Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[chilango]

So, Corbyn possibly stands again now for leader against whatever useless alternatives also put up, wins the members vote, Labour goes through a major split in two?

RIP anyways.

Here's hoping...

 

[butchersapron]

Are you sure?

I've definitely read in the last few days that whoever it was in the party that had to interpret the rules had decided that anyone wanting to go on the ballot paper had to get the 35 nominations...

That's not to say the report was correct, or that I hadn't dreamt it all up in my sleep-deprived state...

Yep. It's open to legal challenge now but i can't see them winning as the part of the rule book specifies that only challengers need nominations.

 

[danny la rouge]

If he's got 40 votes then he has enough support - probably - to get on the ballot paper that goes to the membership.

He needs 35.

Assuming he actually stands, he'll probably win it and this whole circus will continue indefinitely.

I'm sorely tempted to rejoin the Labour Party just for the entertainment value of voting him back in.

 

[butchersapron]

She's a liberal cartoonist!

Posy Simmonds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugh.

 

[Biscuitician]

Indeed.

SIR Eric Pickles? How the fuck did that happen?

I had heard that, as the incumbent leader, he automatically stands in a leadership election

Would the TopCat Commando be willing to have a second crack?

 

[ruffneck23]

Just emailed 'team labour' and told them to grow up and sort their lives out but slightly more eloquently

And so, I would imagine, is the entire membership of the conservative party...

It's an easy way to guarantee endless splits/chaos - new leader still on honeymoon period, snap election, with Labour in utter disarray.

"There's multiple egos in 'team'".

Fuck off you cunts?

same. Spite, the best reason to engage with capitalist politics

except the 're-join' part. You lived in a time before Blair though so I assume there were people talking a good Labour talk in yer membership days. All I've ever known is the robots from wherever the fuck they get these twonks

That's inevitable whatever happens now, isn't it?

I have been thinking the same....these are strange times indeed.

Oh, the Tories have disarray aplenty right around the corner.

 

[wheelie_bin]

Did someone say 15%? So he's won a place for members voting then?

 

[kebabking]

I think you're unlikely to lose money on that supposition...

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Imagine a party with Danny, Dot and Louis; what couldn't we achieve?

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

There seems to be lots of 'seeking legal advice' stuff around...and while you'd think they'd want to at least be seen to be being fair *cough* I really wouldn't be at all surprised if they just continued with the whole deceitful charade - they obviously don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks and I can't see that there's any depths they wouldn't sink to to try and oust him whichever way they can now...so the 40 'confidence' vote is a little bit reassuring

 

[Ole]

did they close the three quidder loophole? I'll never vote labour but I might 3 quid it just to spite these wankers for spitting in the faces of their members. Then after he gets back in, renounce all the works of satan.

No, the £3 supporter status still exists and will do so through the upcoming leadership election.

And butchersapron is right, Corbyn will automatically be on the ballot as incumbent leader.

I think that bit was fairly safe...

 

[Mr Moose]

The LP is finished. Done.

No it's not, it's just resting.

 

[butchersapron]

We are a democratic party, with a clear constitution. Our people need Labour party members, trade unionists and MPs to unite behind my leadership at a critical time for our country.

I askd on the other thread - how were members helping to do this, helping to build walls because of what was coming. Not a single member responded. There are loads of members on here who joined to support corbyn.

 

[butchersapron]

He's right to reject the legitimacy of the vote given his wider party electoral mandate. That PLP dominance should have been attacked straightaway though.

I'm a member of an affiliated TU, but I think I opted out of the political fund. I'm going to have to check.

Lol. Turnaround. I left the party 30 odd years ago!

 

[killer b]

Looks like a bigger purge than I expected.

This is true you did and when I replied back ask asking people to pm me as I'm not in England to see if we can do something I got no replies , which is a great shame , unless everyone thinks I'm a cunt

 

[brogdale]

It's true, they're just like us!
4 obviously scrawled "cunts" on their ballots!

If it's anything like last time, your union will offer to let you opt-in and then give you a vote.

 

[Pickman's model]

Yeh but on the yagoda scale it only merits a 1

 

[redsquirrel]

I've never been in Labour so I don't know if I'm missing something regarding the internal dynamics, but does the soft left, e.g. Eagle, not realise that they are just been used as catspaws by the Progress wing, or is it just a case that they are willing to go along with it because when it comes down to it they would rather see liberals in charge than the social democratic wing.

I mean even if they put her up and she wins, the right wing will planning to replace her from the start.

It's rubbish. Better off watching Bill Brand.



top right for next.

Always liked Jack Shepard as an actor, have to check that out.
