Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

Hey mate, how’s Spain going? You’ve not mentioned it in 5

minutes.

Hahahah. Spain, well known for its solid political system.

He's been mentioning Airbus for quite a while now...

He has, again I agree, but after this announcement, silence. It just seems a bit strange.

[moof]

I get that AOT, and I agree it’s the best way to make some kind of compromise. The problem I have, is that the shit is starting to hit the fan now. And it needs someone with some balls to step up. To not make any comment on the Airbus news was just weird, and by waiting for the Tories to completely fuck it up, you’re risking losing jobs and manufacturing that’ll be gone forever.

Why is the shit hitting the fan now any more than it was 6 weeks ago? Should labour change their policy based on every new news story that comes out?

[Strontium]

I personally don't care what Labour does. I just hope that when Brexit is a disaster, as it inevitably will be, the electorate remembers that the Tories owned it, Labour sat on the fence, and other parties were right.

Because large manufacturing companies are now coming forward saying they need clarity now or they’re off. Does that not warrant some alarm?

 

It’s like the guy that throws himself off a 20 storey building. As he’s passing each floor he’s saying ‘all okay so far’.

They will. The majority voted for it. Most of those who didn’t will be voting Labour anyway. I suspect a few might even vote for LD and Green. Not enough to make them relevant. The voters remember last time LD were relevant. They didn’t like it.

They’ve only started doing that recently?

They liked coalition enough to give the senior coalition partner an increased majority.

Haha. I’ve got to admire your effort, mate.

Well I worked at Airbus until a month ago, spent 18 years there, and what they did on Friday I’d say is unprecedented, I can’t recall anything similar while I’ve been there. And as an aside, every single fairly high level meeting I’ve been in, during my last year there, mentioned Brexit as a highly significant negative factor.

I’ve worked in business for 20 years. In a business to business role and business to customer role. Plus running my own for 10 years.

Never have I ever heard anyone give two fucks about how the EU is crucial to there survival.

BG have an entire department dedicated to it, so does every other big supplier. It’s a topic at board level every meeting.

British Gas should be in pubic owernership. I imagine that's where Corbyn wants it, the Eu will then be close to irrelevant.

What’s he going to do with Airbus? Call it de havilland and start making Comets again?

Looking at the bigger picture didn't we sell a large stale in Airbus for a pittance in around the 2005-6 mark?

 

We seem to like selling our assets.

I don’t think it was just the U.K.

 

From memory I think Airbus is now around 75 percent shareholders, the rest government held, whereas that used to be much higher the European governments share.

That’s one view. How about the other 40 businesses selling the same product?
