Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

A decade in which Tony Blair's three successors as leader have failed to win three general elections, you mean?

Two of those successors were watered down versions of Blair and continued the trend of Labour’s declining GE vote share that began under Blair and was only reversed by a democratic Socialist.

 

Tony Blair today is almost universally seen as the embodiment of all that is venal, corrupt, dishonest and distant in British politics. 

 

Rolf Harris played Glastonbury in the 90s; that doesn't mean he'd be a hit there today.

That sounds like the sort of claim that requires supporting evidence.

I don't think England is as irredeemably  Tory as you think.

I think the key battle ground are irredeemably centrist but if nobody occupies the middle ground, they would prefer a right wing tory government than a left wing labour one.

Brexit will hit the poorest people hardest. Corbyn, at the very least, doesn’t oppose it. 

Rico, champion of the poor. Tory voting, Referendum agreeing Rico, voting to 'look after himself', champion of the poor.

What are you on about?  I voted Tory, I’m absolutely against Brexit (but you know that) and I’m not the champion of anyone. That’s your mate. You spout off in the Brexit thread that it’s an unmitigated disaster then trot out the ‘it’s what conference voted for’ bollocks.  You are the one twisting all over the shop.

Too late Rico. You voted Tory once and are therefore responsible for everything the Tories do from now until the heat death of the universe.

 

Obviously this perpetual can-carrying does not apply to anyone who voted Labour in the 90s/00s wrt the Iraq War, PFI, invasive surveillance, the collapse of our entire financial system etc.

[sir roger 3,599]

We aren't trying to blame the Tories for the Iraq War though are we because they were in opposition at the time.

 

Anyway , what's the collective term for twats ?

You seem obsessed about Momentum , nobody on here even mentions them except you.

I think you must have quoted the wrong person. My mate? I'm one of the few on here on the left that regularly hits out at Corbyn. Then the conference stuff... yeah, must have been for somebody else.

Except, that's not true. And he's only being held to account for the one thing he voted for.

Whenever he crops up on the telly, have you ever heard anyone say "Waddaguy! He's who we need right now"?

 

Or is the response more likely to be "Fucking hell, not this cunt again"?

 

I think the fact that the only person on here flying the flag for the war criminal is someone who would happily see the Labour Party crash and burn tells its own story.

Not "absolutely".

 

If you were absolutely against Brexit, you wouldn't have voted for the only party to put it on the table.

I've no doubt that he's unpopular with a great many people. But you are wildly exaggerating when you say it's "almost universal".

 

I think you're a bit confused too if you think I'm flying the flag for Blair. The last thing I want is to see him return. I was just pointing out that he would wipe the floor with Boris Johnson in an election.

That hypothesis is as baseless and as unlikely to be tested as my hypothesis that no he fucking wouldn't.

[Duff Man 1,104]

He's definitely not as unpopular as he should be.

I was in draft mode, I thought you meant peak Tony Blair! but you honestly think that 2019 Tony Blair could win an election, without media support and on a remain platform?

 

it would be almost as big a wipeout as Clegg in 2015!

[Bobby Hundreds 5,737]

Blair wouldn't get the backing of the devil after he got cosey with the devils wife.

Excellent summary of "Labour's anti-Semitism crisis".

 

 

 

 

[Duff Man 1,104]

That's one perspective. Here's Jeremy Hunt with another..

 

“When I went to Auschwitz I rather complacently said to myself, ‘thank goodness we don’t have to worry about that kind of thing in the UK’ and now I find myself faced with the leader of Labour who has opened the door to antisemitism”

He should fuck off to Yemen for a bit to see what that's like, horrible cunt.
