Comrade Corbychev's Cock-Ups

Then everybody had better keep their fingers crossed!
What are the local party thinking of? Are they thinking at all?

According to the New Statesman, the NEC is expected to refuse to adopt Mandy Richards as a candidate. She was selected by the local party and hasn’t yet been vetted by the NEC.

According to the DM Mandy Richards 'forgot' to mention all the court orders banning her from vexatious litigation, police cautions etc on her application form to the Labour party - and then blamed the current furore on her colour!

Scroll below the Thornberry video , she was in top form in 2016 , Diane Abbott said she was obsessive

"Mandy Richards has made false accusations about the Met, the Army, MI5, MI6, Hackney Council, Royal Mail, her GP and the freeholder of her flat.

She has now been selected to try and overturn the 2,500 Conservative majority won by MP Robin Walker at the previous election."

You couldn't make it up. How on earth did this fantasist get to stand for Labour?

Is Labour looking to replace the Raving Loony Party?

Oh dear

I think so POGS, Julie Morgan fought her campaign on one member one vote, she did have the most votes but Carolyn Harris won. Not sure if Julie would have had more votes if she wasn't Rhodri Morgan's widow. Seems Welsh Labour is divided now .

I think Mark Drakeford looks like a bit of a shoo in .

Do you think there will be a huge push now for One Member One Vote rather than the Electoral College?

He has been first minister for nine years , we need him but I can understand why he has chosen to stand down , the suicide of a close friend is difficult to come to terms , with the family naturally want to believe the women lied , all so sad.

I don know anything about events since the apparent suicide and of course don’t prejudge the investigation. I was saddened but not surprised to hear Carwyn Js resignation speech, very moving.

I fear Corbyn's talons will reach us . Yes Carwyn deserves a thread but very few would be interested . Could be Plaid for me , sob

I think he was driven out, he has been under much strain since last Autumn .

Haven't heard if Huw Irranca-Davies will stand. He was an MP but left parliament after 14 years, shortly after Corbyn became leader , he then stood for election in the Welsh Assembly

Does Carwyn deserve his own thread?

Well, I was going to say that that was a surprise, but perhaps it was not as he must have been pondering this decision for a while.

I think you are right Anniebach - is there anyone strong enough to take over or will they be taken over by English Labour?

POGS, I haven't got over the shock. fear it will go further left. No love lost between Carwyn and Corbyn .

Already talk of Mark Drayford. If I could choose then Eluned Morgan , doubt she would win though .

Annei B

Can I ask , who would you like to see take over from Carwyn Jones?

Well Oldwoman, I do live in Wales ?

But Annie doesn't that mean you are a sheep unable to think for yourself - especially if you read the DM!

?, I will stick with our daily newspapers

Why am I not surprised Annie?

Day6, I remember a post giving a link to vox pox, written as I now know by - Mike Sivier the Holocaust denier, it claimed Corbyn was responsible for the Good Friday agreement , how involved he was.

I checked with someome who was involved and he roared with laughter

This, from the link you posted Annie. I found myself nodding in agreement. It confirmed my thinking - that many of those who support Corbyn will not see his faults, and ill not question what is happening to the Labour Party - ever.

"Back in the barmy spring of 2015, when Corbynistas first found themselves with voracious appetites for exclusively pro-Corbs narratives, an army of bloggers suddenly found themselves with an instant audience of thousands by simply penning articles in favour of the Labour leadership’s position on… well, anything really.

If Corbyn wanted to put a litter of puppies in the microwave, a phalanx of would-be journalists would be on hand to defend it as a socialist experiment

If the public didn’t buy it, they were either under the spell of a biased media or, as Sivier pointed out in his comment section in reference to Labour’s poor showing in the local elections in May 2017, simply “ignorant British people”. "

Hmmm.

Toxic must be viewed in different forms I guess.

Any comment on the debate?

Corbyn on tv today speaking of Arsene Wenger , he said Wenger has had so much abuse these last few months !

Yes.

Really?

There haven’t been any toxic threads for a little while thank Heavens.
