Fuckery verb? Or Fuckery like a bakery or boulangerie?

Not a verb, different type of noun but oh well. We are where we are

Can the Labour members on here have a word and see if you can stop the Scottish and UK parties from digging holes for each other? Itā€™s been going on for years nowā€¦

Nearly tempted to start a thread in this - I really dislike this thing of people asking questions that they donā€™t want an answer to (Iā€™m not sure itā€™s a rhetorical question, that doesnā€™t seem right)

Like the answer to her stupid question is, I suspect (I canā€™t and donā€™t want to read the telegraph article) in the article she links to (found it somewhere else -
He also said British Muslims should not be forced to ā€˜assimilateā€™, adding: ā€˜Assimilation implies that I have to hide myself in order to get on. We should not be a society that accepts that.ā€™)

If she wants to debate that, then go for it - but to just ignore it fucks me right off (this is a gripe I have in general of questioners who donā€™t want to listen to the answers and just position the question as a way to discredit someoneā€™s position)

Iā€™d suggest you take a look at her Wikipedia page and then decide whether a response other than ā€œfuck the fuck offā€ is necessary.

From memory, she was very anti-Corbyn apart from the year post-2017 general election.

I think your underestimating the opposition to democratic socialist Labour policies from those within the PLP and the commentariat.

Whoever was leader would be monstered in the same way.

Yes I think youā€™re right. At least it would force them to dig out some new dirt though. Make them work for it.

#464

and of course it really is moot up until an actual viable candidate is suggested.

I think it depends on how and why a successor becomes leader of the party.

Labour really needed a full electoral cycle to implement the kinds of reforms that needed to come in, and to allow for proper selection of candidates. The former has started to happen at NEC level (notice the difference in how the anti-semitism cases are now being handled), but the snap general election in 2017 scuppered a lot of the latter, and as a result we have a large proportion of the PLP, elected off the back of a manifesto that they would not have written themselves, acting as little more than wreckers with no intention of coming up with policy ideas or engaging the membership.

If the PLP push Corbyn out and try to install their own leader again, then itā€™s very easy to see how they could regain control of the party if there isnā€™t a unifying single socialist candidate on the ballot.
