The same man who lost a leadership election to Ed Milliband?

 

What an absolute cluster**** that was.

Milliband the reasonably bright beaten by his thick brother, Chuka Umana stood down because he wanted to spend time with his family. Jezzer sprung in as the JOKE candidate and then wins.

You just couldn't make it up!

Believe me; it's better to have a loser leading the Labour party.

That was the story, but the rumour was someone somewhere had something on him, probably extramarital, possible more 'complex'.

That must be the quickest poll ever🥴  PS. No one asked me, so I believe those %'s are a bit premature……..

Online poll of 5,641 respondents, so should be reasonably accurate. Also:

'The Momentum founder, Jon Lansman, was on the receiving end of an extraordinary broadside from the Labour grandee Alan Johnson as they appeared together during ITV’s election coverage. Accusing Momentum of peddling “student politics”, Johnson said: “I want them out of the party. I want Momentum gone. Go back to your student politics and your little left wing.” Corbyn “couldn’t lead the working class out of a paper bag”, the former home secretary added.' (taken from the guardian)

I saw that bit when I'd turned over, didn't know who they were but it made me laugh.

I think at the time you could join Labour for £3 and vote for the leader.    Possibly people joined and voted for the least electable.

The biggest lesson LABOUR can learn from this is…….. "IGNORE DEMOCRACY AT YOU'RE PERIL"👍

Egg-zactly in my opinion. Revenge is such a powerful emotion that doing the dirty on the referendum result after assurances they'd honour it was their greatest mistake that voters would not forgive them for.

I think what lost votes for labour was their policy's and their leadership team, if they sort those 2 things out they could be in with a chance in a couple of decades.

Brexit wasn't high in my voting decision keeping labour out was, I have no interest in working in the state tractor factory!

I wonder just who Labour will elect. If it is from the Momentum backed Corbynistas, they face a very long time in the wilderness.

Starmer has a boring personality.

Rayner has a rather unfortunate personality.

Becky Long Bailey is bright enough, but will suffer by association with Jezzer.

Yvette Cooper has no personality.

I said months ago that David Milliband will be biding his time and will just need to wait for a few disastrous local elections for Labour to come to their senses..

There is another Corbyn love child who is quite high profile, hates the conservative party more than any other politician and is generally a despicable rancid ****, therefore an ideal candidate !

Richard burgen , he is a Leeds mp, my money is on him and I hope he gets the job. Other than Dianne Abbott  he would be my choice.

Yes but Labour's had equally bad leaders in the past and it didn't dissuade their loyal lemmings🥴 This time was clearly about Labour ignoring their referendum vote……..

Thanks Mice

its just that using the HMRC tax calculator I get the following as a hypothetical scenario 

Nurse currently on £35000 would after tax/ni, currently receive £27337 per annum

Labour offer a 5% wage increase that takes that up to £36750, after tax etc of £28527

Heres the rub, abolish Personal Allowance and that same Nurse who has received their 5% Increase, would now be £1300 a year worse off as their take home pay would now be £26027

It is of course irrelevant now with the Tory victory and it being just a Labour “Potential” removal, but say it did happen?

Why aren’t scenarios such as this highlighted more?

Apparently the loony left are protesting in Westminster, London and Glasgow against Boris and the Tory’s election victory, repeatedly shouting “oh! Jeremy Corbin” The police are in attendance, the pictures show placards headed “socialist worker”....”they don’t like it up em Mr Mainwaring” lol! :lol:
