Will be included on the ballot paper for the Labour leadership election. Which probably f*cks up Angela Eagle's entire campaign strategy, not to mention that of anyone else who was planning on throwing their hat into the ring if the hairy trot had been excluded.

Labour is f*cked.

I thought I saw on the news this morning that new members who sign up between 16-18 July and pay a £25 registration fee will also be entitled? Why those random dates, I don't know!


Ah right.

So anyone that has signed up in the past few weeks can't vote but if people sign up next week they can?

Sounds tremendous.

Well given that they announced yesterday that only people who were members in January (I think it's January they have said) can vote she'd be better off saving her money.
Anyone that's signed up in the last few weeks can't vote.


OK, thanks for the heads up I'll tell her to pick me up some beer on the way home with that £25 instead.

Upthecity!

Sorry Brynnie but you have just summed up the whole shameful attitude amongst Corbynistas in one rather spiteful post.


I don't know why you bother Lisa I really don't.

Before Corbyn was elected as leader Tories were running campaigns on Twitter to get together and vote for him because they could see the turmoil it was going to cause.
Why anyone with more than one brain cell can't see what's wrong is beyond me.

There's far too many people 'pretending' to be left wing.

Owen Smith is a lefty?? That'll be news to people that have read his previous views on austerity, privatisation and PFI.

I'm hoping the first thing Theresa does is call a snap GE. I know it's hugely unlikely, but watching the Labour Party fight amongst themselves rather than a GE would be tremendously entertaining.


I suspect some people are confusing Owen Smith with Owen Jones...

I hope she doesn't by the way. As I said yesterday, it would be in her benefit to do so, but doe the sake of stability I hope she puts that to one side.

It's all a bit moot anyway - if she does a good job and Labour keep Corbyn in place she will win in 3 years' time and get another 5 years.

As the past few days have reminded us, the Tory party are like the BBC - you may not like them, but they're the only people to turn to in a crisis. Imagine what would be happening now if Labour were in power.

I mainly don't understand why his followers have got such a thing about his 'principled' politics.

He's been less principled in the past couple of months than any leader of a major party I can remember. And I include Blair in that.

He has clearly demonstrated that his only priority is himself and his mates. He doesn't give a toss about the party or the country. I always thought he was unelectable, and I always thought he was intellectually weak, but I am surprised by quite how self centred and egotistical he is.

I'll type a quick quote in here for you from Tim Rees's book In Sights. Rees was a former soldier who fought in The Falklands Conflict, he is also that rarest of birds, something of a left wing squaddie. That fact notwithstanding he had this to say...

" One lady I particularly remember is Connie, who was ninety two years young. My own personal thoughts on whether the war and the deaths of all those soldiers was justified ultimately came to rest on Connie. The Argentinians had commandeered her house and forced her out.... all the subsequent talk of Thatcher and mineral rights simply confuses a basic principle: Our job was to defend the lives and freedom of British citizens."

That basic principle is alien to Corbyn.

You wouldn't want him as a war time leader, you'll get no argument from me there. He lacks leadership in general perhaps. He's impressed me with the way he has come through this coup though.

I'm using the terminology used in the press and on here. I think I am being mistaken for a Corbyn supporter. Like I said, I agree with some of his policy and he seems like a nice man. I couldn't give a flying f*ck if he is labour leader or not, or whether the labour party implodes. It and him will be replaced in time, and hopefully with something more effective, on both counts.

What form does this pretense take? Is there this tranche of cloak-and-dagger Monday Clubbers embracing a limited wardrobe and adopting atrocious table manners in the attempt to slip under the radar?

Well I could bump posts on here for instance from certain left wingers that real left wingers would never say.
It's quite hip to pretend you're left wing for today but none of them give a f*ck about the future.

That will undoubtedly happen Wayne. We will get the hard line because they have to as a deterrent and meanwhile they will also offer incentives to others to stop further break up.

Two ways to look at it really in terms of our timing on this
1) We've acted selflessly in falling on our sword to improve the lot of the many in the EU or
2) We've right royally f*cked it up.

For the rabid 'suck it uppers' please note, I'm not trying to judge whether in or out is best, merely the blindingly obvious consequences of the timing of us choosing to ask and answer the question the way we did.


President of the Eu Junker has come out today and said no hard-line will be taken against UK during Brexit.

May and Merkel (I like the sound of that) will get on well together.
The UK will still be the most important ally to Europe they went on to say.also the impact is pretty minimal.

Even I'm rather surprised at that.

He's not the first to say that. Fair play to him for coming out with it though.
I never in a million years thought I'd say this but, given the dire alternatives, I think I'll miss him...

It would be easier for May and Corbyn to pass gallstones than deliver something mildly amusing.
