Extremely naïve from Nandy, she had real momentum as an up and coming left winger but there's no way she's ready yet. She'll end up a PLP stooge and it'll finish her career.

Fans posted:A good few of these are Junior Positions which nobody really gives a poo poo about. I liked when the Mirror's twitter put out "Another front bench resignation as Jess Phillips resigns with damning letter you really have to read" or words to that effect. We're now pretending that PPS count as front bench. At least pretend this isn't a concerted establishment effort to torpedo a candidate for change eh?

Dominionix posted:Yeah, unfortunately I made the schoolboy error of opening Facebook (which for me is filled with Londoners) where I've had to endure 48 hours of painfully idiotic arguments about how this isn't the type of democracy people wanted, so there should be a second referendum. It's taken it's toll. I don't think anyone quite expected this. I'm both amazed and horrified at the same time, and possibly still shocked. E: I'm also waiting for the Labour HQ cleaner to send in a resignation too. I think we're nearly out of roles unless they start making some up.

Guavanaut posted:He can be shadow minister for being a loving oval office who only wants to be in Europe so he can exploit immigrant labor who aren't aware of their workers' rights. When, aged 18 in 1998, I told my politics a-level teacher I was going to study Chinese at uni instead of PPE, after a few dismissive remarks he said "maybe one day you'll be the governor after the Chinese send a gunboat down the Thames to shell Parliament." He laughed. I laughed. I didn't think he would be right.

Maria resigned in the last few minutes. Cross her off. No idea about Winterton, she's surely off soon. Don't even know who the others are. I don't think there are any Corbyn allies left to declare. A number of those positions are shadows for portfolios that don't exist in government. The rumbling at the time was they added some extras so they could claim a 50%+ female cabinet while still honouring commitments.

Antti posted:At least with this shitshow you can have a certain degree of Schadenfreude because the cause and effect is obvious and you're not personally taking the brunt of it (I'm not British), in 2008 it was just "oh my god we're all going to die" for weeks. 'You' is probably a bad way to phrase it, in this, the UKMT. We're all turbofucked over here, thanks.

They could all resign and he'd just offer jobs to newer MP's and Lords. He'll weather them out unless they force it with a leadership challenge. The one chance they have of doing him in by resignation is to break his Union support, but the Unions are saying they're behind him and the PLP can get hosed, so no hope there.

Not really trying to dance on graves or anything, but rubbernecking is irresistible. Also Palpek is Polish I think so I was kind of thinking of us not-British Europeans there. Or is it just "not-British" now.

This country has voted 52-48 to shoot itself in the dick, and the worst part is that if your dick is in the devil's hand and he's dragging you down to hell shooting yourself in the dick might be the best option.

Tesseraction posted:Corbyn appears to have agreed to a leadership contest If this happens it's worth remembering that despite constant hostile briefing from his own senior colleagues and a relentlessly negative press, Corbyn has outperformed predictions in every electoral test so far, and that his (apparently unsatisfactory, shambolic) Remain campaign delivered more Remain votes than any other party. And the PLP are still trying to force him out despite having an unprecedented mandate from the membership, who were told they were stupid and petulant from the start.

Hoops posted:I think most party leaders say that, until the point where they resign. Whatever he said this morning may no longer apply by 5pm, particularly if Watson resigns. But unlike other party Leaders, Corbyn is a bit of an oddball. He's made a career out of telling the PLP to get hosed, why stop now?
