have you quit the labour party yet?

I never saw Gogglebox, sounds like a charming family. Also they look like Amerikkkans!

If Maurice is not fit to be a Labour MP then nobody is. He is exactly the kind of person any decent social democratic party would be encouraging to stand for them in an election, not blocking. They have done this because he is popular with members & left-wing. https://t.co/phcXovQrk5

shitcunts

I am devastated to announce that the Labour Party has blocked me from restanding as our community's Member of Parliament.

20 years of local campaigning matters less than factional intrigue in our Party today.

The message is very clear

Fuck, guess Labour won’t be winning that seat.

They don't care about that or Grenfell.

Penny Mordaunt calls out Keir Starmer on his hypocrisy and dishonesty:

“And nor will we take any lectures on consistency of policy or messaging. The Right Honourable Gentleman has abandoned every single one of his pledges during the Labour leadership contest.” pic.twitter.com/Td2rki11qK

It's funny but sadly its ancient history.

Today in "fuck The Labour Party"

Labour spokesman confirms Nadia Whittome was told to delete this tweet, and is currently in talks with the party Chief Whip about what happens next.

Spox didn't deny possibility of the whip being suspended. https://t.co/blCShJ3hTY

🤢

Last Sheffield Central selection was this week. Final nominations:

Rizwana Lala: 4
Abtisam Mohammed: 4
Mike Buckley: 1
Eddie Izzard: 1
Jayne Dunn: 0
Paul Mason: 0

last Paul Mason update for those who are keenly following his attempt to advance the class struggle in Sheffield Central

Lol nobody wants him

at least Big Dunty still takes him seriously

great minds and all that

It’s not for ministers to pluck numbers out of the air, overriding negotiations. That would just undermine industrial relations and the negotiating power of unions. (3/5)

To be clear, this is what I said:

Q: Would a Labour government give public sector workers a 10% pay rise right now?

A: Not in that sense, to put it brutally. No, it will be decided through the pay bodies but we would strengthen the unions by having good employment rights.(4/5)

maybe trade unions should form a party to represent their interests in parliament

Unison's leadership academy delivering the goods for its members, you love to see it

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/14/jeremy-corbyn-will-never-stand-for-labour-again-say-senior-figures

Announce through a leak to the guardian that a former leader is permanently expelled, no recourse to party members, this has been decided by [unnamed people] because [no need to mention logic, procedures, rules], what kind of organisation is this? at least with the tories you know what yr getting.

Akehurst talking to reporters again?

It's his party now.

Do we still reckon Corbyn is so much of a loyalist that he won't stand as an independent?

I think it might be the principle of the thing, in that he remains a party member in good standing despite this whip business.

he does seem hugely sentimental about this dead party tho

tbf if they stand another candidate i'd like him to stand against them for the sheer lulz, but for his own sake and in a way for the sake of left politics i think he should, as we say, give it neck

I reckon he'll stand. God knows who is going to be left (pun not intended) in the local constituency Labour Party after all this, AGM in a phone box etc.

He is a massively sentimental bag about it. Given how little he was respected for so much of his time there.

Reckon Corbyn retires to being a campaigner. That is not nothing either.

ppl falling for a dumb news story by noted outlet "mylondon.news" that's saying Corbyn is being "urged" to run against Khan based on one unnamed source, you'd almost think this was planted by the labour right because it's so obviously a less popular idea than him running again in Islington.

I realise it's more likely it's just blatant clickbait ofc.

I like the line in the article that says they’d have no shortage of funds for Islington North. Yeah, I can see Starmer Labour throwing huge amounts of cash at the seat out of sheer spite. Cunts.

I just feel so angry on Corbyn’s behalf about this all, it’s so humiliating and such utter bullshit!

It's pure vindictiveness and all because some racist moron in Worksop told a reporter once that he'd never vote Labour again.

he should stand as an independent (which I imagine he reluctantly will do) at least then he'd be blocking a terrible Labour melt from winning the seat. He's healthy enough to carry on being one of the few decent constituency MPs for some years. He needs to forget about "stay and fight" at his age, it's futile and will be for a long long time - maybe more than what many of us have got left!

In another way tho calz there might be some power in him explicitly acknowledging that the Labour Party and by extension the current parliamentary setup is useless to left politics

after being in the Labour party for so long I think he might have become a little bit institutionalised on his thinking on this. He spent decades marginalised by the right, yet he bided his time. He's been around long enough to know that the party is garbage and of the futility of exacting change through parliamentary democracy (as hard as he tried). But this is just a feeling, but I think he's got a strong bond with the party in some emotional way and he doesn't want to terminally sever the link.

I think you're right, just not sure it's good for him or the left at this stage

Halfway thru that sentence I realised it was patronising and none of my business really

There was an article over the weekend on the seat, not short of speaking on condition of anonymity

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/12/no-way-id-take-on-corbyn-labour-safe-seat-turns-toxic-over-mps-whip-removal

Yeah I saw that, or skimmed it. Nothing but Labour ogres dripping the line tho really?

Labour’s proposals to abolish the House of Lords are set to be watered down after an eleventh-hour row between Gordon Brown and Sir Keir Starmer’s advisers, The Times has learnt.

Preparations for the launch of a review of the constitution by the former prime minister have been overshadowed by internal tension over the scale and pace of reform of the upper house.

lol

Just waiting for the plans to end charitable status for private schools to go the same way.

I believe this is what electability looks like

someone has been unkind enough to post that the little Tory shit in the middle looks like a youthful Heinrich Himmler

tbf focus groups are telling the Labour Party Heinrich Himmler appeals to Red Wall voters.

look at the state of this lying fuck

In a discussion on how he "couldn't disagree with the basic case so many leave voters made to me", Starmer says yes, he campaigned for remain & voted for remain, but "we lost the referendum". Sophie Ridge reminds him he went on to lead the campaign for a second referendum #Ridge pic.twitter.com/vaCPzFCD7e

Am I wrong to think that constantly reminding people of Brexit is not a very good idea? Electorally, I mean.

he's trying so hard to yezhov that 2nd ref period of his career, ffs it was only 3 years ago and there are plenty of videos and quotes. Just admitting it would be so much easier than looking like a typical prevaricating slimeball pol!

this is it! any remotely competent hypocrite wd've come out with something along the lines of "i was in favour then but the politics has changed" but he just gawps like he hopes the question will vanish

do their focus groups ever tell them that just going with whatever their focus groups say will play best at any given moment doesn't actually play very well? that it kind of makes you look like a snake who can't be counted on for shit?
