Sorry, what? Is 5 the same as 180 now?

Edit: sorry, 7

You missed my point - Labour polled high against the Tories because they have many centre-left supporters. Following the split, they will now be viewed as a purely far left party by many labour voters and will lose that support. This will only make it harder if not impossible to win the next GE.

So he hadn’t been pushed out then

Yes, yes has. The same with the councillors from Luton. They’ve been deselected for the local elections in May

... which just means they won’t be the Labour candidate.

Agreed. The Blairites have made it fundamentally clear that they would prefer a Tory government to a Labour one with real Labour policies.

So, an older person who has worked their entire life in a manual job earning enough to get-by decides that in retirement they want to serve their community by being a councillor and as such need to travel to various locations across the region to support their constituents needs and you think this should come out of their pension?? Marvellous

Ok, which part of your description there refers to Ron Abbey?

Which goes back to my point. You go against the wave of loony left and lose your seat. Democracy in its finest

Panama and Saudi Arabia added to list of money laundering violators

The EU added several new territories to their list of countries who have been lax on criminal money laundering activities. #EuropeNews

What a start they´ve made. Like us under Moyes in the first few months of a season.

A party that once stood for something, but now go against it and suffer the consequences.

Maybe Corbyn just wants a full raft of antisemetics running round in red

Jezza missed a trick here. He should have kept the boat bobbing along despite all the divisions. He should have nipped the anti-semetic stuff in the bud and kept the party together in an uneasy truce. In doing so he would have beaten the tories at the next GE. Now a labour govt is looking more and more like a forlorn hope.

When was the Labour Party at its best from your point of view? Iraq War?

You know he can stand himself, right?

No I prefer terrorist sympathy and a antisemetic party
