Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[ska invita]

Just a thought, has there been any mention of David Milliband coming back?

I noticed him at the same odds for next PM as Corbyn on oddschecker (both at 40/1)

Well the bookies did a great job with the referendum didn't they

Not really, more like she's seeing the resignation wave and calls to quit and deciding that's curtains. Quite a lot of people are doing that while not feeling it's right. Most of the article is her bashing the Labour right for not understanding the need for a left leader.

I've re-read it and it sounds very similar to the arguments many on the soft left are making.

Voice of youth W/C

according to who? I just asked some young working class people and they'd never heard of her.

 

[treelover]

Think about that before you cut up your membership card, or decide to vote Lib Dem (tempting with their new manifesto promise, I’ll admit, and not a course of action I am entirely ruling out myself), or give up altogether.

Well yeah she's soft left, so it would. But she's not gone as far as to say he can't lead, as in hasn't the ability, just that the right won't let him.

That is her USP for her type of journalism, of course I didn't mean literally,

I think you knew that.

 

[killer b]

No, I genuinely didn't. That's why I asked.

 

[treelover]

Ok

You think John bercow is left wing

he is certainly for the redistribution of wealth, in the traditional manner

Looks like Unions GMB and UNITE back Corbs and have told the PLP lots to sort their fucking lives out

Only rumour so far, right? Saw the Person tweet.

 

[not-bono-ever]

yesh

I know a UNITE spokeswoman turned up on Monday, did GMB as well?

Could have, can't remember all the speakers but definitely a clutch of Union ones. Not seen any lists since either.

GMB's a minor coup, rumour was they were wobbling earlier.

If this is true it'll be a disaster for the PLP. No membership and No funding, Chilcot in 7 days.

DISASTER.

Lets vote Leave they said, it'll fuck the Right right up they said, we'll have a few drinks, a few laughs, its gonna be sweet.

Who said that?

Yeh but you didn't think it would all happen in six days, surely?

 

[Artaxerxes]

Who said that?

It was given as a reason to vote Leave in some of the Lexit threads. Vote leave and watch capitalism come crashing down

 

[treelover]

If Corbyn goes, I really hope John Mc stays as S/Chancellor, in fact it should be a demand if he falls.

No it wasn't.

If Corbyn goes his remaining PLP backers will be submerged in concrete on the M25.

 

[Idris2002]

If Corbyn goes, I really hope John Mc stays as S/Chancellor, in fact it should be a demand if he falls.

And the backstabbers will be amenable to demands like that, will they?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

It's becoming increasingly likely that old Corbo isn't going anywhere for quite some time. Unless he becomes another David Kelly.

Who would you suggest makes this demand even before challenger noms close?

DISASTER.

A citizen's committee should be formed to guard the bridges leading to South London, to prevent them coming over here to scrounge food and supplies.

relatively unlikely - at this stage some deal looks implausible, its proper win all or lose all time - McDonnell might have impressed with his grip of the job, but he's still loathed on a personal level. there would simply be no point the PLP keeping him on, he's never going to accept a PLP victory over Corbyn and everyone knows it, he'd spend the whole time pissing in the tent and whatever advantage is gained by keeping this reasonably well respected S/Chancellor on is dwarfed by the nightmare of endless re-runs of the bitterness so far.
