Having won Brexit and won the Boris election, why would anyone keep digging, unless they are an utter bellend? Oh. :facepalm::wanker:

As noted above..... Michael Foot's manifesto was described as the longest suicide note in history. It is heartwarming that Corbyn's labour have found fit to channel that moment. Hopefully Starmer will sweep away all this stupidity when he takes over. He'll have to do it carefully, or the...

Let's imagine Corbyn was PM and died in the job. The idea that the nation would have to be put on hold for 4 months while labour have a nudie mud wrestle with the process of internal democracy is rediculous. As that little bird in the Rose and Crown used to say to me, "faster, FFS, faster!".

It isn't about left. It is about credible. It is baffling anyone should think Green is more credible than Corbyn, but that is more a condemnation of Corbyn than a testamonial for Green. Which is Iggle Piggle's point. Innit. But shirley you realise that, or are just being insouciant? ???

Your NSC profile "Location: Moscow" :lolol: Is that 'mental' Moscow, or are you actually sitting on Putin's lap, purring? ??? I am sure I am not alone on NSC, among labour voters, tired of all this new old bollocks. You won't persuade the plebs like me that Corbyn did not fail to deal with...

This. Sadly.

Indeed. And our two Corbyn supporters on here would have it that he caved in under the relentless evil pressure from the massed ranks of the media. I love the way the hard left patronise the electorate. I lived through a time when the media did conduct a relentless campaign against labour (Foot...

I would just like to add that as a labour support, being attacked on here by two labour supporters, because I support Starmer, and think Corbyn was too slow to deal with antisemitism (that was it - all the bollocks I got back was he invention of my protagonists) drags me back to the 80s. I...

I prefer a labour party that wins rather than nearly wins. I don't subscribe to violent revolution and accept that my political fate is in the hands of the electorate. Working out how far to go, pandering to the voter, is a dark art. Whatever you think of Blair, he was a winner. I would...

I absolutely do not think that criticism of Israel is antisemitic and never said that. I would say that if I had to join some queues for criticising nation states, there are a few other queues I'd join before I'd move on to Israel. For example, Syria, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India...

Selling yourself to the public as a potential prime minister is very different from doing a dry day job in chambers and committee rooms. I have given thousands of lectures to students and research folk, but my presentation skills in other contexts were (perhaps still are) rubbish, and I did two...

My suspicion is Starmer is being judicious about how much of labour's recent past he supports. Once he becomes leader I suspect he will select the policies that are appropriate (for a party of the left to win). I don't think Starmer has revealed his true colours yet. The only thing that...

I am sure you hold these views sincerely, but you are completely wrong. Even with a media owned entirely by Owen Oyston (remember him and his socialist tabloid?) and workers' collectives, Corbyn would still have lost. If Labour's policy on Brexit was weak and wrong, that's Corbyn's fault: 1...

Cheer, mate. It wasn't my post to which you were referring, though, I don't think, unless my mind is further gone that hitherto suspected. No worries :thumbsup:

Why is it funny that labour supporters are pleased that the moderate candidate is ahead? There are precious few momentum supporters who post on NSC (I can think of only two, and one may well have been barred now) and most seem to recognise the need to be electable. Only JRG is a true 'no...

Piss take you say? ???

They could and I expect they will. Wrong Bailey will mop up the votes of most of the other two candidates as they each come last. However, if she finishes in last place in the next round she's out. So labour members with a brain should now vote tactically in the next ballot.... My money would...

Thinking about it, he needs to act swiftly, like Blair did. Let's imagine he romps home (with the support of members). He can't then be held to ransom by the momenti in the executive. They would have no moral authority. If Corbyn changed the constitution so the party became duty bound to stick...

After a short period of diplomatic disengagement by Sir Steer Calmer, hopefully. So, now standby for the momental dirty tricks...

Yep. Wrong-Bailey nailed on. In seriouness, I'd positively rejoice if the momenti fail to mobilise on her behalf effectively. I still fear it, though.
