Corbyn's a clown but he doesn't deserve that.

Certainly not. Just a bit of waterboarding will do.

Reminds me of that bond film:

" Do you expect me to talk?"

" No Mr Bond, I expect you to die""

Ramrod made it clear he changed the quote. Mick might disagree but personally I am fine with it

Labour 'carries out secret polls for Corbyn's replacement'
Labour has carried out secret polling to test the popularity of senior figures touted as successors to Jeremy Corbyn.
Voters were asked to rate shadow chancellor John McDonnell along with rising stars Rebecca Long-Bailey and Angela Rayner, according to a document leaked to the Sunday Times.

Well l think anybody with a reasonable brain cell Andrew knew it was just a matter of time before the unelectable Corbyn was going to get a knock on the door like Conservative leaders do with their 1922 Committee when they are becoming deeply unpopular within their own party and their constituents.

I think the Party fell in love with his politics and overlooked his basic competency. His politics are now looking less competent given his wooliness on Brexit. So his one perceived strength is now gone and I think that's why he might get that "knoock on the door".

Corbyn's replacement? Hard-left plot to overthrow Labour leader but keep control

http://www.express.co.uk/news/politi...ft-plot-leader

[heero_yuy]

Tony Parsons piece today makes grim reading for Labour:

Even the long shots to become next Labour leader — Owen Smith, Hilary Benn, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Chuka Umunna — are all so pro-EU they make Jeremy Corbyn look like Nigel Farage.

Corbyn was a half-hearted campaigner for Remain.

Whoever replaces him will be a true mouth-foaming Brussels believer.

But how does electing a leader who is more anti-Brexit than Corbyn solve Labour’s existential dilemma?

It doesn’t.

Ditching Corbyn can only make it worse.

Dumping Red Jezza will only hasten Labour’s helter-skelter rush to oblivion.

Corbyn is routinely slagged off for presenting a hopelessly dithering stance on Brexit.

But the Labour movement itself is terminally split on the subject.

Even now, out-of-touch Labour MPs like Tulip Siddiq (Kilburn and Hampstead) parrot the lie that anyone who voted to leave the EU is a thick bigot who despises foreigners.

And that would be even a more unmitigating disaster then they currently have now.

Could have gone in two other threads here but seeing as its Jezzers idea:

LABOUR descended into farce after it revealed plans to use anti-Brexit Clive Lewis and pro-immigration Diane Abbott to spearhead a drive to win back UKIP voters.

In plans that triggered outright mockery in Westminster, the two will form part of a touring group of Labour big-hitters that will go to UKIP heartlands.
Diane Abbott will be part of the tour to try and win over Ukip voters

The ‘Take Back Control’ tour begins on April 1 – April Fools Day.

Clive Lewis quit the Labour Shadow Cabinet after refusing to back Theresa May’s Article 50 bill in the Commons last week.

And Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott last year appeared to label Brexit voters “racist” and has repeatedly defended open borders.

It's refreshing to see Abbot's hasn't lost her ability to be offensive even when she's busy complaining about abuse.

Some folks clearly don't mind dishing out the insults but are rather sensitive when they're on the receiving end but what do you expect from someone who totally decries private education until it's her son's turn to take advantage of it? Presumably being the son of a leading Labour politician, he needs all the help in life he can get but woe betide the likes of us mere mortals if we want the same thing for our kids.

Oddly I seem to recall Prescott hated all that House of Lords privilege until he got his chance to grab his new title and jump on the gravy train.

Labour's like the EU - when it's clear that the direction they've chosen isn't working their answer is to accelerate along the same course. It's really quite bizarre unless of course there's been an outbreak of Lemmings Disease at HQ...
