Are they sticking with YOUR PARTY as a name now?

They are going to decide at the conference. Sultana wants to call it the Left Party, possibly because by that time she’ll be the only one left.

Sad sad sad. I know she's a mess, but someone put him out of his misery FOR ALL OF US.

Iqbal Mohamed quits Jeremy Corbyn's new left-wing party

He is the second MP to leave the group, which has been dominated by internal tensions.

Oh God are the SWP still going? I had a boyfriend who was involved in that which was quite the eye-opener. They all hated Corbyn then and that was 30 years ago

 

[GNL]

Poll please.

 

[funky]

E) these are all absolutely dreadful.

Your Party co-founder Zarah Sultana refuses to enter group's conference hall

Your Party's "historic" founding conference has descended into chaos on day one as one of its co-founders stages a boycott over claims of a "purge".

God there really is an Alien vs Predator flavour to all this (except whoever loses we ALL WIN )

 

[ZenGiraffe]

So is that 3/8 of the original MPs haven't made it to the conference!?

if party rules don't permit dual membership, how is this even a story and why is she responding as though this is some betrayal or breach of etiquette? said rules were written in the last six months and she co-wrote them!

They're not a real party yet though, they should probably wait until they have formally adopted a name, constitution etc before kicking people out.

politicians bravely sharing their animal murder stories on the campaign trail is not something I expected to catch on

 

[Lucille]

Did he consider not telling this story?

Am I remembering right there was another one not that long ago who casually mentioned drowning a bag of CATS when they were younger?

That was politics-adjacent Prue Leith.

I think that was Prue Leith. When we all know that the one she should have drowned is her awful son.

@Suomi once stabbed a police horse for looking 'covetously' at his Calippo, but I wouldn't expect him to bring that up to win a mod election.

 

[Lucille]

And she was right to do.

Well, Zarah got her wish and the party (very narrowly) voted for a collective leadership model, which I'm sure will lead to a much more cohesive approach going forward and certainly not yet more endless infighting, factionalism and confusion!

Prue Leith is a rotten bitch. At least Mary Berry was pure, aside from a bit of iglooing.

How has it got this far? Is she a bit thick?

..and Paul Hollywood punched that giraffe. Brought his own ladder and everything.

 

[octophone]

This will be dead before the council elections. Sultana will be ousted and Corbyn will leave and it'll be like Alba in Scotland - just a few terfs who burnt their bridges and people who shout "SELL OUT" at Billy Bragg.

 

[Agneeta]

If Octy is predicting it's failure, then I see it as long lasting and hugely successful.

There were also wins for the other positions advocated by Sultana, including for members to be able to have dual membership of other political group.

Nope, because they used EVIL FPTP!!!



(I am only SLIGHTLY joking, this is obviously the exact scenario that calls for RANKED CHOICE VOTING)
