Frank Field Quits Labour

The irony of Corbyn fans coming out with the "he fell out with the party frequently over the years" line as an excuse for wanting him gone.

Why are you obsessed with corbyn?

Frank Field has a long history of rubbing labour MPs PMs and members up the wrong way.

His last act to vote with the government in parliament, which if he and his other 3 labour coleagues had just abstained could have potentially colapsed the government.

This has pissed off his CLP who have voted no confidence in him.

Fuck all to do with corbyn or labour leadership, his usual bloody mindedness has for once come back to bite him on the arse and so he has jumped ship before being kicked out unceremoniously.

However to just quit would look foolish so he has used the present AS row as a shield, that in itself makes him a twat, considering his previous comments 15 yrs ago.

Corbyn or momentum doesn't even need mentioning in this thread, as he was already on thin ice with the CLP before this.
 
Also can everyone keep the zionist nonsense to the anti-semetism thread or bashing a tory comment to the may thread, otherwise if every political thread is going to turn from a real debate to a slag bozza/may or slag corbyn theme then political forum is a waste of time.

From the Spectator July 2016;
"At a Labour party meeting in Hove at the weekend, a steward at the college hosting the meeting was spat at by an activist, while Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire’s activists were left ‘frightened, intimidated and in tears’ after a confrontation with pro-Corbyn Momentum activists at a recent local party meeting. Angela Eagle, meanwhile, had a brick thrown through her office window and her staff threatened."

This was the MO of Militant before they were cleared out, its reappeared under the banner of Momentum and Fields is being targeted along with any other MP not of the rabid left variety.

I did of course know about which window smashing incident you would refer, strange how when the truth comes out people either ignore it or maybe don’t see it, it was a made up story by Eagles gang.

Yeah but its hardly a shock that a labour MP lies is it, more likely the Corbyn little band of hero`s are so thick they broke the wrong window, were all the other stories of intimidation made up as well ?, or just friendly banter between party colleagues misrepresented by the right wing press.

Brighton is more than a simple situation, the CLP had to be suspended and is now split into 3, the spitting incident was a fabrication from the leader of the labour council group at the time and he sent letters out prior to the meeting ot kicked off to like minded local members with a rallying cry to destroy the left wing element.
Left wingers were abused and threatened by CLP members from pregress.
Most there say northing happened untoward.


The whole place was teeming with divided factions long before 2015/16 and Corbyn and momentum and the suspension was for a claim of vote rigging that was never proven.

Trust me as someone who has been to CLP meeting and been in a suspended CLP (McNichol seemed to suspend any and many after 2015), there has been divisions at local level in many and bullying throughout the late 80s till mid 2000s by members of progress and the right of the party.

Now the left has becoem dominant again, it isn't liked by some, but division and also a willingness to work together has aleays been part of the party.
Since Kinnock shifted the party in 86 the left have mainly backed it and been supportive if unhappy, the right side of the party, unfortunately are acting like spoilt little kids and having tantrums now the situation has flipped the other way.

That's an accurate picture of what's happening all over the country, the kind of infighting that's been going on for yonks suddenly gets branded Momentum thuggery now the left is in the ascendant.

I must admit though, the sheer petulance and low politics the right has engaged in since Corbyn's election has even shocked an old fart like me.
