Maybe she realised that some Muslim Labour voters wouldn't have known whether to vote for her or throw her off a roof......;)

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

She had an agreement with Smith that only one of them would challenge Corbyn - whoever got the support of most Labour MPs. Smith won that vote today. That's why she's abandoned her campaign.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

While she was dithering about the initial challenge, I don't recall Smith even being part of the equation so it seems like a bit of a weak excuse for her to stand down now. Maybe she was overconfident prior to making that agreement and thought she could bank on more support than was forthcoming. :shrug:

Either from what I've seen, Labour supporters now have a choice between Corbyn Snr and Corbyn Jnr.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Don't forget tht there is Legal Challenge, in the Courts to Challenge Jeremy Corbyn.

I cannot see even if Ms May went to the country, Corbyn winning.

I see yet again, The Labour Party has grown within the last two weeks, maybe its those stupid ***** that have paid £25 quid to join the party.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I see that well known working class warrior Emily 'White Van Man' Thornberry is taking up the post of Shadow Brexit Secretary. I'm surprised Corbyn hasn't given her a few more roles since he's so short of front bench options. I hope she's good at multitasking... :D

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

With all the NEW applicants to join the Labour Party, sadly l think its Corbynites. Who will vote for him.

This is NOT about an election for a new Leader. This is about how much the Party will make.

Smith is aa new boy to the party. So l think it will be Corbyn, he is buying his votes.

he WILL never BE party Leader

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

How much the party will make? you mean all those juicy £25 ?

180,000 * £25 = £450,000

Not bad.

Although you do realise a good many will be troll accounts who will vote for Corby 'just because' though don't you.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

You missed a zero off - try £4,500,000

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I'm completely done with the Labour Party. What a farce. Joined it to demonstrate my commitment to an opposition, that being essential to proper governance and I've gotten this.

I rather hope that Corbyn wins the ballot and the 'moderate' majority in the Labour Party grow a pair and realise that the membership are way out there, the leader is way out there and they belong somewhere else.

That somewhere else is probably with the Liberal Democrats in a new centrist party.

I could absolutely get on board with a party that's a bit to the left of the current Conservatives but quite a bit to the right of Corbyn's Labour, running on a compromise of ideology and pragmatism rather than head up arse per Corbyn and company, with a strong pro-EU and pro-internationalist stance.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

To me you should NOT have to pay money to join a Party. To me its all about Corbyn.

If he gets the vote, then l will NOT vote for Labour again. I have already emiled my Labour MP. She wont get my vote, is May goes to the country.

Id rather vote Tory, as they will definitely win.

Corbyn is a joke. And to think there was a no confidence vote - within six months of him being voting in.

I hope the prople that paid 25 smackers realise what they are doing.

LABOUR WILL NEVER WIN AN ELECTION WHILE CORBYN IS IN CHARGE

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

You know it; I know it, a sophisticated electorate knows it, Boaty McBoatface knows it and so, probably, does Mrs Corbyn.

There's just one person who thinks otherwise. He will spoil the whole (Labour) party;

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Iirc boaty mcboatface got more votes than the number of new labour party members and look how that turned out.
