My view is that the amendment (which could never have passed) was nothing more than pointless virtue signalling by the Blairite rump - a sneaky way of weakening Corbyn and his supporters after the unexpectedly good election result. The likes of Umunna were utterly invisible in the GE campaign and you always wondered how long it would take them to crawl out of the woodwork to start agitating once again. It certainly hasn't taken very long.

Let's face it, the May administration is an utter shambles and failing by pretty much every measure going, yet Umunna and the usual suspects decided it would be better to divert the pressure off the oppositon at the expense of their own party. Pretty pathetic, truth be told. A bit less self-importance from them would have been nice but I wouldn't expect it from them.

Melanie Onn resigned her place in the shadow government last June. Not sure what your point is.


She's back now. As of today.

I think Corbyn is running out of MP'S to promote seeing that he has sacked most of the previous incumbents.

There was a guy in the pub the other day reading the Daily Fail and the headline was "Labour in Meltdown". I sat there with a big grin on my face. Next they will be telling us that the Labour party is full of illegal immigrants or some such sensationalist bullsh1t. The written press is becoming more irrelevant by the day and are losing their grip on the nations voters.

If I read a paper now, it'll only be the times, at least they report stuff when it becomes fact.

I read that the right wing of the Labour party are going to breakaway,

David Milliband coming back from America to lead it,

Has anybody else heard of this ?

SDP part two? I don't think even the dimmest of the Blairites are stupid enough to attempt such a move with the FPTP electoral system we have in place. The SDP/LibDems have been enabling the Tories for decades so I can't imagine even somebody as pointless as David Miliband would come back to lead LibDems Mk. II into electoral oblivion.

Should have been leader in place of Ed in my eyes.

I'm sure he's much to busy trousering his 400 grand per year as head a refugee charity (tax payer funded of course)
