Hilary Benn Sacked From The Shadow Cabinet - wider political debate

[TheBlueGibbon]

Corbyn being allowed to vote on whether his name should be on the ballot paper.

Seems like it didn't matter anyway

 

[Milk]

Must say that all this shenanigans of both Tories & Labour makes us in the Official Monster Raving Loony Party look sane and normal

FFS

 

[Toffeelover]

So when is the actual ballot?

 

[Mrk]

Oh well. Interesting few weeks ahead and an almost definite split in the party.

Corbyn ON the ballot paper.

Sniff it, beagle.

So when is the actual ballot?

The NEC one is done it seems.


Christ knows when the actual leadership election will be.

If that's true, then there will be a massive split in the labour party and the potential for a rebirth of the Democrat Party

 

[Toffeelover]

Uncharted waters, wonder what will happen now. Oh who else is on the ballot paper?

I meant that one!

Will Eagle pull out? She's utterly hopeless. How the hell can she convince people to vote for her instead of Corbyn?

She needs to pull out and Labour need to put forward a serious candidate.

 

[rascal]

Corbyn is on the ballot, which is right, and something I voted for yesterday at my CLP.

Corbyn will likely win the leadership election, at which point I will wash my hands of it all and let Momentum do something that their subscribers never seem to do and put in the hard yards, campaigning on door steps, delivering leaflets etc etc.

I will say this however, the actions of the PLP have given Momentum an easy cop-out when Labour sink even further.

Angela Eagle, plus anyone else who gets the 51 votes off the PLP and the European Party. SO far the only other rumoured challenger is Owen Smith.

She needs to pull out and Labour need to put forward a serious candidate.

Stephen Kinnock reckons she's a 'persuader'.

The stalking horse IMO is Owen Smith.

 

[Mrk]

Stephen Kinnock reckons she's a 'persuader'.

She's shrill, annoying and unfortunately not very bright. I doubt she can even persuade herself.
