    Now the Blairites have been resolutely crushed, true Labour supporters, and the nation are rallying behind Corbyn.

    This is in spite of every propaganda weapon in the main stream's arsenal arrayed against him.

    This is laying awake stuff for the May's, the Johnson's and the Dacres.

    If they can't tell people how to think by printing a picture of Kim Kardashian in a low cut top, and telling them what to think, then what is left for them?

    now only a short time and a thread away you were saying how successful the UK has been over the last few years

    Now, when was that
    was it the time of the giants, Heath, Wilson, Callaghan? pre 1980?
    or
    1980 to 1997?
    or
    1997 to 2010?
    or 2010 to 2015?
    or 2015-16
    was it all down to the boomers?

    I'ld love to know.

    31% of people will vote Corbyn tomorrow!

    Bad news for MSE's rightwing echo chamber.

    Ouchy.

    What a joke! Thanks for my chuckle of the day, you've made me very happy.

    In the second term of a Tory government which has made some pretty unpopular decisions, and is itself hardly a model of unity, you post that Labour are at 31%, while the Conservatives are at 38%, as some sort of endorsement of Comrade Corbyn?

    In the real world, the fact that Labour are not by now at least 10-20 points up on the Conservatives just goes to show how screwed and unpopular Corbyn/Labour are.

    I just might.

    I was at a north London party tonight, the whole room was unanimous that the lib dems were the only way forward now.

    Labour are dead with Corbyn.

    I can just imagine Guardianista heaven. ;)

    I think the labour right have probably realised that being too vocal at the moment just makes them more and more hated by the 'new' membership. Better to let the leadership be shown up as incompetent for a few months.

    That would have made sense in the first year after Corbyn's election but now? What are they waiting for?

    The guardians mandate always has been to support liberal politics. It just got way laid a bit in recent times.
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    The country needs a decent opposition, we're going to the dogs. Brexit is a fools paradise and we need someone capable of fighting this nonsense.

    Let's unite under one banner, to remain and reform the one union that really counts in a globalised world of financial capital that can play countries off against each other unless they stand together.

    The first thing to do though is to dump man that partly got us in this mess, Jeremy Corbyn.

    Time to dump him? He shouldn't even have been allowed to be in charge of the labour party cloakroom, never mind leader of the opposition! Unless the labour party members aren't bothered about getting their own coats back at the end of meetings.

    Well they tried that and got roundly smashed. Planning will be much more discrete now.

    I'd make a comment about beer and sandwiches at Labour HQ but Corbyn doesn't drink!

    He'll be in office at the next general election. The only way he can be removed is by leading Labour to their worst defeat in history. I'm not convinced he'll leave then either. Momentum will just think the working class need re-educating.
