Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Smokeandsteam]

Jeremy voted against the Government (and the Labour whip) yesterday. It’s not clear why he thinks the measures are not needed.



some interesting company he was in, including the noxious John Spellar:

Not to mention a load of tories

 

[FridgeMagnet]

To be fair there's no particular reason he should vote with the whip given he's still suspended from it.

I don't think he's said they aren't necessary, just that they aren't appropriately resourced - and let's be fair, rebelling against the labour whip, and keeping odious company while mouthing platitudes isn't exactly a career departure for Corbyn....

(And since when do politicians get called by their first names like friends?)

he isn't rebelling against the whip though is he

The labour party is riddled with odious company

Not being a labour mp...

He said the measures ‘are not what is needed’. No disagreement from me on the lack of resources, mass testing programmes, measures to alleviate the significant slide into poverty. But, if you speak to health care workers they’ll tell you the measures are very much needed.

Sorry, for the slightly mocking use of ‘Jeremy‘.

By the measures you mean the tory tiers

I think, or maybe it's hope, that he's suggesting the measures aren't sufficient rather than unnecessarily stringent, but he could certainly have made that clearer if it's what he means.

Yes, it’s completely unclear to me as well.

He’s spot on about the lack of help for ordinary people losing their jobs, wages and the mental health toll. But that’s why Labour abstained isn’t it?

Given he’s taking legal action to have the Labour whip restored, he must have good reasons for his position on the measures which he should spell out.

non sequitur

 

[Shechemite]

unfortunately, she's right some of the time - and there' no conspiracy here, it's all in plain sight, as is so often the case

Hmmm

 

[cantsin]

yep, just the kind of grim drivel that make's me not follow her or Canary, + quietly ask fellow CLP ers not to repost their content on our FBs etc

 

[ska invita]

Hmmm

sorry do you mind expanding on this - ive no idea what is going on here


btw I do wonder if Corbyn might crack at some point - what he's going through is traumatising

He should probably just retire tbh. He ended up as leader (despite not really being suited to it) more by circumstance than anything else and has been put through the wringer for several years as a result. At this point the continuing focus on him isn't helping anyone and particularly not himself I expect.

I've wondered about this for some time. His time as leader must have been so exhausting and just when he thought it might calm down a bit his own party turns on him. Viciousness is the only word for it.

 

[killer b]

There won't be any leftwing labour MPs retiring while these guys are in charge. Imagine the by-election, jesus.

 

[Idris2002]

Could he hand over his seat to a reliable person, if he resigned? Or would it be swiped by the bad guys?

The leadership can overrule the CLP and parachute in some lickspittle can they not?

One would hope that the lickspittle would be crushed by a local independent labour person, but. . .

 

[killer b]

The CLP might have different ideas too - it's a mistake to assume Corbyn can just name his successor and everyone will go along with it - there would be a LOT of competition for his seat.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I don't think he actually will retire btw - he's way too stubborn. I just think for his own wellbeing he'd be better off spending more time with his allotment.

he loves the local MP work tbh, and is good at it, still

Must be pretty stressful having the world’s most embarrassing brother too.

His party turned on him on 12.9.15

Yeah, he might have thought saying AS was dramatically overstated by his opponents on the day the report was released would calm things down a bit alright.

Everyone knows he would have been condemned by people in the labour party whatever he said or if he'd stayed quiet. And you'd have been posting bile about him no matter what he did.
