Report in the Telegraph suggests local Labour parties in England have seen a surge in membership, much of which is reported to favour Starmer.
I suspect the unions and Momentum are going to end up unhappy and Long Bailey will have more takeaways and Netflix.
Starmer's no saviour of the party either.I suspect the unions and Momentum are going to end up unhappy and Long Bailey will have more takeaways and Netflix.
Weasley chap.
If a 'moderate' takes charge, it'll be interesting to see what happens to the harder left in the party. Will there be a festering schism, in the same way Europe afflicted the Tories for all those years, or will the left scurry back to the shadows, occasionally surfacing to ask Boris an irrelevant question on Burmese politics or the availability of Marxist texts in libraries at PMQs?

If Becky wins, it will be a rerun of the last few years with even more moderate candidates/MP's deselected. Until a 'new' party forms comprising of these moderates.
In theory the Labour party is in big trouble but as mentioned previously, the Tories are more than capable of scoring own goals.

As we all did about Corbyn …..& then he got much closer to power in 2015 than anyone imagined he could.The one thing you can always rely on the Tories to do is to f
k something up monumentally or get themselves embroiled in some kind of entirely avoidable and silly scandal - just the sort of thing to get them turfed out of office if they make themselves untrustworthy enough.…..and then whoever is waiting in the wings will pick up the pieces.
The worrying thing is that there is not a reasonable or credible & moderate alternative in the opposition at all it seems. The Calibre of the options is at an all time low.
Wonder who has been filling the Labour coffers with loot for a vote recently.

I think we should actually pause and reflect and realise that NO-ONE can replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader.
This person has achieved so much he tops polls of great leaders yet loses 2 elections
That is a great achievement
All others can do is their very best.
If you win the argument you dont ***need*** to win an election. I Just wish the british constitution would recgnise this. Certanly, had Corbyn won he wouldnt need general elections anymore..This person has achieved so much he tops polls of great leaders yet loses 2 elections
That is a great achievement
All others can do is their very best.

k it up or the likelihood is he will drop the whole thing straight into Labour's hands. With the dire calibre of those running or near the top of the Labour Party that could be very bad indeed.Is it a coincidence that some major unions/support have lined up behind RLB whilst it also appears that ‘we’ are going to have mandatory OPEN re selection for constituencies - ALL constituencies?
I can just see a further purge of moderates and RLB and idiot Bygone having an iron like grip surrounded with extremists..... tts
Welcome to new Old Labour - a true protest vote!!

Unions are still smarting and want control. I suppose it makes sense they back her, their best chance is that way. Long game for them then.
Edit. Spooky, Red Len is getting a severe grilling from Marr.
Mr Marr couldn't grill 4 sausages. I just don't get why he still has that show TBHEdit. Spooky, Red Len is getting a severe grilling from Marr.

As if it's wrong, thinking that a party/their leader is racist, to use that to discredit them. hstewie said:
