Here you are.

All Corbyn critics etc can now have a thread all to yourselves.

A note from my MP. He’s a star!!

Peter Kyle MP
@peterkyle
A word to the dozens of party members who contacted me saying they weren’t voting Labour: don’t worry, I won’t grass you up to the Corbyn Inquisition! They can flog me, pack me off to re-education camp or force me to read Das Kapital day and night...but I won’t break I promise!

Kezia Dugdale told Labour supporters to vote Tory in marginals to keep the SNP out at the last GE.THATs why there are 13 tory MP's in Scotland .Kezia didn't get suspended ,now why is that ?

Devisive sorry

That’s a fair point but I think Brexit has almost stopped any other debate.

Also the Labour Party policy was to honour the ref, as was Tory, and neither seem to want to deliver it.

For sure labour has some dam good policies but for me I can’t stick JC and find the structure of momentum strangling the party sinister.

The Tory policies are selfish decisive and cruel.

AS usual a lot of anti-Corbyn posts but no-one admitting that actually they are quite happy to leave this dreadful administration to continue because they don't really care. They are far too busy making accusations about other things. I don't propose to enter the anti-semitism debate it has been gone over and over. AC is on another thread. But I will ask this. Is a party simply its leader and not the party policies? I found Tony Blair obnoxious but as long as he stuck to Labour policies I was happy to vote Labour. The war in Iraq was too much. But what policies do all these people on GN who harp on about Corbyn actually dislike?

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 15:43:59

Please tell me what filthy lies I have told about you? If not I will report myself and let gransnet judge.

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 15:41:57

Sorry Filthy lies

What???

I said Corbyn allows anti
Semitism to flourish in the party. If you support Corbyn you support his leadership.

Labour is the only other party to be examined like this except the BNP. Members are being investigated by the police after many reports by labour that it’s not occurring and nothing to see here.

How is any of that Filthy lies it’s fact.

To be fair MH said before the election he would not vote Tory where Campbell said it afterwhen he couldn’t influence anyone

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 15:15:25

And MaryEliza the Tory party are utterly hopeless too.

The lot of them are like cats in bags

At any other time or day of course if you vote against your party you should be expelled but he’s the embodiment of the ‘people’s vote’

Labour seem to be creeping towards a people’s vote or ref 2 so you would think Corbyns political sense would have triumphed over his clear hatred of Campbell.

I don’t agree with Campbell just thinking the timing was crazy coupled with the investigation into anti semitism and the fact that many racists have been allowed back into labour or not expelled.

Corbyn must be madder than even I thought grin

GillT57 Tue 28-May-19 15:02:04

Maryeliza I hadn't clicked that MH was Heseltine, thus my query re Tory party expulsions.

Urmstongran Tue 28-May-19 14:58:15

I was only posting news not intending a slur. And you’re right about the Tory party maryeliza and all the others probably!
?

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:48:03

AC has been discussed elsewhere already - I made the point that MH has had the Tory whip withdrawn but hey, only the LP can do bad things I know and the Tories are beyond reproach.

Urmstongran Tue 28-May-19 14:44:12

Alistair Campbell has been expelled from the LP for voting Lib Dems in the EU election.

He should’ve just done so quietly but obviously he had encouraged others to do likewise.

What did he expect?

Mind you he’s going to appeal.

FFS mycat how much clearer can I be? I am highly critical of so much of the LP -many of the PLP and most of the front bench and Leadership. But I just get bored out of my skull by the mindless bile and repetitive JC bashing on here by the mostly right wing who if they don’t now support the Tories are followers of the Great Leader NF and with whom it’s impossible to have any sensible debate on policy issues.

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:40:06

Proud???

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:39:56

Jackie walker the disgraceful racist... 3 yesrs during which she was paraded as a heroine

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:37:18

The only other party that has been investigated by the commission is the BNP!

Disgraceful

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:31:23

You know my distain of the Tories! What about you and Corbyn

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:30:39

Are you proud of labour today under Corbyn MaryEliza?

Seriously are you?

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:29:24

Contract the expulsion between Campbell and the vile anti Semite Livingstone.

Totally disgraceful

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:28:13

Actually Gill I think as I said upthread that throwing out in this set of circumstances is ludicrous regardless of the person.

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:26:07

I thought it was ridiculous as well that the Tories took the whip from MH ( he and KC are the the repository of the minuscule remains of what used to be the Tory conscience)
