The end of the Labour party

I'm not a socialist but I believe there should be a strong opposition. There shouldn't be a party within a party. Labour got rid of Militant in the 80s for a reason and they should do the same with Momentum then the Nation will start to get an opposition it deserves.

I dont agree. We dont have a party within a party. Momentum was formed to try to protect him from the right of the party that wanted to oust their democratically elected leader. They are socialists.as is Corbyn.and as much as Unbeliever wants us to believe he is hard left, he is still just a plain old socialist

May's worst week since becoming PM. U-turn on NIC4 and Scotland attempting to wander off again. A mouldy cabbage could have turned that into a gain the the polls for the opposition. Corbyn has you 19% behind.

Still waiting for you to back up your claim about momentum being communists...nothing to offer I see....

It will be hard enough for Labour has it is to get elected. The voters in the UK tend to be from the centre ground and if the leadership does not try to get back there it's doomed. People will not vote in sufficient numbers for the hard left or right.

Labour party losing thousands of members

The Labour party is set to fall below half a million members, with the party leadership worried that it might get worse as tens of thousands of people decline to pay their dues.

 

There are now about 483,000 paid-up members – last July there were 554,000 – and senior figures have warned more may have cancelled their direct debits without formally notifying an intention to leave.

 

Some could be Corbynites who rushed to join but then lost their enthusiasm, while others may have quit in disillusionment over the direction of his leadership. Our editorial argues the party under Corbyn is failing to offer a credible vision.

Did you pay £3 to join? Will you be remaining a member at the full price?

Hilarious PMQs today - Corbyn attacks May on grammar schools, conveniently forgetting his own son went to a Grammar school!

Pathetic again from Corbyn. At some point he should just stop showing up.

To be fair, was a bit below the belt from May. It was his wife's idea that the kids go to a grammar school, and they ended up divorcing over this.

Yeah, this article from 1999 is quite a good read on the situation:

The Manchester Gorton by-election will be on 4th May, they are still the favourites.

But the Liberal Democrats have come into 4/1 from 7/1, with George Gallowway standing too, that could help to split the Labour vote.

No surprise; the Labour vote was over 50% of all votes cast. Surely even the Party in its present ramshackle cannot lose Gorton?

It depends if George Galloway will split the labour vote
