Current Affairs The Labour Party

[tsubaki]

...Labour need to realise they are increasingly appealing to the ‘few and not the many’.

Such a shame.

Such is what we are told; meanwhile two parties funded and run by (and on behalf of) the top of society are on more than 50% of the vote.

Perhaps what we are being told is wrong?

Certainly not without explaining what it is going to do to fix the reasons why so many people voted Leave in the first place. I'd imagine a lot of the voters of the sort that Joey pretends to be will be imagining that once Remain wins, the attention of the political class will go back to enriching itself and the rest of the country will be allowed to float merrily on down the stream as it was before 2016.

They are not wrong to think that either.

The Labour conference has got off to a great start as it not .....trying to ditch Watson , now a resignation from someone who stares they left because Corbyn will never win a GE...?..
The dangerous hero is being found out .......Corbyns toast.....

Hyperbolic nonsense, and straight from *** on Sunday which is carrying the news, as described by Andrew Castle on LBC, but I'm sure that's where you got it from...

You mean Andrew Fisher, who has handed in his resignation and leaves at the end of the year... Come now have some perspective, Brexit has you in a tizz.

You missed how they're also threatening to field a different candidate in Harriet Harman's seat if she runs for speaker, solely because she's not Momentum.

They'd literally rather have a Tory as speaker than a very well respected centre-left Labour candidate.

By "they're" you mean "some of Harman's CLP", and the issue is that they'd rather have their own MP speak for them than someone who is constitutionally required to be impartial.

Its Harriet Harmans own Constituency Labour Party members who are asking her to step down running as speaker.
The drama queens and ministry of misinformations are out in force.

Where do I mention the speaker in my post?
Also listing to LBC this am Momentum is a large influence on tactics they are scared Corbyn will retire aged 70 and Watson would take over they had the vote at the NEC 17 v 10 to scrap the deputy leaders post not enough of a majority so they now want two deputy leaders ......
they lost the vote on Clause 4 for nationalisation etc that Blair altered this am .....
They are the real reason they will never get into power until they move on to centre ground..... as I a Labour voter will never vote for a left wing marxist party within a party oh and by the way I don't like Tom Watson as an MP for numerous reasons.....

as opposed to a right wing marxist party within a party?

Joey, honestly start looking to see if what LBC are saying is actually true.

Yes I believe that's what they're officially going with. Meanwhile, in real life, we all know that's total nonsense.

No I have reiterated before still a trade unionist - I have been on picket lines _ always voted Labour voted for ED Miliband - who by the way with the £3.00 membership has let in Momentum which Ironically has turned me and many others against Labour -not LBC which is neutral by the way with the likes of James O'Brien on there...
I don't have to listen to the press or media you just take a deep look at Momentums values - imo they are stopping Labour being elected into government with the worst opposition leader Labour could have - so they perhaps listen and assume Corbyn may stand down so a panic vote before the conference to get rid of a middle of the road MP as interim ..leader.....
So lets rush lets get rid of his position.... great democrocy at work ... reminds me of ignoring the Brexit vote against their 2017 election manifesto.......

Of course we do. Why does anyone need evidence to actually back up an argument? That would be as much of a waste of time as saying that the CLP secretary came out and said they wouldn't be standing a candidate in Harman's constituency, or something.

Constitutionally required to be impartial? Can you have a word with Bercow please.

Yes, it's a total coincidence that 12 of the 15 members of the CLP are Momentum. Total coincidence. Definitely.
