Current Affairs The Labour Party

So, to all those who said that Corbyn will be up for an election as soon as an extension is granted, how’s that playing out then.....

Still here like I said....

Still here like I said....

With today’s vote only requiring a simple majority, and the LD’s and SNP lined up to support it, he would have looked a bit of a pillock voting against it for a 4th time. But everyone knows the real score......

No need to move the goalposts I said he'd vote for one after the extension and you didnt believe me, but everyone knows the real score....

that one is normally quite popular lol

lets see what they put in it before criticising it

Corbyn embarrassed himself here. Banging on about students going home for Christmas instead of taking the front foot.

His stance of waiting until the threat of no deal was gone made perfect sense, but he then dithered as per usual and missed an open goal when offered to him, giving the impetus to the Lib Dems/SNP and making Labour look foolish. Now it looks - and it's hard to deny - that they've reluctantly gone for an election. As the official opposition.

He really is atrocious.

Not really. Students in University towns won several seats last time, having the election after the term ends was a fairly clear ploy by the Government to minimise the Labour vote.

One would imagine we will now see amendments brought to try and change the date / allow younger voters.

I doubt Boris will allow amendments, he will pull the bill if there are any voted through.....

I won’t hold my breath waiting for you to call him Frit when that happens.

Nor should you. I think the deal with the LD’s and SNP has been done. They both know that they will pick up Labour seats anyway so have no need to help Labour......
