Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

Yep, and the same newspaper ran a headline in August 1934 - I kid you not - "Hurrah for the Blackshirts!"

Never entirely convinced this is all that much of a gotcha.

Here's the article by Rothermere which appeared in both the Daily Mirror and it's Sunday sister paper the Pictorial in January 1934. Unlike the Mail article this one helpfully provided the BUF's contact addresses.

The Mail are a pack of cunts and so are the Mirror but they haven't been as successful as they have for as long as they have without adapting to changed circumstances. In the Mirror's case this meant relaunching as a tabloid aimed at a working class audience. Cecil King, Rothermere's nephew, took over control of the Mirror.

"Our best hope," King later wrote in his memoirs, "was to appeal to young, working-class men and women... If this was the aim, the politics had to be made to match. In the depression of the thirties, there was no future in preaching right-wing politics to young people who were in the lowest income bracket."
quoted in Revealed: the fascist past of the Daily Mirror - Chris Horrie.

Of course later on the Mirror got taken over by a lovely socialist tycoon, Robert Maxwell, who established his own delightful dynasty...

Wow, it's so interesting reading that article. For many reasons, not least the part where he says once it was the Germans accusing our concentration camps of barbarity and how ridiculous it was that way around too.
 
Things that might fuck em

The economy tanking hard in 2021/2022 with mass unemployment

Brexit fallout multiplying the above

Scottish independence; they'll refuse a referendum creating a possible Catalan situation on their hands.

Completely screwing up the response to Coronavirus effectively killing thousands has barely hurt them. No unforced errors will hurt them unless there is an opposition doing their job.
 
So, is it the case that Corbyn hasn't been suspended yet, but Starmer has said he has been suspended, so the NEC are being asked to suspend him even though they are not being given a reason to? And this has come about because of a report criticising Labour for not following it's own procedures in disciplinary cases?

A reasonable summary? I don't know.

The main thing to remember is that the rules don't apply to the right, ever
 
So Starmer's breaking Labour's rules by interfering with anti-semitism case procedures, similar to what Corbyn is accused of?

Doesn't that make him an anti-semite? :confused:
