Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
And another one quits
Quote:
Shadow attorney general Catherine McKinnell has resigned from the shadow cabinet, citing concerns over Labour's direction under Jeremy Corbyn.
Ms McKinnell said Labour was heading down an "increasingly negative path" and that she was concerned about recent "internal conflict".

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Quote:
Lord Watts, who was the MP for St Helens North for 18 years until May 2015, said working people needed a “practical” Labour Party.
He told the House of Lords yesterday: “My advice to my own party leadership is that they should take less notice of the London-centric, hard-left political class who sit around in their £1million mansions, eating their croissants at breakfast and seeking to lay the foundations for a socialist revolution.
“It is not the job of the Parliamentary Labour Party to sit around developing ultra-left-wing policies that make it feel good
“It is its job and responsibility to come forward with policies that will help us to win the next general election.”
Laying into Momentum, the campaign group formed out of Corbyn’s leadership campaign, he finished his point by adding; “For those who do not want to take on that task, can I suggest that they join a society in which they can enjoy sitting around having a philosophical debate about the meaning of socialism?”

Indeed but then also champagne and capitalism are a fair bed mate as well as most of us know.

The main difference being that champagne socialists say one thing (in this case denouncing privilege, wealth etc.) and all too often do the opposite. It's called hypocrisy.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
Then they have a lot in common with many of the politicians in the House of Commons then who say one thing and then do exactly the opposite.....

Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the UK could keep its Trident submarine fleet but without carrying nuclear warheads.

Perhaps I am missing something, but as the Trident submarine fleet is designed to carry ballistic missiles, what is the point of them without the ballistic missiles?

They'd have most in common with those supposed 'men/women of the people' who've got where they are despite being no such thing. Labour's long been infested with them.
