Hilary Benn Sacked From The Shadow Cabinet - wider political debate

[Toffeelover]

He may as well head up a party called Socialist Party Momentum because that's where his support current is....

New name for Militant Tendency!

 

[Toffeelover]

Didn't see many Labour Party banners at the Rally last night. Plenty of Socialiast Workers Party stuff though?

That is part of it all, the Labour party is being hijacked by thees minority groups.

i do find it interesting that people keep talking about labour needing to split and forming a new social democratic party or whatever, surely is far more likely for a new far left party to be formed?

I don't think the SWP has enough members to account for the turnout mate.

He won't do that because he's not a man of integrity, if he was he wouldn't of sat with the Labour backbenchers putting forward his pathetic protest vote and acting as their token socialist. He did so knowing full well anything he said would be ignored all the while excepting money from that same Blairite government. If he was a legitimate Socialist he'd of left the Labour party years ago and joined another party such as TUSC, but then there would be much less money in it for him that way.

They had out the banners to all and sundry, here hold this banner up for a fiver!

And no seat as an MP.

If Labour have to choose a new leader, my faves would be Dan Jarvis or Hilary Benn.

I'd be a no to Hilary Benn. Have absolute zero trust in him, certainly not as a Labour member.

Oh dear.

angela eagle or tom watson most likely apparently

Jarvis might, but he's too inexperienced.

Benn, no chance. If he had genuinely leadership ambitions, he wouldn't have picked so publicly a fight with Corbyn and the far left. Honestly don't think he even wants it.

 

[neil999]

Oh dear.

hahha, i hope they change ties or put a hat on when they assume a different role

Both of whom would be disasters. Particularly Eagle.

All a matter of choice mate. Who would you like? and don't say Chicozaul.
