The Labour Party

I've just read a funny article in The Spectator about the Zoom launch of Jeremy Corbyn's Project For Peace & Justice. The speakers were introduced by Baroness Blower (what an incredible title) who was formerly known as Christine Blower of the NUT.

I Googled her to find out a bit more about what she's doing these days and one of her gigs is being Vice President of The Movement for the Abolition of War. It's all very laudable but I'm struggling to think of a more pointless talking shop. Even Stop The War {insert name of war as required} seems reasonable in comparison. Can any suggest a more ridiculous organisation?
Lol, 'Movement for the abolition of war,' about as effective as 'Imagine no possessions.' These people inhabit a place where real, actual concerns are just fripperies that hinder the path of true light, they do not understand people, or how the world works, and attaching themselves to such a ridiculous group just means they've got too much time on their hands.
It also goes a long way towards guaranteeing they don't win elections.
 
And what is wrong with anti-tory sentiment.

Anyone who doesn't like it has a right to reply. As you frequently do yourself.

And you think saying that the comment didn't belong in this thread is anti-tory and having a go at someone making anti-left post??

No just pointing out the banality of poluting threads with corbyn, a man who is unimportant and quite tiresome a fellow.
There’s nothing wrong with it, if you’re not using every single political topic of conversation to attack them, even when it’s nothing to do with them, like the coup in the US for example.

People bring up Corbyn all the time as a positive, look at the Starmer thread.

This forum is very left wing and it shows everywhere.
 
Wasn't having a go, just I knew there was a thread already, and bringing corbyn, who really has no influence in labour anymore into any labour or starmer thread just starts off the usual 10 pages of useless coments and repeated arguements, that was all.

If honest bored of the man, he is irrelevent to parliamentry politcs.

I have no interest in his new project either.

He is still a Labour MP and his politics resonate with a large swath of the grassroots of Labour.

You only had to see how Starmer played to the left with his anti free market model, higher taxes and better pay for public sector during the leadership campaign to see how much Corbyn’s politics matter. Having momentum’s energy come election time will be vital and any of their policies will be suicidal - it will be interesting and a real test of him to see how Starmer can marry the two

Not my point though

Corbyn gets dragged into conversations he has fuck all to do with by the liberals and right on wingers on here because thay see it as something to bash the left with, andnhe get's brought up by some left wingers on here as a way to belittle starmer and contrast the lack of socialism.

In reality he is not important in most of the topics on here he get's referenced in anymore and I find him tiresome as a subject, that's all.


To all his fans in the wider world he is relevent, on here he really isn't as I don't recall any real committed hardline corbynites every being in here tbf.

Manchester is a Left wing city and the majority of the satelite towns of GM are too so I would expect nothing less.

He hasn't been a labour MP since he had the whip withdrawn on October 29th.

The problem for labour is still Corbyn, there are plenty in the PLP who love him, and espouse his policies, and Starmer has got one hell of a job on.
 
My apologies I vaguely recall he got booted then I thought was let back in after an appeal so didn’t think to check.

The general secretary suspended him as a Labour member although Starmer admitted that it was done under his direction. He was readmitted by the NEC after he apologised and clarified his remarks but didn't apologise to the dictated standard of Starmers office. Starmer then withdrew the parliamentary whip in response.
