Renton 21231 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't know enough about her. Genuinely. I do sort of recall this stuff about private schools, and I'm very aware that everyone thinks she's some kind of lunatic, but I know nothing of any substance behind that. So ultimately, yes I can imagine it...? I honestly can't, the thought of it just makes me want to laugh. I've said all along though that's it's not just about electability, it's also about two of the contributing factors to this, credibility and competence. The labour front bench is completely bereft of this at the moment, I've never known anything like it. Someone please wake me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5164 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Nick Brown being made chief whip is encouraging (for me). Always thought he did an ok job locally. He sent an email around to local labour members in the run up positioning himself firmly on the fence in the whole coup debacle, but he wasn't an out and out Corbynite.

Renton 21231 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Blair lost me after Iraq. He knew the importance of winning elections though, something that doesn't seem to matter to the present incumbents or their supporters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4365 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The position of home secretary is one of the triumvirate of top jobs in the UK government. It demands a person with sufficient competence, integrity, and gravitas to fill it. Abbot is none of those things, she's really a bit of a joke in Westminster. She's not competent or particularly likable. She's a hypocrite. And she's said a lot of dodgy things in the past which if she were a white male she would have been rightly branded a racist misogynist. She has no respect amongst the British public and will be crucified by the right wing press. She's basically a Corbyn stooge. Completely unelectable.Where does integrity fit with Fox and Hammond who are proven corrupt and gravitas fit with Johnson who's a jokey racist liar? I agree Abbot is "limited" and your comment about talent pool is right but those in that talent pool have decided to bide their time, plot for and wait for defeat with their heads beneath the ramparts and then emerge talking about caring for the people they won't represent now.

I was dealing with the appointment of Abbot in isolation, I've no interest in defending those Tory cunts. Honestly as for the rest, best just agree to disagree I think.

Happy Face 29 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wikileaks offers £20,000 reward for #LabourLeaks with information on how the Labour Party’s top officials have attempted to stop Jeremy Corbyn becoming and staying on as leader. https://wikileaks.org/WikiLeaks-offers-award-for-LabourLeaks.html Wonder if I could point them at the mass resignations and collect.

Renton 21231 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Labour doing well in the latest polls. CON 43%, LAB 26%, LIBM 8%, UKIP 11%, GRN 6%. http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/blog/archives/9765 A 17% lead for the conservatives. At this stage in the electoral cycle last time Miliband had a 10% lead, so that's a swing of 27%. Nice one Jeremy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been organising a coup against himself from day one? Whatever faults he has the infighting has been a fucking disgrace and I can't help but wonder what would've happened had everybody just got on board and got on with it. Like I think I've already pointed out, if Corbyn, even with the full support of his party failed as his predecessor did, then fair enough, but the bloke hasn't had a chance and you can put that poll down to the party as a whole as much as you can the leader of it.
