Jeremy Corbyn

I hope the country now grasps the opportunity Jeremy Corbyn will present them. Its not very often the people get represented.
 
Well it did not take long. Shadow health minister James Reed has resigned from his position.
 
Whooooo!?

Corbyn has been elected by the party, if the MPs don't support him they should stand down (I'd have said the same for the swivel eyed MPs in the Tory party, but they are mainly ministers these days).
 
I wasn't sniping Phil. It was just meant as a bit of fun. But please accept my apologies.

And I agree about the beast from Bolsover. I probably disagree with everything he says, but yes he does have great integrity. And 45 years as an MP says it all.
 
Excellent!
I voted for Watson and Corbyn and both have won...That's a first for me, I'm normally a kiss of death!
 
I'm really pleased. The Labour Party needed a good shake up.
PMQ's should be a lot more interesting now........
 
Congratulations to him, pleased for Tom Watson top bloke, there will probably be a decent honeymoon period for Corbyn after all Micheal Foot was pissing all over the old hag in the popularity polls until Arthur and the Argentine Generals came to her aid.
He'll go into the next General election, if he lasts that long, with another suicidal note and then he'll fuck off after the humiliation and the Labour might decide they would like to govern again.
In fairness to him, he's a genuine man who won't indulge in Punch and Judy politics in the commons which could put Flashman on the back foot.
 
The first steps to me no longer feeling disenfranchised from the Labour Party. I suspect there are many lapsed Labour voters such as myself who would have given up for good if we were subjected to more centre right faux-Tory crap.

Those in the party who don't like it are free to leave and set up their own movement. Maybe there exists a sub-section of the population who really want to vote for Tory policies without actually voting for the Tories but I don't want any part of it.

Click to expand...

Shadow health minister Jamie Reed and Shadow work and pensions spokesman Rachel Reeves have resigned... Shadow education spokesman Tristram Hunt has said he will not serve in a Corbyn shadow cabinet - and Yvette Cooper confirmed that she will return to the back benches.

Good..Now represent the Labour Party and its members or fuck off
 
Reeves explicitly backs much of IDS' work, great news she has buggered off. There is no room in the Labour Party for someone who backs "reforms" which punish the poorest members of society.
 
This is a victory for the democratic process of leader selection that Miliband brought in. That in itself is a good thing. What seems to be a concern is the level of Blairite dismay at the labour party returning to where it was always envisaged in the political spectrum. Corbyn has a lot more in common with Ramsay MacDonald, Attlee or Aneurin Bevan than he does with the likes of Tony Blair.

As others have said, if they don't like the result there is nothing to stop them setting up a new political party. I don't think they would get that many votes though. Everything is being put in place for an early coup. The back bench reaction to Corbyn's first PMQs could be interesting.
