Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[FabricLiveBaby!]

LOL. You can't pay for this kind of entertainment.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Miliband isn't ever coming back, it's just something idiots who think they have some kind of deep political insight like to moot at times like this.

Ha Ha, I'm guilty in the past but who knows ? it looks increasingly unlikely I agree.

 

[ViolentPanda]

That's it. Game over. Ball is not in your court, you are off the fucking court. Get out the park too.

Out of the park, and into the fucking sea!

 

[butchersapron]

LOL. You can't pat for this kind of entertainment.

Can't even retreat in good order - will turn on self.

 

[sheothebudworths]

That's hilarious!

 

[a_chap]

I'm still seeing stuff like this...



Given that they really don't give a fuck what the members think - and that they're now desperate - is there any reason to think that they'll give up on pursuing this as far as they can (knowing that he'd be very lucky to get 50 noms)?
Or is it just bollocks?

I asked pretty much the same question about fifty pages ago Sheo...

The plotters must be convinced Corbyn can't automatically be on the ballot paper, but no-one seems to know.

 

[butchersapron]

No one could even stand before an election anyway. This is getting very odd. I refuse to cross the barriers of time.

 

[Biscuitician]

Apparently even David Cameron thinks he should resign!

Oh and some pasty faced goon called Ed

I do, they do. We do.

I doubt they're convinced but it's still worth them plugging away at it as the only possible way out now - and as quimcunx says, just having more time passing is potentially also a huge benefit to them (or at least less of a benefit to Corbyn).
Would be interested in hearing someone answer her questions re deselection and time scales for that - whether he has that option at any point he chooses, should they attempt to try and drag it out for too long?

Isn't it really her just hissing over her shoulder that she doesn't want to do it on her own ' '

 

[butchersapron]

deselection will have to pass at conference, so ages. Unless a extraordinary conf is called now and passes rule to make it happen this week.

Charge, oh where they all gone? Shit.

 

[binka]

So if Corbyn sees off the immediate threat of a new leadership election what is his next move?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Worst. Coup. Ever.

 

[ViolentPanda]

When can we expect to see the first plotters deselected?

If Corbyn wins this, then he does so with an implicit mandate for structural change that he didn't have last time around. As I've said since the leadership contest, it'd take time - lots of levels of party bureaucracy to navigate through and perhaps erase - but could show results at constituency level (that is, constitutional changes that could be acted on - within 6 months. Maybe less, if Conference's format is revised back to "talking shop" rather than "media grandstanding opportunity".

I have a copy of the labour party rulebook here - I posted the relevant section upthread: as far as I can tell, there's no formal way of forcing deselections at this point, and maybe not at all in the event of an early election. I'm of the view that CLPs moving votes of no confidence in their MP would make it politically very difficult for them to stand with any legitimacy though, and there may be other routes available to the leadership - a Stalinist purge for example.

Thanks.

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

I have hypnotised myself to replace his surname in my consciousness with "nice-but-dim".

Bah! I can't see it on Tapatalk

I remember there was talk of clarifying the line, which was part of the motivation for acting when they did (on long term grumbling point of view not referendum) but the line as is, is a lawyers classic- open to interpretation.-the party probably would never survive that sort of chaotic feud.

As is, neither Watson nor Eagle is rushing to stand, and unless there is someone desperate to be Cunty MacCuntface, Jeremy should limp to what must have been his dream next Wednesday -official opposition response to Chilcot. The vultures, would do well to perch for a bit.

Ah. So it's fair to say that it really is their best/only bet to delay for as long as possible via the legal investigation blah blah and just try to wear him down in the meantime? There's nothing he can do to force their hand now except to wait it out?

 

[Rob Ray]

McDonnell's enjoying himself now:

We call ourselves comrades in the Labour party.

Angela Eagle will NOT challenge Jeremy Corbyn. She will only stand when/if there is a contest. "It's a Mexican stand-off", says senior MP.

 

[killer b]

if anyone else wants a dig through, the rules are here btw

Rule Book 2016.pdf

 

[killer b]

Surely Eagle's just saying she'll throw her hat in the ring once/if someone else has triggered a contest? Wasn't Margaret Hodge supposed to be cracking on with that?

 

[Mr Moose]

Apparently even David Cameron thinks he should resign!

That Pasty faced goon Ed you were all backing 18 months ago in the face of treachery?

Yep.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

If they do parachute the other Milliband into Jo Cox's constituency, how do you think that'd go down with the membership I wonder?

Feels like pretty poor taste under the circumstances.

 

[killer b]

It's just not going to happen, so it's not really worth thinking about.
