Yeah, i watched Cameron turning PMQs into even more of a pantomime yesterday by his constant referral to the list. What a statesman.
The gift that keeps on giving. ;-)

Indeed Svejk. Corbyn et al have given Armando Ianucci more than enough material for another series of The Thick Of It. Hope springs eternal.
I have not read the link.

Corbyn got a massive mandate from Labour Party members during his election. It was a far more convincing win than Cameron, or Farron got for their leadership election.

If the Corbyn camp detect that certain elected members no longer adhere to Labour Party policy, and instead, vote against it, campaign against it or undermine the party policy, then it is legitimate to put another candidate in that members constituency, for the local Labour members to consider instead for their MP.

If the local members are happy for their MP to be 'off message' then they will be retained as the local prospective candidate.

Why do people object to that? It seems fine and sensible to me.
^Good plan, gromit. It will hasten the demise of the Labour Party no end.

Come on Gromit, he's been in free fall ever since his disastrous stance of the Syrian bombing vote, which saw even his closest allies and Shadow Cabinet members lambast him indirectly with their impassioned addresses.

He has hit rock bottom and has started to dig, nothing less. Even the staunchest Labour supporter must in recent months have looked at him, his choices, stance and demeanour and thought: dafuq, how did this happen? He lurches from one faux pas to PR disaster with a propensity that is shocking and the divisions within the rank and file resemble chasms.
Chill,
Corbyn has not been tested at the polls, but that will change in a few months.

Not that I give any credence to opinion polls after the debacle of the general election, but they are all we have, and the latest YouGov poll puts Labour ahead of the Conservatives.

Of course, opinion polls can and are be wrong. But it goes against your opionion (with no evidence) that Corbyn is in freefall. The Conservative should be in an honeymoon period just a few months after getting a majority in the General Election, but instead they are behind in the polls already.

That does not prove that Labour will win the next election in 2020, but it does disprove your silly assertion that Labour under Corbyn are in 'freefall'.

Had the poster not provided one, you would have most likely asked "where's the link"?
Chill,
Unless you hadn't noticed, there is a civil war in the Labour Party between the members, the majority of whom support Corbyn, and the Parliamentary MPs, many of who don't.
The MPs are relics of the Blair era, and were often parachuted into an area and foisted on a constituency because they had toadied to his Tonyness.
It is those people driving the anti-Corbyn rhetoric.

As I have been saying, Corbyn has not yet failed, he may do. We will have to wait for a few by-elections, local elections, mayoral election to know if Cobyn is a disaster. But some disgruntled Blairite (they lost the Labour Party the last two general elections) whinging to the Mail and Express is not proof of Corbyn failing.
On this one to be honest I would be more surprised ig a 'hostile' list was not kept by all partiies.

Getting it leaked is the issue but then their are turncoats everywhere.

As for the lack of popularity of the Tories, look no further than Cameron and Osborne. Thiose two have seen off many Tory voters. When they both have gone, hopefully shortly, then the Tory fortunes will change.
// Come on Gromit, he's been in free fall ever since his disastrous stance of the Syrian bombing vote, which saw even his closest allies and Shadow Cabinet members lambast him indirectly with their impassioned addresses. //

And the Syrian bombing has achieved what precisely? A regugee crisis, A million people displace and headed our way. A terrorists training camp.

The bombing of Syria was suppose to defeat ISIS and remove Assad from power and has failed miserably on both counts.

So to tell me Corbyn is a failure because he opposed bombing Syria just makes me think you have not thought your anti-Corbyn arguement through properly.
Let's not forget that the Syrian bombing idea was Cameron's second air-warfare campaign. The first was in Libya a few years earlier and just look at what has happened to that wretched country...it's in chaos and home to an ever-burgeoning Daesh community of jihadis, even closer to home shores. The man is a brilliant military strategist!
There's the Blairites who'd as soon be on the Tory side
And careerists who think it's OK to take the voters for a ride...
I've got them on my list
There's none of them be missed.

From the link:

Ben Page, the pollster’s chief executive however warned that Mr Corbyn’s net score may be exaggerated because he had a lower recognition rate, having been only in the job since September.

There has been speculation that Mr Corbyn’s satisfaction rating with the pollster – his highest with any firm – may also be exaggerated by Conservatives saying they are satisfied with what they perceive as his poor performance.
-----------------------
So in the general scheme of things the poll is in fact worthless.
Oh Gromit, falling for the lies of statistics....I wouldn't have expected that of you.
