You are right I think, I don't know if it is true that financial support has been withdrawn. There would be a certain sense of justice if true given Starmer's leading role in pushing Labours insane second referendum position in the run up to December 2019. Throw in the suspension of Corbyn and you have created a lot of very pissed off people in the TU movement who might just be willing to do his legs now. Because with local elections coming up in May then its a gamble. If Starmer manages to do well in those he is cemented in post until the next election. Now would be the time to move against him. And yes, the withdrawal of financial support would be the weapon they could wield. His support of the Brexit deal has not gone down well with the wider membership so he is probably in the weakest position he has been since winning the leadership election, especially with polling probably (and not seen any so am purely speculating) showing a bit of bounce for Johnson. If they want their 'et tu' moment, now is the time.

Starmer must go !!!! For not opposing the government consistently. It is the constitutional duty of the opposition to oppose the government. That is what it is for, that is what our democracy should be. No doubt he is eloquent, but labour MPs must be sick of abstaining and even supporting the tories. Amazing that he has locked himself into supporting Johnson what possible logic could there be, the tories don't need his support to rule. What sort of politics is that?

Who cares, can't see Labour winning the next couple of general elections whoever their front-person is.

Like Jeremy or loathe him, he is obviously an honest politician, the CONS gutter press and media circus would have tried their utmost to find something if it existed, it didn"t, no corruption there! The man obviously has something about him, apart from wooing the youngsters at glastonbury, singing his name, he has almost half a million views on the hol, who knew? Interesting way to describe the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. Edited by jeeagles (05 Jan 2021 4.34pm)

Or he might of got banned , 1094 days ago to be precise, the guy was under attack from certain posters for anything he did, probably lost it in the end and posted something "illegal" to the mods, wisbeach has taken the mantle and is getting the same treatment from the same people, he is also doing well considering the flak he takes, fair play nick, fair play wisbeach!

Some of us have taken some 'Flak' on this site and I was often the target for ordure and opprobrium, labelled an "Attention seeker" etc etc.

How will he make labour more unelectable? I have heard that even IF Corbyn wins the leadership battle he could be ousted by the MPs so he doesn't actually fight the 2020 election. I really don't know if this is a possibility or is being planned. I don't spend my valuable time on 'Labour' politics ! Clicked on to page 1 instead of the last page. Saw this from you Willo from back in 2015. How the political landscape has changed. JC gave the Tories confidence to call two GE's before we even made it to 2020. Labour MP's could oust him and the party is in its worst state since 1933! He's simply the worst thing to ever happen to the Labour Party. He does have a bit of weird charisma though. Labour's answer to Malcom Allyson.
