Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

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"
British public life played out as pretending to shake hands and then going to blow a raspberry. This is where we are at.
 
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"
"And I'm not, REPEAT NOT, tidying my front garden".
 
"Michael Gove's spokesman announced that their main priority would be to put a drawing pin on Theresa May's chair. After that there were options to do the setting fire to a bag of dogshit thing on her doorstep, but that it was important to listen to all voices in the debate"
 
By the by, has there been a single solitary defection of a Labour member to the libdems in all this?

No? So, officially, the libdems are still the worst political party on god's green earth.
I was just thinking along similar lines: what this really needs to take it up to the next level is some floor crossing, but given the circuses of the two main parties it's unlikely there's going to be any swapping sides there. So maybe some will jump ship to the fringes? UKIP must be looking positively calm and level to some Tories...
 
Although, they're probably all hanging around on the off-chance they end up as leader as either of the two parties, by virtue of stumbling into the wrong office at the wrong time.

"Nigel Farage welcomes refugees from the Conservative Party... oh, hang on"
 
Someone said he wants to go but won't because of some hard liner behind him, then I receive this. Good on him sticking to his guns and principals.

United we stand, divided we fall is one of the oldest and truest slogans of the Labour movement.

After last week's referendum, our country faces major challenges. Risks to the economy and living standards are growing. The public is split.

The Government is in disarray. Ministers have made it clear they have no exit plan, but are determined to make working people pay with a new round of cuts and tax rises.

Labour has the responsibility to give a lead where the Government will not. We need to bring people together, hold the Government to account, oppose austerity and set out a path to exit that will protect jobs and incomes.

To do that we need to stand together. Since I was elected leader of our party nine months ago, we have repeatedly defeated the Government over its attacks on living standards. Last month, Labour become the largest party in the local elections. In Thursday's referendum, a narrow majority voted to leave, but two thirds of Labour supporters backed our call for a Remain vote.

I was elected leader of our party, for a new kind of politics, by 60% of Labour members and supporters. The need for that different approach now is greater than ever.

Our people need Labour Party members, trade unionists and MPs to unite. As leader it is my continued commitment to dedicate our party's activity to that goal.
 
So, here's the latest one. It appears he is getting out there; so pleased

A quarter of a million of us voted for Jeremy Corbyn and his ideas just nine months ago, giving him the largest mandate of any party leader in Britain ever. Since then we have worked hard, winning for Labour, and taking a new kind of politics out into our communities.

So it’s been shocking to see that effort squandered by some MPs unable to accept Labour's decision, launching a determined and deeply undemocratic attempt to topple the leadership, in the middle of a national crisis.

Jeremy has made it clear that he’s standing firm. Now is the time for us to come together in support of Jeremy and his opposition to austerity and war with rallies and events in our local areas.

curious. I have the same statement, but with his name spelt correctly.

you on twitter? although I suppose they could have interrupted an email send out part way through and corrected it.

I would go to that bristol one tonight but am shut down due to armed siege. Really.

You could try selling that excuse to the defectors next week. They'll have run out of their own by then.
