Current Affairs The Labour Party

[davek]

If Boris gets a deal done and we leave the EU, Farage will get very few votes because people on all sides are getting fed up with it all....

First of all, please stop calling him "Boris". It sounds like Kopites with their "Kenny".

Second, the May deal wont be getting through parliamant without opposition say so.

that was a brief purge:

Tom Watson: Labour ditches vote on abolishing deputy leader role

Party will instead carry out review of role after intervention by Jeremy Corbyn

Boooooooooooo!

So either Corbyn is a statesman or he bottled it....

Mediation and considered democratic review on how to proceed with the role of Deputy leader.

Unfortunaltely it looks like only the Tory Party are able to carry out a cull of their errant MPs.

Sounds like dictatorship to me!

If Boris does a deal, the 21 will vote for it, the Conservatives will vote for it and I’m betting that Boris has convinced the DUP to vote for it. Even a couple of Labour MP’s will vote for it. He doesn’t need the opposition tbh....

I wonder why they didn’t do that before they had one......

Anecdotal evidence for sure, but i know a sizeable number of people (mainly younger generations) who’ve joined or began to vote for labour after previously being fairly apathetic about politics.

I’ve no problem believing that, but unfortunately for Labour it’s not a winning path. The young don’t vote enough as we’ve seen very recently.

For Labour to win they need more than just the youthful left.

As much as I'd like to see Tom Watson out on his arse, that's good leadership to pull it.

It is, and I bet you he gets no credit for it.

Why would the 21 vote for it? And if any deal is agreed by the EU it will defo not be agreeable to the DUP, because the EU only sees massive movement in accepting the backstop from the UK side as acceptable. That would mean a massive Labour revolt to get it through. Not happening.

Those Stalinist purge headlines and splash photos going back in the bin

This is worth reading:

...it's more than likely been a stunt to pipe down the movers for Labour to adopt a Remain position.

Maybe because Lansman is not mind controlling Corbyn like hyperbolics like to pretend, just views being presented and debated. Unlike Cummings and Johnson, should that be the other way round!?
