Jeremy Corbyn's Labour

[Benfleet A1]

It's interesting that you're quite happy to sound off about Labour's leadership contest but have nothing to say about UKIP's own manifest problems, on a day that its leader has been heavily criticised in a Times article (by a fellow UKIP MEP) and UKIP's two most prominent advisers have bitten the dust.

(Rather obvious) diversionary tactics perhaps?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. As your last hero kept saying, 'You just don't get it'

Well, it won't be Chuka now, which is a shame, and much to the delight of the Tories if Paul Waugh's to be believed.

Tabloids doorstepped him and girlfriend and GF's family if reports are to be believed, leading to his withdrawal.

Yep, an article in a Sunday tabloid unsettled him and the same tabloid has continued to harass his girlfriend's family over the course of the week, so he's jacked it in.

Of course, that hasn't stopped Katie Hopkins insinuating that he's gay on Twitter, the horrid ****.

Also he apparently had only half the nominations needed from the PLP.That might well have been a factor in his withdrawal.

Now looks like a run off between Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper to me.:stunned:

The sooner that ugly bitch is locked up the better.

What GHG ? :winking:

 

[superblue24]

Oh god! She's the one who got interviewed on Election night and flatly refuted the Exit Poll results coming out with things like "this is not what people in the street have been telling us". I remember thinking then that I'd have loved to see the look on her stupid face as the Labour party's challenge came tumbling to its knees.

I make Paul Waugh right, Dan Jarvis' phone is probably ringing off the hook today.

 

[mrsblue]

Chuka in Chuka out !

Still think Coco the clown should get the job,he cannot do any worse that Eddy:hilarious:

It'll be weird watching Paxman interviewing himself Dan Jarvis.

DAN JARVIS

He never had the required support according to Sky.

He never had the required support according to Sky.

Which is a nonsense, as he received half of the required signatories with weeks left.

Is it though,

Chuka must be seriously deluded by blaming being in the spotlight or his family being door stepped .Sky insiders normally have it spot on,I reckon with too many putting their hat into the ring he was fearful he would not get 35 to support him.

From a man far more "in the know" than you or I.

That is not good news for Labour, Burnham will never be forgiven for Mid Staffs and Yvette Cooper is far too associated with the previous regime, especially being Ed Balls wife.

So where does that leave Liz Kendall and Mary Creagh. They are newish names to me, but does anyone on here know how they are rated? This is a serious question mrsblue, so no smart arse response thanks.

All I know about Mary Creagh is that she has a degree in Modern Languages from Oxford.

Liz Kendall comes across as quite a good media performer (born/grew up in Watford.MP for Leicester West since 2010).But she's not in AB's or YC's league I'd've thought.

Don't know too much about them though I am a more right leaning voter anyway but try to be impartial and balanced. Liz Kendall is possibly the more central choice having said previously that there is a place for private health care within the NHS. Though she maybe most famous for being married to comedian Greg Davies.

Mary Creagh has been in parliament longer than Liz Kendall so possibly could be tainted with the earlier regime brush though perhaps more importantly she does not have that large a majority in her own seat, under 3000 I think.

Just read that Liz Kendall admits that Labour did spend too much whilst in power.
