Just saying........

Corbyn is in favour of Leave, and has ruled out a 2nd referendum. Maybe 17 million people could reconsider where their next vote goes? An no I never once thought in a million years I would vote Corbyn. But then I never thought I would be told I'm a racist uneducated porper either lol.

I've never been an activist but I think I might quite like disrupting the establishment, an out of 17 million I bet I'm not the only one thinking the way I am.

If this is true, then Corbyn is most likely going:

Corbyn office 'sabotaged' EU Remain campaign - sources

Quote:

And documents passed to the BBC suggest Jeremy Corbyn's office sought to delay and water down the Labour Remain campaign. Sources suggest that they are evidence of "deliberate sabotage".

One email from the leader's office suggests that Mr Corbyn's director of strategy and communications, Seumas Milne, was behind Mr Corbyn's reluctance to take a prominent role in Labour's campaign to keep the UK in the EU. One email, discussing one of the leader's speeches, said it was because of the "hand of Seumas. If he can't kill it, he will water it down so much to hope nobody notices it".

I have updated thread title.

The Labour party is in Crisis, with all these departures from the Shadow Cabinet, I cannot see Jeremy lasting much longer. I don't like Labour after their 13 years in power and how they left country and various other issues. But Jeremy Corbyn makes me hate the Labour Party even more. My parents who were very strong Labour supporters, cannot stand the man, they think he is an 'arrogant pig'.

I agree mostly with what his own Labour MPs are saying about him, that he lacks leadership, he is a good campaigner (except where it is being said, he ran a lack-luster EU campaign for the Remain side), but that is as far as his qualities lie.

Thread title updated yet again.....

Reporting on Sky News just now that Tom Watson has wrote a letter of disappointment that Hilary Benn has been sacked and that 9, yes that is now 9, Shadow Cabinet members who have resigned in protest of JC's poor leadership, Tom Watson said in this letter, the Country needs right now Strong opposition leadership, so he is not exactly supporting JC it would seem and not exactly ruling himself out either, if a leadership contest was to take place, which I suspect is increasingly likely with all these resignations.

What has Jeremy Corbin failed to do? Talk Labour voters into voting remain, when in their hearts they wanted to leave?

Shouldn't the Labour party be respecting the wishes of their voters, not telling them what to vote?

The Remain Labour MPs need to get over the referendum result and recognise that a sizeable chunk of their voters wanted to leave.

Seem that Jeremy Corbin got the mood of Labour voters right with his 7-7.5 support of being in.

Well the majority of Labour voters voted in and Labour believe he could have done more to increase that number. He failed to lead the Labour party and he failed to make a dent in the campaign. The stories coming out of the party are absurd. He wouldn't campaign with other parties, he dropped EU messages out of speeches, he didn't go to campaign in areas he was asked to campaign in, they refused to share voter information with the IN campaign and the party even had to beg him not to go to Turkey to make a speech promoting the idea of open borders between them and the EU!

Apparently Blair and Brown were sent in to make speeches to activists because Corbyn wouldn't.

I suspect that 'Out' Labour voters were pretty determined in their view and wouldn't have changed that, even if Jeremy Corbyn had campaigned more. My impression is that Labour are failing to appreciate that their stance on 'In', was not shared by a substantial number of Labour voters. They need to 'get that' and not look for a scapegoat in Corbyn.

And I say that as someone doesn't think Corbyn is the right person to lead the Labour Party. But his reserved/luke-warm support for the EU could make him the right leader for any cross party EU exit negotiations.

Re: Labour Party Crisis: Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn & 10 members of Shadow Cabinet Resi
 
There has needed to be a clean out in the political ranks for a while seems the Westminster village has decided now is the time. Labour parliamentary party may not support corbyn anymore but ordinary members are likely still behind him and if a leadership vote comes up I think he will still get a strong showing. Our politics is such a complete mess at the minute and partly it's down to the EU in terms of being a convenient scapegoat and as the next job for failed domestic politicians now we the public have voted out the political chickens are running around headless.

As I'm not nor will ever be a labour voter not really comfortable about recommending their leadership for them but as a firm believer in our democracy I recognise the need for a strong opposition and we haven't had that during corbyns time as leader. I'm not sure why anyone suddenly expected him to be a tower of strength during the referendum campaign when he hasn't been beforehand.

Our politics has gone ever more cronky since we had the Conservatives field people like Hague & IDS on that side, and then everyone was conned by Blair for a good while, and the Labour party turned into ToryLite

Our entire politics have been a joke for a while, and are badly in need for some modernising. They don't fit the 21st Century at all, couple that with Gen Snowflake and the 'We need safe spaces to debate' lot and drastic change is desperately required

I wonder how another AV type vote would go now, instead of the FPTP?

For all the 'GenSnowflake' nonsense it's worth remembering that the new generations of young people don't get the support their parents did. Tuition frees tripled, benefits slashed and unaffordable house prices. Not to mention having to access the job market in the aftermath of 2008....The task of paying back the deficit has been placed largely on their shoulders.

Why? Did Brexit make assaulting an assistant producer OK?

Re the Banana regulation, I thought that
Quote:

The regulation applies to unripened green bananas, and thus to growers and wholesalers rather than retailers.[3] The main provisions of the regulation were that bananas sold as unripened, green bananas should be green and unripened, firm and intact, fit for human consumption, not "affected by rotting", clean, free of pests and damage from pests, free from deformation or abnormal curvature, free from bruising, free of any foreign smell or taste
seemed quite reasonable.

They quashed it as it created huge amounts of waste! Not reasonable at all!!!!


n 29 July 2008, the European Commission held a preliminary vote concerning the repeal of certain regulations related to the quality of specific fruit and vegetables that included provisions related to size and shape. According to the Commission's press release, "In this era of high prices and growing demand, it makes no sense to throw these products away or destroy them." The Agriculture Commissioner stated, "This is a concrete example of our drive to cut red tape and I will continue to push until it goes through. [...] It shouldn't be the EU's job to regulate these things. It is far better to leave it to market operators."[10] Regulation 1221/2008 took effect as of 1 July 2009. Though neither the press release cited above nor Regulation 1221/2008 made any mention of bananas or Regulation 2257/94, some reports of the changes treated them as including the banana quality standards regulation and contained explicit or apparent references to this regulation, using expressions such as "the infamous 'straight banana' ruling".[1

No-one asked for your opinion.

Also, the title was right, 11 MPs resign and one was sacked (So far as of 23:12).

And you are wrong.

I updated the thread title when I posted about the last Shadow cabinet MP who resigned, and changed it to 11.

tbh none of these people supported JC anyway. I had some respect for Hilary Benn but the way he manufactured his own dismissal for media purposes was disappointing, he should have just resigned Since then it seems to be a carefully co-ordinated timetable of resignations. JC was over whelmingly elected, and the MPs can't get round the fact he has massive party support.

My own opinion is that he has to go for the greater good. He's far to honest, straight talking and lacking in spin to be a leader/PM. The British like their leaders to be lying, coniving, backstabbing power grabbers - and JC is none of these.

If he was such a "honest, straight talking and lacking in spin" sort of guy, why did he pretend to back the Remain campaign when he believed otherwise?

because that's what the party instructed him to do - called collective decision-making.

The Tories are known for their disagreements within the party on Europe, the other parties less so. Maybe the other parties need to let go a little more so Corbyn and others in the party can be honest and say what they believe.

True it can cause dissension but, like the Tories, they just get on with it afterwards, a bit of murmuring and deals and back stabbing but they'd cohere nicely when presented with an external "threat".

Well apparently he was asked on what way he voted in the referendum from several Labour MP's and refused to answer the question but the speculation is he voted to leave.

Not ideal. Need a decent opposition to hold government to account. As it is we have neither.

Good drama, not so hot for the country as a whole.

You reap what you sow.

The Labour Party and its followers can be blamed for the entire scenario the country now finds itself in.

The Labour party forgot who they are supposed to be representing. Politcal correctness and fear to call out the failed immigration policy that impacted the Labour heartlands for fear of being branded racist gave rise to UKIP.

Because UKIP then also threatened the Tory vote, this forced the Torys to offer a referendum in order to head off UKIP.

The Torys won and then had to offer the referendum. Labour supporters voted in Corbyn who was incapable of running a bath let alone a partyfailed to inspire the Labour vote to remain as it was blatently obvious he wanted to leave.

And here we are.

It's all Labours fault.
