Labour leadership

[teqniq]

Yes I thought it odd that the union number is optional

[Brainaddict]

Right that's it i'm gonna do it.

I've just done the same - for free as I'm in a union. I thought I didn't care about this, but this parade of scum, headed by Cunt-in-Chief Blair, have convinced me I do care. Are hatred and revenge bad motivations? Maybe, but it feels so good

I feel a bit sorry for Corbyn - he seems a decent sort and he's gonna get eaten alive. But hey, he went into professional politics. True revolutionaries must use and discard their leaders without pity

 

[butchersapron]

Twenty years worth of wind in the sails of the labour party is worth saving/is the only one that can save us etc

So, er..thanks for that everyone.

He'd certainly better check the skeletons in his closet. It's a largely political attack on him at the moment, but its' going to get personal.

I'm not even under the illusion that he can lead the party in any reasonably functional way. I think people hoping he can are going to be disappointed. The Labour he would lead doesn't exist.

To butchers, I suspect this will finally prove beyond doubt that the Labour party absolutely can't be saved. We'll see I guess.

I don't think anyone here is saying that. This is simply a chance to punch these pricks in the nose, even just a little bit. I'll happily fork out the cost of less than a pint to do that.

The same way the 81 leadership and deputy election did? The 94 leadership election? Nah, these activist types are always going to chase after this nonsense, every time.

Nevertheless this is what will happen - it already is. The whole thing can only be based on this - this homecoming.

It's cheaper entertainment than the cinema tbf.

Do you know something more?

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Nah, these activist types are always going to chase after this nonsense, every time.

In a nutshell.

 

[Wilf]

Do you know something more?

No, not at all. Just that the arteries of new lab were the links between the blairites and the press. I'm guessing something real or invented will be deployed against him if his 'lead' continues.

 

[chilango]

...and, being thoughtful for one moment, it matters not that this circus may entrance the few thousand dreamers into more Labour led fantasies, change isn't coming from or through them anyway.

Change, when it comes, is coming from somewhere else. Somewhere that isn't busy watching this sideshow.

 

[Wilf]

Nevertheless this is what will happen - it already is. The whole thing can only be based on this - this homecoming.

Yes, it's the same delusion. However for me, remaining in the party after 80% of it's mps voted for the welfare bill means you are something worse - a cunt.

The British public is ideologically committed to nationalisation

In CityAM of all places, food for thought for the candidates

 

[chilango]

Oh, is A Very British Coup online anywhere?

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

This is... special. Is the likes of Kay Burley really what appeals these days?

My God Kay Burley is thick!

 

[J Ed]

My God Kay Burley is thick!

She is just terrible

 

[brogdale]

She is just terrible

She's so right-wing she could have gone for Robinson's (Kuenssberg's) post at the BBC.

 

[J Ed]

Reporting as part of Sky News's coverage of the September 11 attacks in Manhattan, Burley claimed that "the entire eastern seaboard of the United States has been decimated by a terrorist attack"

Jeremy Corbyn bought me a coffee on an anti-war march just outside the American Embassy.

"Corbyn in new expenses scandal"

Does anyone know why Chucky's in Washington? Apparently he's there to give a speech but to whom?

[pinkychukkles]

Right that's it i'm gonna do it.

I'm in too - the force is strong with Jedi Corbyn.

"Corbyn in new expenses scandal"

he's the lowest expense claimer in the country ACTUALLY

 

[Lord Camomile]

he's the lowest expense claimer in the country ACTUALLY

So he does it all off the books, is what you're saying?

 

[Wilf]

he's the lowest expense claimer in the country ACTUALLY

How can he have any credibility with business if he doesn't rip the taxpayer off?

 

[weepiper]

It's a football mascot. I'm not sure of its pertinence here, aside from the fact it's a little ridiculous.

e2a: Partick Thistle, to be precise.

Broon's team?

guess it's an SNP ref?

Mhairi Black's team.

In the star and garter pub in maryhill ... Where the thistle 'ultras' drink (of the north stand) ... Pub also runs a Celtic supporters bus too ...
