Should Corbyn Quit or Be Pushed, as Leader of the UK Labour Party ?

[Ricardo]

"Angela Eagle will challenge Jeremy Corbyn for the Labour leadership on Thursday, the BBC has been told."

[freebornjohn]

Angela Eagle and Tom Watson are reported as having declared their intention to run for Leader of the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn has turned a deaf ear to the Blairite Labour MPs who have called for him to step down. The Chilcot Report on Britain's role in the Iraq War is due to be published on 6th July. If this report is anything more than a whitewash Tony Blair's name will be dragged through the mud, along with the integrity of those Labour MPs who still worship at his tainted shrine. The three-way contest for the Tory leadership between Johnson, May and Gove is about to explode into hot air. The most suitable candidate for the leadership of the Labour Party is, in my humble, and some might say radical, opinion: Jeremy Corbyn

Corbyn just doesn't cut it.

But then it is academic because there is more chance of the UK rejoining the EU in the next 10 years than there is of seeing a Labour government.

Does that mean , you will not be accepting any more payments , pensions etc , from Britain ?.

Bttopic , Corbyn being leader of the Labour party, ha ha, just about sums up the state of the party.

After the Blair and Brown fiasco. the Labour party , are finished .RIP.

[Ricardo]

Some Labour MPs appear to be trying for a negotiated settlement, for Corbyns' withdrawl.

" The BBC has learned that a delegation of shadow cabinet members tried to meet Mr Corbyn on Thursday to put forward their plan, but were unsuccessful.

Under the plan, potential leadership contenders would agree to pursue some of Mr Corbyn's key policies on issues including tackling inequality and making the party more democratic."

Angela Eagle MP has made a fresh appeal to Corbyn to resign, "for the good of the party and the country".

Corbyn was elected according to the new rules, which attracted a lot of members who wanted to install a duffer and thats what they got, but he was the winner and he will stay until he steps down or is brought down. Personally I dont rate him and he has little or now chance of being PM, it must be difficult for him to see what other people he gave jobs to treating him like this, the Labour Party is hardly united, it is hard to see how he can carry on but I expect him until the Labour Party Conference in September and then see what the ground looks like. Hilary Benn seems to have marked his card as a possible replacement and will no doubt just sit back and wait for the wheels to come off, hard to see any other candidate, unless, they play the Tory game of stopping the best candidate and installing someone "the Party" want and can control.

Let's see what Chilcot has to say this week before we completely right Corbyn off in favour of the remnants of the Blair camp.

It will be yet another waste of millions of pounds a complete and total whitewash as per usual

Perhaps we should read it first before we come to any conclusions.

Why will it blame Blair in any way NO. Will it blame anyone NO. Will it's conclusions be binding NO. So another waste of the tax payers money YES.

Chilcot is a puppet his hands are tied so don't think for one minute he had a free rein. As usual nothing will be learnt and the smug bastard Blair will get away with murder.

The thing is the Labour party has not had a great leader for a long long time!! Nor has the Tory party for that matter..

They have had great leaders, but unfortunately they have not been chosen, a bit like Brian Clough for the England job.

We have something in common, I'm ashamed you're British too.

Reaction from rank-and-file members, as MPs start to meet with them ...

"A Labour MP has described as "brutal" a local party meeting where 300 people turned up, reportedly heckling those opposed to Jeremy Corbyn's leadership."

Funny how politicians that say this are generally saying it for their own benefit, bigger the country & party.

Didn't realise Cornyn was originally pro leave, wonder why he turned the other way? One thing about him though, he was in the minority opposed to the disastrous invasion of Iraq.

" Angela Eagle has said she will announce her bid for the leadership of the Labour Party on Monday. "

Further discussion over this weekend appears to center round whether JC has the right to automatically appear on the ballot-paper, without needing to find sufficient (that is, 51) MPs/MEPs to nominate him.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36756975

" Labour's National Executive will decide later whether Mr Corbyn must seek fellow MPs' nominations for his name to appear on the ballot paper.

Union leader Len McCluskey has warned of "a lasting division" in the party if Mr Corbyn's name does not appear."

However Jeremy is reported to have seemed unconcerned, when speaking yesterday at the Durham Miners' Gala, claiming that there was no pressure on him whatsoever. Which appears a very odd thing to say, after the recent vote-of-no-confidence, and with an imminent leadership challenge.

Corbyn and his Momentum Jihadis are confusing Labour Members and Labour Voters. The vast majority of Labour Voters have never been nor ever will be Labour Members but they are the people who elect Labour politicians into Government. Now the vast majority of these politicians, councillors and MEPs have voted overwhelmingly for him to leave. The Momentum thugs may well be able to get this clown elected as the Labour leader but they are never going to get him elected as PM. He was elected to LEAD the Labour party and no matter which way you measure success he has failed utterly and completely to lead the party. If he stays as leader then the Labour party will suffer exactly what happened to Scottish labour and simply become an irrelevant party of protest, led by a career protest politician and never again a Government in waiting.

We are watching the slow death of the labour party. Killed by the Communists that have taken over the party thanks to that Muppet Ed Milibands parting gift

[Ricardo]

Angela Eagle launches her leadership-bid as expected.

" Labour Party general secretary Iain McNicol said he had received enough nominations to trigger a contest. " and " When asked if her chances were doomed if Mr Corbyn was allowed on the leadership ballot paper, she said: "I don't go in for suicide missions." "

Labour's National-Executive have decided 18-14 that his name should automatically be on the ballot-paper.

Doesn't matter who what or why the unions will reelection the traitor Corbyn which is good means labour will never be in power for a long long time

[MissAndry]

This report actually gives a very good comparison between Blair and Corbyn

[Deepinthailand]

Don't need to watch that. Very easy comparison. Blair a fool easily led made a wrong decision at the time but patriotic.

Corbyn a two faced liar, a traitor who wants nothing good for UK exept to help his IRA scum friends. Easy really

I actually wonder how anyone could have all the facts 180 degrees wrong.

In your opinion of course. I knew of Corbyn in the 70/80' when he hated and worked against the government in ways that if done 20 yrs before would have seen him hang. I've seen him laugh and clap with IRA murderers at deaths of British service. A leopard never changes it's spots, so please no preaching to me how good he is for the UK

I think Corbyn is a total twonk, but not responsible for harming anyone.

Unlike the evil Blair who was directly responsible for the deaths of 500,000 people, just because he wanted to suck up to Bush.

Get real
