Corbyn Doesn't Not Do A Motion Of No Confidence...

[Kromovaracun]

Last night Jeremy Corbyn tabled a Motion of No Confidence... In the Prime Minister personally, rather than the government.

In contrast to a normal MONC, this is a completely non-binding motion and would be purely symbolic. But Labour have indicated that if the govt doesn't make time for his meaningless MONC (which the govt can probably win), then he might be forced to use the proper one. Meanwhile the Lib Dems and Greens are trying pointlessly to amend his pointless motion to make it less pointless...

Just what is the Leader of the Opposition playing at? What on earth is the point of all this?

TTT, maybe so......but not with the interests of the UK, as a whole, at heart. Just his own ambitions and the ambitions of the Marxist cabal that surround him.

Can we be sure that some people on this web site arent the ones writing all the anti- Corbyn gubbins in the DM? Oh dear no! Not Jeremy Corbyn! You might have to help the less fortunate, out of your pocket, if he gets in power!
As I said recently on here, the politicians should consult the frightened scaremongers on AB. Everyone on here has the solutions.

Well done Mr Corbyn , wake this Dozy , useless, Incompetent Tory Government up , the only thing they have achieved, since coming into power, is dividing the UK.

//Well done Mr Corbyn , wake this Dozy , useless, Incompetent Tory Government up //

er, well done for what? he had an open goal and he bottled it. as a leader of the opposition, the man is a complete lemon. god alone knows how (in)effective he'd be as head of government.....

This morning No.10 was openly challenging Labour to try and bring down the govt, according to the FT. A challenge which has so far gone unanswered...

That master plan of Corbyn's doesn't seem to be going too well.

did she say "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!" ? PMSL

[Kromovaracun]

How on earth did Corbyn manage to turn the current situation into a mess for Labour? By all rights they should be cleaning up.

What a tit.

"Hardly a great victory, but a victory nonetheless, so what should he have said?"

He didn't need to mention it at all: could have pointed out that "despite our differences blah blah blah ...."
But no. I looked for a hint of a knowing smile, but saw none ...

Meanwhile we can only watch in awe as Jeremy Corbyn manages to make himself look like the loser. Being challenged to call a vote of no confidence by Theresa May. The fox turns on the hound and says: "go on, eat me". And the hound has to shrug sheepishly (or houndishly) and hope no one notices it hasn't got its false teeth in. Staggering.

Ah, right. I see what you mean.

Jeremy Corbyn - May's secret weapon.

[Kromovaracun]

Indeed Danny. I'd actually wager he has reduced the chances of a "proper" MONC succeeding!

The Momentum crowd on Twitter seemed convinced that this is a master stroke, though. Anazing.

Corbyn's in exactly the same position as May's Tory challengers: he wants the job but not right now, not till after Brexit. He's trying to make life hard for May, not oust her.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Maybe he doesnt want the job as whoever gets it finishes up with the same issues which I think he and his party are ill equipped to resolve.

[gulliver1]

Think this present Tory Shower ,who are just about in charge at the moment, clinging on by the skin of their teeth , will go down in the History books as The most incompetent Post War Government .

[naomi24]

Hmmm... don't know about that .... and of course there's always the potential of a Corbyn run government to consider....

[ichkeria]

What Corbyn doesn’t want is for the issue of where he stands on Brexit to be forced. If he wins oscene if he loses he’ll have to come out and either support a referendum or disappoint his deluded Momentum followers who seen to think he is championing their cause.
Meanwhile, Imagine a labour government voted in after 3 more years of economic difficulties: in a no deal Brexit world it is highly likely that there would be any regulation to stop McDonnell and co doing their worst - and be careful what you wish for ...

[dannyk13]

Naomi /and of course there's always the potential of a Corbyn run government to consider....//
In other words a Momentum run government.

[ludwig]

jno // Corbyn's in exactly the same position as May's Tory challengers: he wants the job but not right now, not till after Brexit. He's trying to make life hard for May, not oust her. //

I think that's about right. Once Brexit's over and done (however that happens) whoever takes over wants to be able to blame all subsequent bad things on her disastrous handling of it.

[naomi24]

danny, indeed.

No Deal is not an option says Maybe a few weeks ago. and this morning she has held a meeting with her Cabinet to discuss a No deal.
