Labour now

" POGS there is always "Mrs do as you would be done by" as well."

Hmm.

Perhaps if I abide by that saying I would be entitled to use the word 'hate/hated ' when talking about Left Wing voters who seem to find it fair game to use the word against anybody who votes Conservative. I would never do that so I won't be bothering in this instance but thank you for the advice.

My mistake POGS. So who was the person it referred to?

If people do stop voting Labour I wonder how the parties will split - in terms of support not the parties themselves - and if any more new parties will appear. If Labour started to disappear it would, I think, affect views of the Conservative Party. We could have a completely different set of parties on offer in five years (or less) time.

My worry is not about one party but whether we pay enough to get good enough people to run each and every one of them.

Thank you Ana, wonder if he will have to write more letters saying - I am very cross you ignored the whip, really very , very cross. That scared them last time.

No, Annie, he was too busy whipping his MPs into line - must have taken longer than he thought!

" Don't be so unkind to AB POGS. "

Oh, I don't think Anniebach displays such a lack of perception as to the reason behind my post and to whom it referred .

Have I defended him ? I don't think I have, only commented on what might have been posted. It's nothing to do with Corbyn more a comment on some people and their opinions.
POGS another one comes to mind "Would the Lord the gift a gie us..."

Trisha I know I said there would be strong defence of his actions but you have surpassed my expectations, it was the fault of those who critcise him who are responsible for him not bothering to turn up after his rallying call on Twitter ?

I thought he may have mislaid his diary

Ah but if he had turned up it would be another opportunity to warn about Momentum and the secret (or not so secret) plot to take over the Labour Party.
POGS there is always "Mrs do as you would be done by" as well.

Don't be so unkind to AB POGS.

Great leaders come in all types, some are good, some are really not.

Flipping heck the terms ' practice what you preach' and 'do as I say not do as I do' come to mind.

Criticism of a politician no matter the party is acceptable, constant criticising of posters is ill mannered

Sorry Nightowl, I missed your post because of a ring at the door. I think that sad picture really does sum up this thread.

I'm not really bothered about JC - great leaders come in all types and some are good, some are really not. There are also leaders who fill an interim or a change period but whatever the role JC plays, I am happy to wait and see.

What I am interested in is where the party stands and what they are offering and I have seen some really good people coming forward recently - not the usual faces. They seem to be on top of their brief and voicing interesting suggestions. Perhaps those who only want to talk about Mr Corbyn could have a separate "slag off Corbyn" thread so that those of us who want to understand the thinking going on in and around Labour at the moment could avoid it? All the personal attacks on him are just tedious.

Good grief, he has lost the plot, you vote for it whilst I demonstrate against it , that's leadership, that is tumbleweed

Thank you Ana

I await the strong defence for his actions,

You'll like this, Annie!

I was referring to this thread though petra, not the Labour Party

thank you Petra, I couldn't see it

Annie Its tumbleweed.

What is it?

Nightowl soooo good, says it all. My OH laughed and he's a Labour Party member.
It's bad, isn't it when someone like the OH who could no more vote anything other than labour laughs at your picture.

For you GG

Annie it tells me that not that many migrant workers are believing the hype, Re being kicked out of the uk. The numbers speak for themselves.

If only 150 marched for workers rights what does this tell us ?

Strange only 150 at a momentum rally with Corbyn as the main attraction Chewbacca
