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?

If she was a lone, conscience objector then perhaps, but she isn't, she's part of a well documented group trying to destabilise for its own intent, lead ironically by her ex partner big Chukka.

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.

If we get to the stage where he has won a GE and they are still doing it, it will probably have to happen. I was just trying to point out that the belief that he is trying to deselect his enemies is not one that is really based on any fact.

FWIW its worth pointing out that Corbyn, even at his most rebellious, voted with Labour 74.9% of the time. It is also worth posting what he actually rebelled on:

  • Jeremy Corbyn consistently voted against introducing foundation hospitals, while most Labour MPs generally voted for. Show votes
  • Jeremy Corbyn almost always voted against Labour's anti-terrorism laws, while most Labour MPs generally voted for. Show votes
  • Jeremy Corbyn consistently voted against the Iraq war, while most Labour MPs generally voted for. Show votes
  • Jeremy Corbyn generally voted for investigations into the Iraq war, while most Labour MPs almost always voted against. Show votes
  • Jeremy Corbyn generally voted against introducing ID cards, while most Labour MPs almost always voted for. Show votes
  • Jeremy Corbyn generally voted against allowing ministers to intervene in inquests, while most Labour MPs almost always voted for. Show votes
  • Jeremy Corbyn generally voted against requiring the mass retention of information about communications, while most Labour MPs generally voted for. Show votes

TBF the rumours about them two was when they were both MPs, the rumours before she was elected in Wavertree was that she and Euan Blair were an item.

Here's some more things he rebelled on:


  • Jeremy Corbyn voted for Britain to leave the European Economic Community (EEC) in the 1975 European referendum.
  • Jeremy Corbyn opposed the creation of the European Union (EU) under the Maastricht Treaty – speaking and voting against it in Parliament in 1993. During the 2016 referendum campaign, Left Leave highlighted repeated speeches he made in Parliament opposing Europe during 1993.
  • Jeremy Corbyn voted against the Lisbon Treaty on more than one occasion in Parliament in 2008.
  • In 2010, Jeremy Corbyn voted against the creation of the European Union’s diplomatic service.
  • Jeremy Corbyn voted for a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU in 2011 (breaking the Labour whip to do so).
  • In 2011 Jeremy Corbyn also opposed the creation of the EU’s European Stability Mechanism, which helps members of the Euro in financial difficulties. (This vote is a good example of how Corbyn votes with hardcore Euro-sceptics. Only 26 other MPs joined him in voting against, and in their number are the likes of right-wing Euro-sceptics such as Peter Bone, Douglas Carswell, Bill Cash, Ian Paisley and John Redwood.)
