Hilary Benn Sacked

[Gromit]

For trying to oust Corbyn.
Corbyn faces no confidence vote of Labour MPs.
It would be funny that Labour are imploding if it wasn't at such a serious time.

The present Labour MPs seem incredibly out of touch with voters. Labour voters voted for Brexit in vast numbers particularly in Labour heartlands, the North East, Wales. Yet they nearly all Labour MPs are pro EU. They don't seemed to learned from their annilation in Scotland, and give voters what they want.

Are the Labour Party finished?

[Svejk]

Yes, they are. They keep repeating the mantra, 'We have to start listening to what people are telling us' and then, promptly, keep ignoring them.
They find it impossible to hide their sneering contempt for working class people.
Anyone with half a brain, and a social conscience switched to UKIP years ago. Many more will at the next election.

[Gromit]

Will UKIP be at the next election?
Don't the EU finance the party?

I feel the need for a new party of the left.

LibDems annilated last year, and Labour becoming increasingly irrelevent to most of its core voters. Time to start again.

[Svejk]

Labour still don't 'get it'. The Blairites blame Corbyn for losing the referendum. Corbyn was on the right side of the argument until he allowed himself to be coerced into supporting the EU.

[Gromit]

Agreed Svejk,

The Labour MPs should resign. They are the frauds.

[Hopkirk]

Sorry Svelk, but why would anyone vote UKIP at the next election?

They are virtually a one policy party, which is EU exit.
We have that now.
Votes for them in the past were just protest votes.

Perhaps the Lib Dems will be back.

[Svejk]

Time will tell, hopkirk. It may be a long time until the next election and these are tumultuous times.
The idea that working class people would listen to the achingly middle-class Lib-dums is laughable.
It was a pretty nifty idea of theirs to stand on a 'return to the EU' platform at the next election. They'll, doubtless, hoover up the votes of the young and feeble minded.

[Hopkirk]

The Lib Dems have done what?

How stupid.

They have just alienated all those disaffected Labour voters then.

Perhaps they need a change of leader as well.

Gromit...most MP are pro-EU...even the majority of Tory MPs are. All the main Parties had STAY as their policy, and still do. Only UKIP wants to LEAVE.

I can't see Corbyn surviving for very long however, and if Benn were to stand as Leader, than he would have my vote (if I had one ! )

Better still, Alan Johnson...I hope somebody can persuade him to stand.

[mikey4444]

Hoppy is right...why would anyone vote UKIP now ?

[youngmafbog]

Problem is Mickey who else is available. Same for Tory viters the Tories are not representing their voters either.

Intersting times ahead. The worm has turned against the right on Esrablishment which has infiltrated all parties. Bar UKIP

[mikey4444]

YMB.....everybody is talking as if the Referendum was a landslide victory for REMAIN, but it wasn't. Over 16 millions people voted to stay, just under half of the ones who bothered to vote.

I have already said on here that I am happy to accept the result, but who will now represent those millions of REMAINERS in the HOC ?

That is why I would like to see another General Election, asap.

[DTCwordfan]

Alan Johnson has skeletons in his cupboard akin to those of Bonking Boris......he's not prepared to reveal them, so it well could be Benn Jnr - hopefully not that awful Cooper or her pita hubbie.

[dannyk13]

Mikey, what do you think would happen if we have a general election now? Surely you can't hope for a Labour Party victory with all the turmoil it is going through at the present time?

[mikey4444]

Danny....difficult situation, I would agree. But just over a year ago, we had an Election where all the main parties were pro-EU, and they still are, despite the narrow Referendum result for BREXIT.

I just think that the situation has now changed so utterly, that we should have another Election.

[dannyk13]

To what end Mikey?

[naomi24]

Well, they can depend upon David Lammy to make noises they want to hear. He clearly thinks that the majority of the electorate are mad and not capable of making a decision so he'll no doubt suit Corbyn and his arrogant sycophants.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/25/david-lammy-urges-parliament-to-stop-madness-by-ignoring-the-eu/

Labour lost touch with the electorate years ago - and if this party that holds such disdain for the people of this country isn't finished, it really ought to be.

[DTCwordfan]

A general election would throw the markets into a complete meltdown.....unstability and all that. No, they should take their measured time, see what happens inside the EU as to other referendums being indicated and how Brussels reacts in terms of change......

There will be enough churn with new leaders for both the Tories and the Labourites.

Personally I think that plonker Junckers ought to go......sleezeball.

[Svejk]

I've always thought, the mighty, Lammy would make a fine Labour Leader.

[mikey4444]

DTC...the difficulty with that is now that we have expressed our wish to leave the EU, we have no control or effect on Junkers, or any of the rest of them.

[naomi24]

I don’t understand Mikey’s call for a General Election. Why? The people voted last year. The result of the referendum is a separate issue.
