I was in my early 20s when Corbyn was elected as leader of the Labour party. As someone who grew up in poverty, it was the first time in my life that I felt hopeful and optimistic about politics and the future of the UK.
He stood up for issues that directly affected me and my family – reforming our archaic and cruel benefits system, building a million new homes (including 500k council houses), protecting our NHS and our education system.
It was horrible to witness the media gear up to take him down to protect the establishment.
With this move, Labour and Keir has lost me as a voter. I don’t feel hopeful for the future of this country or any political party. Keir seems to be obsessed with waving union jacks, spouting anti-migrant rhetoric and cosying up to big-money donors. All style (if you can call it that) and no substance.
If Jazza cared about Labour Party he would let it go. His presence in party is toxic to chances of winning and he needs to step aside so Labour can actually win elections.
Sad but predictable. If he’s bitter he should run as independent and cause some chaos from the sidelines.
His lines about disbanding NATO and pandering to Russian propaganda (stop arming Ukraine etc.) contributed to this.
In that regard he was sounding quite similar to Trump and Farage.
We can all agree we don’t want these people in politics.
Another brexit MP hopefully out at the next election 🤞
I swear I’ve been seeing this headline at least once a week for the last month now
I respect Corbyn’s idealism and most of his views (pacifism is something I cannot tolerate) but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in. I’ll take centrist Labour over losing to the Tories because we gave the state media an easy target any day.
Disgusting how hes been treated. I agreed with nearly everything in his manifesto.
Fans of Jeremy Corbyn have to step back and accept this means that the Tories have lost their biggest weapon in winning the 2024 General Election.
If they want to continue kicking up a stink after considering the above, then it means they’d rather let the Tories get back in to do even more harm to the country.
Then he’ll just run as an independent and Labour will lose that seat.
It’s sad as someone who supported him, but I’d literally vote for Darth Vader at this point if it got the Tories out of government.
I am genuinely sick of hearing about Jeremy Corbyn
His shitty hot takes regarding Ukraine have destroyed any chances that a serious political party would endorse him
Seriously, could you imagine if we were the ones facing a crisis on the scale of Ukraine and we had Prime Minister Corbyn telling us to just lie down and take it, because ‘defending yourself makes you just as bad as the aggressor’
However you feel about him you must admit that this is exactly what critics warned Corbyn would do to the Labour centrists, except he never did.
I was just about to post this.
What an utter shit show the UK has become. I can’t say I am a huge Corbynite but compared to literally EVERYONE else in UK politics I’d rather him than them.
We are now as politically dumb as ever. We might as well just call ourselves the 51st state and call ourselves little corporate America.
“a clear demonstration of Labour leadership making changes to ensure Labour win the trust of the British people”. This makes me trust them even less. I trust Corbyn far more than Starmer. I was already umming and ahhing whether I should vote Labour and this just puts me off even more.
What is so bad about this is we need more great constituency MP’s like Corbyn and less like Christian Wakeford who in the past was critical of Labour both locally and nationally, who had a dreadful voting record on key issues, and got promoted to a whip in Labour.
Corbyn is more Labour than Kier Starmer. That man wouldn’t be out of place in the Tory Party.
I honestly couldn’t give less of a shit about Jeremy Corbyn. Allowing any political narrative to involve him only helps the right.
He tried, he failed, he needs to go away.
Be mad at how things happened all you like, he never had a chance of winning and nothing is going to change that.
The smear campaign on Corbyn was one of the greatest pieces of genius and propaganda I’ve studied for years. So successful that Corbyn lives in people’s heads rent free as a racist and terrorist. When in fact, fact checking leads to the complete opposite appraisal.
Some people on here are in for a real shock when Keir Starmer turns out to be Tory-lite, and barely makes a positive difference to people’s lives as PM
That’s if he even gets it, because if anyone can miss an open goal and kick the ball into Row Z it’s him
This is coming from someone who voted for him in the leadership election
Starmer’s sycophants out in full force today i see, for a man so devoid of ideas, honour, charisma or concept of truth, that it’s genuinely incredible there’s still anybody at all left attempting to defend the fucker.
Anyway, he’ll probably win the next election, having had it handed to him by a batshit mental Tory party, he’ll then achieve the square root of fuck all while in power, and in 5 years’ time, the country will likely be in an even worse state than it is now.
I’d imagine his rich donors will be happy tho. As will landlords and the banks.
Good. He had his chance, fucked it royally, made it ridiculously easy for this shitbag Tory party to get into power, and now look where we are. No surprise that the more sensible elements in Labour want to put that era of madness firmly behind them.
He hasn’t been in Labour since after he was the Labour leader. this is just making it official.
Corbyn was so close to being good but ultimately is just a bit batshit crazy.
Good riddance. He’s responsible for keeping the Tories in power for way longer than they needed be. The problem with the fantastical idealists that put him in charge of the party is that they’d rather be right than be in power.
He was my MP in the 80s and was excellent . He supports so many organisations in his constituency and has helped so many people. He is courteous and friendly , he claims very low expenses and his work rate is incredible
Doesn’t he have a lot of support in his constituency? Putting aside Labour voters might be in a bind, but I’ve always been under the impression he was in it independently popular. This will split the vote.
Corban lost the average labour voter. He went too far left. Reddit folk won’t like this but it’s the truth.
Ironically, some of Starmer’s biggest supporters were claiming that Corbyn was interested in a “stalinist purge” for attempting to introduce mandatory reselection for sitting MPs. Ironic that he’s gone down a far, far more authoritarian route to remove a sitting MP.
Even if you happen to be a fan of Starmer, this sets a very worrying precedent for the existence of the Labour party as a democratic institution.
The saddest thing here is that Islington, despite having wealthy parts, is still a very deprived area. The idea that the leader of the Labour Party would play silly factional games with their representation is an absolute disgrace. Shame on Starmer for this. I will never vote Labour at any level as long as he’s leader.
Serious question;
Why is everyone from every party afraid of this guy???
