The Labour Party. All discussion here please

Chris Williamson has had the whip removed again.

This whole business reminds me of the late eighties and early nineties when the Daily Mail in collusion with right wing Labour and trade union leaders, dictated Labour Party policy.

given that most voters are to the right of the left of the party, is that such a bad thing?

I'll ask again, what in your opinion has he said that makes him antisemitic?

your quick to tar the fella so it should be pretty easy for you

No one said his latest comments were antisemitic. You are building a straw man.

It is a bad thing if the Labour party call themselves a socialist partly, but dont promote socialist principles, 

But the point I was making was that the people on the right in the party are still in control, hence why he was re suspended...

Gonna throw it out there again, can anyone tell me what he actually said that was antisemitic?

How many would it take? 100? 250?

 

I suspect it would take just one, but just the RIGHT one. The only one. The sainted one!

The number is irrelevant, what is relevant is what he said, I cant seem to be able to find anyone that can tell me what he said that was antisemitic, my opinion therefore has to be that this is all nonsense by the Blairites in the party

the labour party aren't purely a collection of socialists though. there are social democrats, marxists and all sorts of leftie in it.

 

in order to win an election, the party needs to appeal to non-members. given that the country is more social democrat than socialist then the policies a party hoping to form a govenrment put forwards needs to reflect that.

 

The unelectability of the opposition help, but both Thatchar and Blair won large majorities based on appealing to those outside their party base.

Sounds like St Jezza is not fit on health grounds to be Leader of the Labour Party, never mind be the PM. Even his acolytes are now stabbing the sainted one in the back.

 

From the Guardian, 

 

" Jeremy Corbyn has raised concerns about the neutrality of the civil service after anonymous senior officials claimed he was too frail to become prime minister and may resign as Labour leader over health concerns.

The civil servants told the the Times that Corbyn, 70, could be forced to stand down because he was not up to the job “physically or mentally”.

Since when have government civil servant’s been Corbyn’s acolytes?

 

Are you going to condemn the story? Either the Times has fabricated the story or civil servants are fabricating stories and ‘leaking’ them to the Times. Either way, do you think that this is appropriate behaviour in 2019?
