what's happenning to Labour?

[Spicerack]

The answer is in your link...Corbyn.

//for two deputy leaders in the future which reflects diversity within our society, so one would be a woman.//

How about a Jew instead?

[naomi24]

Momentum's motto .... Any which way.

[Old_Geezer]

Why not deputise them all. Of course there'd need to be a pecking order or they'd all try to take over when the opportunity came.

[ToraToraTora]

in order to cover all the bases labour would need to have 1 of all 100 genders, 1 disabled one of each of the 100 genders and of course one of the 7 main races, so really they need 1400 deputy leaders.

//so really they need 1400 deputy leaders....//

….multiplied by how many religions, TTT?

I think the resignation of Andrew Fisher is rather more serious.
He seems to have lost any faith in Corbyn.

[ToraToraTora]

good point mush !

//He seems to have lost any faith in Corbyn.//

Who hasn't?

Pretty damning when it comes from that quarter

They know that they will not win the forthcoming General Election and Corbyn will go shortly after. So they have already started to squabble (like only the broken Labour Party can) over who will be the next captain of the sinking ship.
When Corbyn goes, the Deputy Leader will be caretaker for a short time, and Momentum do not want that, because Watson could influence who is successor to Corbyn.
The fudge to have a jobshare deputy leader and Labour’s NEC will decide the caretaker means that Watson is still neutralised as a threat.
And Momentum and the NEC will choose lefty Angela Raynor and crown her Labour’s first Leader.

* ...and crown her Labour’s first Female Leader. *

What's the betting Corbyn is thinking of Diane Abbot as joint deputy leader?

[ToraToraTora]

I'd love to see the Abacus as Labour leader, what a laugh that would be!

[agchristie]

Wonder if there is a role for Deputy Dawg to join?

Not forgetting sidekick (R)uskie.

[Theyaretheeggmen]

Watching clips of the Monday proceedings I couldn't decide whether it was more akin to a Nuremberg Rally or a Billy Graham Evangelistic Meeting.

[david small]

Muskie.....Moscowvite?

[Jackdaw33]

Abbott as deputy leader! That would be the icing on the cake.
