    Pretty easy. The Blairite traitors will be deselected.

    Its what they want. Its what the members want. Its what the country wants.

    It will be a tremendous relief not to have to see the likes of Jess Phillips mouthing off every ten minutes undermining her own party and leader.

    They can all go.

    I think it's fair to say the country want him to go.

    Corbyn & McDonnell clearly love the limelight (having been in the shadows all their political lives) and won't give it up.

    I thought he had more about him tbh.

    Having seen the state of momentum I'm starting to think that the mantle of biggest lunatic political party has switched from UKIP to labour.

    I don't think the country does want him to go. Labour have done well in byelections witn him.

    Daily Maill reading Tory voting boomers want him to go, but thats not quite the same.

    It does seem to me that the parliamentary labour party wish to hang on to their new labour heritage. The noise being made by them is supposed to drown out the truth that they have never supported Corbyn, and lost that 'referendum' when the Labour Party/ unions proved to be the majority.

    I think with the Chilcot report nearing publication, the PLP want to get new labour back in pole position before Blair gets trashed, and by association, them. Just saying..._

    Labour have only won in places where they should win - hardly an achievement!
    To win an election in less favourable electoral circumstances Labour must poll 40% plus as they did under Blair to get any majority at all.

    Corbyn will never attract the 10 - 12% Labour have lost since 2001, why can't you people understand that?:mad:

    I think it is funny that DC who has resigned and therefore has zero political capital is trying to tell the leader of the opposition to do 'for the good of the Labour party'. Has to be said DC has lost it big time.

    I think Cameron also pointed out that if he stays it is good for the Tories but bad for the country. I agree.

    corbyn is a rich boomer who was born in a manorhouse with a silver spoon in his mouth.
    He then went downhill
    Unlike toxic toastie it is reported that he loved his parents and he isn't afraid to say what his atitude to immigration
    no, no pasaran for Corbyn even if he is a IRA lover

    Aside from the Blairite reference, you are correct.

    Tell me when they do get de-selected and then you have 172 constituencies at the next election with a far left Official Labour Party candidate and also a sitting MP standing for the "Real Labour Party" what do you think will happen?

    What will happen is that you will end up with about 35 MPs for each and 100 UKIP members. In short, permanent Tory government, a far right opposition and hardly anyone standing up for the traditional Labour supporters.
    Its what they want. Its what the members want. Its what the country wants.

    You want to be in permanent opposition? You think these "Blairites" want a permanent Tory Government? You really think that you know what the country wants?

    I think you will find most of country want a moderate centre Government and think Corbyn and the"party within a party" that is Momentum are unelectable.
    It will be a tremendous relief not to have to see the likes of Jess Phillips mouthing off every ten minutes undermining her own party and leader.

    They can all go.

    They WILL go, leaving an unelectable group of Corbyn supporters who will continue to worship their idol. Do you actually want to see any of the policies you support implemented by a Government? Evidence suggest you do not.
