Margaret Hodge: Labour MP 'disappointed' over reselection contest
Am I the only one to find this a little ironic, given that her priority in recent years seems to have been attacking Corbyn rather than the Tories?

Most MPs seem to wrongly assume that its their job and as such is theirs for life.
Whilst I’d be the first to campaign around job security and against precarity I think in the case of MPs Margaret and others have overlooked the democratic origins of the role.
The Chartists campaigned for annual parliaments where MPs would be held to regular democratic account. They also wanted the ability to recall MPs who went native and against the class interest.
Anything that moves us back towards those inviolable principles (for MPs - and trade union bosses I’d argue) of the movement would surely be supported by Margaret and others who constantly claim they want ‘their Labour Party’ back?

No, you're most definitely not!
Including referring to Corbyn as a 'fucking anti-semite' IIRC.
Puffed by Harman too. Along with bloody Dromey, surely these doddering liberals are an utter irrelevance - purge the fuckers.

I heard that. It wasn't a terrible interview but it was pretty hostile. Anyone who reflexively says "oh but they treat everyone like that" should listen to the absurdly chummy interview with Farage just a few minutes after that.

I was wondering why there was so little furore over this until I saw that it was the right in Barking that launched and supported the trigger ballot.
Finally recognising her for the liability she is or is it someone with ambitions taking advantage of her weakness?

It is thought that much of his work outing child rapists was a blinder, designed to shield high up culprits.

What are those thoughts based on though? Watson's misstep over westminster paedo rings could have ended his career, and I wouldn't be surprised if - once his usefulness in destabilising Corbyn has come to an end - if it still comes back to bite him. The idea he did that as some sort of cover for his nonce friends seems a bit of a stretch to me.
I just got a call from a private number on my phone, I usually don't bother answering but I did this time and it was Meg Hillier, my old labour mp! She was just calling for a chat, I never done any labour party stuff at all but I was a £3 member/union member for a while a couple of years ago but I think it expired, well she said it had expired anyway. Apparently the word in parliament is there prob won't be an election till next year now... we had a good talk, about how i thought labour was doing etc, but it turned out my new postcode means she isn't my MP any more so Dianne Abbott should be calling me.
Was a pretty surreal evening really. this is all 100% true.
Made me feel like doing some vote knocking this time round.

If Corbyn rang, twenty minutes in you still wouldn't have a clue if he wanted you door knocking or not.

I got to say it genuinely made me feel pretty good that my MP actually personally phoned me and talked for quite a while, well mainly listened to me actually... like at least she asked how I was rather than doing a load of ranting like you see them do all over the news, that everyone is sick of. It also made me think "fair play being working on the phones at 8pm rather than down the parliament bar"

thats what Nigel Farage does well on his radio show: he gives people the feeling they are being listened to..... and not in a patronising "I hear what you're saying" way, but in a way that feels a bit more between equals. i mean it is bullshit of course, but if it was actually genuine it would be a good way forward.
Skwawkbox have published (then quickly deleted) Andrew Fisher's full resignation letter in a totally insane attempt to defend Karie Murphy from some internal bollocks. It doesn't make joyful reading tbh - archived here:
