The next Labour leader thread

Apparently no one, but most labour constituencies voted out... yet they seem deadset on ignoring that fact.

Hard to say as the referendum regions didn't exactly line up with current parliamentary constituencies, but actual labour voters voted to remain about 2:1. The North East and Wales are key exceptions, but most other big cities (and London, of course) were remain.

He's already doing so and destroying the Labour party and what little credibility they had in the process, the man is so out of his depth it's scary.

Just as we need strong opposition (and that's from a Conservative voter) he's doing his up most to undermine his party and the country by his self serving actions.
 
Seriously another blairite will will just result in people continuing to vote tory and snp. Fridays lame attempt to force Corbyn to step down will do nothing other than push voters away.

Corbyn is completely useless and completely unelectable. He should do the honourable thing and give up.

This has been a carefully orchestrated plot by the media.

Odd how he gets barely a mention and is given no platform for Remain and yet is now being systematically blamed by the media and as another poster says a little later on the Blairites (the anti-Labour party that resides in the Labour Party).

Surely you can see what's going on here? He's been demonized since his appointment by the press, by other politicians including backstabber Khan and a host of others. The media then draw their broadsides away completely to try and keep the EU money secure and because they failed to convince the people to stay (who see no real benefit anyway) this is now somehow Corbyns fault.

He is reviled because he is not establishment and those non-establishment are sadly very very few in number in the HoC.

Jeremy won by a democratic landslide. Those MPs who don't like that fact should like my MP ship off out to Israel and write for them - she certainly garners enough support!

He said himself that if he has a vote of no confidence he would still be standing with the weight of likely millions of people behind him. I am one of them and think I may join the Labour Party if it can help keep him there
 
Jeremy Corbyn: a prime example of a far-left lunatic who is so consumed by his own conceit that he would rather watch his entire party fall apart than step down with any grace or dignity. He makes a perfect counter-weight to the far-right rabble that infest the country.

Must be a troll as nobody can be so obtuse

Also they need a Corbynite/Blairite pact in the same vein they had a Blairite/Brownite pact. With the chief aim now being to get in on the ticket of electoral reform, legally binding that is, asking other progressive parties to stand aside in three-way contests.

It won't last, but at the end of it everyone can be who they want to be politically. Not really sure what else Labour can do to win, without Corbyn stepping aside. As it is now, divided and warring, even without a media conspiracy, the party will walk in punch drunk into an election and won't even make a dent. Momentum and a few more supporters in London won't swing it, nor are they the country, really.
 
Corbyn needs to resign now. I'm very sad to have to say that, especially after the Blairites chose such a spectacularly bad moment to put the knife in, but the Labour party is in ribbons and will not recover unless Corbyn resigns now. Preferably with some measure of grace.
 
I can see him walking another leader election but then if he cant form a shadow cabinet he cant perform the job he is expected to do - especially at this time of change

At least politics isn't boring anymore - I've never been so engaged in all my days even if its just to watch history being written
