So nice to eat you
They’re absolute loving idiots and Corbyn and McDonnell need to stick the boot in and make this a removal of the whip issue so these fuckers don’t guarantee 100 years of ConDem rule.
Boris Johnson is going to remain as PM and he’ll even win another election.

threatening to expel MPs because they're slightly less fascist than you and threatening to expel MPs because they're idiots who are going to gently caress everyone over is not the same thing

Because a hard Tory Brexit is going to go through on Labour votes.

So at the next election we'll have Labour MPs crowing to their constituents about how they delivered Brexit. Johnson will be a hero for the Brexiteers, and Labour will be villified by remainers. It's absolutely the worst case scenario and if Corbyn doesn't have the balls to remove the whip over that, he shouldn't be in the job.

EDIT: Obviously this could all be jouranlist lies. But 'rising star' MPs like Melanie Onn who were originally predicted to vote against are now voting for, and nobody has suggested or leaked that threats have been made. So while it could all change, signs are not good.

Ten Labour MPs have publicly declared for the deal. None of them have said anything about losing the whip or expecting any sanction for it.

Which does not imply a tacit endorsement from the leadership, they're probably going to get phone calls between now and tomorrow. Labour is probably quite busy trying to get everyone they can to vote down the deal and their more idiotic MPs are probably not the easiest targets of that, to be quite honest, especially as several of them have probably declared they aren't going to stand next election anyway.

Just threatening to remove the whip is not helpful if it doesn't actually stop them voting for it, I would prefer that it not pass rather than it pass and labour goes "well we were exceptionally belligerent about it so it's not our fault"

rejecting amendments and then gambling on the unamended bill to fail looks shakier by the moment, so the natural question is which amendments to back

besides Letwin, which is toothless if the vote succeeds

Kyle and Wilson have moved their amendment up to tomorrow but it too assumes that the vote fails

Enough of them are not standing down that it could make the difference in this vote.

I'll take all of this back if Corbyn actually does remove the whip from rebels, but if he allows them to stay in the party and brag about pushing Brexit through... Labour are not going to recover easily. Especially as they turned down an election to get us here.

And make no mistake Johnson's Brexit deal is worse than May's. There's going to be a bonfire of worker's rights, environmental standards and consumer protections if this goes through. It'll change Britain for generations.

I have a feeling that tomorrow is going depend quite a bit on how many of the Tory rebels (those sacked by Boris as well as the ERG) have been lying about supporting the deal to escape overenthusiastic whipping. The thought of Dominic Cummings murdering you and then walking through the yes lobby wearing your skin should be enough to give anyone sleepless nights.

In an age where the BBC seem to be actively looking for lone MPs to state an opinion contrary to Corbyn's, the party really needs to step its pussy up over message control.

All it seems to take is for one MP to mis-state the party line, and the BBC can bury the actual policy under a landslide of articles about the fractured left and the divisions in the party, and the usual guff.

Ultimately you're dealing with a party of MPs which aren't all ideologically on the same page, the majority of them are inherited from a time when labour was the neoliberal party. If you want the party to be more ideologically coherent that's going to take a lot of sustained effort from the bottom to fill it with people like that, and more sustained effort to keep them in line.

Perhaps I'm tired of hearing that we can't threaten MPs, and we can't kick them out of the party, and we can't introduce mandatory reselection, and we can't get rid of Tom Watson, and we can't punish them for voting with the Tories, or briefing against the party, or calling the leader a loving antisemite, etc. etc.

The Left has had control over virtually all the levers of power for a while now. Why exactly do we have to keep putting up with this poo poo? If we can't threaten our MPs over something that could both destroy the party and change the shape of the entire country, what the gently caress are we even doing?

Which means if you want to win the next election you're going to need to work with those MPs. If you alienate them you're going to split the party hardcore, which is a surefire way to kill any hope of a socialist resurgance stone dead because it will kill the party electorally. It might be possible to build up a proper socialist labour party after that, but it's not going to be a party that's going to win the next election, or probably the one after that.

I mean if you offered me the choice between a potential left wing government and orgiastic cannibalistic violence directed at liberals I would probably choose the latter but that's one of many reasons I probably shouldn't be in charge of anything.
