All true.
It’s a shame because I like the person that Alastair Campbell has become since leaving power.

Owen Jones meets Jeremy Corbyn. That will be a probing interview then.
Owen Jones asks some hard questions, although he admits up front that he is supporting him.
I know you can’t actually watch it, like. The combination of the pair of them must be lethal to a certain percentage of Tories at a certain distance 
I heart Jeremy!

Just joined after 3 years out (only register member) of the Party to put my support (I dont agree with over half of his stuff but the stuff I do I believe with a passion) for Jeremy Corbyn, if anything it will pull the party to the left and even if we lose the next election we shall have remained true to our roots, if not then the only option is a split which to me is a very very valid and possible option.
Actually I have no problem listening to either of them. I actually quite like Corbyn and respect what he stands for, I just don’t think it’ll work. I don’t get this hatred for those with a different political view. Most politicians are in it for the right reasons but have different ways of achieiving the same end. Whether they’re capable is another matter.
Corbyn could just be what the Liberals need to resurrect themselves at the next election.

The Lib Dems are already recovering in terms of membership and a new direction, but I doubt a Corbyn leadership will help them in the short term because they’re starting from so far back.
A more likely outcome is we’ll see the SNP as the de facto party of opposition in the HoC. It’ll be the only sizeable coherent political force in the Commons.

Only coherant in the fact they are in oppositon, in Scotland they are not as popular as you may think, they will slip back the next electon and Labour and the Libbies ill retake some of their gains, they are a political force now and legitmate and they are there to stay, whether they get another stab at a referendum is another question, if they do and lose they are gone.
Whatever effect Corbyn might be having on the Labour Party is surely benign compared to the way that the party has acted throughout this process. The Independent columnist and comedian Mark Steel has been barred from voting in the process. For me, the scary thing would be anyone but Corbyn at this point. I don’t really want the shithouses that have been trying to keep him out in charge of anything, especially the disgraced remnants of the Labour Party.

Can’t take the credit for this, but quite enjoyable.

FFS. The Labour Party is fucking eating both itself and its chances of getting “anyone but Corbyn” elected.
They’re planning on removing “infiltrator votes” after the election. Personally, I reckon they’re simultaneously giving very decent examples of making an utter fucking mockery of democracy, and why no-one voted for the slimy buggers last time.
Jeremy Corbynobi. You are our only hope!

Jesus - the Guardian are shitting it, it seems:
Surely the smart thing to have done was to only allow votes from those who were members on the date of resignation of the previous leader.
Fucking hell, there are some mental statements in that article. Suggesting that Corbyn supported suicide attacks on British troops during the Iraq war, taking his polite welcome to Hamas members as a tacit approval of all their actions and dismissing his statement distancing himself from Paul Eisen as “a denial that seems neither forceful nor convincing”.
They’re getting desperate…
I am being seriously spammed by the Labour party. It’s getting a tad annoying now.
A politically liberal American website has posted about this subject with a (surpisingly to me) hostile attitude towards Corbyn.
Is the article basically accurate?
