remind me again of how many hundreds of thousands the membership has increased compared to when  Corbyn wasnt the leader? and to put it into perspective how they compare to the other political parties?

And yet they still managed to lose the election.

Was that because of the £3 membership fees at the time?  

 

Didn't renewals drop significantly when they went back to full price?

Quote

Labour had 564,443 members in 2017 – thanks to the massive influx of supporters who joined to support Jeremy Corbyn – but that number had fallen to 518,659 by 31 December 2018.

 

The Times reported party insiders believe that the real membership is now around 450,000, after ‘lapsed’ members — those who have simply not paid to renew their subscription — are taken into account.

Please please let it be her, the woman with the toilet mouth would be unelectable. What about Diane, first woman of colour to be Labour Leader, and PM if Boris makes a hash of things.

 

Angel1.

This woman has got her eye on the top seat.  Hope not though, she's equally awful and has been out of her depth in various interviews related to her role.

Firstly the three pound membership was introduced during the Blair years, it was designed to take power away from the unions, unfortunately it worked against them on this occasion..

I have no idea whether the three pound membership vote has be scrapped or not, but i recall that i read somewhere the party was going bankrupt before Corbyn came to power, the increased membership put it back financially on good footing, to say that the labour party is in financial dire straights again is a bit comical, as i understand the party is still over half a million members strong, a membership the other parties can only dream about

Antisemitism and racism is in every party, what i am saying for the umpteenth time is that it has all been blown out of proportion to discredit the labour party

Tell that to the Jews that it’s been blown out of proportion and any others who are discriminated against.
