Comrade Corbychev's Cock-Ups

It would be helpful if the likes of Jess Phillips came up with some solutions rather than just criticism. What has Jess done in her own constituency to promote Labour to the group she's taking about. Most councillors in wards in her constituency are LibDems so maybe she hasn't got the answers? As for her being a "straight politician", well she's not quite the working class Brummie that she likes to claim

Oh? What is she then, an eccentric billionaire?

I’m not sure that that’s the alternative lemon probably a little bit more nuanced than that

bmacca that’s the problem with Corbyn admirers, they even do down their own Labour MP’s if they say anything they don’t like.
Perhaps she should be ‘deselected’ eh?

What a strange comment, lemongrove. I haven't mentioned deselecting anyone. I do think that when MPs make these criticisms, then part of their job is to come up with solutions

I see no-one has come up with an excuse why Corbyn has cancelled his visit to Barnet

Labour MP’s are not allowed to come up with solutions, they have to be ‘on message’ as does Corbyn, hence the written questions at PMQ,

lemon was not quoting anyone on this thread when she spoke of deselection, she asked a question , perhaps she should be deselected ?

Corbyn is visiting Barnet on Tuesday sunseeker.

Thanks mostly - I hadn't heard that

Jess Philips is a very good self publicist.
She also used to boast about having told Dianne Abbot to F**k off, although she is backtracking on that now.
She also said that she would "stab Corbyn in the front", now I am not going to deliberately misunderstand that remark, what she meant was that she would oppose him publicly, and not behind his back. But imagine the outcry there would have been if a Corbyn supporter had made that remark, outrage! snide comments about a "gentler sort of politics under Corbyn".

As for Labour politicians not being 'allowed' to suggest solutions, a strong woman like Jess Philips would not be cowed by that, if she had an opinion on a solution she would not be afraid to give it.

Heidi Alexander is leaving parliament, she stood down from Corbyn’s cabinet in 2016 stating ‘the whole operation was f*****g useless’

Wonder if Dan Jarvis will also stand down too

Yes, I just heard that Annie ( and I expect that it remains
Just as useless to this day.)

A friend of Heidi , a Tory MP, said she was driven out by the far left

Oh, anniebach a Conservative MP states that a Labour MP was driven out by the far left. How surprising, but some might think that was Tory propaganda.

However anniebach, you as a fifty year member of Labour party you are repeating that Tory propaganda on this forum. What's happened to your loyalty in regard to the party that you have supported for so many years Annie (tut, tut)
LOL

I am repeating what a friend who happens to be a Tory said, note - friend , surely no one thinks those in different parties can’t be friends

I think some do think that Annie good job it isn't the case though as up until the last GE, Mr. S. and I always counted out one another's votes because we voted for different parties.

We did the same thing in the Brexit referendum.

As for her being a "straight politician", well she's not quite the working class Brummie that she likes to claim
I think that Jess Phillips's background is very similar to that of Corbyn but not quite as posh - although she did make it through university.
Does he also like to portray himself as a "straight politician" too?

I think Harriet Harman had him sussed when she said:
"It is quite surprising to discover that I'm, possibly, not old enough or posh enough to be the frontrunner of this current leadership election."

Heidi Alexander employed a private health lobbyist as an advisor, and she spoke at a private health conference. I think the BHS will be safer without her in Parliament

What is HH talking about? Her father was a consultant, her mother a solicitor and she went to St Paul’s. Anyway, regardless, that sort of talk is pathetic

Just repeating what she said at the time of the leadership contest marye!
She obviously thought that Jeremy was posher.

British Home Stores Ilovecheese ? I think they are only online now.
I do miss them.

Oops, sorry. Not used to a tablet!

Are they online? I didn't know.

Off to look

No she didn’t Jal as you well know - she was having a pathetic untrue pop at JC which you were happy to repeat without caring whether it was true or not.

Oh dear; the fact that she said it is true.
Just because she is related to aristocracy by marriage doesn't make her any posher than Jeremy Corbyn.
