foxy lady Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Look back at when she was selected and the trouble that occurred then: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-20322069 I note that even Jo Cox was on the deselection listing following this... http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/kirklees-mp-jo-cox-apologises-11305865 in her Guardian column, published the day after local election results, Mrs Cox laid into Mr Corbyn’s leadership. She said: “Weak leadership, poor judgment and a mistaken sense of priorities have created distraction after distraction and stopped us getting our message across.” She added: “These elections were a terrible missed opportunity. We cannot afford any more.” I'm thinking rather a lot of excellent and well liked MPs are currently considering their future options outside the Labour Party.

alchresearch Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Latest ICM poll of voting intention: Conservative 43% (+4) Labour 27% (-2) UKIP 13% (-1) In the latest ICM Unlimited poll, the Labour Party share of the vote continues to drop steeply, now down to 27% – a figure not seen (in the ICM/Guardian) series since October 2009. It drops 2-points from our most recent published poll (13-15th July) with the Conservatives up +4 on the same poll, and again at a level not seen since the same October 2009 poll. https://www.icmunlimited.com/polls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy lady Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Latest ICM poll of voting intention: Conservative 43% (+4) Labour 27% (-2) UKIP 13% (-1) https://www.icmunlimited.com/polls/ 27% is the combined vote of the 2 Labour Parties (perhaps 3 or more) who will fight the 2020 General election. Of course once you start polling down to 15% you enter UKIP teritory where you pick up 4 million votes but wind up with one MP. And when you start polling 45%-50% of the vote you enter SNP territory where you pick up virtually every seat in the country.

Jukes Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 This is so sad and it makes me weep for the party and the people who put in so much hard work to try to make everyone's life better. We have to find a way to depose Mr Corbyn and his crazy people while there is still a party left. Jukes x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You're absolutely right. When there's legal challenges in the high court and so many of his MPs against him (not to mention the other stuff), it must be heartbreaking to see the party in such a mess, and unable to do their job as official opposition and keep the Tories in check. Meanwhile the young Corbyn supporters continue to post their untrue or misleading memes on Facebook and his support snowballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Why do you hate Labour so much? I have to admit I have a pathological hatred of the Tories so I can understand your strength of feeling. But what has happened to make you hate Labour so much. Two words. Iraq War. That was the moment that the Parliamentary Labour Party sold out, and put their careers first. They utterly blew it, big style. I might vote for Labour once every last one of them is gone, and I finally get my grubby scandinavian mitts on my British Passport (the two are not connected).

It's not been a party for years, not a Labour Party anyway... It's been a fag paper away from the Tories... If you want a Tory party, go and join the Tories.
