The Jeremy Corbyn thread

[NooBHA]

I agree, but the Gang of Four were a minority akin to the People's Front of Judea. This could possibly split the party into two halves, indeed given the chasm between 'heartland' Labour and 'metropolitan' Labour it could be argued that a split is more likely than not. (Not that I AM arguing that, but it is a possibility).

That might be true but who is splitting it. Not Corbyn..........The protesters are..

Jeremy Corbyn has now openly said to them now that he is willing to accept another leadership fight. I am a Corbyn fan and I would happily accept that if he lost a Leadership challenge then he has to go but by the same token if he wins then everyone should get behind him.

We keep saying we are Democratic. If that's the case lets have a Vote to establish whether he still has Party Members behind him or not

What happened to the Gang of 4 ? They couldn't work with Michael Foot so they left and set up their own party , so why aren't this rabble doing so ?

28 leavers is hardly a rabble.

Anyway please stay on Mr Corbyn as you will have zero chance of winning an election

Poor old Jezza,stuck there until they found somebody better.Unfortunately,Milliband the electable is still in New York,looking for the toys he chucked out!

Funny all these comments from the Tories who won't vote Labour even if a MONKEY with a blue rosette stood as the Conservative candidate

 

[Buzzer]

Exactly, none of them are likely to be missed. Let them stand as their own party and true socialist members of the Labour Party can stand against them, they wouldn't dare as they know they will be wiped out

I reckon those MPs have a far greater right to the party than the 250,000-odd £3 day trippers who joined last year. Those MPs have each got decades of campaigning behind them, knocking on doors, attending meetings, hustings, surgeries and the like. An ability to sign an online petition and tweet abuse at 'Red Tories' is no substitute for real political campaigning.

Angela Eagle, one of JC's closest allies just said that she asked to see JC yesterday but got zero response for 24 hours. JC is obviously rattled.

You stick Umunna and Jarvis up as your main two and I'd vote for them. Anyway, if you're trying to take the moral high ground here tell us your credentials then that give you the right to tell those MPs to leave the Labour Party?

Chucker BOTTLED out of standing against Comrade Corbyn last year, Jarvis is a NOBODY so who'd vote for them apart from YOU ? As a MEMBER of the Labour Party I am entitled for my opinion on what is going on

Do the random CAPITALS mean this is a JOKE? It is getting hard to tell.

 

[ROSM]

You could argue that the gang of 4 achieved more for Labour than they're given credit for.

The sdp was probably the biggest single cause of new labour which for the Iraq war on the negative, achieved much more socialist delivery than a corbyn led labour ever will.

When they were swallowed up by the libs it enforced a shift to the centre by socialists frustrated at losing elections with philosophical radical left wing ideals that didn't appeal beyond their core 32% of the electorate

Ah right gotcha. You're a member of the Labour Party so you've a right to fight for a type of Labour Party that you believe in. But Angela Eagle doesn't.

 

[ROSM]

I don't recall seeing many of those who called me blue labour or red tory, out canvassing during this referendum.

Were people canvassing ? I didn't see anyone from either side out and about until Thursday afternoon when it was a bit late

Angela has been only a member of the Labour party for forty years.

What is the Labour front bench going to look like during the PMs statement / debate at 15:30 ??

 

[Goldstone1976]

Did the Eagles leave it so late to resign because they could check out any time they liked but they could never leave?

 

[Bladders]

He had to scrape the barrel when he was first elected, dread to think what his Division 2 cabinet will look like.
