Your Party (now actually called that) DEAD...tired - The Jeremy Corbyn Years (feat. Zarah Sultana)

[ButterTart]

Thanks BT for posting that video, now “GET ON YOUR FEET!” Is popping into my head every 90 seconds.

I picture that scene every time someone mentions this Italian Eurovision of a party so I thought I'd share the wealth.

 

[GNL]

Call this party Loreen the way they're putting out STATEMENTS.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Those last two paragraphs!

Your Party is surely DEAD

 

[octophone]

Yup, on its arse. Zarah wants to get things done, she needs to find somewhere else to put that energy.

 

[Kala]

I wonder which one of Jeremy and Zarah didn’t respond to the request for a meeting.

 

[Penelope]

Who could have ever seen this coming

 

[Lucille]

Even CHANGE UK lasted longer than this!

Maybe a NANDOS SUMMIT could save them!

I'd bet money on it being Jeremy

 

[GNL]

One of Sultana's earlier statements talks about wanting to meet Corbyn, so it'll be him, although the signatories on that MOU statement are the people who were previously team Zarah anyway so I imagine it's all part of the POWER STRUGGLE over access to the MailChimp account.

 

[Lucille]

The fact it’s collapsed before it even HAD A NAME.

 

[funky]

Everything about this is straight out of an Iannucci script

I’m rewatching Veep at the moment and it’s scene by scene the same shit, from trying to brainstorm a name like it’s a new brand of Coke, to the premature press releases to the retractions and infighting

Such delicious comedy!

 

[GNL]

A slight thaw in relations.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

So instead of cutting their losses, they're going to drag this on until at least November?

 

[funky]

Could they tell us again how this party belongs to the people... I'm having a hard time remembering between the lawsuits and power struggles of a few higher ups!

 

[Suedehead]

Time for
Them all to
Go

 

[Jark]

A slight thaw in relations.

I didn't realise she's only 31. maybe she's been very naive about how all this works.

I think the problem is that if you have to have your own team of people, strategising and pulling strings, putting your agenda to the front, as one sixth of a party that's meant to be non-ego driven... it's not gonna work.

what exactly can these six people not be fully aligned on? why does it have to work? if it's already difficult now then back out and build bridges with labour or focus on being an independent MP.

they really should have launched with everything ready to go - naming, membership, all of it. instead they're given themselves so many opportunities to look so SLOPPY.

 

[Shoat]

To be fair, it is simply that they've (correctly) identified that without major action, Reform are heading into Downing Street in a few years' time, and no solitary independent MP is changing that. It absolutely DOES need a collective party movement (that isn't the current Labour lot).

Just a shame they've FLUFFED IT already.

 

[VoR]

I still can’t figure out on what policies they’d substantively differ from the Greens though?

We won't know until November and their MUCH AWAITED conference.

[octophone]

Zarah Sultana statement in 3, 2, 1...

 

[big ron]

They should rebrand as WHOS PARTY

 

[funky]

IT’S MY PARTY

AND I’LL CRY IF I WANT TO

 

[GNL]

His party now!

 

[Tisch]

What that Bluskeet doesn't mention though is that he is the sole leader along with Zarah Sultana, who is also the sole leader

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Will the leadership election be VOTE TO SAVE?

 

[Tisch]

Will the leadership election be VOTE TO SAVE?

Apparently CARDIFF IS OUT

 

[Agneeta]

Apparently CARDIFF IS OUT

Cardiff is IN

Is this a @Halli post?

 

[Tisch]

Is this a @Halli post?

Yes!

I do hope Jeremy Corbyn can get a good promo slot on Sunday Brunch to promote His Party soon!

 

[Eddie]

You're forgetting BBC Breakfast!

 

[Shirley]

It's MY PARTY and I'll CRY IF I WANT TO

IT’S MY PARTY

AND I’LL CRY IF I WANT TO

Ahem

 

[octophone]

No Sultana, no point. Corbyn just joins the ranks of Galloway and Sheriden who went "fine, I'll form my OWN party then".

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Is withdrawing from NATO really a good idea, let alone flagship policy worthy, when Russia is literally in a hot war with Europe?

 

[GNL]

Better to be in the imperialist war machine than outside of it and under the wheels of another imperialist war machine.

'Make the country weaker' is quite a shit flagship policy.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

'Make the country weaker' is quite a shit flagship policy.

The Tories got five prime ministers out of it to be fair

That point on the political spectrum where the left just mirrors the right.

No thank you.
