Just agree with the clique that try and run these threads and your fine

Apparently sneering from the sidelines is tolerated too, slightly.

No sense of irony allowed around these parts.

Not if the clique don't like you.

So, what do you think about that Corbyn eh?

I reckon 2015 is going to be a good year and by 2016 The Tories will be gone and we can start rebuilding Britain into a socialist paradise.

Corbyn trolling the centrists by going to the British Kebab Awards tonight.

Legend Jeremy.

Close the thread. Corbyn is too sleepy to go on.

QuoteSenior members of the shadow cabinet have told The Londoner that they understand Jeremy Corbyn would like to step down as leader of the Labour Party.
The sources say that a number of those around the leader are also of the view that Corbyn, who is 70 in May, would like to pass on the reins of his surprisingly successful socialist project.
One member of the shadow cabinet told us: "He's tired and fed up." Another: "Corbyn is ready to step down. He wants to step down."

The only question to ask is was this rubbish given to the Standard by Tom Watson or MI5?

Hmm.

I wonder who we could trust to take the reins if that happened.  So many bad seeds sitting there.

Well, that Watson fellow seems like a good egg.



How about him?

This is the thing.  After the Leveson enquiry I had a lot of respect for him and would have probably voted for him to be leader afterwards.  How can we know how any contender will work out?  Who can we trust to continue what Corbyn has started and not just quietly pop it in the bin after getting us on side by using the same language?

Watson (DAY 1 of his leadership) - "I can state categorically that Anti-Semitism does not exist in this party"
Watson (DAY 2) - "We welcome the former MPs, including Chukka, back into the Labour fold, with open arms"
Watson (DAY 3) - "We fully support the government in their response to the deepening crises in the middle-east and back the call to War"

[The press agrees with him and all is well]

Day five: "No-one is saying the market has no role to play in education, health and public services. Of course it has a role."
Day six: "It's important we incentivise house-builders to start building the homes we need. No-one is saying we should go back to building sink estates."
Day seven: "Maduro needs to prove to the world that Venezuela is not hiding weapons of mass destruction. No-one is saying that an invasion is off the table."
Day eight: "I've said some cruel things about Rupert Murdoch in the past, but i'd like to use my column today to urge you all as readers of The Sun that the meeting i had with him yesterday was very inspiring. No-one is saying we need to regulate the media - this isn't North Korea."

Much as i'd love Corbyn to be PM, i think if brexit goes through and a GE doesn't appear imminent, he'll stand down. Can't easily afford to stand down before then as it'll be seen as irresponsible navel-gazing. He will want to be sure with those close to him that they've got a candidate they'll rally behind and who will keep McDonnell as shadow chancellor (and Corbyn to foreign?). I suspect that will be RLB, but there's a chance it could be Thornberry who i'd be a bit more wary of. Won't be McDonnell as (a) he's a bloke and they won't want another bloke even though obviously that's not a sensible reason in itself; (b) he has a dodgy ticker and chancellor is more than enough without the extra stress and scrutiny of the top job; (c) he's probably more use in number 11 in both policy terms and in terms of facing all the same propaganda smears that Corbyn's faced.

What can we do except make the best assessment we can and keep the grass roots pressure on? Get a decent left-winger on the ticket who will definitely get enough nominations (should be a lot easier now) and not collapse in in-fighting over it. I'd have concerns about Thornberry, Rayner and Lewis, but think about where we are now compared to Diane Abbott going through the motions in the 2010 leadership election.

I'll put forward a name...it might be a bit controversial....but it sort of ticks the diversity boxes.

The name?

oh, well its no other than our very own Pancreas.

I think if Corbyn stepped down in the sport time it would probably be John McDonnell, seems like it might be a bit too early for more recent rising stars who share his politics to take over although I spose you could argue at this stage being a new face might actually be an advantage.

I'm guessing in a following leadership election who he backs would probably be the deciding factor.

Paul Calf

I wonder whether Watson is hanging around to hoist TIGGers back in if they succeed in vanquishing Corbo? They'll certainly have plenty of grapple points.

Buelligan

I think he's hanging around because there's nowhere else to go. 

He started out early in the morning of his life.  A fresh-faced young advertising executive ready to dedicate his life to selflessly helping others.  Somewhere along the line he was handed a perverted map that's led him to this pretty pass, the scenery's changed, the sun is setting, there's no throne, the Siege Perilous is gone, just a precipice and a choice.

BS.

The Corbyn 'stepping down' stories were popular in 2016, along with the Corbyn is 'not very well' stories.
