Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[killer b]

She's 'paused' her challenge as it's the tories news day today or something .

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

When we heard him mumbling “CRUMBS!” we just thought he was being a delightful throwback to the days of Billy Bunter and Enid Blyton and lashings of ginger beer; turns out that was his genuine objective for the country

Do not gove gently into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of... nope, can't think of a rhyme.

 

[butchersapron]

Other than choker Eagle's cancelled announcement?

Missed it had been cancelled. Did they/she formally say this? I saw the people saying it was likely earlier but nothing proper.

Terrible when the film gets stuck on pause, even if we do know how it ends.

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

In Xanadu did Kubla gove a stately twitterdome decree

BBC has some story that she's delayed to give Corbyn time to resign

ETA Eagle may delay leader bid 'to give Corbyn time to quit' - BBC News though I see that's "may"

THE EAGLE HAS GROUNDED

Worst Michael Caine sequel ever

 

[butchersapron]

Note the names:

Asked if she was launching a leadership bid as she left home earlier, Ms Eagle said: "I will be saying something later today."
But a source close to her has told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg: "Jeremy Corbyn still has time to do the right thing."

Got 8 hours to say something. I reckon that you better.

edit: also, worst threat ever.

The BBC have this headline...

Eagle may delay leader bid 'to give Corbyn time to quit'

LOL

So has it been confirmed that the announcement to confirm that she would be pausing the confirmation of her leadership challenge has been paused?

Sir Humphrey territory...

 

[Wilf]

This is funny as fucking fuck.

the eagle cannot hear the eagler
the moderates cannot hold
mere social democracy is loosed
and eveywhere the ceremony
of democracy is drowned.

I'm delaying my shot at the IBF title to give Joshua time to quit.

 

[YouSir]

Fuck.

Had an email from Labour, signed off by Corbyn. Basic gist is be united and I'm not going anywhere, so fuck 'em.

I just hope the likes of Milne realise that they will never get a better chance to get his points across in the media - every speech, press conference etc is going to be fully attended and covered live.

I suspect Laura Kuenssberg is going to regret having giving Angela her mobile number:
"it's me again, I might be standing after I've had me tea"
- oh, err, right, erm, thanks for the 'scoop'.

Oy! Now my Karl Marx witticism looks like a random announcement of my right-wingness

A southerner bleating on about Man Utd. Is there no depths for this man?

I employed the newly patented Gove "line them up, then pull the rug from under them" tactic

"it's me again, I might be resigning after I've had me tea"

I think I would pledge undying loyalty to any politician who uttered this phrase.

Ibrahimovic breaches the new border controls claiming he has skills vital to the economy United push for top 4.

This whole business, on both sides, really has jumped the shark. I started out somewhat concerned about the social and political ramifications of it all. At this point it's just, crack open the beer and dry-roasted and settle down to enjoy.

With the euros over for England it's nice to have some other utterly pointless contests to focus on.

 

[Wilf]

Fucking hell, I just haven't got a serious post in me. Brass Eye takes over public life. Astonishing.

 

[Sifta]

Corbyn should now counter attack with "I'm seriously considering jacking it in - give me a few quiet days to think about it", have a nice weekend, then come back next week with "No, think I'll stay after all"

Beaten to it and you said it better.
