Jeremy Corbyn

[ColchesterFC]

How can Jeremy Corbyn continue as a credible Labour leader now that even his own Shadow defence Secretary has spoken against him in the debate to day on attacking IS in Syria? Will JC need to sack those in his shadow cabinet that don't agree with him and bring in others that share his views? Is the Labour party heading for a split as it seems that a lot of the membership back JC and his views?

Heading for???? You have been watching the news since he was elected haven't you?

Depends how you look at it, he offered his MPs a free vote on such a controversial issue. You could argue that this is a very mature way to operate and if we had more of it we could reach a consensus a lot more and move on to make this country a better place. Instead of the constant gladiatorial bickering and instantly opposing anything the other party says just for the sake of it, that politics has mostly descended into.

Earlier last week even his Shadow Chancellor was saying his was in favour of supporting the government, funny how when it became clear that the motion would get through he changed his mind. How many others bottled it just to show a modicum of support for their leader knowing it wouldn't make a difference.

Politics is a funny old game - hate the lot of them - Guy Fawkes had the right idea.

I'll think you'll find out that was a ploy to root out the MPs and show them up to the Labour members - watch the bullying begin......

Good for him with his re-shuffle.
Probably a mistake to start with some of those who were so against his principles.

The arrogance of some of the folk he has sacked is almost comical.
Four and a half years in politics with a big public mandate.......somehow the fools managed to ignore that.

 

[Old Skier]

I presume you find it acceptable that he refuses to play the party line with regard to trident and other policies adopted by the national council but tries to sack those who disagree with his personnel point of view. A bit of a hypocrite really.

I see he didn't have the gonads to take on Mr Benn.

He may have a huge public mandate but he obviously doesn't have the backing of many of his MPs which is going to make life a tad tricky...

Which is exactly why he couldn't get the backing to bin Benn.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Doesn't matter what Corbyn does now, he is and always will be unelectable to the county at large.
Amusing he sees fit to sack those who don't agree with him, seeing how many times he went against the leadership when he was just a backbencher.

 

[Old Skier]

Funny how the unions that got him power are now telling him to wind back on Trident as too many of their members would end up losing their jobs.

The next few by elections are going to be quite interesting.

Only if people vote which gets more unlikely every election.

Cannae be a re-shuffle as he hadn't previously done a shuffle... If anything it's a revamp.

It's a hire & fire...totally unelectable, the future's blue :whoo:

Incompetencies :rofl: yeah let's let the lunatics back in the asylum shall we to have another go at Boom & Bust tactics, they've never learn't from any term of office and never will because Labour puts too much emphasis on spending rather than reform, that leads to billions being spent with very little impact on society. That was proved when labour turned John Majors legacy into a £100bn deficit, labour are irresponsible and with this leftie at the helm they are now also dangerous!

Funny how Major seldom gets credit for being one of the best PM's in the last 60 years.
It was the other branch of the Tories wot got rid of him as well.
