Five years of putting Boris in his place from across the Dispatch would do wonders for Labour.

Former Labour MP
Dr. Paul Williams
was just Live on SkyNewsHD

He said he kept hearing
"Change Your Leader."

And he says its important
to get Conservative Voters on their side


He is a good Ex MP
getting his Facts
Right.

He was not a good MP.

He came in from the mist and has beggared off back into it.

No thanks. We needs to waft the smell of Corbynism out of Labour's rafters.

'Corbyn confirmed he will not stand again'
As if he would even be considered for standing again.
The man is an egomaniac who should have taken his skinny ass off to the backbenches when he failed catastrophically. Instead he is clinging on to the leadership for as long as he can with no apology or self awareness. Disgraceful.

What's the hurry, Parliament isn't even sitting right now he may as well keep the seat warm so members and possible competitors can have a semblance of a holiday.

He is clinging on until the last minute at the end of March. Other leaders who have lost so badly have resigned immediately. It's the dignified thing to do.

He has no obligation to be dignified I think for the good of Labour he should go asap, but he doesn't have to do anything.

How can he stand down until a replacement has been elected, where would the logic be in quitting before that?

There is still important work to be done, opposition parties don't cease to function post election.

in normal circumstances the deputy leader would take over but they don't have one anymore. Given the many disperate groups within labour I can see how it is a challenge to leave it to a consensus rabble to represent the opposition in parliament.

Whatever Jeremy does now will be ignored anyway as he is a dead man walking, a bit like May was even though she won the last election. Everyone knew her time was up and they therefore took no heed of her. Jeremy will be the same

Then why do so many in the Labour party think he should have done?
An opposition doesn't cease to function because a leader resigns, have you never heard of temps?
Mickey mouse could do a better job than Corbyn.
