I presume that means you and the other Bolly Bolsheviks you hang out with in your million pound houses with a Nissan Qashqai and Ford S-Max in the driveway, and a copy of Caravan Weekly in the letterbox.

Being a Labour supporter is about more than owning a hat.

If you don't stand for anything then you fall for everything. The Blairites stand for nothing other than their own career interest and a commitment to a neoliberalism that has already destroyed communities and wrecked lives.

No I mean ex miners and working class people who have supported Labour all thier life, not middle class idealists.

And that's why the Labour party is broke and can't even afford to fight an election - because of people like you who can't see the big picture because your head is so far up your A!S (frankly).

Trump is the same thing as is Corbyn, Gurt whatsit from Holland and so on.

The problem that the antis have is that there isn't really an intellectual idea to form around. Jez we Can or being the daughter of the EU's most famous neo-Nazi doesn't cut it.

Having said that, Bozza seems to have cracked the code. Are students of political history in 2120 going to be studying Bozzism?

As BJ as PM would almost certainly doom the entire of mankind to extinction I reckon not.

172 to 40 against Corbyn

I hope to god they dont replace him with someone electable. The U.K. has enough to contend with at the moment last thing it needs is a semi electable labour party.

No chance while the unions hold sway

You really don't understand that Labour activist are not Labour Voters and large numbers of long term Labour voters do not want Corbyn and this includes many in Labours core areas.

It's not just that. No party can win with just it's core voters.

True but if they aren't voting what chance have they got.

Labour needs to ditch the unions to stand any chance.

Those dinosaurs prevent any modernisation

I think the unions are not the issue. The unions are just their members. There is nothing wrong with their members being affiliated to the Labour Party provided that individual union members vote in Labour Party elections. The union leadership does need to reflect their members I agree.

Labour's problem is that Corbyn appeals to a narrow group of his party and he and they think that is OK. Labour needs to appeal to people like me who will probably never vote UKIP or Conservative. But they do not appeal to me at all at present.

It reminds me of the days when Militant infiltrated the Labour Party and Neil Kinnock said something like " they are behaving like public school boys who think that it does not matter whether you win or lose only how you play the game".
