A small number of back benchers will announce they are leaving the party this morning.

Chuka Umunna is one who may be among them.

A discussion on the Labour Party but only praise for Corbyn wanted .

lemongrove Thu 28-Feb-19 11:07:44

What a weird and grumpy response Rowantree !
You are saying that if people don’t agree with you and a few others they should start their own club ( thread).
The Devil incarnate ? Corbynsuccubus? Shudder.....did you have to put that image in our minds.?

Anniebach Thu 28-Feb-19 09:57:58

Rowantree perhaps you will explain why criticism of a politician is - criticism , but criticism of Corbyn is Corbyn bashing ?

Rowantree Thu 28-Feb-19 09:52:22

humptydumpty Corbyn-bashing? That is indeed what this thread is all about. 'I saw Goody humpty/ trisher/Rowantree etc/ with the devil....!'

And of course the devil incarnate is that despicable evil Red One under the Bed, Corbynsuccubus.

Anniebach To imply that Humpty is uncritical of 'any politician' because she is standing up to the unpleasant, venomous mud-slinging gang mentality is offensive.

Humpty suggest that if you want a real discussion or debate, start a new thread instead and leave them to it. :-D

John Mann could never be LP leader. He is an extreme brexiter, while the majority of LP voters, LP members and LP MPs want the UK to remain in the EU.

grannypauline Tue 26-Feb-19 17:35:26

If John Mann were leader I would still vote Labour, especially if the party continues with an an anti-austerity programme.

However, he voted:
For the Iraq War and against an investigation into it.
For the replacement of Trident.

So, nope, not my choice for leader.

Criticism , as we all do when discussing politicians, you may be an exception and find no weakness or fault in any politican humpydumpty considering the number of posts on this political thread you haven’t read any untill today ?

humptydumpty Tue 26-Feb-19 16:08:21

I see this has degenerated into yet another JC-bashing thread.

Urmstongran Tue 26-Feb-19 10:59:43

Just been listening to John Mann (a Leave MP with a 70% vote Leave constituency) being interviewed by (Remainer) Adam Boulton on Sky.

If John Mann were leader of the Labour Party it would be a different kettle of fish. I’d definitely vote Labour then.

Anniebach Mon 25-Feb-19 22:07:46

He makes Boris Johnson seem honourable

Anniebach Mon 25-Feb-19 22:06:56

His hypocrisy will hang him , hopefully

Mycatisahacker Mon 25-Feb-19 22:06:25

He’s so incompetent it’s sad

Jabberwok Mon 25-Feb-19 21:56:57

He's just frightful in every respect. Politicians on all sides are pretty grim, but for barefaced deceit, dear old Jeremy takes the biscuit! How on earth can anyone believe one word he says?!!! Tbh, I'm speechless at the twisting and turning of this dreadful man.

Anniebach Mon 25-Feb-19 21:31:35

We mustn’t forget he promised a gentler , kinder politics, problem is he forgot

lemongrove Mon 25-Feb-19 21:27:22

How long can you continue to deny it because it makes you uncomfortable?

lemongrove Mon 25-Feb-19 21:26:17

trisher.....are you ‘aving a laff’ ?!
You say ‘ IF there is evidence of anti-semitism in the LP then I think it will be dealt with’.
IF???
And it hasn’t been dealt with so far.
Everybody bar you recognises the many many anti-semitic
Words and actions of LP members.

Anniebach Mon 25-Feb-19 21:18:49

He can’t risk losing more MP’s, he would sell his soul

Jabberwok Mon 25-Feb-19 21:15:40

This man is the most duplicitous person that ever ran a political party! A eurosceptic all his life, completely opposed to a second referendum, but has clearly had a word with St Paul!!!! However, if we stay in the EU, it will surely put an end to a lot of his aspirations including renationalisation which would be a small bonus!

Mycatisahacker Mon 25-Feb-19 20:34:22

grin

Anniebach Mon 25-Feb-19 20:21:02

The way I feel at the moment I hope he would aim a gun higher than his foot.

POGS Mon 25-Feb-19 20:13:20

Will Corbyn be able to keep his promises of renationalisation if we stay in the EU?

Corbyn and his supporters might be shooting themselves in the foot.

Anniebach Mon 25-Feb-19 20:07:48

They don’t want to lose more MP’s and need the votes of the young who are mostly remainers, bet he is feeling pig sick

varian Mon 25-Feb-19 19:06:52

I agree, interesting times indeed.

Mycatisahacker Mon 25-Feb-19 18:38:55

This is a move to stop the haemorrhaging of labour voters away from labour.

The problems in labour still exist.

But interesting times.

varian Mon 25-Feb-19 18:28:52

The Labour Party may not yet be dead. They seem to be about to endorse a People's Vote!!!
