I've just discovered Dan Jarvis MP.

Thornberry I think would work for anyone to further her career. Shami did well, inbthevlords for a few weeks work gringjngvthecredults he wanted. Diane is definitely on the far left - with the exception of preferring private education for her son.

I have come to the conclusion that they only reason he has these women running around him is that they are ambitious ladies, who are using him to get top jobs. Would any of those three be anywhere if any of the other 80% of the LPP was in charge? They MUST see his inadequacies and his unelectability.

Anniebach Mon 12-Dec-16 16:15:07

He does like lots if holidays Beam, can it be be felt hassled by the Syrian campaigners,?

Beammeupscottie Mon 12-Dec-16 14:55:12

I reckon he's cleared off to Mexico with the missus.

Seems Corbyn is so assured of the votes of the middle aged hippies, momentum and those who still refuse to accept they are being fooled, plus trots and militants he has little need to work, interviews send Emily, Shami or Diane , perhaps the sprouts in his allotment need his attention

Beammeupscottie Mon 12-Dec-16 10:56:09

Those three ladies should watch their backs. If you lie down with dirty dogs you get fleas. Corbyn is politically toxic and is probably, as we talk, being monitored by the spooks.

Anniebach Mon 12-Dec-16 10:17:10

Corbyn is now rather isolated , well he has Thornberry, Shami and Abbott , so sweet

rosesarered Mon 12-Dec-16 10:11:35

Citizen Corbyn will never condemn Russia.

rosesarered Mon 12-Dec-16 10:10:13

Aren't you a member of SWC?

Anniebach Mon 12-Dec-16 09:33:32

I await response from STW supporters

Copying from another thread as this was dicussed on another thread.

Peter Tatchell has form though doesn't he.

Who remembers we spoke on GN before about how upset he was at the Stop The War meeting chaired by Dianne Abbot last year.

leftfootforward.org/2015/11/stop-the-war-refuse-to-listen-to-syrians-during-debate-on-syria/

'According to human rights activist Peter Tatchell, who attended the event, no Syrians were included on the panel and the Syrian activists who turned up to the event were threatened with arrest.'

'Some Syrian victims of Assad’s brutalities turned up but were not allowed to speak. They eventually shouted out in frustration, turning the meeting into momentary chaos, as they were jeered by some of the audience and as StWC stewards tried to eject them – allegedly threatening that they’d be arrested. The police turned up soon afterwards.”

Tatchell went on: “Near the end of the meeting, I personally appealed to Diane Abbott to let the Syrians have their say, but she refused and closed the meeting.”'

One of the Syrian Activists 'MUZNA Al-NAIB'' spoke of this
on several t.v programmes but she went head to head with Dianne Abbot on Daily Politics. (not sure if still available to view)

He feels there is a 'hypocrisy' concerning Corbyn and 'connected organisations' and the 'strength' of their view between Syria and Saudi Arabia.

durhamjen Sun 11-Dec-16 23:34:50

Rubbish, Annie. Corbyn has condemned all attacks, including Russia. There are fourteen countries involved in Syria. Strangely only Russia and Assad get in the papers.

Anniebach Sun 11-Dec-16 23:23:33

The only hypocrisy can be laid at Corbyns door,hd refused to condemn Russia and this is all was asked of him , seems he has no problem with Russia

durhamjen Sun 11-Dec-16 23:17:07

I thought you were all for exposing hypocrisy, Annie.

Anniebach Sun 11-Dec-16 23:07:55

Best leave it Jen, bringing in pedophilia is sinking to new depths .

I apologise to all for my part in this

durhamjen Sun 11-Dec-16 21:42:26

So in a letter where he says several of his friends gay and straight had sex with adults from the ages of nine to thirteen, it's the Guardian that is taking it out of context, and I make this thread sickening for mentioning it?
REALLY, Annie?
YOU condemn ME for sticking up for Corbyn?
REALLY, Annie?

Well thank goodness he backtracked from his earlier statements. Perhaps he should have been more careful before he wrote that letter in the first place, rather than blaming everyone else for misunderstanding what he said.

Anniebach Sun 11-Dec-16 20:48:19

Wow I did a blue link , applause please

Really Annie? For condemning someone who supports paedophilia?

Anniebach Sun 11-Dec-16 20:28:53

Do you nightowl, you are joining in what you consider sickening by the by
