Mate, that's about as sinister as Pingu.
It's an example of everyday people enacting the wider democracy that the current Labour leadership is built on. I don't understand how people can be against that?
Reads to me like “ rescind or your career is over “
Possibly, but she works for them after all. It's their call who they want representing them. I think that makes a nice change from the old ways of Blair parachuting in his cronies personally, but maybe I'm out of touch.
It’s open to interpretation, but the way that reads to me is - tow the party line or else.
Which is threatening.

I am a rare visitor to this thread, but am I incorrect in saying that there is a undercurrent within the party that would happily deselect any MP not fully signed up to Corbyn, then more than happy to replace that MP with one that meets their approval?
Seems two sides of the same coin if so.

Sinister in what way? That they had to reign her in?

It isn't about Corbyn it's about policy which has gone through due process.
Why would Corbyn agitate for a no confidence move now ? The tories are in a mess... Theresa May is treading water and at danger of sinking fast.... they are trying to deliver a Brexit that the leave vote don’t want and are clueless on how to deliver anything else remotely acceptable to the UK. Surely the smart move is the long game.... let the tories sink further and backstab each other... let them try and deliver an impossible form of Brexit that 52% of the people voted for... and then... when the dust settles and the country are totally disillusioned by the tories make your move and agitate for a general election

Fair dos. If she has gone against the party line, and if she is part of the shadow cabinet, thats a no go.
But if she is a back bencher, then surely a serial rebel like Corbyn would understand dissent?
Berger knows exactly what she's doing and what the outcome of Corbyn tabling a motion of no confidence would be. As do the SNP. They're all capable of simple maths.

It would be more correct to say there is an undercurrent within the party that thinks that Corbynites would happily deselect any MP not fully signed up to Corbyn, then more than happy to replace that MP with one that meets their approval.
I mean, we are more than three years into the Corbyn era and there have been no deselections, even of MPs who emphatically deserved to be deselected with extreme prejudice like Danczuk.
Yep, as per usual this has been made to be about the perception of Jeremy Corbyn than it is about the party, policy or the issues involved, and that is the way certain folk want to keep it

Fair enough. Like I said, a rare visitor, but its just that I recalled a post from someone along the lines of "bring it on", deselection that is.
