It's crazy - he is doing himself nor the party any favours.

He worked himself to the ground....surely that should have been he was working underground, he was certainly well hidden.
Now here's a thought, get Hillary Benn in as leader,, might give them a head start n the next election. |

I think Hilary Ben is one of he most promising labour politicians around at the moment. I don't agree with him on everything but at least he has a voice, something Corbin seems to lack. If they had chosen someone like Hilary as party leader maybe labour would have a chance to engage voters again.

Hilary Benn sacked for skulking around looking for collaborators Apparently JC was heckled at London Pride and it appears the heckler is employed by a PR company Portland, with all this attention on Jermey Corbyn when so much else more important is going on, it beggars belief, or do they believe him to be a threat.

I now have to move away from Corbyn and admit those who said all would go wrong were right.
This is really bad news and at a time when Labour needs strong leadership and example, sorry we have had neither as to this EU referendum or what he has just done now. I hope Hilary Benn actually mounts a challenge to him anyway,if he will not resign,I have respect for Hilary Benn,I have now very little left for jeremy Corbyn. |

Half the shadow cabinet will resign tomorrow. Labour is eating itself. Is anyone surprised?
Corbyn is a liability... Ben is one of the best politicians in the Commons, and I say that not as a Labour supporter. |

When Jeremy Clarkson was sacked, Chris Evens stated categorically on his radio show that he would not be taking over as host. No way... never going to happen... I suggest that's what might happen here.

I wonder if all those people would vote him in again? We'll see, won't we. Personally I think he's shown himself to be the worst leader Labour could possibly have chosen, although he has been a valuable asset for the Tories.

Minus Joey yes, I have come to support strongly the Labour party but I do have Conservative roots still.
I know there are good and consensus politicians in all parties. I did not vote for Corbyn as leader myself and even now I would still go for Andy Burnham but he is heading off likely next year too. I do have strong agreement with Livia on this one, that Hilary Benn would be a more probable really good leader and it may come about that he 'has' to be the one to lead the taking of Corbyn on now,no matter what he says today. My preferred choice would be someone totally new however, a man like Dan Jarvis for instance. We need to have elected as leaders, politicians who unite and not divide,the new leader of the Conservative party to come is just as vital as whatever comes about in Labour. Which is why for the Conservative party I would like to see someone like Matt Hancock there. For me both Labour and the Conservative party have to really look forward and try to gain back the support they have both lost. If they do not make that effort, then even more of the combined vote between them will end up being eroded. I have waited long enough for Corbyn to really inspire, I am still pretty mad at him for this and he did do so, virtually abandon Labour party workers running their feet off trying to win the EU campaign for 'remain'. Who at every turn had to deal with some really negative comments he had made or try to explain his silence. We got far more support from the Conservatives and Lib Dems than we got from him. I say again, there comes a time when enough really is enough. Last edited by joeysteele; 26-06-2016 at 10:18 AM. |
