What's confusing, that the membership chose to vote in a deputy in the hope that maybe they could have reconciled the two factions?

Well yeah. Like lets vote one in who we all like, then vote another one in to hope that the ones that dont like the one we voted in do like. So we all then like each other.

Then call the one we voted in to make us all united a disgrace cos we are not united, cos the deputy leader (shock horror) has eyes on the main gig. And we all hated him anyrate.

So yeah, a bit confused.

Increased membership, improved finances and destroyed and dream of being elected due to his own inability to make firm commitments to any policies.
He's a ditherer and he's put the Labour Party's election winning chances back at least a decade imo.

About time they came out as Remain, better late than never. Now they will have a massive opportunity to get into government at the next election after Boris the Bungling Buffoon gets kicked out for causing the economic pain that will follow the upcoming no deal Brexit. The question is, have they got the leader who can get them elected.....very much doubt it.

I think they're calling him disgraceful because they believe he's acting thus, maybe they did want to give the Blairites a chance to change and contribute, they probably feel differently now though, and i wouldn't blame them.

He must be some bloke to be on the one hand a committed marxist, on another hand a dedicated anti-semite, on yet another one a ruthless dictator who purges his enemies and on yet another appendage a ditherer.

Could you not argue it's the role of the leader to unite the party, not of the party to unite behind the leader? These are people presumably more on board with Labour than the average floating voter, so you'd assume they're an easier sell for Corbyn to make, but when he doesn't do so, you blame those he hasn't convinced instead.

Not really Bruce, I don't think i blamed anyone, I was trying to empathise with Labour members who voted for Corbyn overwhelmingly and provide the democratic guidance that the party should take,remember,it's not like the 1922 Committee.
There have been formal challenges that have been defeated, and yet still some still persist in attempting to undermine democratic policy. At this stage, what you're saying could be similar to blaming Prium for not convincing the Greeks in the horse to settle in Illium.

Labour leading; if they were behind then the papers wouldn't be devoting so much to bashing Corbyn and would be trying to keep him on for the General Election which is coming.

There is only one blue panic and that's Conservative blue, love to see their private polling, I bet their bottoms are permanently perched over the toilet...
 
Tom Watson had his chance at last week's NEC meeting to raise any issues he had. He stayed silent. Instead he walked out of the meeting and straight to the BBC to vent his gripes. Watson is doing everything the can to undermine the Labour party. And that includes cowardly attacking the integrity of a woman undergoing chemotherapy. I'd say it's about time the Labour party suspend this bully who is constantly attempting to intimidate a woman.
