To think it’s utterly disgraceful that Corbyn hasn’t resigned

The man is the reason the Labour Party didn’t stand a chance in the GE

Yet today he doesn’t even have the good grace or integrity to step aside

Is their anyone at all who supports him in that decision?

So noble which bits of policy implementation are you looking forward to the most from this current government?

I’m not a Tory. I’m not looking forward to this new government one bit.

And I am totally pissed off at the fucking inadequacy of the current Labour lot who handed the country to them on a plate for the next 5 fucking years.

And I’m exceptionally angry that Corbyn isn’t taking any responsibility for it and thinks it’s acceptable to still be the leader of his completely failed project.

And I’m pissed off at people going ‘oh but the manifesto was great’. You know what would have been even better? A manifesto that had a chance of being implemented because the party leader wasn’t fucking toxic on the doorstep.

You can’t achieve anything if you’re not in power. And the Labour Party knew he wasn’t electable so this is on them. This is on everyone who tried to polish a turd and is now blaming people for not wanting it.

And the Labour Party knew he wasn’t electable so this is on them.

And on it goes blah blah, in another 5 years they'll still be boring on about the failure of Labour and how, e.g. 'Starmer, Jarvis, Cooper' have failed to connect with The Voters meanwhile not even giving the tiniest acknowledgement to the Blue whale in the room.

Who needs goady Tory bots when we've got idiotic stooges like these to do their job for them

noblegiraffe · 15/12/2019 01:29

What’s the problem with what I said, Arse?

That he wasn’t electable (look at his approval ratings)
Or that Labour didn’t know he wasn’t electable (did they not look at his approval ratings?).

Ylvamoon · 15/12/2019 01:37

...yawn the Labour Party has 5years to get their act together. A few weeks here or there won't make any difference - unless Corbin / Momentum plan for an other 5 years of utter bullshit.
In that case they are frantically planing the next move.

ArseDarkly · 15/12/2019 01:38

even with their remain stance this may not be such an issue by the next election

No shit? Jesus.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 15/12/2019 02:06

Well it certainly could be an issue

The calls to reverse us leaving the EU or rejoining might by the time of the next election gather momentum would voters trust a remain leader or a leader that supported and was vocal about a second referendum

It could depend on what they do now openly accept leaving or be open to rejoining - Brexit as you know will not be over anytime soon

Still not surprised with your responses it was only a week ago you were telling me Corbyn could be PM Grin

What noblegiraffe said at 00:58.

This. This summed up exactly what I think.

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 08:45

It's far too easy to blame Corbyn. He's been shat on by the media and shovelled up by Labour.

But it's outrageous to act like he's singlehandedly wazzed this country up when your very own favourite wankers have been in charge for far too long. It's their fault we're in this dreadful state.

Can anyone walk down their high street and see the huge increase in homeless people and say to themselves that's alright and we don't have the money to help them?

No, Corbyn was a good man trying to get the right message over to an already defeated country. I will appreciate him for the rest of my days.

Medievalist · 15/12/2019 08:52

It's very easy to blame the media. I base my (incredibly low) opinion of Corbyn on watching him being interviewed and on his amazingly inept performances in the HoC.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 15/12/2019 09:07

What is it you appreciate TheBlueStocking

That Corbyn and co are so out of touch with their core voters areas turned Tory

That it has become acceptable for MP’s to leave the party due to party activists prejudice and bullying

That Labour suffered their worse results at an election in over 80 years

Mmm or are you a true Tory - that would make more sense because Corbyn has failed

Trewser · 15/12/2019 09:08

And on it goes blah blah, in another 5 years they'll still be boring on about the failure of Labour and how, e.g. 'Starmer, Jarvis, Cooper' have failed to connect with The Voters

Yep.

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 09:17

No, I'm not a Tory. I think everyone who voted for them has contributed to an incredibly vile system and consider them morally dubious, either deliberately or through stupidity or ability to be manipulated. I'm only sorry that people couldn't see what's happening around them for what it is.

Trewser · 15/12/2019 09:19

Have you read about the new crop of Tory MPs? Young, intelligent, energetic, hugely diverse. Exciting times for politics.

WellErrr · 15/12/2019 09:30

Really? You should have said...

Most amusing Grin

Trewser · 15/12/2019 09:34

Read the papers, bluestocking

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 09:37

I'm alright forming my own opinions, cheers.

Although your instruction speaks volumes about you. I feel sorry for you.

Trewser · 15/12/2019 09:43

I said read the papers because there is a lot in there today about some of the new MPs, and their age and diversity. You seem not to believe me. Apparently it will be the gayest parliament in history. Mostly conservative but some Labour.

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 10:01

I'm afraid the sexual proclivities of the members of parliament doesn't ease my concerns about the number of homeless people on the streets.

Trewser · 15/12/2019 10:24

Well, you are set in your thinking, but someone else reading the thread might find it quite interesting. I did.

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 10:25

Good for you.

ArseDarkly · 15/12/2019 10:26

Enthusiasm 'it was only a week ago you were telling me he could be PM Grin

And you enjoy gloating about that, enjoying being on the side of 'right' - nice for you to have that luxury, you certainly are on the side of RIGHT

thekaiserswife · 15/12/2019 10:33

Corbyn is the reason why I didn't vote Labour.

He should've resigned a long time ago, he should've also resigned immediately after such an embarrassing defeat. They're calling it the 'Corbyn effect' he should be embarrassed and ashamed.

Awful, arrogant man.

BlueSwathesChoose · 15/12/2019 10:34

BlueStocking you are not being tolerant or respectful of other views.

But then the shouty left are not tolerant anymore of dissent or listening to other's voices.

It saddens me, as a former committed Labour party voter (and former member).

Someone once described it as 'If you think differently to me you are not only wrong, you are morally wrong'. This is a democracy for god's sake.

People -again like me- have very real reasons as to why voting for Jezza and McDonnell and thus supporting Momentum was just too unpalatable. The choices at this election were dire. You had a lousy choice in the Tories, you had a worse choice in a hung parliament and you had an existentially catastrophic choice in Corbyn. I am personally very angry that the Labour party could not get their act together enough to defeat an incumbent Tory government and BJ. It should have been a walk in. But it was not.

Personally I hope that this Momentum strangulation of the Labour party is over. I hope the Labour party can rebuild and regain some of its integrity. It is that which was lacking.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 15/12/2019 10:47

No AD I am not the side of right politics (thought right of Corbyn)

I am pleased that finally Corbyn the failure is stepping down his and hope the party can work forward towards being electable for the next election. Four years wasted - that’s nothing to celebrate that Labour can move forward from the unelectable left wing stranglehold is something to be pleased about but it won’t be quite yet unfortunately the damage shall continue

Not sure what luxury you are talking about apart from being proved right
