Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[butchersapron]

I just heard Alex Salmond say on the radio that he had a conversation with Dennis Skinner who told him the challenge to Corbyn is because Corbyn said that he would support the prosecution of Blair if the Chilcot report is a bad as it is being claimed.

Is that what it is all about?

Prosecution by who?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Ha, they've totally fucked this haven't they?

It's like Brexit 2.

 

[1%er]

Prosecution by who?

He didn't say (I'd assume the courts)

 

[killer b]

He's just gone 'whatevs, talk to the hand', and it looks like that's all he had to do. Incredible.

Anti-Corbyn Labour MPs investigate party name ownership



So they want to split and keep the name. The arrogance!

MK Labour ?

 

[Artaxerxes]

MK Labour ?

New New Labour

I am just waiting for them to all walk out of the Commons when he walks in.

LOCK ALL THE DOORS! BEGIN PUMPING IN THE LAUGHING GAS!

The Lib Dems say more than 10,000 people have joined the party since the Brexit vote last week. The Lib Dems are the only main party committed to going into the next election calling for Britain to stay in the EU. The Lib Dem leader, Tim Farron, said:

Look who also seems to be benefiting from the chaos, short memories!

no, only a tiny number of the 172 give a shit about Blair, and if anyone thinks even they would throw themselves under a bus for a PM who left office nearly a decade ago they need to give themselves a bit of a shake.

Chilcot will be a bit embarrassing for some Labour MP's (Hilary Benn was at DFID in 2003), but none of them were in senior positions or got to make big decisions about whether Iraq happened or not - the 'its Chilcot, stupid' stuff is just conspiraloon rubbish pulled out of someones arse to divert attention from the fact that Corbyn is, in fact, crap at his job and that this is as much a reason there are 172 no confidence votes as the fact that they hate his politics. noting, of course, that some of the 172 don't hate his politics, they quite like them - they just think he's crap at his job.

Corbyn - or Watson, or Cooper, or Eagle - could call for the prosecution of Blair for War Crimes, but its not their call, and if Chilcot doesn't find evidence of things that Blair etc.. can actually be prosecuted for (and lying isn't a crime...) then they're just going to look silly.

If it means more Steve Bell drawing Tim Farron, I am all for it.

If it means more Steve Bell drawing Tim Barron, I am all for it.

Farron. Tim Farron.

I don't know if this has been posted but the Daily Mirror is running a 'Should Jeremy go?' poll.

The DM, as you will remember, ran a huge banner headline yesterday or the day before, something to the effect 'Jeremy Corbyn You Must Go.'

Despite that, the poll is currently running 77% in favour of Jezza staying.

Corbyn the union puppet. The strings must be cut.

they really have fucked the dog and pissed on thier chips. If he does walk, and the stubborn old goat looks like he isn't but if he did, its still irreperable damage for the right faction of labour. Totaly lost it. Must have been watching game of thrones rather than politicking

Online polls aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

Thanks for that. There has been almost nothing in the news here about Chilcot and I hadn't link the two things until Salmond mentioned it.

Sort of agree in places, but Iraq was the Blairite legacy. Labour's right wing is inextricably bound up in its steaming entrails. If Chilcot comes close to describing Blair as a war criminal it'll hammer them as well.

It's testament to their private school bully temperaments that they think shit like this might play well with the public.

 

[chilango]

When can we expect to see the first plotters deselected?

They don't care about the public, they are utterly disconnected from the public

New New Labour

How about Not Labour?

 

[agricola]

Farron. Tim Farron.

I only wish I could have remained in that state of not knowing what his name was.

 

[maomao]

We're only on day 6 and so far Labour is actually on fucking fire and the Tories are quietly Getting On With Business.

The (very) optimistic reading of the current situation would be that the Labour right are destroying themselves while the Tories quietly discuss how exactly they're going to serve a shit sandwich to the British people that will see them never elected again.

 

[lefteri]

new labour can't possibly field a candidate that voted for the iraq invasion with chilcot about to hit the headlines, surely that's why corbyn's hanging in there

 

[J Ed]

How about Not Labour?

Something more apprentice like

Invictus?

Or

Labour (Progress)
Labour (Goldman Sachs)

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Jon Craig of Sky tweets:
"Some Labour MPs believe Corbyn clinging on to respond to Chilcot next week, apologise on behalf of Lab & call for Blair war crimes trial".

 

[butchersapron]

They've made sure deselection - mandatory or CLP mandated a reality. Genius types.

Chilcot is so irrelevant. I just don't get it. It's going to be bad for the PLP, but the idea that they're banding together (people who were never a member never mind an MP in 2001) is crazy.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Not to the "Westminster Bubble", it isn't! Which is the crowd these clowns are playing to.
