How long has Corbyn got left?

When is the report into Conservative Islamaphobia due to be released? Was going to be as soon as the Election and Brexit was over, wasn't it?
Panorama must be doing that exposé on next weeks program...
 
Haven't seen the one into Russian interference either.

Or the criminal investigation into Big Fat Al bunging public money to someone he was trying (and failing) to bang.

So much this.
 
Long-Bailey did some work on Hospital PFI contracts for the NHS (In the days when Labour became the Tories). Nice work if you can get it ...
 
however trevor phillips has been suspended, and faces expulsion from labour, for potential islamophobia.

seems labour takes some forms of discrimination seriously then...

BTW no idea what the allegations are against him, but this has come completely out of leftfield.
 
Anti racism campaigner suspended for racism against a group of people that aren't a race...
 
Some bright spark has probably analysed the demographics of support and decided certain people cannot be offended. Trevor who appears an advocate of free speech seems a good egg but he has made a few lucid comments in the past that don't appear to fit ...
 
It is bizarre the followers on Facebook, they are literally a Jim Jones type following, almost like he was the second coming, the greatest PM we never had seems the mantra, I think mainly on the belief of him being a man of principles, feel sorry for John Smith who was the best PM we never had.
 
Result to be announced on Saturday morning at 10.45am.

So in answer to the thread title 68 & 3/4 hours.

Smith would have been better than Blair I think. Certainly more left wing. I think he'd have made the structural changes Blair was either afraid or not bothered to do.
 
Dear,


I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well. I would especially like to thank the thousands of you working in key jobs and professions and those organising in mutual aid groups to help your local community.


As I stand down as Leader, I also want to thank you for all the support you have given the party, and me personally, over the last four and a half years. It has been the honour of my life to lead this party. Our members are my inspiration, and I am so proud that we have become a party of nearly 600,000 strong. I have made it a priority to meet members in every part of our country, and I learned so much from you.


So many of the issues we have been campaigning on over the past few years have been thrown into even sharper relief by the Coronavirus crisis. It has highlighted the underfunding in our NHS and social care as a result of damaging and counter-productive austerity, the lack of employment rights at work, the scandalously low level of welfare benefits, as well as housing insecurity and homelessness.


It has also reminded everyone how the people who keep our society running are not the hedge fund billionaires, but the cleaners, nurses, care workers and supermarket staff - so often women and migrant workers on low pay. The strength of our party is that it is rooted in our workplaces and communities in all their diversity.


Over the past five years we have changed the agenda on austerity and how the economy is run. In 2015, opposing austerity was seen as radical; today it is the political mainstream. A majority of the public supports Labour on issues such as public ownership and higher taxes on the richest. We now look forward as a party of economic inclusion, climate justice, peace and human rights.


Of course, we could have achieved so much in government, and I am sorry that under my leadership we did not get there. In 2017 we came close, winning the biggest increase in the popular vote since 1945. Sadly, the 2019 election was a Brexit election and our attempt to bridge the gap between Leave and Remain voters was unsuccessful.


I firmly believe that together we have the ideas, policies, energy and organisation to win a Labour government next time. We can build a society based on social justice, equality, and care for our environment. But it will not come about unless we fight for it.


Our party grew out of local communities and that is where we must focus our efforts, just as we always have. I will continue to campaign on the issues and principles that have motivated me as Leader, as an MP, as a councillor and as a party member for more than 50 years. I can assure you my voice will not be stilled. I'll be out there campaigning for socialism, peace and justice, and I feel sure we'll be doing that together.


Best wishes,


Jeremy Corbyn


Sorry Jeremy but after 2017, the government were an absolute shambles and then were then taken over by a lying, cheating twat but in all of those years you were not able to gain any sort of lead in the polls. Your biggest mistake was to let the election happen in 2019. The opposition parties had the government by the bollocks and had a chance of at least making some sort of decent fist of the Brexit situation. Your hunger for power along with opposition parties thinking that they could make gains meant that you all fucked up. Events since will shape this Countries future forever however the bollocks of leaving our nearest neighbours trading bloc will mean that we'll all be poorer for longer.
