The end of the Labour party

Yes I saw that one.

Misunderstanding my backside.

Even more ridiculous when you look at the U turn a tweet later.

 

How on earth could see claim the sentence 'No evidence that spit hoods are necessary or useful' could be misinterpreted. It is pretty clear what the intention behind that message was.

She says today if she thought the abuse mps get was as bad as it is she wouldn't have become a mp.ok yes.

Time she updated that twitter photo to show how scary she is.. Its probably the reason for this as well.

Jeremy Corbyn, when a back-bencher, was a noted non-conformist with Whips (three line or otherwise).

 

Yet Jeremy Corbyn, when a Labour leader, wishes back-benchers to conform.

 

How odd is that?

We all do the same though don't we?

I used to kick over the traces something cruel, but as you become more and more senior, you have to pull people into line.

It is the old saying about big fleas and little fleas isn't it?

There's loads of places in London I wouldn't walk around alone.

And Merseyside, where they chant that you'll never walk alone?

And Merseyside, where they chant that you'll never walk alone?

Is that the chant that Paul Nuttall claims to have written?

Tories gain Copeland, which they were always going to do, but Labour hang on to Stoke in the face of a totally rubbish UKIP challenge that's shown everybody once and for all what a bunch of clueless amateurs they are.

the Tories came only just behind UKIP in Stoke, they barely campaigned in the seat at all, and I reckon they could have won Stoke if they'd have really made an effort. That really would have been a 'historic' Tory victory.

There's loads of places in London I wouldn't walk around alone.

There is a bad area called Matthew Parker Street, there are some right low lives in that area.

People you wouldn't give house room to.

I wouldn't rely too much on a Poll about the working class vote conducted by the Tory supporting Times newspaper

I think Corbyn and the current leadership should stick to their guns, go to the country with their programme and not become Tory or UKIP lite just to chase votes. I appreciate people will say whats the point of having principles if you're not in power.

Labour is hardly "finished" if it is the largest Party in Western Europe and currently the main opposition.

A question on BBC QT. last night asked who represented the working class if not Labour, no one in the audience had a suggestion. The panel predictably claimed their own party did. The Tories, led by Public School educated MPs (usually Eton), yeah right, although I will give Justin Greening credit, and UKIP who failed to win in " Brexit Central" . If any party is "finished" it's UKIP, Nuttall as leader, come on.

smacks of , do as I say not as I do . power crazy

"Vile creature" Helpful language

I am left a bit puzzled this morning. I am and probably always will be staunch supporter of Corbyn and what he stands for, but it appears that his message isn't getting through to people that Labour need if they are to mount a genuine threat at the next GE. So do I want Labour to stick with Corbyn and risk getting a kicking at the next GE but hold true to my and what I believe after Labour's core ethics, or do Labour change leader for a more 'acceptable' figure but by doing so ditch some of the key Labour values?

More ethics with less power or less ethics with more power. What a crap decision.
