Labour Leadership Contest

[Babb'sBurstNad]

It'll be interesting to see how they try to oust him. If they're too blatant, it'll (rightly) come across like they're trying to run roughshod over the democratic process, which could be counter productive. Looking at how the press and Westminster elite went after the SNP, it only served to cement their outsider status. I didn't have much hope he could survive long, but seeing how he's come through smear after smear has certainly given me a bit more optimism.

Liz Kendall (4%) said she wouldn't serve in a Corbyn cabinet.

 

See ya.

[Champ]

Devastating news about Jamie Reed. Put a real dampener on proceedings, in my opinion.

Spoilt my day, that

 

 

 

 

As lifey would say, don't let the door catch your arse on the way out

See ya.

I don't think you were going to be invited, Liz

[kalasoma]

I don't think you were going to be invited, Liz

 

Right, who else doesn't want the pinko commie geography teacher?

[Sut]

Funny how Corbyn must reach out to every part of the party but the right wingers just tried to ride roughshod over the left wing.

[littletedwest]

Hes on a hiding to nothing at the minute. Even any of his good ideas will be portrayed as a lunatic by the tory press.

 

liz Kendall was popular eh

[Jairzinho]

Be interesting to see what the likes of the Guardian do now.

Well they've got Owen Jones who supported Corbyn consistently. But that's one journo.

[bizzle10]

that is some result i didnt think corbyn had a hope in hell at the start but i just think the tory press are going to go after him hard and paint him as the bastard child of lennin and stalin.If he can shift the debate from austerity and give an alternative he will have done his job

Rachel Reeves has said that when she returns from maternity leave she'll go to the back benches.

 

BBC describe her as a heavy hitter.

[Carvalho Diablo]

A victory for Socialism and the death of New Labour.

[Biscao]

Liz Kendall (4%) said she wouldn't serve in a Corbyn cabinet.

 

See ya.

 

Nobody will, as there'll never be a Corbyn cabinet. Labour just destined England with 10 more years of Tory policies. Great news if you own a Saudi oil well or work in City, not so great for everyone else.

[Anubis]

John Prescott - "Jamie Reed? Is he in our party."

[Dr Nowt]

A moment worthy of great celebration...those texts and emails may finally thin out a bit.

[Teasmaid]

They won't oust him now. His win is far too resounding. They'll all back peddle like fuck, and be like flies round shit.

[kalasoma]

Corbyn meets the Queen on Monday (after being voted new Labour leader in the Queen Elizabeth II Conference centre).

He may refuse to serve on the Queens Privy Council as an advisor.

 

The revolution will be televised.

[Hooch]

Care to elaborate?

[Biscao]

Elaborate what?

Tweet from Pablo Inglesias, leader of Podemos.

 

 

Corbyn's victory as leader of the Labour party is great news, it's a step forward towards a change in Europe for the benefit of the people.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, Liz Kendall was just about to cut all ties with Saudi Arabia and heavily regulate the banking sector as well.

I meant to say Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet.

[Jairzinho]

Well they've got Owen Jones who supported Corbyn consistently. But that's one journo.

 

Jones, Milne, and Monbiot have supported him. Because they're on the left, unlike most of their writers.

[King Emlyn]

Boulton can't keep the grin off his face, like all his Christmases have come at once.

[Sut]

Biscao, do you really think any of the other 3 would have won the next general election? Even if one of them had, we'd have had those ten years of Tory bastardness cut short by five years of Diet Tory Bastardness.
