'Labour MUST Kill Vampire Jezza': The Plot to Destroy Corbyn

Meanwhile, Labour’s membership has shot up to more than 500,000, according to party sources, as both Corbyn’s supporters and those who want to replace him recruit new supporters to their cause.

However, in separate decisions, the NEC ruled that only those who have been members since January will be allowed to vote – while new supporters will be given two days to sign up as registered supporters to vote in the race, but only if they are willing to pay £25 – far higher than the £3 fee many Corbyn-backers paid in the contest last year.

Corbyn’s critics believe the vast majority of the members who have joined up in the past few weeks have done so in response to a Keep Corbyn campaign, and these new backers will now not be able to vote without paying an additional £25.

Fix is still on. £25 (~$33) to join a party that was started ostensibly to provide representation to the working classes, poor, and democratic socialists?

Shady as fuck

As with everything in UK politics recently, it doesn't appear that anyone's thought this through

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po ... 33851.html

More than 100,000 new Labour Party members must pay a £25 fee to take part in the upcoming leadership election vote.

The decision by Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC) has caused outrage among Jeremy Corbyn's supporters who have interpreted it to be another attack on his leadership.

There are, however, a number of ways to avoid the fee, which currently is an obstacle to around 20 per cent of the membership who joined the party after 12 January.

Firstly, people can join the Unite union as a community member, paying 50p a week until becoming an affiliate member by 8 August.

This would allow members or anyone interested, including students and the unemployed, to vote in the upcoming election.

Secondly, if you are black, Asian or belong to an ethnic minority, you would be eligible to vote in the election after paying £5 for a two-year membership of BAME Labour.

If you are LGBT, you could gain a say in the leadership election if you join LGBT Labour for £8 a year.

Alternatively, you could join Scientists for Labour for a concession rate of £5 to vote.

Labour membership numbers are thought to have reached around half a million, more than the 405,000 it reached during the high point of Tony Blair's premiership.

Mr Corbyn has been allowed by the NEC to stand in the party's leadership election without needing to secure 51 nominations from Labour MPs or MEPs.

Not so fast there, Person of Colour! Labour HQ have disabled new BAME memberships. @LabourBAME claim they are trying to sort it out. These blairite fuckers are pulling every gerrymandering trick in the book

Apparently doing the same to exclude OAPs, new and recent Union member signups. @LabourEoin is posting various updates about this

Hey Mac, what do you expect. You live in a democracy FFS.

Hell on earth for sure lol.

Edited to add that Im quietly convinced that enough people are getting the message about the endemic hierarchical corruption within our entire fucking civilisation, and are fed up with it.

We certainly do live in interesting times.

Just be the best you can be is what I say

Craig Murray:

The Entirely Fake Owen Smith

Even the mainstream media feel compelled to drop hints that Owen Smith is not what he is being promoted as. The Guardian’s words yesterday were unintentionally revealing;

the former shadow work and pensions secretary plans to pitch himself as the soft-left option

Note “to pitch himself”. For PR professional Smith, political stance is nothing to do with personal belief, it is to do with brand positioning. On Channel 4 News last night, an incredulous Michael Crick pointed out that the “soft left” Smith had previously given interviews supporting PFI and privatisation in the health service. He also strongly supported Blair’s city academies.
...
Owen Smith went to Pfizer from a Labour Party job, while Labour were in government, and there is no doubt that his hiring was an example of the corrupt relationship between New Labour and big business which is why the Blairites are so hated by the public. It is also beyond any argument that if Pfizer had any doubts about Owen Smith’s willingness to promote the Big Pharma and NHS Privatisation agenda, they would never have hired him.

Owen Smith is a strong supporter of Trident and assiduously courts the arms industry. He is a regular at defence industry events.

Perhaps most crucially of all, Owen Smith joined his fellow Red Tories in abstaining on the Tory welfare benefit cuts.

Now The Guardian is almost enthusiastically flashing the green light to Theresa bleedin' May's auspicious start as prime minister. Sweet water-walkin' Jesus. I'm almost exclusively hate-reading that fucking rag now.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... 1468607802

Theresa May has made another bold gesture of intent by making her first trip out of London a visit to Edinburgh to meet the Scottish first minister, Nicola Sturgeon. The decision not just to meet Ms Sturgeon (for only the third time), but to travel to Bute House rather than inviting her to London is another symbol of the importance with which she regards relations with the first minister, and the respect with which she plans to treat her. These are all positive omens.

[...]

Secondly, that inaugural speech from the steps of Downing Street went on to describe not only the preciousness of the bond between the component parts of the United Kingdom, but between every citizen, wherever they are; and then an equally striking commitment to govern in the interests of everyone, not the privileged few.

With more state-educated ministers than any Tory cabinet since the war, according to the Sutton Trust, Mrs May has assembled a team that looks (and sounds) less patrician and more likely to appeal beyond the metropolitan south-east of England than any for a generation or more. With the divisions of the independence referendum still sharply drawn, Mrs May clearly recognises the work she must do to sustain and expand support for what she is likely to insist on calling the Conservative and Unionist party. No wonder the Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson tweeted “Tremendous statement of intent … Blue collar Conservatism is back”

Ffs. Eagle and the other plotters are really shameless:

Angela Eagle LIED about her office window being vandalised by a Corbyn-supporting ‘bully’

Eagle is of course the former leader of the Fabian Society and supposedly comes from a humble background. Would be interesting to learn more about how somebody like that is "picked".

Angela Carrion-Crowe has just withdrawn from the Labour leadership contest, after talking things over with Owen Smith,

This is the stuff of very dark comedy.

So it's Corbyn versus Smith now. Corbyn is "unelectable", according to the plotters and the Guardian. Smith has less charisma (and less backbone) than a pair of socks. Presumably that's what the plotters and the Guardian mean by "electability".

Thanks, McCruiskeen. 'Tis terrible.

While the Labour Party is busy dismantling itself, Cameron has handed over the UK to Cruella DeVille:



Is she "electable"? Who knows. The mere electorate has certainly never elected her.
