Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Puddy_Tat]

Got the 40 - These MPs voted Confidence in Jeremy Corbyn

another article on that site - Hanging from Traitors’ Gate – Progress: Labour’s right wing Militant

Progress is more open about its income than it used to be. Its website advises that in 2014 it relied on money and support from Bellenden Public Affairs, a lobbying firm that represents privatisers like Serco and NHS outsourcer Care UK.

Progress also took money from Lexington, another lobbying firm whose clients include Interserve, another major privatiser, and the “Giant Vampire Squid” of banking, Goldman Sachs.

I'm fully aware 'progress' are a bunch of quasi-tory twunts, but didn't think it was to this extent...

is there a : purge with an iron broom: smiley out there?

What do you mean? They are merely the sensible, moderate electable people. I am sure that none of this money influences them at all.

I mean, I'm joking, but most of them are probably so far gone that they'd stump for Goldman Sachs for free.

Check who were the official funders of the remain campaign,

Seen this yet?

Another Media Setup? - Craig Murray

Anna Phillips is, apparently, the secretary of London Young Labour

And a member of progress ...

... While the bloke is some sort of new media PR wizard according to Murray.

Does smell a bit funny.

 

[weltweit]

The tories will have a new leader in 8 weeks.
How long will it take labour, even if only to reinstate Corbyn?

 

[The39thStep]

Livpl labour people saying he's about to leave as well. Lots of them saying it.

The dilemma of which pie to put his finger in. Heartbreaking.

 

[wheelie_bin]

Bellenden Public Affairs. ffs.

They could just remove the "en", save lots of money printing.

 

[chilango]

Sat with a bunch of soft Tory voters (probably LibDem in 2010) all busy pontificating about how Labour "need" to get rid of Corbyn.

So, yeah, Corbyn must stsy.

A couple of Labour people arrived later and tore them a new one about Labour's polling under Corbyn leaving the soft Tories spluttering banalities about "world statesmen".

My Green Party councillor was sat outside in the beer garden in the rain.

I know rain makes grass grow faster, but it's really desperate times for the Greens if that's their post Brexit instruction.

Going by scrutiny of social media, JC has lost some early adopters but gained new supporters largely because of his conduct and honesty

Though i think Milne has been manipulating him recently.

Because...?

 

[not-bono-ever]

Bellenden Public Affairs. ffs.

[killer b]

Because...?

Milne looks a bit evil, defo the manipulating type.

 

[gawkrodger]

Going off social media, I am surprised by how many people I know who I would never have imagined would join labour, have announced they've become members this evening

Why? To defend Corbyn?

That's what working for the Guardian does to you.

In the last few days, the incompetence and self interest of our MPs has shown up even more than it normally does. Corbyn comes across as honourable, people like that.

He said he was 7.5/10 in favour of the EU, the country needs a middle ground leader. Trying to think countrywide here; he likes the bits most people like (investment, jobs, worker protection, environment) and doesn't like the bits most people don't (democratic deficit, economic integration, not going far enough on workers rights). The only challenge area cross-party for him might be defence and immigration, but maybe we all want to focus on ourselves for a bit and there's a compromise position that works (increasing workers rights may reduce immigration to an extent on its own). So all in all I think he's genuinely more in tune with a broader cross-section of people's opinions at a time when they've all just been thinking it through.

I've summoned up the courage to have a look at progress website

their funding page (here) is interesting

BVCA is the British Venture Capital Association - lobby group for private equity investors

(Morning Star did pick up on this a year ago - article here)

yeh, seems to be - 6 this evening alone - 4 politicos (2 of which I'd never have imagined join any party) and 2 fairly non-political types

I know 4 in my circle of friends.

How on earth does he gain from conduct and honesty after his piss poor referendum showing?

All we have is a desire to continue the project. The man himself is a liability.

 

[realitybites]

Shitty times like these you really would want to turn to your elders and peers for reassurance, I'm wondering who are JCs peers? Is there any senior out there who shares his principles that could offer support, or is he really in a one man canoe..

 

[wheelie_bin]

Alex Salmond was openly supportive.

 

[Biscuitician]

Bellenden?

Simply opposing that shower is enough.

He has lost the chance of accepting advice now he is the messiah and everyone else a plotter.

Piss-poor? According to your narrative he backed the winning side

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Blunkett's just fucking enraged me speaking on the news just now. Calls Corbyn a fringe element and that he should give up the leadership with good grace so one of our people can get in. The arrogance is just breath taking, truly breath taking.
