Labour leapt into Brexit's fires - and now the party is burning [View all] Denzil_DC Mar 2017 OP

All I will say here... T_i_B Mar 2017 #1

The anti-Corbyn types probably could have persuaded Corbyn to go... Ken Burch Mar 2017 #2

It's not all about Corbyn at this point. It's barely even about Labour any more. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #3

There are valid points in what you've said. Ken Burch Mar 2017 #4

There's not much point having a leader if he/she doesn't lead. n/t Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #5

No one the PLP would accept would lead-all they care about is putting a "moderate" in. Ken Burch Mar 2017 #6

And too many of the Corbynites care only about kicking the moderates out T_i_B Mar 2017 #7

The "moderates" could stop all of that if they just stopped scheming against the current leader. Ken Burch Mar 2017 #12

Wrong. T_i_B Mar 2017 #13

Would you agree with what I suggested above... Ken Burch Mar 2017 #17

No T_i_B Mar 2017 #18

Care to say why my theories are garbage? Ken Burch Mar 2017 #20

Dude - read what I've written above. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #9

I don't want to talk about Corbyn or anti-Corbyn either....but the anti-people "Labour" MPs Ken Burch Mar 2017 #14

"The best approach was to fight to save multicultural Britain in a post-Brexit world." Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #30

In the here and now, there was never any chance that ANY Tory MPs would defy May on Article 50. Ken Burch Mar 2017 #32

Nonsense. There are Tory MPs who are opposed, Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #33

Thanks Denzil T_i_B Mar 2017 #8

If Corbyn hasn't disappointed me on the Scottish issue, Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #10

I actually feel sorry for Kezia Dugdale T_i_B Mar 2017 #11

Why is she even still leading Holyrood Labour after a third-place finish? Ken Burch Mar 2017 #15

Who else is there in Scottish Labour? T_i_B Mar 2017 #16

Is it a requirement that the Scottish Labour leader be a sitting MSP? Ken Burch Mar 2017 #19

Party leaders should always be elected officials T_i_B Mar 2017 #21

That creates a dilemma: Ken Burch Mar 2017 #22

Labour's rivals would love that proposal T_i_B Mar 2017 #23

Why on earth is it so important to you that Scottish Labour survives? Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #27

Only because Labour needs to make a comeback in Scotland... Ken Burch Mar 2017 #28

I've had to knock this myth down before. Sorry, your first argument is just nonsense. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #29

I respect your opinions. Ken Burch Mar 2017 #31

I could make some guesses where you might have read stuff like that. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #34

I appreciate the additional information. Ken Burch Mar 2017 #35

That's a shame. One would hope for better. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #36

Her deputy, Alex Rowley, would be in improvement in all sorts of ways. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #24

OK, we have a point of agreement, finally. Denzil_DC Mar 2017 #25
