Labour leadership

[Casually Red]

What a weird little story. The Tory walked off as if he had been caught doing something shameful and Crick and his camera crew pursued and questioned him (harassed him, frankly) as if he were some crooked time-share salesman tracked down for having tricked pensioners out of their life savings. Is it now considered strange and wrong to go to your opponents' public meetings?

Tbh he brought that on himself by his own behaviour . All he had to do was sit there and say " I'm a press officer..it's my job to be here ? What's your problem ? " . By carrying on like an exposed cowboy builder a d running away he opened the door . Because its cricks job to ask questions .

Internet vs Real world = huge difference.

real world just voted a leftie in for labour leader. You claim to have three quidded to the cause. You could have had a cone of chips and a can of stella. Its not you I feel for, you are grown and make your own decisions. Its the children. They'll be torn between clubbing together for ten benson or joining the labour party under a childs slate system. I fear for the future I really do.

Wasn't the point that he had signed up as a £3 Labour Party member, declaring he supports the principles and aims of the Labour Party?

That would be a fair point but didn't see it mentioned in the vid, seemed to be just because he was there.

I don't think I have, though I'm sure posters will find examples, I'm aware for instance the work you do around ATOs, etc, advice, etc, apologies if I have individualised it.

Apology accepted but could you please just lay off the breathless rhetoric for a bit when post? Or post in a way that doesn't assume nothing is being done. Thanks.

What they are concerned about is that an alternative narrative is being voiced compared to their usual propaganda. Both the BBC and Channel 4 news are evidently biased against Corbyn.

Yup . Useless cock waving , untalented wanker that he was , Russell Brand at least proved that there's a massive desire out there for something quite different to the consensus . While also proving many of those people , and himself , had no idea what they really wanted . Corbyn could well fit the bill forthat entire demographic . Which goes way beyond the usual Tory vs labour thing .
It caught on massively . It could well catch on some more .

That's not mentioned here in this article about it. Is it mentioned elsewhere?

According to the article, Crick just recognised him.

I thought when I saw the report on C4 News they had introduced it with a bit about various people including Tories joining the Labour Party to get a vote.

I love the haplessness of the spying. Reading a copy of the Daily Mail and answering to his name immediately.

 

[DotCommunist]

don't tell him your name pike

Well he certainly acted like he was guilty of something, the daft twat.

I do hope some idiot tories did fork out £3 and vote Corbyn.

They will not have changed the result. All they will have done is give him an even bigger victory and an even clearer mandate.

I know you're lying, but pretending for a second that you're not, I'll give you one of these

Yea,, cus you got the last election spot on!!!!!!!

He looks like he's been hit in the face with a wet copy of the Morning Star.

If only.

Those Old Etonians really don't like being denied their supposedly-rightful place in the world, do they?
The boy looks like a bulldog who's just sucked piss off of a thistle.

He was in Cambridge Footlights too. Almost everything that's wrong with this country is summed up in the body of Tristy.

What? No Roman salutes?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I'm willing to bet that if he survives as leader he'll become Prime Minister.

What are the odds?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I'll tell you once I lay my bet.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

What are the odds?

Ladbrokes are offering 8-1.

Very good odds, I would think.

 

[tony.c]

What are the odds?

Will be interesting to see what the bookies offer. If it's the 200/1 they were offering at the start on him becoming leader, I'll have a tenner on it.

 

[DotCommunist]

he was 40 to 1 for leader when this started, bet early bet often

 

[tony.c]

Ladbrokes are offering 8-1.

Very good odds, I would think.

I might have a punt on that too.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Six months ago, I reckon they'd have given you 1000-1, easy.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I might have a punt on that too.

Reckon that will change very quickly. They do realise he's now leader of the Labour Party? I think it still hasn't sunk in yet for some people.

I'm loving this article:

What the Corbyn moment means for the left

 

[treelover]

I'll tell you once I lay my bet.

I am deffo putting on a bet, not going to lose out like this time, some folk are going to be quids in.

This week Corbyn will have to determine new positions for the party on difficult issues, including plans for a lower benefit cap contained in the Tory welfare bill as well as appearing for the first time at prime minister’s questions.

from the Observer, why should it be a difficult issue?, its going to hammer the most vulnerable, JC has said he is not going to do the Blarite triangulation thing.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bet those odds will have halved by Monday.

It's difficult because the Observer is arch-Blairite now. They featured Blair on their front page last week warning about Corbyn. In their world, Labour doesn't oppose tory policies, it coopts them.

have many Labourites actually quit? IS there a list? Refusing to serve in a shadow cabinet, without being asked to, doesnt count
