Is there any way Labour can rid themselves of Corbyn?

If the entire Shadow Cabinet (apart from John McD and Diane Abbott) resigned, would he be able to form another one?

If Sir Keir and Yvette Cooper and Chuka and other Remainer MPs resigned the Whip would the membership got the message?

Surely there must be some legal way of getting rid of the fool.

I am savvy enough to understand a cult swell of membership to support a cult like figure is not the same as the membership being representative of the electorate.

I believe the phrase they use across the pond for the ultimate result of this reasoning is 'too smart to win'. Everyone has a vote and whether the voter is as intelligent as they see themselves or not, every vote counts (within their electoral district) equally.

Yes @Gronky . They've utterly failed to do it. Maybe because they haven't tried hard enough.

Gronky · 23/12/2018 19:52

Where is your evidence? It's strange to accuse them of antisemitism when they actually produced a list of recommendations for eliminating it within the Labour party.

bellinisurge · 23/12/2018 19:55

Evidence of my own eyes. At the launch of the "anti semitism in Labour Party " report, I watched some twat harangue a Jewish MP and that shit Corbyn just let it happen. No comradely intervention. Nothing. Where he goes, the kiddies follow.

I lived through the Millitant years. I know what bullshit smells like.

Anti Semitic women haters are dickheads in my book.

Yep

He's received more support from party members than any Labour leader since Smith. Under what scenario would he be ousted, against the will of party members, that wouldn't result in Labour doing even worse in a GE?

Labour need more than party members to win elections. I first voted in 1979- voted Labour in every election bar the last. I was a member but have resigned. I won't Labour again whilst it's being run by Militant Tendency Mk2

This. A million times this.

Labour need middle England to win an election, and middle England sure as fuck aren't voting for Corbyn.

jasjas1973 · 24/12/2018 19:41

"Middle England" (whatever that is) didn't vote for the last two centralist Labour leaders either, in the case of Milliband, after 5 years of Austerity.

Corbyn did far better than either of them but as i ve said before, if you don't vote Labour (JC is 70, how long do you think he has got?) then as sure as the sun rises, we'll have another 5 years of the Tories and post brexit, that will be a fucking disaster, as they cut corporate taxes, public services and suck up to Trump.

moredoll · 24/12/2018 20:10

So we should vote Labour because they're not the Tories?
The problem is that a lot of ex-Labour voters think that Corbyn would be just as big a disaster, albeit in different ways.

Momentum have infiltrated and taken over the Labour party machine. It’s called „entryism“.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entryism

Momentum do not share traditional Labour party values. They are hard liners who want to bring about revolutionary change in the UK. They need the UK to leave the EU to achieve this as they do not wish to be bound by EU rules on state aid etc. Tony Blair has publcly stated that he no longer recognises the Labour Party. You might aim off for that, but when you hear people like Neil Kinnock criticising them for reinstating people he expelled, you realise just how distant they are from the old Labour left.

Jeremy Corbyn - a well meaning man in my view- suits their agenda. He is personable and his simplistic solutions to complex problems appeal to many. I do not think he is an anti semite. But his comments on Israel/Palestine (and other foreign policy issues) demonstrate that he has not studied or understood the complexities. He is a leftie equivalent of Tim, nice but dim.
