Jeremy Corbyn
Looks like this is going to emerge again. Tom Watson just announced that the initiative with the Unions is dead as Corbyn will not consider any level of compromise. Plus, the defence policy review is seemingly going to with some form of retention of Trident against Corbyn's views, with a free vote (again) in the Commons. It's not uncommon for MPs to have to be whipped to support policies they may disagree with, but you wouldn't normally have to whip the leader of the party on a manifesto item!

Coup mk2? They are nothing but stubborn, I'll give them that.

This is the quote...
Watson said: “Since the talks began, Jeremy has publicly declared his intention to continue as leader come what may. This means there is no realistic prospect of reaching a compromise that satisfies the majority of colleagues in the PLP. “It is with regret and profound sadness that I have concluded there is little to be achieved by pursuing wider conversations with our union affiliates at this time. |

So stalemate then? Is there any research into what Labour voters rather than members think of Corbyn?

All this will do is split the Labour party in a way far greater than the SDP ever did, and I for one will happily support them in doing it. The coup is not about to take place it took place the moment Corbyn was elected the SWP Momentum plus others used the voting system and succeeded after 30 years to achieve what they always wanted. If Corbyn wins this challenge then after a lifetime of support for Labour then no more from me. |

They seem to have a number of talented youngish MPs available but they aren't getting behind Corbyn. Shame but I'm not sure how this can end well in regards for 2020.

By the end of the year Labour needs a firm view on Trident, HS2, an airport runway and all the issues around Brexit. If Corbyn stays then he won't be able to build a strong enough team. If he is kicked out his supporters will tear the party apart.

One selects a new leader through a regulated process that gives its membership the ultimate choice in terms of who that person is.....oh wait, that is the Labour party. :) LOL. |
