Greetings all, I'm not in a position to comment on local Labour party meetings to decide on supporting a leadership candidate or not.

Greetings all, Thank you for that link AngryAsWell. I found it interesting. I'm not going to comment on that article as such beyond that!

Whereas with Owen Smith, it will be all sleek, sneeky and spin. It really won't, tbh. As well as being "not-Corbyn" he's not Chuka Umunna either, you know. I don't find Umunna remotely slick, in terms of his presentation anyway. Smith strikes me as shooting for a rhetorical style that he ...

@Sputnikkers thanks for your reply on Friday night. I did read it over the weekend but haven't had the chance to respond. I wasn't at all offended btw, just wanted to clarify exactly what you meant. To the best of my knowledge, Caroline's involvement [such as it is], came much later. For the main pa...

Greetings all, @yahyah I'm not sure Greens in general want to shape the Labour party as such. Sure we talk about the situation in the Labour party at the moment. Just as we talk about what's going on in other political parties. I haven't commented on the subject much on here for various reasons. One...

Looking on from the outside, I wonder how much the PLP refuse to accept that they really have little chance of beating the Tories alone. Have any of the anti-Corbyn members suggested reaching out to other parties? Not in my area. At the Council elections in May, we had an 'all out' so 3 seats going...

Yet the person these 'anti-Labour' voters impose also formed his alliances within STW with comrades opposing, undermining and toxifying the Labour brand from the (I thought laughable and long gone until I read about them in 2001) 'hard left' warring, multi-factional, pseudo-peaceniks (at least mostl...

Hi all What is all this focus on who people supported in the past and their legitimacy to join Labour I remember a nonentity called Shawn Woodward. Was elected as a Tory ( I assume he voted for himself), decided he wanted to join Labour and then was parachuted into a safe seat! Indeed. But then I h...

Greetings all, I have been reading the last few days but haven't commented because I didn't feel I had anything useful to add. You're making me feel guilty . . . *sigh* Now I feel guilty for making you feel guilty. Which leaves me distraught, confused, and guilty. And I haven't even had lunch yet.

Greetings all, I have been reading the last few days but haven't commented because I didn't feel I had anything useful to add. However I have been interested in [among other things] the discussions about 'flouncing'. I began to feel rather left out - I want to have a 'flounce'. But as an intermitten...

What is 'entryism'? To me that can only apply to people who are not Labour supporters who join to try to cause trouble......Tories, SWP (all 20 of them) etc.... If it is just someone who has an ambition to change the political direction of a party through legitimate means then that is not the same....

Tizme1

What's the logic of setting a date of February as the cut-off point? It makes no sense. Surely you have to know there is going to be a leadership election before they stop eligibility? It excludes everyone who happened to join months before there was any sniff of a leadership election. I was a memb...

Tizme1

The new Labour leadership voting rules are a clunky mess, but when placed alongside Corbyn automatically on the ballot, it seems everyone got something. Nick Thomas-Symonds defended the cuts surprisingly well on Daily Politics earlier. Labour don't really have the resources to ensure all of the hug...

Evening all, One or two local Labour party members have previously told me, if/when Corbyn was forced out, they would be joining us Greens. They are good people and I'd love to welcome them into our local Green party. However, I'm glad that won't be happening at the moment. To exclude Corbyn from th...

If the Tories aren't careful Corbyn will quit far sooner than they really want and, given that the losing three won't stand again since there won't be much more enthusiasm for them than last time, we might get people like Dan Jarvis or Keir Starmer stand - maybe a lot sooner than they might have wi...
