Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

  1. 1. Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?



Recommended Posts

It’s because it’s damaging to the Labour Party. Despite Starmer resigning from chi’s cabinet, then suspending him from the party, then removing the whip, all at great political expense, they still try to pin Corbyn on him. That’s how toxic Corbyn is to some people. I voted for him twice, so it makes no difference to me if Starmer was giving him handies around the back of the allotment, but to some it clearly matters. They see him as somebody who hates the UK, loves Russia, etc. it’s not even about Corbyn any more. It’s about smearing. That’s what will happen with Johnson now. Or should.

He is. But why? I thought he was boss.
And wanted him to become PM.

 

But, he’s now a 73 year old backbench MP. Not even that now, he’s an independent MP. The mission was successful. His goals and ideology have pretty much been killed off, for all intents and purposes. That should be enough. Just let the old fella live in peace now that the job is done.

This ending reminds me of someone

Neil Coyle trying to blame his alcoholism partly on Corbyn and his 'battles with the leader's cronies.'

 

Why not. For a peace loving vegan, who tries to be personable to everyone including his enemies, and who's hobby is the history of manhole covers, Corbyn does like to start some shit.

Just been reading about this. The shameless fucker. I wonder if Coyle was concerned about Corbyn’s mental health when he was smearing him on a regular basis?

Tribalism has always been present in politics, but with the popularity of social media and the lacking standards in the mainstream news outlets, it is almost a self-parody now. You now have a subsection of the left doing what they absolutely hated centrists for doing on Twitter and trumping up unrest over antisemitism. It's all a fuckin' game. It's not even about left and right anymore, it's not about political ideology and beliefs most of the time. It's about winning a point for your tribe. If there weren't lots of politically disengaged people suffering because of it, the ridiculous of it all would make you laugh. In principle, Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister is fucking hilarious. In reality, it's a fucking nightmare. We can sit and giggle at these Tory debates, chuntering about they're all fucking morons and wankers, but one of these cunts - likely the most vacuous of them - is going to be running the country in a few weeks, assuming BoJo the Clown doesn't try to get us into a war so he can suspend democratic freedoms. 

 

Those pinning everything on Corbyn whilst he was running are bellends, those trying to bring him down from the inside are even bigger cunts. Like, serious cunts. The idea that it makes it okay for some sort of political revenge against Starmer, who is the first Labour leader in a long time that looks to have what it takes to actually get the Tories out, is bullshit. At times we're our own worst enemy, and the others times are being manipulated into being our own worst enemy by the media or Twitter. In short, burn it down 'til the embers smoke on the ground.

Looks like Hodge and Smeeth are being disingenuous about the CAA now.  Nobody suggested it was anything other than appropriate for him to visit the Holocaust Memorial: the complaint is about the use of that image in a party political clip that has got fuck all to do with the Holocaust.

You can adjust the whole antisemitism labour thing anyway you want can't you? Cunt for going, cunt for not going, depending on your agenda.

 

Yes you can but not sure the issue is attendance but using the memorial site as a prop for political gain.

Has the Israeli government got an issue with Labour or just Corbyn? Is it a Corbyn pro Palestine thing or is it a wider issue about not providing arms or whatever the fuck?

As long as LFI are in the ascendancy, I'm sure the Israeli government will be happy.

That CAA statement says that a high proportion of British Jews don't think Starmer's Labour are doing enough to combat anti-Semitism and that's sort of understandable.  After the likes of Hodge and the anti-Corbyn mob put so much effort into trying to convince everyone that every nook and cranny of the party was lousy with anti-Semites, it's reasonable to expect the new leadership to expel these racists in their tens of thousands; of course, he can't do that, because those people never really existed.
