The end of the Labour party

[unbeliever]

where is the far left,? your starting to believe your own nonsense, and whom are these communists of which you speak?

 

The new ones are Momentum and the old are the Trotskyists who's been there since the '70s.

Tom Watson attacks Momentum-Unite Labour 'plot'

though Labour's Deputy Leader is pretty much always on the opposite wing of the party to the Leader, and there has been Labour infighting before, there has never been anything like as much of a chasm as this. In the article, somebody says it's like 1985 again, but no it's nothing like that, the right-wing Deputy then, Roy Hattersley, was never at daggers drawn with the left-wing Leader Neil Kinnock like Watson and Corbyn are now. It IS much worse than that.

 

like when Corbyn became Leader in the first place, somebody said oh no, it's like Michael Foot again bang goes 5% of the national vote just like that with a totally implausible vote-losing candidate like Foot as Leader. But it's not like that either. Because with Corbyn in charge, it's also much worse than that, as Corbyn is even more of a totally implausible vote-losing candidate than Foot was.

Jeremy has released a Twitter video asking for calm and unity, and that its all just "high spirits".

I'm not a socialist but I believe there should be a strong opposition. There shouldn't be a party within a party. Labour got rid of Militant in the 80s for a reason and they should do the same with Momentum then the Nation will start to get an opposition it deserves.

I think it's too late for that. Future opposition will come from elsewhere. Probably the Lib Dems.

I dont agree. We dont have a party within a party. Momentum was formed to try to protect him from the right of the party that wanted to oust their democratically elected leader. They are socialists.as is Corbyn.and as much as Unbeliever wants us to believe he is hard left, he is still just a plain old socialist

May's worst week since becoming PM. U-turn on NIC4 and Scotland attempting to wander off again. A mouldy cabbage could have turned that into a gain the the polls for the opposition. Corbyn has you 19% behind.
