I am very happy you posted this because if I had posted it ,as a tory supporter , I would've been accused of muck raking . People talk about the tory party being split but they are no where as bad as the split in the labour party

I applaud those Labour MPs who defied the whip. They're the kind of MPs we need.

 

Sadly, I fear the threat of sackings and deselections will just see them replaced by Momentum yes-men and make Labour even more insular.

The Tory party operate in private. The Maybot bullies and blackmails her collection of halfwits into whatever she wants..............or hopes she does. The Torys are malignant, they are destroying every vital element of society. Just like a cancer works. On the other hand, Corbyn is a fence sitter. He is leader of the worst opposition we have ever had. When will he start to actually OPPOSE ?? Abstaining isn't good enough, he never actually declares his stance on anything. In the meantime, the Torys lie, rob and cheat all of us and Labour just sit drawing their salaries.........for nothing.

Because, as other posters point out, labour is very much split when it comes to brexit. The islingtons are very much remain, the old industrial heartlands very much brexit. Poor old jezza doesn't know which way to face.

Well this is a democracy and given that the people rejected a PR system, voting anything other than Tory or Labour is a waste of time.

People tend to vote for the party that represents the least worst option for themselves and over the years the evil Torys have had the most votes.

Explain that if you can.

Labour MP’s defying the party whip, well what next Jezza?

Ah, but people didn't reject a 'Proportional Representation' system did they? They rejected the 'Alternative Vote' system; a more complex system which they didn't understand, didn't want and had never asked for.

 

The Tories always give the impression they have a God given right to rule, and they have the vast and powerful Establishment behind them in charge of all the things that count to make sure it happens. They constantly attack anything that threatens their status quo by frightening people into thinking that anybody but then in charge will bring about nothing but doom and disaster.
