The assertion that the hundreds of thousands of Labour members who voted for Corbyn are hardline thugs is preposterous.
People threatening Blairite MPs are no more representative of Corbyn supporters than the nut who killed Jo Cox was of Leave supporters.
This is just a smokescreen being used by the MSM, yet again, to try and divert attention away from the real issue. Which is that people are sick and tired of electing lying politicians who pay lip service to representing ordinary people and then run to the nearest corporate lobbyist the moment they get into Parliament.
Angela Eagle voted for the Iraq War, for airstrikes in Syria, for replacing Trident, abstained on the welfare bill, abstained on workfare, for tuition fee hikes, and consistently blocked enquiries into the Iraq War.

In what way does this individual represent the views of Labour Party members and supporters? At best her voting record makes her look like a moderately middle ground Tory MP.
But, yet again this is the type of leader the PLP want to shove down our throats because they know whats best for us.
What they know about is whats best for themselves. Well, they aren't getting it.
Labour party needs more like Corbyn
born with a silver spoon in his mouth, in a very expensive manor house.
had a privileged, moneyed upbringing
not clever enough to go to Uni
never had a proper job
loves meeting assorted IRA terrorists and meeting other people who want to kill lgbt people and meeting his own litttle clique of trots
hates talking to the general public0 -

You're skirting round the issue. The Telegraph quoted Labour MP's who have been verbally abused and threatened with rape and murder. Thugs belonging to momentum are implementing this strategy encouraged by McDonnell.
You had the opportunity to condemn them all. You chose not to.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -

You're completely deluded. Have you been reading the internet too much ? You need to get out and talk to some real people.They don't want fairness, equality and jobs for working class people.
Of course they do. They also want some one electable, who has vision and leadership qualities. None of which JC has.
You really sound like you've been brain washed.0 -

So let's say JC wins this leadership election (entirely possible). Yet he still won't be able to fill his Shadow Cabinet. Do you seriously believe he will win the next election?? NOBODY is going to vote for him ruggedtoast. He can't run his own shadow cabinet let alone the country.
The PLP are realists - you and the rest of your band of merry men are deluded.0 -

I think you will find that a great many people are about to vote for him to remain leader again.0 -

Tory voters happy to spend £3 to keep Corbyn in charge of the opposition. :rotfl:0 -

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery...
Can you tell me who was the MP who voted against the Labour party the most while they were in office?
AND
who was in second place?
its a shame when the chickens come home to roost...0 -

If you don't condemn thugs verbally abusing Labour MP's and threatening rape and even murder, then you tacitly support such action.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -

9.3m people voted for Labour in the general election. They are who the MP's answer to.
251,000 people voted for Corbyn as leader.
I think you'll find the MP's have a few more votes to bang around than Corbyn does.0
