This sounds like the death knell for the Labour Party as we know it. What will all the disenfrachised Labour MPs do now? An opportunity for the Liberal Party to rise like a phoenix?

That's me! Two tossers competing for the Labour leadership. I won't be voting for either. Will jump ship and vote Tory.

Labour's NEC LURCHES to the LEFT.... six spaces on the National Executive Committee were up for grabs, all of which were filled by Momentum candidates. [FONT=&quot]Comedian Eddie Izzard missed out on a place on the 33-strong NEC, as did several more centrist current members.

Another nail in the coffin :laugh:[/FONT]

theres a theory that they will split within the party, even as far as attempting to establish themselfs as the official opposition - which with more members than the Corbynite wing they would be. it follows that most will be deselected, which is probably the fate for most at this point anyway, so they may as well form a new party and fight the next election under that banner. if a break away group can find some form of funding, and keep a rump of the activists in their constituencies, this is quite plausible. Liberals have a mountain to climb to establish their credentials with the same activists and voters who would be swayed to a breakaway, otherwise they would be Liberals already.

Yes, but the wall will already have been flogged off at a loss in the guise of PFI or some such to some foreign investor - who will have plenty of bullets.

Labour's Future:
Fantastic news that @GMB_union have joined USDAW, The Musicians Union and Community in backing Owen. The right candidate for young workers.


Interesting developments - if Labour splits and the Owenites take the union funding... where does that leave Corbyn?
