As if the Times and Telegraph would report accurately about the Labour party, maybe they should concentrate on the splits in the Cabinet over Brexit, Austerity, Pay Rises for public workers , Tuition fees etc

Seriously.. what is going on then with this deselection and by-passing of the PLP in leader selection then??

The Mirror (usually seen as pro-Labour) also reports Labour Party Chairman Ian Lavery's comments...

What about the Tory leader who got them their biggest ever victory being treated like this ? It's shameful

The right of the party used every dirty trick they had against Corbyn. The suspensions from the party by McNicoll and his team were a disgrace. 49 MPs who were happy to stand on the manifesto two weeks ago then voted against the whip on of the pledges in it. There needs to be some democratic conntrol over the party. Personally I think there are a few (and I mean few) MPs who need to be deselected. Frankly, if they had any integrity, they'd have resigned anyway.

[MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] wanted Kyle deselected for being a traitor/red Tory. Is that a commonheld view?

Fairly. His crimes are 1) the vote I mentioned 2) voting to bomb Syria 3) saying during his campaign that a vote for him was not a vote for Corbyn 4) the support of Ivor Caplan does him no favours. He's got a real enemy in Greg Hadfield the suspended chair of Brighton Labour. Personally I think he's a good constituency MP and I'm pretty sanguin about his crimes as indeed was Corbyn. .

A millionaire stands with a millionaire to tell kids who can afford £230 tickets to see millionaires sing, that capitalism has failed them. :facepalm:

I'd describe it as excellent rather than shameful.

She has to go.

did you read it? the suggestion is May stays on for about 2 years, takes any flak for anything negative with Brexit. this would give the incoming leader 3 years to electioneer.

funny thing is i recall alot of talk pre-election about a similar timeline for Corbyn, how he'd probably stand down once a number of internal changes, the purge of the Blairites, NEC decision process etc. this election result doesnt seem to have halted that plan for silenced his critics in the party.

Hundreds of workers from across Europe were fired after just two days after expecting two weeks of paid employment litter picking.Three quarters were left stranded and out of pocket in the Somerset countryside.Workers were on zero hour contracts,ironic after Corbyn stood alongside Michael Eavis and said "young people need not accept low wages and insecurity as part of life.

Seems the Labour Party hardly know either:

Labour's press release announces jobs for Gloria Di Piero, Rachel Maskell and Tracey Brabin. It's "De Piero", "Rachael" and "Tracy".

I think it's pretty obvious from my post that others regard these as crimes against the party, not me, but I guess if you're a bit thick you could mid-read it. Perhaps I should have put the second "crimes" in quotation marks to make it really obvious for the hard of thinking.

Not sure how you recover from being a vile, talentless hypocrite but who knows?

You join a group of similarly affected individuals.
In her case the House of Commons.
