Nobody, because there isn’t going to be one?
If every party had to have a leadership election everytime its leader did something ill-advised and grotesque in the company/on behalf of shady actors from foreign states we’d have one every week. I wouldn’t worry.
There’s a stronger case to be made for execrably bad judgement making someone unfit to lead a political party but… not sure that holds in 2018 either so, here we are.

It’s just how constant it is and that’s a terrible answer.
Wonder if Emily thornberry was a member of the Red Army Faction or something
Think the problem’s more around an expectation that politicians/party leaders should be flawlessly virtuous in all areas. It was obvious in 2015 that that was not the case with Corbyn (and attempts to point this out were met with a chorus of “SMEARS!”) but I still think it’s probably better to judge him against other party leaders/politicians than against an unattainable standard of purity/integrity.
re: Thornberry a clip of her surfaced recently on QT making some unfavourable comments on burkas, I noticed.
Just ignore it and stay socialist. Got ya!
Don’t ignore it! Just put it in its rightful context.
I have been doing but it’s getting to a dull stalemate now so it’s going on the ignorance pile

stop me if you’ve heard this one before my fams, but it would seem it is now confirmed: the US and Saudi have organised another informal-formal alliance with - get this - al qaeda! in the middle of - wait for it - another civil war in the middle east! this time yemen! 3 for 3 inside 8 years! al jazeera broke the story a couple of days ago, so i’m guessing qatar are still on the outs with MBS.
the best part is…our brave MI5 lads helped broker this alliance! which means we’re now spotting high value military targets, such as hospitals and weddings, for those al qaeda scamps! go liberal democracy!
wtf is actually going on? Did he actually lay a wreath or not?
Thanks for that. I don’t think this gets Corbyn out the shit though does it? He is going to be plagued by this forever.
They already tried the IRA stuff. That didn’t work, I doubt this will make much difference when all is said and done. Does anybody under 60 even know about Black September and what happened at the Munich Olympics?
There’s a pretty famous film about it
Surprising this wreath stuff is getting any traction, feels like being back in 2015 again (wolf howl?)
That’s true! I’d pretty much forgotten about that… this seems bigger though.
I don’t think Munich is an especially famous film
Summer, they’ve got nothing better to do
