Corbyn & Sultana (also irreverently known as The Fruit & Nut Party) slinging accusations at each other.

She says it’s ’a sexist boy’s club’.
He’s furious because she went ‘off piste’ and asked for donations on line.

Oh dear.

Getting off on a good footing aren’t they?
Tooting Popular Front was more organised than this lot.

Actually, whilst I think it is very funny, the issues with members money is quite serious, reading the comments on her twitter, it seems people are having difficulty getting refunds, having to cancel their cards, etc. It isn't really treating people with fairness and dignity is it.

This is the point, it’s not funny at all. While I’m quite prepared to believe women in politics are frequently sidelined (nothing to do with left or right - just life as we know it), I don’t know what on earth Zarah Sultana thought she was doing setting up a payment portal for donations online without consulting any of the other founding members. What a mess.

Hadn't heard of Maintsream, thanks.
Any views on how the new Green Party leader is getting on?
Such a pity that the Reform Party is turning into a Retirement Home for clapped out Tories.

Mainstream - one of the hottest topics in LP meetings atm.

Yes, in the meantime Farage gains support!

I expect no more from Corbyn, he always was a maverick, but really any others should think again for the future of the Labour party.

Honestly, such high drama. I remember Corbyn being so grumpy with journalists , “let me finish “ he’d snarl. He doesn’t like it up him MrMannering

😁

He tries to come over as affable and kind but he's not.

Apparently Corbyn says it will be named properly in October.

Please call it "The Banana Party"
I want to see the headline : Banana splits.

I know. I need to get out more. 😂

Oh flippin' heck, FGT2
I should have chosen white wine not red this evening!

Allira! 😂

Musing here who Jeremy Corbyn reminds me of. Then it came to me ….. Wilfred Brambell!

There's solid joke along the lines of...
“What do you get if you put three Socialists in a room together?”
“Two new parties and a break away faction...”

And on that note, I bid you all goodnight. x
