Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?

[Anubis]

Thanks for your contribution, Alan. I'm sure we'll all give it all due consideration.

Alan Johnson: ‘Corbyn is safe, Momentum should disband’

 

Alan Johnson, the former Labour minister, has called for Momentum to be disbanded after Jeremy Corbyn’s surprising success in the general election.

 

Mr Johnson, whose 30 years in parliament ended this year, issued a warning against “the doctrinaire left” trying to take over the “broad church” of the Labour Party. “

 

Momentum, by now, should have disbanded. Jeremy Corbyn by now is very safe,” he told Prospect. “I don’t see the point of a separate organisation which is just a fan club for the leader.”

Does he still write for Progress?

[Jairzinho]

Not sure. Definitely still a cunt though.

Fuck me. What a speech by Corbyn at Glastonbury.

Did he mention Brexit to them?

[Chip Butty]

I'd like to see him and Kate Tempest do a duet at Glastonbury.

Did he mention Brexit to them?

You not arsed to listen for 10 minutes?

 

The only explicit reference was calling for all EU nationals in the UK to keep their rights. The rest of the speech was broader- about the way society, the economy and politics should be and can be. Whatever happens with Brexit is just part of that.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Great speech from a great man.

 

Left wing ? Marxist ? Just sounds like compassion, just sounds like common sense !

I'm on holiday, can't be arsed to do much other than drink Superbock. Bit like Jezza when he went on holiday during the campaign last year. If he'd mobilised the youth 13 months ago they wouldn't be faced with biggest crisis the country's faced in decades.

Certainly an interesting perspective.

In answer to the Op

 

 

[Rico1304]

Certainly an interesting perspective.

He's been openly anti- EU for years hasn't he? I'm sure there's an interesting analysis of those praising him on this thread and abusing leave voters on the EU thread.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Certainly an interesting perspective.

It's the line that the Blairites pushed and the media lapped up. Doesn't matter that it's not true- it was a good enough lie to launch Angela Eagle and Owen Smith on their comedy challenges.

 

Have a superbock for me, Rico.

He made over 100 public appearances in which he espoused staying in the E.U and reforming negative aspects of the Union from within. Just from recollection, this was 30-40 more public appearances than the other Remain campaign figureheads. Plus, 67% of Labour votes voted to remain.

 

Only an inveterate dimwit could lay any blame for Brexit at Corbyn's door when it was clearly the result of David Cameron's idiotic gamble to quell internal strife within in the Tory party.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I see Corbyn going to Glastonbury on Armed Forces Day is causing a bit of faux outrage amongst some.

 

Get over yourselves, you bad fucking meffs. The world doesn't revolve around the Army.

[RedKnight]

Didn't even know Armed Forces Day was a thing or that it was happening today. This isn't 'Merica, I don't want the armed forces to be treated like deities.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Didn't he attend something before heading down to Glasto. I'm sure I seen a picture of him and a quote of him praising all veterans and current service members.

 

 

And I concur with Jules.

Do you believe JC did enough to prevent Leave? Do you believe he put the same effort as in his election campaign?

 

For the record I think both leaders were fucking wank on he issue and I'm sure my remain views are clear.

So, he won the Leadership campaign, 'lost' on Brexit and lost the election. No wonder you love him...

Compare the Labour manifesto with the Tory stance on no deal. It's way better.
