Jonathan Lansman

Thanks Anniebach too.

It's Corbyns new , kinder politics at work obieone , Daphne is an example of it

Thanks a bunch aniebach. Not even a Labour supporter, but your knd words have really brightened up my day.
Now nigglynellie would you just point out fir me the question posed in the original post? I seem to have missed it,
I don't actually know anything about him. But I think that a person who set up Momentum with apparent such success, needs to be talked about

Just for information

Well now, I didn't know iam64 worked for the Labour Party.
Isn't that breaching anonymity?
How do you come by this insider information??

Iam said she canvassed for the party , this is working fir the party, I am secretary of our local branch, I telephone cavassed, I knock doors, I stand at country show stands with a table promoting the party, i donate , this too is working for the party

Does donating or canvassing either in person or by phone give one insights into the Labour Party big guns then?

If you feel interested in somebody and want to find out more about them then starting a discussion on the subject is bound to lead to questions, which is exactly what the opening post was inviting, quite properly, for those who are interested. I'm not a Labour supporter either, but I take an interest in political parties other than the one I support, and at times agree with them. For me, nothing is written in stone, and I am always happy to listen to other points of view which can often be interesting and informative. Everyone is allowed their ideas and opinions, and others can disagree, and agree to disagree, without being unpleasant. We're all thoughtful adults and really should be able to discuss our politics in a thoughtful adult way.

I'm interested in my grandson learning the guitar, but I'm not intrigued by it!

Hang on, surely a civil question as posed by obieone in her original and subsequent posts deserves a civil answer

Nope, still haven't spotted the civil question

Try it Daphne, you may be surprised

Well, you can certainly spot the disrespectful reply!!

She didn't ask a question, she stated that Jonathan Lansman needs to be talked about, almost dictatorial. I'll decide who I 'need' to know about.

Petra, surely a suggestion not almost dictatorial ?

Well if Jon Lansman needs to be talked about I cede the floor to anybody who wants to Obieone and invite her to talk about him.

Oh for heaven's sake, nothing even remotely dictatorial, it was just an innocuous comment/query, however you want to view it that people could join in or not as they saw fit. No one was making you join in petra in any shape or form, so no need to ruffle your feathers!

Well, I know a little bit more about Jon Lansman than I did this morning. This interview in the Statesman is quite interesting...

PS. I don't think I like him very much (but maybe that's just me).

A would-be "eminence grise" or Warwick the Kingmaker?

He does tend to contradict himself

Very much a 'would be' (but not sure what) and he's certainly 'gris'.

Anyone who rarely gives interviews, and is yet very influential needs a close look at.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. All political leaders have people working behind the scenes. And the conspiracy theory about mandatory reelection is yet to be proved.

This is interesting.

Maybe the consensus is that JL doesn't need to be talked about after all. Hardly riveting

Sounds like he is deliberately secretive. So he definitely needs to be talked about.

I wonder if people are frightened of him?
