Another Corbyn Story
We are having a Corbyn party apparently with all the stories doing the rounds.
http://
I can't comment on the legalities of the complaint but will say he and his followers are only complaining, in the same way the other side did before, because they think it is Unfare on them. As it stands he loses 20,000 votes. S the outcome predicted to be that close that those 20k matter?
They would not bat an eyelid if it didn't impact them. Mind you I suppose we are all like that lol

On the face of it, there appears to be double standards.
Members are being rejected if they are found to have made any support for another party. Yet Lord Sainbury gave the LibDems £2million earlier this year, and he gets to keep his membership. I am all for the rules being rigorously enforced, but the NEC are not being fair and even handed.
Once Corbyn is re-elected, I assume McNicol will be given his P.45 asap.

The opposition candidate, put up by the Blarite MPs, when asked to list the policies on which he differed from Corbyn, could not name a single one.
On the current hustings he seems to be just saying he agrees with all Corbyns policies, but vote for me because I'm not Corbyn.
Smith will of course lose. Then we will see if 230 Labour MPs believe in democracy or not. So far they have failed that test woefully.

He isn't assuming that.
A year ago he got 60% of the vote, second place got 20%.
Corbyn could lose tens of thousands from last time and still easily win.
And Owen Smith is a poor candidate compared to Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Smith. He only became an MP 6 years ago, has never been in Government, and has next to no experience.

The Labour Party itself has gone off the rails which is very sad for our political system as they really could have gone after the Tories after the General Election.Instead,they are anything but a strong opposition and that is unhealthy all round.
If Theresa May gets off to a solid start the Labour Party will need to get their act together very quickly.
I don't see any Labour revival any time soon - pity they haven't got a Flying Scotsman perhaps?

Birdie - a severe but realistic assessment.
I didn't know to much about Smith,probably because of his own inexperience,but you hit the nail on the head.As soon as he spoke about IS I thought 'this man is dangerous'.
I know there are one or two people on here who have stated that dialogue is always a possibility but this is not Northern Ireland Peace Talks,this is an enemy that will stop at nothing and want to crush us into granules to achieve their aims.
On that score alone,Smith lacks any shred of credibility...

//a dangerous, two-faced hypocrite....//
quite possibly. but he's a two faced hypocrite that commands overwhelming support from his party membership, and has presided over a growth in membership unparallelled in modern times, with over 100,000 added since the EU referendum.

his parliamentary party are less than enthusiastic but after Mr Corbyn is re-elected leader, they'll have a simple choice - hail to the chief, or face deselection. i have a fair idea which choice most will make, which will show them up to be as two-faced as the leader they purport to despise.
does party support transfer into general election votes? well, in labour stronghold constituencies, the voters would vote for a goat if it was wearing a red rosette. in the marginals though, the level of support might depend on dissatisfaction with theresa may. too many stories like this might swing it for Jeremy....
