so who will take them on, if not Corbyn...

[youngmafbog]

Only the electorate can. That is democracy.

oh dear trouble in paradise, what will mikey say!


I know it's rhetorical but my guess is ... Nothing

[emmie]

surprising that he hasn't said a word.

Labour will inevitably self destruct as it always does, in a flurry of purges, infighting, bitterness, and cries of 'traitor'. It really needs to become two parties, moderates and loonies, but neither of those factions wants to give up the Labour brand.

The loonies do seem to be winning the battle for it at the moment though.

Nora Mulready, a Labour Party for 20 years has quit, citing Momentum as her reason for doing so,

//More than 4,000 members have quit Labour in a week amid signs that the Corbyn surge is over.
The party's membership fell by 4,243 last week with another 30,394 classed as in arrears according to party sources.
Insiders say that the boom after Corbyn's better than expected election performance seemed to have "peaked". //

Oh dear. The scales are falling from their eyes.

[emmie]

those roles could be taken by more hardliners surely.

[dannyk13]

Emmie, roles?

[emmie]

couldn't think of a better word, those dropping like flies from Labour moderates could be taken by the hard left types,

[dannyk13]

Possibly, but let's hope not.

[emmie]

where's mikey when you need some different input.....

[dannyk13]

Mikey is very selective about which posts he comments on.

[naomi24]

It must be embarrassing for the stalwarts to see what's happening and try to continue to pretend it isn't.

[emmie]

it is Naomi, perhaps some have clearly seen the light, or not..

[-Talbot-]

It's like waiting for Santa.

I was going to say earlier that he (Mikey) would likely be scouring the Internet looking for some damning link about the Conservatives to deflect from this thread but didn't get chance while I was at work.

Low and behold he posts a couple of links about the Conservatives and doesn't comment on this one.

Hmmmm wonder why..
