Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Treacle Toes]

Are you feeling better Rutita1?

Don't push your luck!

 

[Rob Ray]

Back on the anti-semitism bandwagon with a vengeance, MPs briefing left and right atm about Corbyn basically being an anti-semite because he didn't give some shouty prick who had a go at Ruth Smeeth the old one-two.

 

[Ole]

Michael Foot, Anthony Crosland, Tony Benn, Denis Healey, Roy Jenkins and James Callaghan.

Quite a roster. It's jarring when you compare the solid right-wing of Labour in that period to what is literally described as "centre-left" of Labour today, remarkable how much the terms of conversation in Labour are now set entirely by business.

Some quietly spoken prick, more like.

Labour plotters HQ this morning:

"Hey guys... We've fucked it... What else is there?"

"What's worked best so far?"

"Antisemitism?"

"ANTISEMITISM!!!“

It really is this - this is exactly it.

which meeting?

300 plus Momentum meeting in Sheff.

Here's another take on what happened: Labour activist who berated MP Ruth Smeeth says he did not know she was Jewish and denies Momentum links

Ah - Marc Wadsworth, he who twatted Ken Livingstone many moons ago

 

[Santino]

Why is that video 29 seconds long?

Things don't seem to go too well for former mayors of London. Khan had better watch his step - and poor old Dick Whittington is entirely fucked.

 

[SaskiaJayne]

That's more like it Jez, now you need to tell people leave was the right decision.

Why is that video 29 seconds long?

I wondered the same thing but then I decided to commit 29 seconds of my life to watching it and finding out

I watched it and I still don't know.

Oh.

Jonathan Powell, former aide to Tony Blair.

That's the Scottish and English working class support gone then leaving them to the SNP and UKIP.

It shows who Marc Wadsworth is and reports usefully on this story. Note also the words "fleet street concocted firestorm"

BROKEN BRITAIN

 

[JimW]

BROKEN BRITAIN

Which, as it turns out, was Johnson's campaign strategy.

 

[billy_bob]

Gove, Gove burning bright in the forests of the shite.

What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful leadership try

 

[Wilf]

What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful leadership try

The Mayor stood on the burning deck, the flames he couldn't swat 'em,
A gove shot up his trouser leg and burned him on the bottom.

 

[JimW]

Rough winds do tout the early odds for May
But that bummer's lease has all too short a date.

FWIW here’s my take on things. The 172 (for want of a better phrase) were banking on Corbyn standing down. Then there would then be a leadership election with several candidates.

Once he refused to budge there was something of a panic. Rather than the 172 deciding who should go forward as the best person to beat him it rapidly became who would be prepared to commit political suicide to take him on.

As possibly one of the main plotters the charisma-free zone that is Eagle probably had to do it to save face on the basis that “you helped us get in this mess” even though she knows the challenge is doomed.

Perhaps the only hope they have is that Corbyn is barred from contesting the election as of right. If he is then all the other potential candidates will declare.

I suspect both parties are busily consulting lawyers on the constitutional position. Perhaps Eagle is delaying her announcement pending legal advice.

I think that even if Corbyn is barred (and I think that would likely be open to legal challenge) Eagle still won’t win the leadership.

Her main pitch will be “it’s about time the Party had a woman leader” but it won’t be enough. The members and the unions will see to that.

I also think this will be the end of her career as an MP and she won’t stand again. Just a hunch.

We really do need to start the quest to fix an official alt meaning for the word 'gove'.

I still can't hear the name 'Rick Santorum' without thinking 'anal froth' (although the funny thing is, that was the case even before his surname was redefined thus).

I wandered, lonely as a Fox,
That floats on lies despite my fails and polls.

We were promised her leadership guff at 3pm. Where is it?

Here's the bit about Wadsworth from Livingstone's autobiog:



Here's Duwayne Brooks mentioning similar:

Other than choker Eagle's cancelled announcement?
