not trying to be clever, but this shows how little you know about what is happening in the party

 

Your opinion holds no more water than anyone elses. I can see what is happening. You are wearing a blindfold.

Which of Corbyn's ideas are new?

 

Approaching elections with the intention of losing.

Deliberately attempting to destroy your own party.

I must apologise. I've been considering my position and on reflection and in the spirit of the coup de guerre, Momentum's activities fall within the bounds of the rules of the political game. All's fair and all that.

So that being the case, it is quite legitimate for Momentum to destroy the Labour party from within and thereby consolidate the Tories hold on power.

Momentum's true masters, whoever they may be (I can prove nothing as the evidence is mysteriously missing), may be distasteful to some but I suppose in a free society such a scheme must technically be lawful.

There was a time when it was considered the job of other parties to attack your parties policies, but labour attack their own. They are certainly doing a great job.

That will all depend on the reduction to 600 MPs.

But this thread relates to the possible fracturing- permanently?- of Labour as an integral Party.

 

The tories are aiding momentum in destroying labour. The boundary chages give the local parties the excuse to deselect and reselect candidates for the majority of seats in the country. They will probably do the same in the others anyhow. What it will do though is to focus the minds of sitting labour mps who oppose jezza. They will know that there is almost certainty that they will face reselection at some time before the next election. Interestingly the tories have waved a carrot to their own mps by offering them the seat of a retiring member should their own seat disappear. A shed load more look set to take seats from the labour party anyhow as the electorate give their verdict on corbin's disfunctional party.

Also of interest is the prediction that ukips only mp will also get the chop. So good news there too.

Yes. Odd that. It's almost as if Momentum and the Conservatives are somehow allied to each other, such as they might be (just for example) if there was somebody very influential behind the scenes directing both.
