Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[emanymton]

Has anybody got any predictions?

I don't think the margin will be as big as others so am going to say 58% for Corbyn.

 

[Mr.Dogg]

I don't think the margin will be as big as others so am going to say 58% for Corbyn.

I would agree- considering so many of his supporters have been barred from voting, for Corbyn to get over 60% would be ridiculous (but great!).

 

[Mr.Bishie]

What time will the result come in?

 

[DaveCinzano]

What time will the result come in?

When the clock strikes thirteen

 

[Mr.Dogg]

What time will the result come in?

Labour website says 11.45am (at a guess, probably the actual result will be announced 12 noon)

For light relief, I quite liked this:

(stolen from Wings Over Scotland, Chris Cairns, and I hope they don't mind)

Damn, I'm sure I used to know how to post a pic but I am not sure whether this works.

Labour leadership election result: Jeremy Corbyn appeals for unity - Politics live

(There has also been some online abuse from anti-Corbynites, although generally it has been much harder to find.)

You haven't tried very fucking hard to find it, have you?

 

[Bakunin]

The Morning Star didn't seem to have a problem finding:

LABOUR SPIES BLIND TO VILE ANTI-CORBYN ONLINE ABUSE

 

[Ole]

It's extremely, painfully difficult not to find it - if not impossible.

The shamelessness of the Labour Party this election has been useful if nothing else.

 

[butchersapron]

I so hope Owen Smith wins this.

 

[DrRingDing]

Is the result being broadcast?

 

[Ole]

I so hope Owen Smith wins this.

 

[butchersapron]

Is the result being broadcast?

To the world - via anarchists for the labour party network.

 

[Buckaroo]

I so hope Owen Smith wins this.

So fun if he does

 

[butchersapron]

To the world - via anarchists for the labour party network.

Actually, that's not true. No one will be able to know unless they are there. That's the modern world i'm afraid.

Jeremy Corbyn is 'out of touch' and an 'election loser' among working class voters, poll finds

Poll for The Independent shows a major disconnect between traditional Labour voters and new Corbyn supporters

The poll that shows what the working classes really think of Jeremy Corbyn

Another great poll finding - "after over a year of the media calling Corbyn 'out of touch' and an 'election loser'" people think he's 'out of touch' and an 'election loser'.

Strangely, they don't report which papers the people in the poll read.

Actually, that's not true. No one will be able to know unless they are there. That's the modern world i'm afraid.

You'll rejoice at this... Fans to unfurl Corbyn banner on the Kop

And even they won't know, that's the modern world.

You're somewhat right. She has a friend at the embassy. Just a friend. I have no doubt that as soon as you get any kind of job further up the ladder in politics you get friends in all sorts of places. As you say, and as I said earlier, this is who they mix with. The point is that it is entirely normal. That is not to excuse what it means structurally or politically, but to explain that there is nothing more covert and shady about her saying Brown was going to call an election (a point on which she was wrong about at the time anyway - what an asset) than there is any of them gossiping about the latest rumours over a glass of wine at the end of the day. Westminster, and London politics more generally, is a hive of this stuff - puffed up wonks and wannabes and think-they've-made-its talking themselves up to each other, schmoozing, a nudge here, a wink there. It's all bullshit, but it's all terribly quotidian. The glassy eyed glee with which this wikileaks thing has been passed around as some sort of evidence of something or another is at best intellectually dishonest and at worst feeding into some really unhelpful and stupid stuff. If it were being discussed with wider framing of how the political classes network and set against the idea of grassroots politics it would at least be more useful than the ways in which it's being used at present.

I'm not interested in defending WikiLeaks as an organisation nor, fwiw, Assange at all. But yes, it's about power, it's Miliband Vs Poulantzsas. It might be mundane, but it's also significant, it's how power and influence work. However I think that with her background in Bicom it's worth at least imagining her influence with the Americans to be a bit more focused. I agree with you in terms of the things that WikiLeaks can lead into - conspiraloonery - but then the actual leaks themselves sometimes indicate something genuine and plausible.

Is the result being broadcast?

No, it is being disseminated by telepathy
