The one thing this 80's reject had going for him was his integrity. Something I did give him credit for. He is like a pound shop Tony Benn without the charisma.

Anyway, he has lost this now because he so obviously didnt want to be in the EU. Quite telling (and the final straw as far as labour mp's are concerned) was when his reaction to the 'leave' result was "to invoke article 50 as soon as possible".

He couldnt even hide the fact that he likes the result and wants to use it to build a socialist Britain. This is the beginning of the end for him I think. Or perhaps a labour split?

Hilary Benn was sacked this morning for sedition

Good hopefully all the blairites leave and he can build a real labour party.

Ingsoc!

[Decky]

He should have purged them on day one. Doing it now will not win many people back, why the hell are red tories still in the party in the first place?

Odd timing for the Blairite scum to have the coup just before the Chilcot inquiry comes out. You would think the murdering scum would be hiding and trying to avoid media attention.

[Typhoon]

Was never going to be easy but good riddance to that side of the party! They have been given ample opportunity to come to terms with the new order of things but seem content to snipe and stir from the background. If they want to fall on their swords then so be it, re-selection all the way, the membership is content with Corbyn and Chilcot will be the last nail in the Blairites coffin.

Labour-supporting students at one of Britain’s two elite universities have been told by a Blairite MP to lead a campaign of “dissent” in the wake of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership victory.

Tristram Hunt, the former shadow education secretary, told students at Cambridge University Labour Club that they were the “top one per cent” and needed to show leadership within the party.

Benn is a disgrace quite happy to see him gone after the Syrian vote fiasco.

[Decky]

His dad would be ashamed of him. I really don't know how the evil little shit can look at himself in a mirror. I hope Corbyn purges them all without mercy.

[layman]

Corbyn is a fool and a pussy. He wont purge anyone.

[Typhoon]

Completely agree Decky.

There's an election to win and this is the opportunity for the Labour party to consolidate. If this rubbish is still going on in a few months time then its Boris or Theresa and that would be a fucking disaster!

[layman]

The right wing of the tory party will take over. People dont want this but they will certainly vote for it over corbyn and his commie buddies.

You are all too smart to think he has a chance so you can just moan about democracy when it happens - just like I am now

[Typhoon]

If I was going for electable then I have been making the wrong political choices for a long time.

With Corbyn I can at least vote for a democratic socialist party again while perhaps standing a fractionally better chance of election victory.

[layman]

Fair enough.

My preference would be for the blue labor and red tory mp's to split off and join the (currently defunct) lib dems.

We can then have a real choice.

Corbyn needs to stop being a wimp and take the bull by the horns, he missed a great opportunity by not sticking with his guns and supporting a Brexit. The British people are crying out for new politics, he has the support of the party members but the mp's oppose him. Get rid of the mp's show loyalty to the people and start building a new labour while the Tories are dealing with their own rifts.

[layman]

Being a wimp is in his character. He is not up to the job and never has been. This was obvious from the start.

Lefties are very tolerant of weakness it seems. I guess its in their nature?

And YES it now looks like he is a liar like the rest of him. He loses his integrity card.

The documents show concern in Labour HQ and the Labour Remain campaign about Mr Corbyn's commitment to the campaign - one email says "what is going on here?". Another email from Labour Remain sources to the leader's office complains "there is no EU content here - we agreed to have Europe content in it". Sources say they show the leader's office was reluctant to give full support to the EU campaign and how difficult it was to get Mr Corbyn to take a prominent role.

This.

[Donna]

He does not seem to be very good at power politics.

[Potemkin]

He does not seem to be very good at power politics.

Or he may have decided that the only way to save the Labour Party is to allow it to split, just as Lenin allowed the Russian Social Democratic Party to split into the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions. If these Blairites want to resign, then let them. "Go, go where you belong - to the rubbish heap of history!"

[layman]

Or he may have decided that the only way to save the Labour Party is to allow it to split

You think he is that cunning ?

He just isnt a leader and isnt comfortable with the role. He would be much happier standing on a box and shouting about Israel/Palestine 24/7.

He is an activist. Nothing more. That is why I find him so annoying. He is supposed to have a job to do as the official opposition leader.

Britain's biggest political parties are being ravaged, alongside its economy. A good time indeed.

Britain's biggest political parties are being ravaged, alongside its economy. A good time indeed.

The Labour party has been at near civil war for months, this is just Corbyn's opponents taken the opportunity to strike. It's not that big an issue in the end.

Our economy has suffered very little due to Brexit too. A slight drop in the value of Sterling is arguably not the worst thing in the world for exports, or for companies making money overseas. The FTSE is on the whole fairly flat over 12 months.

It seems Italy has been hit worse than the UK so far. They are preparing another bank rescue package.
