Jeremy Corbyn setting up a new party

[ninjahamster]

With Zarah Sultana.

Interesting. .

Why

Jeremy Corbyn was my MP and has more integrity and principles in his little finger than the rest of them have put together. He's done so much for the community. Zarah is great too.

I personally disagree with this ideology - as backed by the Supreme Court ruling.

I respect people who aren't scared to be honest. I also respect people who care about the underdog.

I know someone who worked very closely with him years ago. Ok to run a local community group but out of his depth with anything else but has some ego.

Jeremy Corbyn reminds me of a religious fundamentalist – utterly convinced he's right, uninterested in the views of his opponents, and completely unable to think for himself or change his mind. The thought of him in power sends a shiver down my spine. Even though I'm working-class, I regard him as my enemy. He hates everything I identify with – my country, my culture, my history and my national heroes.

When my grandparents voted Labour in the 1945 election, it was a different party. The post-war Labour government was composed of men who'd fought for Britain in the trenches. Attlee fought at Gallipoli, and Hugh Dalton and Wedgewood-Benn both won medals for courage. No doubt they disliked nationalism and militarism, but they didn't despise their own country. Starmer has actually talked about conscription and WW3. What planet is he living on? Who the hell is going to risk their life for a country that hates itself and has completely lost its identity? I certainly wouldn't.

Honestly think that it will split the vote in this constituency though.

Spot on. It’s the Gaza Party

Agreed. We need a European style Social Demicratic party. Not the weird SDP minority party we have.

I thought Zahra Sultana said she was handing in her Labour membership to form a party with JC? Honestly if they can't even come to a consensus between the two of them it hardly bodes well for a Progressive revolution!

He supports a regime that whips and blinds women for taking their hijab off. Women have put their pictures on the internet, you can see them yourself, he’s not supporting these brave women, he’s supporting the men who terrorise them. He supports russia where the leading cause of death is “falling out a window”, he supports hezbollah which has been a militia controlling a country with no democratic accountability but can drag their country into a war at a moments notice, he supports hamas, no elections for 17 years.

He has zero integrity, literally none, but it’s fine isn’t it because it’s happening to brown people who can be used as a risk free revolutionary meme. Would you be prepared to live with any of the above!? Because i certainly wouldn’t.

But what are their politics on governing the UK? I don’t get it at all. Yes, the experience of Gazans is abhorrent and many people are making the right noises but doing little.

Corbyn’s had his chance and royally fucked it up because he didn’t have the right leadership skills or baseline economic credibility.

It’d be so incredibly selfish of him to launch a vanity (morally pious) project that split the vote and allowed Reform in.

Well, millions vote for Farage 🤷‍♀️

I mean for all Farages many faults, the man has charisma. JC has none.

Ok he will support any anti-democratic regime that is anti western on the basis of anti-imperialism which is laughable when you are talking about Russia and Iran. He will support Jihadis, terrorists (who terrorise their own people first and foremost). He’ll come out in favour of blasphemy laws, de-nuclearisation, BDS as a national policy.

His domestic policy will be spend as much as possible. He doesn’t actually care about the UK because in his mind he’s Che Guvera.

Charisma?🤣🤣🤣

He’s a wassock.

Thats what he supports. He disgust me.

He is but he is a wassock that is Reform. He undeniably is a one man political movement. He has managed to get millions to support him and there is a possibility that he could get into government next time round, maybe in a coalition with the Tories. That is remarkable. JC could not do that even as leader of the Labour Party. No way will he be able to do it as co leader of a rabble of expelled Labour MPs and a load of pro Gaza Independents.

Corbyn has never expressed support for the regimes and their actions. This narrative that he 'supports' them comes from them calling representatives 'friends' when they came to visit in 2009. This was to sustain diplomatic relations and he has repeatedly clarified that and expressed regret for the language over and over. He's also obviously not the first politician to meet with/welcome representatives from countries which have abhorrent human rights records/committed war crimes etc. They all have, and all have to.

He is a diplomatic-talk-absolutist. He understands that in order to obtain peace, you don't talk to your friends, you talk with your enemies, to semi-quote Desmond Tutu.

I agree. I don't quite understand who would vote for a new party that wouldn't just vote Green. Really Sultana, Corbyn et Al should join the Greens. They are looking for a leader too. The SWP, the Workers Party should also just join in. They must have almost identical values and policies surely. They have a well oiled banner making industry already. I think the Communist Party is different though. I'd be sorry to see them be subsumed into that group. Not sure why.

I think any MP, regardless of party, who no longer wants to represent the party they have been elected to serve should be a subject to a by election.

At least Corbyn was reeelected as an Independent.

So he’ll be meeting the Israelis will he?

Which community?

He's met them before and would again - he has stated that he would meet with Netanyahu.

Islington, where he's MP. He worked/works closely with local schools, community centres, is out and about listening to his constituents constantly. He deals with with matters personally and gets his hands dirty. He represents and fights for his (my old) community with heart and soul.
