Labour Leadership 2016

If Corbyn manages to get on the Ballot, and is re-elected, I think the Labour party will split, leaving no opposition to the Tories.

I thought that had happened already.

Well quite.

No sign of Corbyn going or becoming aware that he's a liablity.

Just in case anyone else isn't hugely clued up and fancied watching.

Corbyn's speech on Saturday morning which BBCR5L contemptuously deigned to ignore in favour of tweets and emails from the public and 'news & sport' was
the best condemnation of Austerity, and the impossibility of Austerity being any kind of solution for 35+ years of Trickledown I have heard.
That seemd to be the event that moved the MSM away from 'What plan does Leave have?',
to 'How Corbyn lost the referendum'.
This despite Corbyn delivering more Remain votes from Labour supporters
than Cameron delivered from his kipper-infected Tory party.

Any ofthe Shadow cabinet refusniks likely to be implicated in the Chilcott report?

Owen Jones said he would back Nandy for leader. It would be good if she ran, I think.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Nandy

Here's the voting record. Have fun :)

Ironic that Corbyn demonstrates some kind of leadership quality by sacking Benn at the correct moment.

Corbo!

Yep,
much more of this and the 'Geography teacher' myth will have to be replaced with the
'Strong Leader' epithet.

Bit late for that.

I was in favour of Corbyn when he took over but this is not a survivable situation. The fact that he doesn't realise this says quite a bit.

As he's just said - he has a mandate from hundreds of thousands of people. The biggest mandate in British politics. There is little evidence that mandate has deteriorated.

Is he supposed to walk away from that?

Fuck it, I still support Corbyn's politics and no one has been able to show me why he (and not the persistent plotters) are a risk to the party. Until someone is able to do that, good on him.

I've got no problem with Corbyn's politics.

My problem is that the referendum demonstrates labour's failure to engage with a huge part of uk society. Accept that, and we accept Tory rule forever (ok, with the rise of SNP and probable Scottish devolution, arguably that is already a done deal). However, the fact that Corbyn doesn't seem to recognise that he has really fucked up is pretty annoying.

Blame Milliband if your talking about the Labour Party and dis-interest / lack of engagement

You can't trust the BBC, they've had it in for Corbyn from the start. They're basically a mouthpiece for the tories. If you watch his speeches on ITV he's actually a really eloquent, exciting, convincing orator.

Why the edit?

he's actually a really eloquent, exiting, convincing orator

You clearly have it in for him if you say he's 'exiting'. :)

ffs

Do you believe Corbyn sabotaged the referendum to manufacture an exit?

If so, fuck, he's evil and incompetent considering the Labour turn out.

Do you believe Corbyn sabotaged the referendum to manufacture an exit?

No, he lacks the organisational skill for that, I think. Those around him helped.

How about this - without a doubt the biggest story of the day - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36637037

I think you've said you're a writer maybe? Do you think paragraph three and four fit well? Would you start a piece, in which the de facto leader of the exit campaign makes a statement which renegs on many of the expectations of those who voted for exit, by pointing out that there are internal party struggles in a different party?
