Hilary Benn Sacked From The Shadow Cabinet - wider political debate

[neil999]

Do not understand, are you not British??

Yes,what?

 

[Toffeelover]

Do you think? I think this recession will be sustained, getting a lot worse before it gets better.

Which one is that? we are still a strong economy, one of the largest in the World.

 

[Jib in lad]

Eagle'll be lucky to win the support of her own constituency, mate.

Exactly.

 

[Toffeelover]

Yes,what?

Your comment about hope in the British public just seemed strange as though you were not one of them.

Oh yeah sorry, badly worded

 

[Toffeelover]

Can't argue with that.

And anyway, in the continued absence of any other viable candidates, I probably won't have a choice but to stay on board the JC ship!

Unfortunately the best candidate to bring the party together is keeping his head down - IMO Dan Jarvis. I think he could unite the warring factions but have to be realistic at the moment to lead the party is like a poisoned chalice.

The problem with Jarvis is that he seems invariably to be portrayed as a backstory with a man attached.

Corbyn is incompetent. He hasn't a clue. He drifts from one disaster to the next. He surrounds himself with obnoxious people. I would not put him in charge of a cake stall at the local market. I have never seen anyone in politics with less grasp of the needs of the people and the country than him. He is an absolute disgrace and those that voted him in should apologise to the other 10 Million Labour supporters......

However Boris and co said please keep him as leader as no matter what mess they cause, Jeremy is sure to make a bigger one the day after............

Corbyn is only interested in leading a protest movement.

Can a prime minister really be a member of or leading protest movements?

Incompatible with the job of prime minister.

Yet Corbyn seems happy to address rent a mob gatherings with a microphone. Rather than actually credible actions a government in waiting would be doing.

He's great at playing to prejudices just as much as Farage is. Neither is a credible leader in actual government

Another day goes by and still no actual leadership challenge.

You don't know much about the creation of the labour movement I take it?

And, it's off (for now)

 

[Toffeelover]

it is all in limbo ATM, but JC will not go away.

Angela Eagles and Hillary Benn are keeping their heads down due to the Chilcot report. The moment they surface there will be uncomfortable questions asked about why they voted with Blair for war.

You mean they weren't originally set up to represent wealthy Islington socialists?
