it is just that) than in the case of a "retiring" MP there has to be an AWS to choose their replacement, which would limit Corbyn's ability to be parachuted into Leicester East or any other vaguely safe seat.

 

[killer b]

ordinary selection rules won't apply in this case. Jess Phillips will get to call him a misogynist, he'll get to run in a safe seat. That's all that'll happen.

 

[Plumdaff]

What seat?

Pontypridd? There's a certain justice to it.

 

[DotCommunist]

Pontypridd? There's a certain justice to it.

thats just what ma said. But yeah he'll win whichever labour seat he goes for imo. Carried forward on the backs of the adoring crowd. St Jez.

 

[JimW]

He can come down to Stroud and win it back off our Tory mannequin. He claimed to be a Rovers fan last time he was here so he can hang around the New Lawn with his mate Dave Drew, when he's not out smiting the unrighteous.

 

[DrRingDing]

Pontypridd? There's a certain justice to it.

I think we have a winner.

 

[redsquirrel]

Worth pointing out that the Independent is a rather different slant on the issue

Mr Corbyn said he was unhappy about the changes, which will now be consulted on, but "very confident" about the future. Despite the abolition of his seat, it is unlikely he would not be selected in the new Finsbury Park & Stoke Newington constituency largely formed from his current North Islington base.

No idea which is correct but I it's hardly the forgone conclusion the ES would like to believe
