Me neither - maybe we should bring some sort of legal challenge.
Can anyone suggest a lawyer who might be prepared to do a bit of pro bono work, ideally one with a working knowledge of the electoral system?

Such an elaborate plan seems a bit beyond them tbfI wonder whether they're stopping enough people voting so that there's a legal challenge and the election has to be scrapped
It's by email you know.... at least mine was.

I think that's a reasonable suspicion, but surely they'll have to choose a leader at some point, and presumably by the current procedures. Corbyn has already been nominated, so it's difficult to see how they can exclude him, though that doesn't mean they won't try.
I don't think it was set up as a scam for money, I just think someone is panicking now someone they don't want looks like winning.Yep even I wasnt so cynical as to believe the £3 thing was little more than a scam to get people to pay money to the party (i take it nobodys had their £3 given back?) Seems i was wrong though. I laugh but this is a total shambles

And I think they're on very dodgy ground stopping people from voting. Isn't the only question someone has to answer "Do you agree with the aims of the Labour Party?" and surely only needs the answer "Well if Corbyn is elected as leader yes, because I think he believes in them too". They'd have to come up with something that contradicts this.

Hardly getting over it.
I've never heard Loach or Steel voice anti-Labour sentiments.
What I have heard them voice is complaints about the ideology of the MPs and councillors who supposedly represent Labour, and the shift rightward such ideologies have manifested in those representatives.

The £3ers (and the union votes, iirc) are all by email, it's only members who have the choice of a paper ballot or doing it online.
I had my email the other day but my son's yet to receive his ballot paper. It says somewhere on the LP website that the closer an application was to the cut off date, the later the papers/emails would be received but it also suggests calling them if you've had nothing by the 24th (although somewhere else it says they'll still be arriving into September).

What was it Blair said recently? "I'd rather the LP lost the election than were elected on a left manifesto" or words to that effect

Probably trying to decide whether your local eco-activism makes you some kind of ultra-greenie entryist.

I registered through my union fairly close to the cut off date, so I won't take the fact I haven't heard anything yet as significant.
Maybe I'll get my rejection E-mail on Monday

No amount of cajolery...
Have you joined then? Just confused because of some of your posts.

I think it's shitty what they are doing to thousands of Labour Party members and supporters, but Loach always was someone who viewed the Labour Party after the fashion of that old famous quote from Lenin. He really shouldn't be that surprised that he got the knock back.

I signed up for free through Unite. I haven't yet decided if I'm actually going to vote.
ETA I was kind of inspired by the news that Harman was going to get MPs to check out new subscribers in their constituencies - thought I'd find out if David Lammy had me on his shit list
If you decide not to vote then you should vote corbyn to take the place of one of the people whose vote has been blocked.I signed up for free through Unite. I haven't yet decided if I'm actually going to vote.

I've seen some pretty lazy smears in my time but last night's attempt by Channel 4 News was right up there with them.

Yipchaa!
That's the thing, isn't it. Who is getting to decide what Labour aims and values are, and which members do or do not subscribe to them? There's a quite clear ideological split in the party, so to talk of aims and values is to talk of the very things that are being debated and voted on!
it is a perfect catch 22.
