CB Fry Posted 13 December, 2019 Share Posted 13 December, 2019 He will resign today surelyLet's see. He'll probably sit down with Seamus and Uncle Len and the rest of that pond-life this morning and convince themselves that they have done nothing wrong and it is the electorate that simply must change.

Tone deaf, utterly contemptuous of all of the natural Labour voters he has turned his back on. I don't think that he cares. He sees Labour as a political movement rather than a party - in the same way as the Greens are more of a movement rather than a party capable of government. He will blame this defeat on Brexit and try to ensure that another Momentum backed Idealist takes over from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His party's core support has made it absolutely clear they do not support what he is doing. He has to let the party draw a line under it and start rebuilding immediately. This comment about resigning after a period of reflection seems pretty egotistical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 13 December, 2019 Share Posted 13 December, 2019 They could do a lot worse than go for Keir Starmer as their next leader. A very bright man, but not hugely charismatic. With his background he would also make an excellent Home Secretary. I think they are right to wait a while though. Major decisions are never best made in knee jerk reaction mode and they need some time to work out what type of Labour Party they want to be. To be an effective opposition they need someone they can unite behind and it was clear Corbyn was never trusted by the Blairites. F*** it up now and we could be stuck with the Tory’s for the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely shameful he hasn't gone already. The malignant cancer of Lansmann and Milne, Bastini and the rest of the socialist worker crew have never given two shi ts about changing the country, just owning the Labour Party. A little set back like yesterday they are already brushing off and they will try and fester and cling to their little bit of "power".+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkhamsted Saint Posted 13 December, 2019 Share Posted 13 December, 2019 Dismissing the serious issue of an anti semitic Labour party is beyond contempt. Following the result last night at least the Jewish community can remain in the UK something that would not of been possible for many under Corbyn. Corbyn has always been a serious and real threat to the Jews. Friday night dinners around North West London will be both a celebration and one of extreme relief.

As someone who voted for them in Putney (my approach was that Corbyn didn't deserve my vote, but the current Tories are so hideous that it was more important to vote to stop them), I hope that I haven't inadvertently contributed to this! The rest of what you say about Corbyn and Labour is spot on. The paradox is he appears to be a man of principle who above all else would care about stopping the Conservatives, but actually as you say, "[has] never given two shi ts about changing the country, just owning the Labour Party" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 13 December, 2019 Share Posted 13 December, 2019 John Lansman was using Putney as an example of the electoral success of Labour last night. Momentum make Militant Tendency look mainstream. It’s ended in tears with the far left just like it did in 1983. Then, Labour could have had Healey and ended up with Foot. This time, the unions fixed for the wrong Miliband to get the leadership and then Beckett killed her own party for a bit of diversity on the ballot after Ed got a similar beating. Kinnock would be sick - all that work to eject the Trotsky scum and twenty years on back they come like Japanese Knotweed. Only possible way back is if Rebecca Long-thingy or one of the other front bench hoodwink Momentum (ironic name) and do a Kinnock - pretend and then modernise. LDs we’re recovering before Swinson’s idiotic policy on article 50 - hard to know where they can go from here.Hard to see how they can eject the Trots under Miliband’s leadership election rules unless the unions decide they don’t want to fund an unelectable husk. Labour’s heritage looks badly damaged in the north and Midlands by the London trots. Swinson killed the LD recovery with the stupid policy on revoking A50, glad she lost her seat. Pushed ahead despite unease of her colleagues. As for Corbyn’s speech about his achievements - what achievements? Leading his party to their worst postwar election performance? Generating a reputation for anti semitism? I’m not keen on Boris but his team kept their clown car on the road, as did the SNP, the others couldn’t. He will need to honour centrism to keep the new seats happy and the eventual trade deal might upset Wes, GM and LD but make the rest of us more comfortable hopefully.

So what is the eventual trade deal going to be, oh great prophet seer? Super Canada will be fine, thank you. Anything that equates to what the hapless May would have arranged is not acceptable, nor is anything that would have satisfied Corbyn's Labour, with continued Customs Union and Single Market membership. Simple enough for you remoaners to understand that it should return our ability to control our laws, borders, money and trade. If that cannot be agreed, then leaving on WTO terms is not a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
