:lol: Aye, clearly all Starmer's fault.


Not suggesting for a minute it is but keeping your gob shut whilst it was going on for the sake of your career makes you look like a right cunt at the very least. ...

Point taken. Would Starmer have any input into the decision? 

I’m not entirely sure. I doubt it though, given Corbyn was in his campaign video.

Also the news came whilst Starmer was busy with a press conference elsewhere.

Their leader tried to jail her predecessor. Another set of cunts :cuppa:

 

 

They may be, but best option just now, when Indy happens they'll have served their purpose and new parties will appear, they'll be introducing PR as well so even better.

It's less of a statement of condemnation about Labour and more one about how utterly fucked the UK is.

Maybe it's not Starmer who looks like a right cunt now?

Get the fucking trot anti semites out and back where they belong - hawking Socialist Worker outside the Monument. Just heard a Corbyn defender, the appalling Kerry Anne Mendoza from Skwawkbox, on BBC blaming the whole anti Semitisim row on "pro Israel forces". 

I must be struggling - is this the famous English irony?

Get in the fucking sea

The worry is that Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott et al fuck off and start their own party and McCluskey bankrolls them. That sort of thing would guarantee another two decades of Tory rule.

 

Nah the left don't matter at all, it's all going to be fine without them. If anything they should just fuck off out of the party.

So it turns out that Starmer gave Corbyn advance notice of his speech that he wouldn't tolerate anyone who minimised anti-semitism within the party and Corbyn knowingly released a statement doing just that. Len McCluskey can talk about a divided party but it's Corbyn doing the dividing.

Yeah that's my reading of it too. Whether it was a well designed elephant trap or not, Corbyn is a muppet.

 

As an aside from this, wtf is going on that the BBC concerning LGBT issues...

Corbyn knew what was coming and he knew what he had to do. All he had to do was say sorry and he'd still be in the Labour party. As clueless as ever 

 

Actually all he had to do was keep his mouth shut based on what Labour have said. As far as i can tell, it doesn't look like Starmer wanted to make an example of him per se.

The new head cheese has decided that anything like that is controversial. He's obviously a fucking prick. 

 

I thought we'd gotten to the point where LGBT rights weren't a controversial issue. Presumably this is all in the name of "impartiality".

I don't think he could have escaped without making any comment, but he had to make it about him. the narcissistic old tit

I don't doubt it was weaponised by his opponents and to some extent exaggerated but to to come out and say so when the proper response was at most to say its a fair report is exactly the bloody-minded naivety which made him a poor leader. He deserves all the stick he's getting for it.

He's wrapped it up in the supposed current "debate" on trans rights which I don't think is any different - what's wrong with saying anyone who denies rights is a bigot? 

 

The BBC has a record on this even before now - inviting a fuckwit like Nigel Lawson to oppose an expert on climate change being a classic.
