It appears he is the mastermind behind JC. I reckon he could deliver a few knock out blows with a couple of well aimed polysyllablic smacks.
Having said that it has always been that the Home Office is the poisoned chalice so maybe something a little better for him.
I can't wait for the results and to watch the rats jump overboard.

Sheffield woman & lifetime Labour activist - now aged 90 - banned from the Labour leadership vote. It surely doesn't get any worse than this!

My mother-in-law, Win Francis, who has reached the ripe old age of 90 due to the hundreds of miles she has walked delivering leaflets for the Labour Party, has... just been informed she has been barred from voting.
Win joined the Labour Party in the 1940s and spent the next fifty years until she was in her eighties working night and day for the Labour Party. The local MP, who did not live in the constituency, stayed at her house when not in London and she was the mainstay in her local ward in Sheffield. She left the Labour Party in recent years but never joined any other party.

I think you mean Litvinov (the famous Litvinov Letter)

Litvinov wrote letters to Roosevelt. The forgery printed by the Daily Mail was 7inoviev.

My MP, saw him out with JC ( in the local wetherspoons, opposite The george Orwell now changed name..but one of the few claims to fame due to the said author's former residence, that Hayes has) a few years back.
That he was out in Hayes, means a street fighter, he must have been prepared to be.
Such is that bit of west london, down the Uxbridge road, Hayes, 15,000 majority for JM..two miles further, Uxbridge, you get Boris.
Who are you?

What do you reckon it was then? You on the electoral roll?

Shadow Chancellor? He was Chair of the GLC Finance Committee, which means he's probably better qualified than Osborne.It appears he is the mastermind behind JC. I reckon he could deliver a few knock out blows with a couple of well aimed polysyllablic smacks.

Have you been a member of any other boards in the past? Do you support the aims and values of U75?
I'm sure we can all pick out individual mistakes even the most competent politician has made. Look at what he's achieved instead.

He's a smoke and mirrors man. He's produced little of real substance. Rebranding the minimum wage as a "living wage" wasn't a master stroke: it was the genius of mendacity, spin and PR.

Never been a member of or actively campaigned for another political party, member of Unite for over 10 years. Am on the electoral roll.
No idea why it is, I did get a formal warning for replying to Liz for Leader e-mail spam with "Fuck off you disgusting Tory" but this should have no bearing on my membership.

I've read a few comments by mischief making Tories and wingnut intersectionalistas criticising Corbyn's support base for being 'too white' but in Sheffield AFAIK a lot of those campaigning for him come from the Yemeni community, pictures of his campaign stops elsewhere also show reasonably racially diverse crowds.

I was so tempted to do something similar but assumed that might get me purged so did not!

I just thought it was (anecdotally) what 'party leaders' did in Plymouth. You know 40 year old who'd been in the navy 30 years...and all that.

just made me think of something else!
he is a smoke and mirrors man, certainly. He's used smoke and mirrors to hide a breathtakingly fast transfer of public assets to private hands that even Thatcher would have baulked at, with only a fraction of the dissent she faced. Much of the ease they've been able to do it with is down to changes in society since Thatcher, but it'd be a mistake to think it's all just posh boys playing at it with shadowy figures in the background making the decisions. Osborne is that shadowy figure...

Newsnight had a focus group discussing the leadership last night, all people who could be persuaded to vote Labour(not too sure about that) it wasn't good for J/C, one women saying "he would attack the rich and that's not good" another that she "agreed with his policies, but wouldn't vote for him" Not one said he would make a good PM. Finkelstein remarked it was a similar focus group that approved of Cameron in 2010, I do wonder if its a bubble and another Michael Foot scenario awaits(though I think Corbyn will actually engage with some of these voters and his goal is not really electability , but enthusing and building opposition and agenda setting.)
just noticed that he is doing a 1000 seater today in Derby, maybe overspill, before over 1600 in Sheff later.
