Good to see a 'Remain' poster finally being put to good use.

[THEMOTLEY1]

So, Corblimey's bricking it is he?

[Mamyalynne]

Vandals everywhere - pity they've nothing useful to fill their time.

[mushroom25]

interesting to note the paragraphs further down, where one of the office workers alleges that there have been threats, not just to them, but also to the managers of a venue where Ms eagle was due to speak.

if these are founded, I wonder whether sanction for this type of "positive demonstration" is being provided by the Momentum organisation, or indeed sections of the Labour Party?

[Jackdaw33]

This is a farce. No one else will dare stand for fear of being deselected, and if Corbyn is allowed to stand automatically he will win again.

[Jackdaw33]

For 'Momentum' read 'Militant'. They're back.

// For 'Momentum' read 'Militant'. They're back. //

Andrew Neil asked Eagle twice on Sunday morning for the difference in policies between her own and what Corbyn stood for. She evaded the question each time, and couldn't think of ONE policy difference.
Militant aren't back, Labour members want to get their party back from the ToryLite MPs who have crashed the party to two consecuctive Election defeats.

So the 172 Labour MP's who voted no confidence in Corbyn are actually Tories in disguise?

[naomi24]

//if Corbyn is allowed to stand automatically he will win again. //

That'll be good news. I don't now how anyone can possibly continue to take Labour seriously. They're digging themselves ever deeper into the mire.

Yes they are. 184 Labour MPs did not vote against £12billion in cuts to the Tories Welfare Bill. That was a betrayal of Labour voters. There names are listed here.

Should Corbyn not win you could end up with the bizarre situation in which a new leader could be without a seat in the next parliament, having been deselected.

[dannyk13]

I cannot believe that you actually believe what you are saying.If you do then watch out for the men in white coats.

Last post was for Gromit

[Hypognosis]

Even Venezuelan Socialism is going down the tubes. Never mind the mandate, it's the floating voters that any party leader needs to court favour with.

Hence T. Bluerrghh.

Why would Labour MPs not oppose Welfare Cuts (to the poorest in society)?


Can you explain it?

[ToraToraTora]

oh dear oh dear oh dear, Labour do seem to be in a teenzy weenzy bit of a pickle don't they! Not a dry eye in the house!

[dannyk13]

Gromit
What has the below got to do with 172 MP's taking part in a no confidence vote?

///Why would Labour MPs not oppose Welfare Cuts (to the poorest in society)?///

[Jackdaw33]

The fact that 360 new members have joined Eagle's constituency party since her announcement to stand speaks volumes.

[mushroom25]

and meantime people are throwing things and allegedly threatening challenger's staff, and anyone else who might proffer assistance to a challenger to the labour leadership.

is this a legitimate means for labour members to take to get their party back?
