Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

  1. 1. Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?



Recommended Posts

I thought he was anti-Corbyn in his voting & already considered on the PLP side when the allegiances of the NEC is dissected.

The anti corbyn gang seem to be suggesting he has been bought by Corbyn and his team.

 

Dan Hodges and his mates seem pissed so it all might be true. Although the way he has worded it is misleading.

 

If Jon Ashworth values the health service he would be bonkers to turn down such an important job down.

I think he's brought them in because they are in the very small number of Labour MPs that are actually democratic socialists and not briefing against him in the press. I like Ken, but think Abbott is useless, but both are toxic due to their appalling reputation. Hopefully she'll be gone within a year or so.

 

 

I'm not sure Livingstone is that toxic.  He was a good mayor.  The other one is as thick as two short planks, and is a laughing stock.

Agreed, i'd much rather have a labour MP that studied Politics at Oxford than someone like Jess Phillips for instance. The high born idealogues make the best MPs. 

 

 

not high born, just educated and not thick.  It's not a particularly high bar, the bar of base acceptability, but JC seems determined not to reach it with some of his appointments.  It's really annoying and pisses me off because it essentially dismisses Labour's chances and validates some of the easy jibes that the Tories throw their way.

So if Corbyn appoints people who were against him, he's buying them off and if he doesn't then he's being divisive.

Quite possibly. I honestly don't have a strong opinion either way. This all seems like such new ground, that predicting even what might happen next year is incredibly difficult.

 

Perhaps Blair will lead the party again. I read today that he is mulling over a come back.

Unlucky, Tony

Corbyn's replacement of Jon Ashworth with Kate Osamor on the NEC gives him a majority of one.

 

Seen that repeated elsewhere Denny and hope it is true , but wiki suggests that Kate Osamor is already on as one of the 3 PLP members along with Jon Ashworth & Jon Trickett so that makes Ashworth's replacement the important one.

2 of the Labour whips resigning ( Including the blert who said that Corbyn threatened to tell his dad on him ), 3 more considering their position & talk of the PLP forming a shadow-shadow cabinet with weekly meetings to set alternative policies. They aren't getting the memo are they ? Even John Mann ffs has said that Corbyn has won & they should just get on with their focus on the Tories.

Well corbyn has just been re elected leader but I really cant go with this. He's a divisive leader. He's not a uniting leader and the party will be unelectable to Government while he stays leader. In my opinion.

 

We're going nowhere with him in charge and giving the tories a free run at the centre ground.

Yeah,so we'll just go back to a Tony Blair type leader and continue to privatise the NHS through the back door at a slower rate and murder brown people in the Middle East. That will work.

Serious question - what is so divisive about Corbyn?
