  1. 1. Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

Quality stuff from the Beeb about the latest Labour PLP meeting.

 

But Labour MP Anna Turley said colleagues were "shell shocked" afterwards, such had been the level of anger expressed.

"I think the cleaners are probably still mopping up the blood," she added.

Ms Turley, who did not attend Monday's meeting herself,

I don't see anything in there about Labour planning for a 1.5 day work week.

 

It's a research paper, not a manifesto. If you're expecting it to say "We will introduce a 10 hour working week", you're going to be disappointed. However the thrust of the report, that reducing the working week will be important in the battle against climate change, is undeniable, especially when taken alongside the fully automated luxury communism, techno-utopianism that has taken hold in upper echelons of the party.

 

Not really sure why there's such hostility to it here though?

They tend to do fairly well in a lot of European countries, it's good to see, finally seem to be shedding the one issue party tag.

They tend to do well in countries with a PR voting system because people see that it's worthwhile voting for them.

I already provided evidence in the form of a news article, so that's bizarre.

 

But if you want a citation directly from the report:

 

Lastly, the working week reductions above assume a linear and absolute decrease in working time, which would therefore not allow the use of working time reductions to offer jobs to the unemployed or to increase the working hours of the underemployed (which would require a more equal sharing out of current working hours). If we wished to achieve these social goods, an even more radical conclusion emerges: the actual sustainable work week, based on today’s levels of productivity and carbon intensity, would likely need to be well below 10 hours per week per person, even in relatively carbon-efficient economies such as Sweden.

 


 

What the report says is very different from what you suggested. 

 

You said Labour were planning for a 1 1/2 day week. The report makes the suggestion. 

 

Theres a s difference.

 

And the article you posted doesn’t say that is what Labour are looking to do either. It’s making the assumption that’s what they are going to do. 

 

I’d suggest you have a proper read.

He understood it perfectly well. He's just trolling Labour for shits and giggles. 

 

If he were really that easily gulled by tabloid headlines, he'd be a Brexiteer.

"Corbyn says nothing about Anne Frank"

 

Seems an idea.

She's a fucking disgrace! She's batshit crazy, and she can't fucking blame it on baby brain either! She'd gone fucking nuts before she was up the stick!

 

Calling a man who's been arrested in the past for campaigning against racism a racist! Silly cunt!
