Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has quashed a motion at his party conference to oust his deputy, Tom Watson, by abolishing the position.

Mr Corbyn suggested the role should be reviewed instead, and was backed by the ruling National Executive Committee, a Labour source said.

A group of Labour MPs had urged the NEC to avoid an "internal civil war" when it should be preparing for an election.

Mr Watson called the move to oust him a "sectarian attack" on a "broad church". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/49781152
This is what happens when you don't toe the Momentum line.

I doubt it but they will eventually control all policy making mechanisms.

Boris Johnson will try to convince key EU leaders that the UK is developing a workable plan for the Irish border after Brexit, when he meets them in the margins of the United Nations general assembly in New York.

As well as face-to-face talks with Donald Trump – his first meeting with the US president on American soil since becoming prime minister – Mr Johnson will hold discussions with Germany’s Angela Merkel, French president Emmanuel Macron, Irish premier Leo Varadkar and European Council president Donald Tusk. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/brexi...id=mailsignout
This will most definitely be his toughest meeting since coming into office.

Rule as in control of the labour party, i doubt they would get in government with those thugs running the party.

The unions still hold the key to the balance of power but Momentum is gradually closing the advantage.

Now this really did make me laugh, I never miss an airing of what is one of my top three tv choices and clearly remember the show in question.

Diane Abbott can't help but making a fool of herself almost every time she speaks :nope:

Quote:

Diane Abbott has criticised Question Time host Fiona Bruce following an appearance on the BBC show earlier this year.

Speaking to a Morning Star fringe event at the Labour Party conference, Abbott said she believes former host David Dimbleby “was fairer” than current presenter Ms Bruce.

Labour lodged a complaint against the BBC after the shadow home secretary said she was treated unfairly on the programme in January.

At the time, Abbott said she was repeatedly interrupted, with Bruce stepping in to correct her, wrongly, over the latest Labour polling figures.

The BBC has since acknowledged Abbott was right about the polling figures, but Labour said it wants an on-air apology.

At the fringe event – which was entitled “The Media War on Labour” – the audience booed and hissed after Abbott said: “I had an interesting experience with Fiona Bruce and Question Time.”

The senior Labour MP said she had been on Question Time with its previous presenters Robin Day and David Dimbleby.

She added: “I did it under Robin Day, that was a long time ago now. I did it under David Dimbleby very regularly.

“But David Dimbleby was fairer, in my opinion, than Fiona Bruce, and David Dimbleby did not wind up the audience against me before the programme went on air.

“And I have to say Fiona Bruce has yet to apologise.”

Mr Corbyn was dealt a blow on Saturday when it emerged one of his aides, head of policy Andrew Fisher, revealed he will quit his post by the end of the year.

He said he wanted "to spend more time with his young family", but the Sunday Times claims he warned Mr Corbyn would not win the next general election and criticised the leader's office "lack of professionalism, competence and human decency". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49786833
Looks like someone has woken up and smelled the coffee at last.

I had an interesting telephone conversation last night with an ex-colleague who is at the Labour Party Conference. They inform me that despite the fact Momentum continue to support Steptoe, there is a lot of behind the scenes work being undertaken to source a suitable far left wing successor to Steptoe when he eventually steps down for whatever reason.

Momentum enjoy a strong position in the Labour Party after decades of trying and are looking to cement and maintain that position long into the future.

I doubt the UK electorate will ever be like minded.

What party leaders we have, first up Bojo the sponge cake followed by the nameless one who talks to terrorists organisations and finally Adolf Swinson and her un-democrastic party. How the heck can we trust these three morons, I for one will never trust any of them. And what makes this worst is the fact in their party's no one can replace them! Every one of them is unfit no wonder this country is breaking apart, I see no hope at all.

Well the good news is -
Each party now has a clear-ish and unique position on Brexit.

Lib Dem:No Brexit
Labour: Soft Brexit or No Brexit
Cons: Soft Brexit or Hard Brexit
BP: Hard Brexit.

The bad news is, they will all make a pigs ear out of it.
And in reality an election would likely have 1 of 2 out comes

Con/BP coalition = Hard Brexit
LibDem/Lab coalition = No brexit.

You forgot to mention possible scenario number three: "the way of the optimistic and well-meaning". :D

I am not to sure about that, don't forget the SNP factor and they are on the rise again. They could wipe out the cons and lab causing big problems for those party's. As for BP under the voting system we got they would be lucky to get five seats, the cons/lab are divided with deep internal problems as for the libs riding rush shot over democracy may get stung in the arse.

Let us not forget the voters and a few I know have said no they are not voting this time as they have no faith in any party sorting this brexit mess out.

Not quite Francis, not quite but could be pretty close as I see my old union Unison has decided to back the Remain option.

I'm a little disappointed tbh but at least it would give Steptoe a bloody nose.

Quote:

Jeremy Corbyn faces a battle over Labour's Brexit policy later as members choose between two competing strategies at the party's annual conference.

They will decide whether Labour should explicitly back Remain in any future referendum, or adopt Mr Corbyn's stance of staying neutral until a later date.

Unison has broken ranks with other unions to back the Remain motion.

The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said this could "shift the balance" and increase the chance of Mr Corbyn being defeated.

With unions controlling half of the votes at the conference, their position is vital. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49789938

JU_88 09-23-19 06:02 AM

Forgot about the SNP, they are basically Libdems as far a brexit goes.
Yeah I think its pretty clear that its the end of the road for Corncob, but i think who and what follows could be far worse.

*Spell check insists on correcting 'Corbyn' to 'Corncob', so I'm finally giving in.*
