Angela Eagle faces backlash from grassroots Labour and ECHO readers
Potential Labour leader hopeful and Wallasey MP Angela Eagle is coming under fire from her own constituency party – and ECHO readers. The Mersey MP is one of those being tipped to take on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn who is facing a vote of no confidence from his own MPs this afternoon.But Ms Eagle, who was tearful yesterday as she explained why she had joined the majority of her shadow cabinet colleagues in quitting the Labour front bench, is coming under pressure from Labour members in her own constituency.

A letter from the secretary and chair of the Wallasey Constituency Labour Party (CLP) says delegates want the MP to “reject the motion of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn”.They wrote that a meeting of the CLP was “overwhelmingly behind Jeremy continuing as Labour leader” in the email sent at 11.36pm on Sunday, June 26, after the first day of shadow cabinet resignations.
 
I wonder if Corbyn actually needs the brand name and the infrastructure. The Labour party is tarnished, Momentum could work for the election, it sounds fresh and hopeful at a time when people are crying out for change. The issue in the meantime is that he loses the opposition bench, but frankly he'll lose it on numbers if the blairites set up their own party anyway.

I cringe at the word 'brand' but certainly he needs the infrastructure, the bods who deliver leaflets and the cash to make PP broadcasts.

Without these you are just a loon on Hyde Pk Corner.
 
If you're not a member of an affiliated group it says there are no contests at the moment for people to register to vote in. It offers the alternative of joining the Labour party at £2 or £4 a month.

Tempted if that gives me a vote on for example candidate selection.
Are you not a member of an affiliated union?
 
No, you do one, I have seen comments similar to mine from you and others, Progress are making hay with it, and lots of people are asking why is it allowed?, this isn't your board by the way, sorry to sully it with less celebral postings than yours.

Done and dusted yesterday (and beyond). We all get it, it's irritating at best, but not the most pressing issue atm, even in terms of whatever shit Progress happen to be slinging right now.

Disgusting how the Guardian now utilises stats to fit its own agenda, this rejection applies to all parties, 52% for the lib dems.

And (see earlier today on this thread) compared to stats the Graun itself was quoting on Sunday it's actually a 2% decrease in the proportion of 2015 Labour voters saying they wouldn't vote Labour now.
 
If they don't come up anything tonight they are really stuck. Did they not run that through their meter? They try to use all options but don't have one for when none of them works,
