Well, it's worked for the Canadian 'Liberal' party. Can't say I disagree with any of these policies:

The Liberal Party's election platform included:

  • Cutting income taxes for middle-class Canadians while increasing them for the wealthy
  • Running deficits for three years to pay for infrastructure spending
  • Doing more to address environmental concerns over the controversial Keystone oil pipeline
  • Taking more Syrian refugees; pulling out of bombing raids against Islamic State while bolstering training for Iraqi forces
  • Legalising marijuana

Wonder what Dave, Gid, May and IDS think of the above. Obviously we aren't Canada, but obvious parallels here to be drawn with Jez's approach ....

It's pretty much legal anyway over there (in my experience). Obviously not if you're growing/supplying but they are relatively relaxed about personal use.

Michael Meacher, Labour MP for Oldham and all round 'good egg', has died. RIP

Interesting test for Jez, as a by election must now be called. Safe Labour seat, but be interesting to see the majority.

Who gets to pick the next Labour candidate?

I guess it's local party with the London party leaning in heavily? Or someone gets parachuted in from central casting?

Tory finished behind UKIP at the last election, will be interesting to see how that minor placings battle turns out.

See this why Labour are unelectable Corbyn has been in charge what a couple months and already you have some idiot plotting to oust him. Give the guy a chance ffs

A Labour MP has said he will try to oust Jeremy Corbyn as leader if the party flops in May's devolved and local elections.

Simon Danczuk, one of the left-winger's most vocal internal critics, said he would seek to stand as a "stalking horse" to force a contest.

He said his aim would be to open the door to colleagues such as Chuka Umunna, Dan Jarvis and Emma Reynolds to mount a challenge and "give us some chance of winning the next general election".

But any challenger would face a stiff test given the dramatic margin of Mr Corbyn's victory in September, especially among the tens of thousands of new party recruits enthused by his anti-austerity message.

The Rochdale MP - who would have to secure the backing of 46 of the party's 231 MPs  -  told the Mail on Sunday: "If the results for Labour in May are as dire as we all fear, then yes I would be prepared to stand as a stalking horse against Jeremy Corbyn.

"My only intention is to secure a better leader for the Labour Party and to give us some chance of winning the next General Election.

"At the moment, I and many of my fellow MPs simply cannot see that happening under the current leadership

"I do not have any expectation of winning myself, but would hope to open up the field for serious contenders such as Chuka, Dan or Emma."

Under Labour rules, potential challengers to a sitting leader can seek nominations before the annual session of Party conference with any failing to meet the threshold of 20% of MPs declared "null and void".

Mr Danczuk's latest broadside against the leadership came as Ed Miliband's former policy chief announced he was forming a new group aimed at ensuring the party builds "a broad coalition of support".

Labour Together is being spearheaded by Jon Cruddas, who wrote a scathing analysis of the party's general election defeat which concluded that anti-austerity policies were a vote loser.

The MP nominated Mr Corbyn for the leadership to broaden the debate but warned during the contest he could turn the party into a 1980s revival "Trotskyist tribute act" and said his diagnosis was "at odds with where the country is".

He said the group - which also involves shadow energy secretary Lisa Nandy, MP Steve Reed and the leaders of Leeds and Newcastle councils - would "work with members who supported any of the four leadership candidates and with organisations across the spectrum of the Labour movement.

"The country needs a Labour party capable of boldness, but absolutely clear that what matters is building a broad coalition of electoral support. We didn't do that in 2010 and we ignored it in 2015," he wrote in The Guardian.

"So this week we launch an organisation called Labour Together. We will support grassroots Labour in our communities. We know that Labour only wins when it is united and when it is patriotic and speaks for the whole country.

"Jeremy Corbyn has rightly challenged the party to rethink the way in which it does politics. This is a challenge we wholeheartedly embrace."

The launch comes at a time of fears among some moderates that the Corbyn-aligned Momentum group will be a vehicle for a takeover of the party by the left, including deselections of MPs - a charge denied by its founders.

Mr Corbyn said: "I welcome Labour Together as a good initiative that explores a new kind of way to do politics. I am looking forward to working with them."

In the latest of a series of highly critical articles about Mr Corbyn in the Mail on Sunday, Mr Danczuk said he was guilty of "a profound lack of judgment and naivete" and was "on such a short ideological tether he's never going to reach out beyond activists".

He said the leader - who called him in for talks this week to discuss his public criticisms - was "warm, well-meaning and sincere" with a "refreshing openness".

"But, unfortunately, politics is about much more than that. And as someone who desperately wants a Labour government, we need a leader who can win a General Election, not parliamentary beard of the year.

"He is unsuited to leading a major political party and the sooner we get a Labour leader who is, the better."
