When the Corbynistas Come A-Knocking............

Jeremy's idea is that his huge army of fans will go round knocking on doors, and persuade the electorate to vote him into No. 10. What will be your response?

 

rather talk to a jehova witness.

 

I'll call Paul May and his Eastern European henchmen.

 

Genuine question to the Labour moderates on here -

@SuperChrissyisfantasticPardswasatrocious @DonCorleone @charltonted @The Kish @ForestHillBilly

If you feel sufficiently offended about the state of the Labour Party - why don't you DO something ? The so called Moderates have not got a backbone between them. 35 years ago the likes of David Owen and Woy Jenkins took on Militant and formed their own Party ! 50 years ago Hugh Gaitskell said he would "fight and fight and fight again" for the Party he loved.

What is the Labour Moderates equivalent response in 2017 ?

@SuperChrissyisfantasticPardswasatrocious in bed all week with man flu !

 

Leave me alone.

 

In all honesty what is happening to the Labour Party is a takeover by the UK Communist Party under the name of Momentum and the traditional Labour supporters are just letting it happen? I guess the 'cobweb theory' is going on here... first Blair (to make the Party electable) took the Labour Party too far Right and now Corbyn (more precisely Momentum) is taking the LP far left into Communist Party territory...

What is happening to Labour at present reminds me of Wimbledon FC... moved to MK but the owner pretends it is the same Wimbledon .... perhaps the traditional Labour activists need to form AFC Labour to reclaim their Party?

 

"Man flu" I knew your reading was selective but wasn't aware of how bad it actually was.

"Why don't you DO something". Because my political knowledge is pretty limited. I also already work 12+ hour days. When I don't have "man flu" of corse.

 

Beyond attending ward meetings and saying My piece, what else? The moderates are in a big majority in Orpington, one of them is a fellow protestor. We saw off Militant and we will see off Momentum

 

Some ask Nick why doesn't he DO something about Roland and Charlton.

Same situation I guess?

 

There are widespread reports this morning that Corbyn spent much of yesterday doing what is really the No.1 priority for him - stitching up safe Labour seats for his backers so that he can secure the 15% backing in the PLP he will need after the Election to stand again. Corbyn seems to have a particular problem though in Hull West (Alan Johnson's seat) - he appears to have promised TWO of his staff the same seat

Real pork barrel Labour politics ...

 

Are tories talking about pork now? Asking for a friend.

 

Be serious (now you have recovered from your man flu) - you know all about Labour stiich ups for seats. Insulting the good people of Hull really...but then again they did used to have John Prescott ...

 

You don't give two ****s about the people of Hull - be serious now.

 

But unlike the Labour Party, I don't pretend otherwise. Importing a Momentum student as the next MP for 40 years (Sam Tarry) is disgusting.

 

I like the good people of Hull... especially their Firemen... good types

 

I'll let you in on a little secret - there is a lot of pretending in politics.

But asking us anything about Corbyn is pretty redundant. But you already knew that.

 

@ForestHillBilly

I saw a Tweet from Momentum yesterday asking their activists to each contact 20 voters - they claim that with 600,000 members that will secure 10m votes. I am serious.

 

I understand you are probably depressed about Labour's prospects but it's no good taking it out on the other side

 

I think you think we are more cut up than we actually are.

 

What the Lib Dems are doing to Kate Hoey in Vauxhall is disgusting !! No place for that in politics.
