While the Labour Party Conference may be cancelled, it is being "organised" by Jeremy Corbyn's enemies.
Like all the others, it has been held purely for the benefit of the BBC's daytime schedulers for at least 20 years now.
Tell them to put vintage sitcoms on instead. Yes, including on BBC Parliament.
Meanwhile, Jeremy's supporters are organising The World Transformed.
That is definitely going ahead, and it is what BBC Two and BBC Four were invented for.
The Parliamentary Labour Party is "Jeremy Corbyn's enemies" that's the whole point.
ReplyDeleteHe leads a party that despises him. It can't ever work.
If they lose now they'll be back every year until 2020.
The PLP doesn't organise the Party Conference (bloody hell, there'd never be one), but it will, however sullenly, accept defeat when every trick in the books still delivers a Corbyn victory this year.
DeleteYou reckon?
DeletePretty much. They'll bellyache a lot, and of course there will always be a few serious troublemakers. But there won't be another Leadership challenge. I mean, who would it be? Who?
DeleteThe PLP have already scraped the bottom of the barrel. Imagine what the Labour membership will look like by next June or July. And the new NEC will have changed all the staff to stop a third purge. Another right-wing candidate wouldn't get 20% of the vote.
Delete40 per cent last year, 30 per cent (by cheating) this year, 20 per cent next year, 10 per cent in 2018? Could they be that stupid?
DeleteCould they be that stupid?
ReplyDeleteNo more stupid than someone who wants to lead a party 80% of whose MPs despise them and want them out.
If he is that bad, then what about the people who cannot beat him?
DeleteThat's not my point. Nobody could beat Major, but the electorate did.
ReplyDeleteOnly the second time.
DeleteThatcher was removed because of her No, No, No speech and Major was undermined for five years (mostly by Thatcher's allies) because of Maastricht and the euro. Cameron had to resign because of his EU referendum defeat.
ReplyDeleteCorbyn is but the latest party to fall victim to the EU curse.
No, he isn't. The result of this election, even after it had been rigged against him, will be a very odd example of having fallen victim to a curse.
DeleteCameron should never have held the referendum. What would anyone have done? May would still have succeeded him unopposed, and it would certainly never have happened under her.
Look, I want Corbyn to be Labour leader. At least he accepts the referendum result, even if his party doesn't.
ReplyDeleteBut that's precisely the problem.
No, it isn't. Not accepting that result is what has lost it for Smith.
