No but its going to be very funny watching her fight it
Jeremy Corbyn's time is up
- Thread starter hash tag
- Start date
Well I am not really up on a lot of internet stuff like this so I had no idea that it meant hugging or even more bizarrely anything to do with Jews. I only post on this forum and my Twitter page so I have no idea what other people are doing on other forums and a lot of this stuff just goes over my head.
What's there to fight? She holds the whip hand. A minority labour government will surely crash and burn.
I wish it were otherwise and I like that Corbyn is going for it, that's the correct play, but still

The whip hand is all very well and good but it proves less useful when used for self flagellation.

That's why Corbyn's got the upper hand for now.
If he somehow ends up in a minority govt, the Tories either have to pass his laws or vote them down. If they vote them all down, then they'll be seen as wreckers/chaos brokers/whatever. There'll have to be another election, but they don't want that because they'll lose more seats. The electorate won't appreciate:
1) calling the unneccsary election just before Brexit talks
2) failing to make the unneccesary election mean anything except more uncertainty
3) fucking shit up even more by voting down all the minority govt's bills
4) forcing yet another election to get over this impasse.
So there's a good chance Labour could end up with a majority.
A proper dilemma for them, it is

Think this is sort of right, but to get there, either the government has to just resign (won't happen) or Labour MPs will have to vote no confidence. Unless they have an extremely clear reason for doing that, they will be seen as just a guilty of necessitating the election, surely?

Vote down/amend the Queens Speech and there you go.

Some nice digs in the speech by Corbyn
Boring speech, and who thought the red rose/poppy was a good idea? I only watched all the way through to see if Watson flicked his tongue out to catch a passing moth.

You mean it's not just Lancashire? I can see a Daily Mail "Traitor Corbyn wears wrong flower!" meme if he steps out without a poppy in his buttonhole in the month running up to Armistice Day.

Can't remember when I've ever sat and listened to a debate on the queen's speech, but... strange times in which we live:
Amazing to see what a bit of confidence can do. His jokes are pretty hopeless, but it's all very different from when he was, apparently, getting beaten up by may at pmqs.

Now that Lord Sainsbury has pulled out, who is going to back these losers? No one. Why would you? They have demonstrated just how incapable they are.

will be v interesting to see who / if anyone steps up to fill Sainsbury's boots here- who could see Progress as a good bet within Labour for the forseeable....?
