Jeremy Corbyn Refuses To Join Brexit Meeting With Party Leaders….
….'because Chuka Umunna was there'
https:/
Mrs May has been the political topic of the day so far, but what do we think of Jeremy Corbyn’s performance? Petulant? Irresponsible? Refusing to attend meetings appears to be becoming a bit of a habit with him. A poor recommendation for someone who aspires to loftier heights.

The man is an ***. He can't do co-operation or leadership. He's a professional agitator out of his depth. We should be thankful that this is being made clear to everyone now, rather than after the next general election.
We need credible opposition just as much as credible government, and at the moment we have neither.

The link in the title of this thread contains the words, "meeting with party leaders". Chuka Umunna - having packed in his Labour Party membership - is not even a party member, never mind a party leader! Might I have popped along as, say, the leader of the Dorset Workers' Party and demanded to participate?
As I understand it, 'parties' exist only once the Electoral Commission says they do and I have not heard of that happening to TIG.

Oh that's alright then QM. He wasn't just being a petulant arrswhole.
He was being semantically accurate. I'm sure if they reword the invitation to include ' spokespeople for groups that aren't officially political parties but who represent MPs that have agreed to vote as a bloc on Brexit issues', he'll be happy to attend.

I agree that Mr Corbyn is being semantically accurate, as Ludwig points out.
However, politics is about nothing if it is not about compromise - there are times to make a stand, and times to drop the stand and join in the discussions because they are more important that the stand being taken.
Mr Corbyn, professional agitator that he is, rather then either politician or genuine leader, of which he is neither, fails to grasp the need to adjust to the circumstances, an attitude that does not bode well for a potential Prime Minister.

The people can choose Corbyn and his party when the next election comes, should they wish. The alternative, I expect, will be whichever Tory has the most bloodstained knife in his hands. Meanwhile, you’ve elected the government you’ve got, so deal with it, don’t go whining that it’s all the opposition’s fault. Labour had nothing to do with the referendum.
