My personal perception is that Corbyn doesn't give a damn about the precise nature of a Brexit. He wants Brexit, personally and he wants it because he wrongly believes it will/would free the UK to pursue some kind of broken 1970s socialist model of the state controlling everything. He also wants it because the harder the Brexit and the more of a mess it makes of the Country, the more likely Labour would be to get elected on the back of that. One of the major problems Labour's got is that because the Leader and a tiny few of his helpers are pro Brexit, but the vast majority of the rest of them are anti-Brexit they can't arrive at anything other than a complete fudge of a policy. In trying to seem "Leavey" to Leavers and "Remainy" to Remainers, they've actually done the opposite - remainers see them as a Leave party and Leavers as a Remain party. Lose-Lose, due to not having the courage or intellectual honesty to take a clear and principled position. They are comically inept with him as Leader. I respect people wanting many of the policies of Labour to come about, but people supporting the incompetent effwit well beyond the point at which he turned from "magic gentle grandad" into "confused, bumbling hypocrit and electoral liability" are going to be awfully disappointed with the consequences of Labour's cack-handed incompetence. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with you engaging or asking me what I may think about a situation but asking anyone other than Corbyn what he thinks is a bit daft. In all seriousness, it comes across (as it did before) that you're trying to make a point without explicitly stating that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amend the legislation so that the legal default (in the absence of any other outcome getting majority support) is switched to revoke rather than leave. A bit like the amendment that Labour were ordered not to support when it was tabled back in March / April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 28, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 28, 2019 This could only happen in the Labour Party, good old Wavertree CLP (And Unison and Momentum) They've managed to select a Pro-Brexit (Unison and Momentum) candidate in Wavertree, a heavily remain constituency She was elected on a 13.5% turnout of members. To say this constituency is out of touch and out of control is an understatement A large number of members have given up in Wavertree, sick of the constant dogs abuse they receive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This is beyond desperate.

The veteran Labour leader, 70, was taking a train to Scotland during England’s triumph, and was snapped snoozing soon after the game kicked off at 9am. A fellow traveller said Mr Corbyn dropped off during the first half and only woke up when there was ‘commotion in the carriage’ at the end of the game. Despite missing the match, Mr Corbyn tweeted his congratulations as soon as it ended, somehow deciding it was ‘an incredible team performance and hard-fought victory’. Boris Johnson also tweeted his congratulations. He is understood to have watched the match at his country home and wrote: ‘Immense effort, many congratulations to the whole team. Now for the final!’ A Labour spokesman said: ‘Jeremy followed the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone got a parachute ready for the new candidate? It’s alright, he only paid for two rent boys and then indulged in an orgy of sex and drugs......nothing to see here. Oh and he also seemed to contract amnesia too shortly after it happened rendering his memory redundant.....cos you know, that happens all the time right? You just wake up one day and bam, ‘can’t come into work today boss sorry, got amnesia again soz’...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I just went and had a look at the vote on the Queen's Speech last week. (Gov won - 310 v 294) 11 Labour MPs abstained rather than voted against - now two Tory ministers also abstained so I guess two of those could have been paired off but what were the other 9 playing at? I suppose there could have been a fair bit of pairing going on (Ken Clarke abstained as did Rory Stewart and O'Mara) but it does look rather odd. Chuck in the two Lib Dems who also abstained (ex-Tory Allen and Norman 'couldn't give a shit anymore' Lamb) and the Soubry mob of 5 and surely it could have been voted down? A more organised opposition may have managed to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
