And the carnival continues, no doubt they will appeal to the Supreme Court, then if that fails 130,000 people will want their money back as they can't vote despite paying £25 each for the privilege.

I hope Labour just dies... and something else comes out of the ashes, it's beyond farcical.

They are nothing more than a protest party now

To add to its many existing woes, Labour has been infected by the sort of loonie lefties which used to 'run' Liverpool in Degsy Hatton's time. They'll go the same way too...

The £25 people can vote now, if this stands, it's the ones who didn't do that but signed up within the last 6 months or so who now cannot vote again.

I thought the £25 ones were those who signed up in the last 6 months.

No, there was a two day window for supporters to sign up a few weeks ago. Members who joined in the last 6 months however were banned from voting. The court said no, the appeal says yes.

Sounds like a Labour money making scam to me...

I hope Corbyn's cronies are as harsh upon those responsible as they are when it's BigCorp doing the ripping off.

There are so many people enjoying this implosion and whilst it could be argued labour under corbyn is worse then useless this is a major problem for the UK as our political system only works well with a strong and credible opposition and this whole shambles has gauranteed we won't have that for a long long time. In relation to corbyn personally i am starting to think he's an utter gutter dweller as i cannot believe he doesn't see the damage this is doing and no one who loved something could lead it's destruction as he is and be happy about it.

Right now the best thing he could do for the UK, the labour party and the people of the UK is to step down and go back to the backbenches but his ego isn't going to let him do that.

Maybe he's doing the best thing, by killing off Labour, which let's face it was a bit... meh and whatever forms out of the mess by actually be an opposition and not Tory Lite, I wouldn't have called Ed Milliband a 'credible and strong opposition' things did need to change, maybe the Corbyn effect will be that catalyst.

Labour leadership contender Owen Smith has been forced into an embarrassing clarification, saying he does not think there should be talks with Isis before the group "renounces violence".

His camp came under pressure to explain controversial comments he which he suggested there should be negotiations with the group to end the Syrian civil war.

Linky

Is this Smith's Trump moment?

techguyone · 17-08-2016, 17:43

Sounds like they're trying to out socialise each other, corby's soft on N I nutters, so Smith raises him IS.

Wow Labour's looking a good bet for the future. If only they can manage to ditch the Corbyn the Clingon, they'll have Kinnock # II running the party.

Smith will be easier to oust in future though and isn't going to go on a ideological purge of the party. It was a moronic thing to say although, unlike Corbyn, I don't think he believes it but is trying to win over a highly partisan crowd of obsessives.

Arthurgray50@blu · 17-08-2016, 21:21

I have sent loads of emails to my own MP and to the Labour Party office. Even the Unions that support Corbyn.

I haven't had one reply.

The Conservative Party will be in power for a Lon time.

I heard that the true Labour Party, have called on Ed Milibands brother, to come home and be part of the party again

As electorally useless as Kinnock was, he did just about manage to drag Labour back from the brink the last time it decided to go hard lefty. Owen Smith will probably not be a prime minister, but he might just keep the Labour party on the same planet as the electorate.
