This is bad for Corbyn. This is also bad for Labour. Spending members dues to disenfranchise them is deeply loving cynical. But then of course that's fully in their intentions, to get people disenchanted & leave the party. Hope folk sit through it. 2000 - Russian submarine K-141 Kursk explodes and sinks in the Barents Sea. So there you go. 16 years ago today. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Aug 12, 2016 |

Shadow Scottish secretary Dave Anderson, who's double jobbing with the NI brief, has admitted he doesn't really have time to do both and would quite like it if Ian Murray would please come back and do the job https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/politics/scottish-politics/268959/exclusive-labours-shadow-scottish-secretary-wants-quit-role/ A bit embarrassing that

Only a tory front bencher could honestly say "Yes I actually think that the cabinet jobs work better when you have to do two of them at once and would only be improved by cutting more people from the cabinet" Like I don't think that: quote:Mr Anderson said: “It’s really hard to see it at the minute whether I’ll be able to do it because we’ve been in a strange position.

God loving damnit I wanted mustaches to come back into fashion and that gently caress has probably gone and ruined it. I did say I wanted a PM with a mustache a couple of days ago, we've not had once since Macmillan and Atlee. I should not have bought that monkey's paw.

I gotta say the whole leadership election seems to be getting handled in a way meant to harm the party as a whole as much as possible. Like the whole blocking new members/suing the party/appealing the court's decision may have only served to make things even more acrimonious... because it's over 130K new members and I suppose 140K+ are Registered Supporters anyway?? Maybe we're all Tory moles?

"I will do two if I have to but things would be better if Scotland's Labour MP was willing to represent Scotland" is both honest and prudent. The other option is doing a Hunt and running away from the reporter. Pissflaps posted:This could have been avoided if Corbyn had stood down when he lost the confidence of his MPs. It could also have been avoided if Guy Fawkes had blown up the houses of parliament but possibly that might not be preferable?

Maybe we're all Tory moles? It's all meant to be discouraging new members, who are overwhelmingly pro-Corbyn. So that the party can go back to having a fraction of the members, but they are mostly ideologically "correct" according to Progress. Which is why folk can't let this get them down, it's giving in to these people. Pissflaps posted:This could have been avoided if Corbyn had stood down when he lost the confidence of his MPs. Yes, & World War 2 could have been avoided if only Britain & France conceded the Danzig corridor to Germany in 1939 like Hitler wanted. And then the next unreasonable demand. And the one after that.

It's Pissflaps. He only understands pedantry & hyperbole. You've got to speak his language if you make the foolish mistake of engaging with him, as I just did. Anyway, don't you have someone to call a coconut in a shamelessly racist way that you'll then go on to try & sweep under the carpet like it isn't something incredibly embarrassing & shameful for a liberal to do? Guavanaut posted:A better way of avoiding it would have been not throwing hundreds of thousands of men from across the world into a meat grinder just because an expired treaty with Belgium in 1914. And another better way would be inventing a time machine & go back to whoever current humanity's common ancestor is & killing them as a child. But that's just getting silly.

forkboy84 posted:It is what it is. There's one Scottish Labour MP, he doesn't want to work with Corbyn. It's not good but the dude currently doing the job saying "I should only be doing one job" is pretty fair. I mean in the ranking of problems for Scottish Labour I think this is quite low down. Corbyn could give the job to a Lib Dem.
