Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

Would you be happy to have a referendum once a year then? Just to check that the people haven’t changed their minds.

If new info/circumstances come to light, sure. What’s wrong with giving more power to people to decide their future? 

[TheHowieLama]

Every year? Just to check??

 

Not sure they would let you back in - in fact at this rate they may just kick you out.

Every year if something changed. Which it wouldn’t.

That is certainly one way to spin it I suppose, although the “being made PM without a general election” line is a bit lame considering well, the current PM was not exactly chosen by a general election.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The lengths these nobheads go to to try to pin everything on Corbyn. 

 

In these circumstances, there is literally nobody other than the Leader of the Opposition with a credible claim to lead an interim "stop No Deal then call a General Election "Government.  Their hatred of democratic Socialism is clearly greater than their hatred of Brexit  (as their harshest critics have been saying all along).

Also, of course, if a Corbyn-led interim government tried to do literally anything at all other than delay Brexit and call a General Election, they would  (quite rightly) be voted down.

 

For a QC that Maugham one seems very weak on details.

Sorry , I am not being lectured by any wanker called Jolyon.

[Duff Man]

"He is insisting on being made PM without a General Election.."

 

Old Dom Jolyon doesn't seem to understand that that also applies to whichever MP he's just arbitrarily decided it should be instead.

[polymerpunkah]

How about "The Lib Dems, with 2% of the representatives in parliament, are demanding the power to name the Prime Minister."

‘Sir Roger’ morning about a posh name, that the bloke had zero choice in.  You lefties are weird.  

 

Oh, and Ed Milliband didn’t mind him when he needed advice on tax reform.  

[Bobby Hundreds]

Anything that gets rid of Johnson. The dishonest two faced political windsock. 

 

I don't know if it's just me taking a step back from reading/watching the news but considering he's prime minister there seems very little coverage on him.

They will, but it appears to me to be no better a negotiating stance than the Tories wanting to have no deal on the table in Brussels. It's a give me my own way or I'll go for a path that is clearly not in the national interest.

It’s a bit different though Barry. The tories want no-deal... and Corbyn is asking for help from other parties to stop no-deal.

I don't see it that way at all.

 

It's the Leader of the Opposition taking a leadership role in opposing the Government's utterly ruinous plans.  It's basically Corbyn doing his job; and SNP, Plaid and the Greens recognise this.  

 

Imagine the grief he'd get if he was just sat on his hands, waiting for Swinson or Ken fucking Clarke to save the day, while the Johnson clique pressed on with this madness.

[Duff Man]

Ken Clarke isn't even on the same page, anyway. He wants to renegotiate his own deal with the EU, and then call a general election.

 

So that's a back-bencher picked at random (or apparently just because he's old), installed as PM with no mandate whatsoever, starting Brexit again. It's politics on acid, and all because a few Tories don't like the LOTO.

[Duff Man]

Pipe-dream fucking bullshit for two and a half years, and then outright dismissal of the only actual workable plan because something something Jeremy's a Stalinist.

You can't say that, he's the Father of the House! And he was a Bilderberger, what better person to help sell the country out? He must have some great contacts to do that with and I'm sure he'll do an excellent job if chosen.

[Duff Man]

Hugely popular in his own party, too, of course, especially when it comes to Brexit and customs unions.

 

I mean honestly, who actually comes up with this shit?
