Cheers Anatoly, I just find it strange that with all the worry and disorder that the PLP have voiced about JC - only these two, Smith and Eagle are the only ones putting their names forward.

Watching Owen Smith's leadership launch.

I wish I could believe his desire to be leader are as honoruable genuine as he says. Something niggling me about this and Angela Eagle's bid too is this, if things are that genuinely that bad without hope why aren't Starmer and Jarvis making a bid also ?

TobyLatimer

Agree with that sentiment ohso, also it would have been much better to let Corbyn hold the position for a few years and at least give him a chance. Then if he desired not to lead into a general election let him resign the post and hold a new dignified leadership election. Instead of right from the o...

New rules governing the conduct of Labour party members in South Tyneside have been branded as “laughable” by political opponents. Members of South Shields Constituency Labour Party have received a letter warning them that conduct like “eye rolling” and “dismissive body language” during meetings co...

Owen Smith claims he helped get rid of IDS. Not how I remember it, I thought he flounced off under the pretence of not wanting to implement Osborne's cruel cuts any longer so that he could be on the front line of the Brexiteers And didn't the Lords have more influence in the Tax credit cuts ScreenSh...

All this palarva over Brexit has pushed the police investigations into the over spending at the last general election away from the agenda. Don't forget that the Tories technically only have a 12 seat majority, a few by-elections in marginals could soon reduce that figure. Also the natural by-electi...

It is utterly unacceptable that people who can't be bothered to join Labour just turn up and vote for leader. It is similarly utterly unacceptable that Unite were offering cut price deals to subvert NEC rules. It reduces the whole thing to an arms race, as Militant/Momentum/amusingly the Communist ...

I believe ! Whether his libertarian, free-market and neo-conservative politics are in line with what are called “Christian values” is for others to judge.

During his time at Oxford, Green broke a wrist after a group of fellow students ambushed him and threw him into the River Cherwell. Reportedly the group included fellow Dominic Grieve, who was later to serve alongside Green as a Cabinet Minister

Victoria Derbyshire just asked Angela Eagle what policies would seperate her from Corbyn. She said we need to be more anti-austerity.

Much easier on the blood pressure if one doesn't engage.

We might not all agree, but personally speaking I find it simpler just gloss over and ignore if I know in advance that the red mist will arise from reading posts of a certain nature.
