Granny Danger Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Corbyn must be the most gormless c**t ever to have held high elected office. He is unable to distinguish between capitulation and gaming the system. A fucking rocket of a man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Labour’s biggest problem is that all those attacking it are from the right of the Party; Campbell, Blair, Watson, etc. I can fully understand why Corbyn would ignore these discredited people. What is desperately needed is people on the left of Labour telling Corbyn that he’s making a monumental f**k up of Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Looks like there’s a tipping point coming in Labour; hopefully it’s not too late. No further fudges or compromised motions is vital. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/16/jeremy-corbyn-faces-revolt-second-eu-referendum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Corbyn's too busy defending Iran and the Ruskies to get worked up about menial issues such as Brexit. He's a complete and utter waste of space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Disagree with Tom Watson on many things but find it hard to argue with anything he says here. A very slick presentation too. I hope this embeds properly. https://mobile.twitter.com/annaturley/status/1140504874913681408?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1140507691124776961&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-politics-48658683 This will be a huge embarrassment for Corbyn coming from his deputy but is totally justified.

Granny Danger Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Looks like there’s going to be a further fudge after today’s Shadow Cabinet meeting. Labour might insist on a confirmatory public vote on any decision by Parliament but won’t support a second Referendum where ‘Remain’ is an option. A further nail in Labour’s coffin and a huge boost for the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A further nail in Labour’s coffin and a huge boost for the Tories. I think that if Corbyn is still Labour leader as a GE eventually comes to pass then the last rites could be administered to his party - and they would deserve it.There is however one outcome which could save it, and that is that a Johnson-led Government plunges the country of a crisis unparalleled in modern times, and that must be a possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It looks like Labour will call a VoC in the government as soon as a new PM is in place. Any Labour MP who doesn’t vote in support of that motion should be immediately expelled from the party. There can be no greater betrayal by a Labour MP than to vote against or even abstain in such a motion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Not sure but Tom Watson’s end game is but this latest stunt related to Chris Williamson will cause an entrenchment on the left which is likely to impact upon the Brexit policy. It shouldn’t but it is likely that it will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
