But that's the point of a leader, to lead. Corbyn should have had the guts to stop this earlier

He also did nothing in the referendum

I predict Chuka Umunna to be Labour prime minister in 2024 or thereabouts (election after next, whenever that occurs)

What damage will be done before then, on top of what has already happened, I shudder to think.

Turns out it's tough to lead a party when a large portion of them are constantly plotting to undermine him.

Whatever Corbyn's strengths and weaknesses are, he never had a chance with the amount of backstabbing and bullshit going on behind the scenes. If/ when he's ousted as leader I'm officially done with the Labour party.


They're all just bloody thick. Corbyn does need to go but there's a way of doing it. Let him continue for another year then put forward a strong candidate. A shitty contest now against Eagle, which Corbyn will win, puts us back to square one.

The reason he needs to go is because he simply doesn't inspire confidence, hasn't made a single reasonable policy statement, and made some pretty stupid comments about "never" using nukes, which a prime minister should never do.

The problem is that Labour allowed anybody to vote. Pay £3 and you can decide who the Leader of the Opposition is? No wonder all the Tories (backed up by the communists) did just that specifically to vote for Corbyn because they knew he is a weak leader and completely unelectable.

There will probably be a split after all this too with both sides threatening to sue the other.

Any opposition leader has to be seen to be credible - whether Corbyn is in fact the world's greatest politician of all time is a mute point - as far as the UK voting public is concerned he is un-electable - doesn't matter if he has 100% support from 554,000 eligible Labour party leadership voters, when it comes to the 67m eligible UK General Election voters every indicator says he won't get 20% .... even if the polls are 50% wrong he still can't win a general election, so why have him as a leader?

The real problem with Labour is that no one gives a fk about their politics anymore.

Blair's lot made some success by basically becoming Tory Lite, we have both Labour and the Conservatives inhabiting the Centre, its Tories Right of Centre vs Labour's Left of centre.

Labour bang on about championing the poor but when they're in power poor people are still poor, they bang on about representing ever shrinking unions, no one benefits and no one cares anymore.

All you get with Labour is a cheaper pensioners bus pass and 20p extra on your Job seekers allowance.

They're a farce of a party.

At least the Conservatives appeal to the business world creating more job opportunities and they steady the country.

How everyone forgets that Blair and Gordon's lot put us in a mountain of debt as a country hence why the Tories have to tax us heavily.

Fk Labour.

Well the usual suspects here with their rushed "the rats are leaving the sinking ship" comments are once again in an embarrassing situation now. No surprise tbh.

Too many inaccuracies there to be getting on with

Not least your hilarious presumption that "nobody" cares about Labour / left wing politics

What you meant to say, surly, was "at the moment we have a conservative government"

That's the start and end of it.

National debt is higher now than when Labour left office.

It seems some of you have been drinking the Tory kool aid. Debt has increased under Cameron.
