do the plp have a candidate yet

you'd have thought on friday morning the lesson about not rushing headlong into really stupid gambits with no strategy would have been fresh in their minds

They've got poo poo all. And all the rumours couldn't beat Corbyn.

It's like the wrestling when a promoter is promising a big return and then it turns out to be someone who's only been gone for two weeks and you didn't even like them when they were here.

They are giving him a day to 'consider his position' in the hope that he will quietly resign. The loving morons. In the meantime one of their leading presumptive nominees Angela Eagle has been sent a letter from her CLP in no uncertain terms saying that they're super pissed with her for her actions, so I'm hoping she will pull her neck in for fear of deselection. Not that that will work :unsmigghh:

In the unlikely event that she stands and wins, is there any precedent for deselecting a current party leader?

The spiky one.
They also talked about Tom Watson but as he's still in the shadow cabinet I presume he's smart enough to know the rebels have hosed themselves even if Corbyn goes next month after roasting Blair.

What happens if they push for a Labour Lord as leader? I don't think deselection would work in that case would it? Not that any of the membership would vote for them.

Not that I know of, but in theory it would work just the same way as for anyone else - the members of the Constituency party would vote them out, and they would no longer be the candidate at the next election, so unless they stumped up the cash themselves and ran as an independent, they'd be out of a job, and either way they would not be a Labour candidate.

gently caress knows. THis would be an interesting thing to find out about though. My basic understanding is that they would be able to serve essentially indefinitely until they resigned or faced a leadership challenge, but I have the feeling the party leader has to be a sitting MP.

lol just seen Cameron demanding an end to freedom of movement like he is in any sort of bargaining position

the one good thing that might result from this is a realisation that we are in fact a second rate northern european economy and not a world straddling empire and we can stop spending £350 million a week on trident and aircraft carriers with no planes and spend it on Wales Cornwall and the nhs

I was going to say they can gently caress off wanting money after last week, but actually, all regions should have their EU funding matched, directly correlated to their Remain vote percentage.

RE: Empire, it's fairly comical that the baby boomers who voted leave to bring back the glory of the British empire, inadvertently caused what remains of it to most likely break away from England. In the end you'll be left with Wales.

I'll have a go. I run to the left of Corbyn but I've got more crossover appeal because I lived in the north west for a bit and sometimes listen to grime.

My policy is to remove the whip from every Labour MP and let Dennis Skinner vote 209 times on their behalf.

If people are going to post "wow look at THIS guys..!" links to Twitter or Facebook or w/e can they either quote it or screenshot it cos I've lost track of the number of hot takes that lead to "this page no longer exists" or whatever.

Given how much flux things are in I'm expecting links to the BBC news homepage to redirect to a huge gif of Dimbleby holding up his hands in a "hosed if I know" kind of way.

To be fair, the British state doesnt have any trade negotiators because that was completely delegated to the EU. To negotiate all the promised trade deals we'll need like 700 or so, according to one estimate I heard.

Because the EU needs to make an example of the UK or Spain will follow suit, or so I'm told, not to mention that the EEA means Schengen and Schengen would never be accepted by the hardcore Leavers. I'm very doubtful that we end up in Schengen, so we can't end up in the EEA.

A Norway type deal with the UK, or any other deal that involves free movement or their parliament having to aprove anything is pure madness. In 5 years they'll be dragging their feet over approving a growing pile of EU legislation and in 10 years they'll be having another referendum and Europe will have another economic crisis. Give them nothing that involves free movement of people, which means no access to the common market.
