Labour Party Crisis: Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn & LOADS of the Shadow Cabinet Resign
Jeremy Corbyn has sacked Hilary Benn over leadership coup.
http://news.sky.com/story/1717625/co...eadership-coup ---------- Post added at 01:25 ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 ---------- 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. |

Re: Labour Party Crisis - Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn and 7 members of Shadow Cabinet Re
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. |

Just what we need. Not. Our leaders running around like headless chickens when we really need for them to pull together and keep us from getting into any mire..

Mr Corbyn is well past his use-by date. He needs to go back to PressTV and preach to the converted there. |

Re: Labour Party Crisis - Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn and 9 members of Shadow Cabinet Re
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. ---------- Post added at 17:54 ---------- Previous post was at 17:52 ---------- Quote:

Re: Labour Party Crisis - Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn and 9 members of Shadow Cabinet Re
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. |

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? |

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 |

Re: Labour Party Crisis: Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn & LOADS of the Shadow Cabinet Resig
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. |

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". |

Re: Labour Party Crisis: Corbyn Fires Hilary Benn & LOADS of the Shadow Cabinet Resig
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. |
