For someone as dumb and incompetent as Corbyn, his opponents time and again sure do make fools of themselves
|
|
By:
so far today she,s said
she,ll let voters decide what policies any new party should have she told her voters to vote for her because no chance of Corbyn been elected at last election,that would have been a nice conversation on the door step if labour had won a few more seats  .and non whites have a funny tinge colour, sounds just like the trust worthy mp we all need, NOT |

By:
The problem with being the party of diversity is that you try to please everyone and you end up pleasing no-one.
Indeed. (Not that they are too keen on trying to please white, patriotic, law-abiding people). Who would have thought that The Progressive Party of Tolerance, the Party of Kinder Gentler Politics should come to be regarded as "institutionally racist" ? |

By:
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says he's "distressed" with the recent resignations from fellow Labour MPs, adding it is important party members "stick together". .
|
|
By:
I'm obviously a bit dense....how are they allowed to leave Labour bur remain as MPs?? There has to be 7 by elections, shirley?
|
|
By:
They still stand for what they stood for. They didn't leave the party -the party left them .
And they wouldn't stand for that . HTH  |

As for Angela Smith's 'funny tinge' comments... Maybe she was a fan of Richie Benaud's suits: the cream, the bone, the white, the off-white, the ivory, or the beige? |
|
By:
There are a few who have already resigned the whip and there were no by-elections.
Also, the 7 are technically a group rather than an actual party so that could be the difference. Should there be? Maybe. 6 of them had huge majorities. Smith had 1.3k, Tories probably should try pushing for it there |
|
By:
More from Smith. She's clearly not had enough yet for one day.

good list of suggestions about what this group could have done to not look mugs on Day 1 |

Chit Chatters get banned for 'mis speaking'...

i'm sure the intelligent men and women of chit chat mean what they type
 |

By:
strange she couldn't find the funny tinge wording when the roitherham child abuse gangs were rampant and stayed in party when her colleague was sacked for trying to air the problem
|
|
By:
They've all quit but still getting paid, still sitting in on parliament, still claiming expenses, still with labour
But they've quit Only in make belief world of politics eh |
|
By:
As aaronh says - huge majorities for 6 of them. If there were to be by-elections, it would be interesting to see who the people want. The sitting MPs or Labour...
|
|
By:
the answer would highly likely be Labour although without being clued in on any of the constituencies, it's hard to say if they have strong local popularity or anything like that.
Them refusing to have a by-election gives an easy attack to those who oppose the 2nd referendum they call for |
|
By:
Very good point about the second ref!
They may well be excellent MPs and serve their people well. If they are THAT popular they could hold on with reduced majorities. I think they need to set up a new party. Without that few if any will be keen to join them. |
|
By:
Presumably they'll still carry on voting with Labour in the Commons, so what's the issue?
|
|
By:
Screaming
They've quit in name only, like anything going on at the moment its all theatre |
|
By:
Len McLuskey is spot on when he says they didn’t get elected on the basis of their charisma.
Quite right but funny coming from him. |
|
By:
nick boles already said non
gape already slagged lib dems off, wheres this going think they've been led down the garden path by souboury,grieve and co, once brexits over they,ll have nothing in common with torys and agree with all labour policy, basically resigned over online bullying, although smith already proved she,s a racist today, so how does chukka [ uncle tom ] think about that |
|
By:
Ex chief whip and deputy leader Tom Watson respects Berger’s decision and says he doesn’t recognise the Labour Party any more.
That must start lab supporters thinking but perhaps not those who post on here. |
|
By:
mcdonald got pelters last week for suggesting berger was getting deselected for plotting to leave the party,asked her to say she wasn't
she didn't he was proved right |
|
By:
the left didn't regognise their party when slimmy Mandelson was blissfully happy with people getting filthy rich whilst the poor got poorer
|
|
By:
The Gang of 7: I cannot think of a bunch of misfits more than this lot - a replica of the shadow front bench politically. Where will they sit during QT or Parliamentary session? Behind the Speaker or Mr Corbyn with a zombie knife?
|
|
By:
Exactly.
It's all very well presenting themselves as heroic, because they're refusing to swear that oath of loyalty which the Labour leadership was demanding yesterday. But if they then carry on supporting the current Labour leadership in the Commons, they might as well have just sworn to obey Corbyn unto death anyway. |

I am anti Zionist, although I accept Israel is now here to stay, as a reality. Yes just as well you have accepted it, it would be awful if you lost any sleep over it. |
|
By:
Within living memory there was a virtually 100% successful project to murder every single person on Earth who could be called Jewish. And with the survivors having finally succeeded in establishing a safe haven, at least some people have managed to accept it's "now here to stay, as a reality".
That just leaves the British Labour Party which apparently can't. |
|
By:
^^
The British Labour Party headed by Mr Corbyn only! |
|
By:
And its MPs. And its 500,000 members. And its millions of voters.

We all have our principles, even me I stand by my belief Israel should not have been created, the land belonged to the Palestinians Arabs. Although I do not blame the Jews for wanting their own country. I have nothing against the Jews personally..I am not anti semetic. |

The Hateful Eight appear to me as self serving without an appetite for the fight. Both major parties will be having to fight the Nazis in their midst and these jokers have cut and run.
|
|
By:
You will find me on various threads on here calling out the anti-semitism within certain sections of the Labour Party SCBTW, but it is a mistake and a gross calumny to suggest the problem exists within the entire Party - it is a NW London-centric issue in the main.
|
|
By:
Funny you refer to them as the "Hateful Eight" given the reason they have left is they are sick of the hateful figures that dominate the Labour party nowadays.

It's always good to know exactly where one's interlocutors though, don't you think?

should be a 'stand' in there somewhere, apologies.

Some embarrasing garbage on here lately , a few mps run off and they are lauded has heroes and prophets of all that is good and true , if they are so confident resign your seats and fight a by election , do people want society run by the establishment and their friends forever
