Enough’s Enough Jeremy – It’s becoming farcical.

Posted on by Opher

I’m one of your biggest fans but you’ve got to step down for the good of the Party and the good of the nation.

I love what you stand for and I agree with what you say but it is not working.

You had the opportunity to stand up and speak with passion, to inspire and persuade. You failed to do so. You allowed this mess to happen. You have to take some of the blame.

Step down and get behind a unified front against the Tories. We need to stand up against these extremists. We need a better way forward. We need to listen to the concerns about immigration and austerity. We need to protect the weakest.

I can’t help thinking that going through this charade is falling right into Tory wishes.

Step down Jeremy. It’s time to call it a day. Don’t drag us through anymore. Please.

  2. How can you be biggest fan of someone after just 9 months and has achieved absolutely nothing?
    As soon as I saw and heard him I thought he wasn’t a leader.

    1. You say that but I saw him inspiring huge packed halls during the leadership election. He electrified people.

      2. I don’t know. Media pressure, backstabbing and the pressure of the job. I know how that can weigh on you.

  3. I think it’s difficult too as he has a different kind of leadership but am not sure he has the political moves needed. Cabinet reshuffle not sacking Benn.

    1. I feel very sad. But it has become farcical. He is not tenable and his performance in the Brexit campaign was woeful. For all his qualities he isn’t a leader. We need someone to inspire and lead us to a better future. I really don’t think he can do it.

      1. We need that right now but I’m not happy with the mass resignation now when we need to show unity and hit out at how this government has undermined and destroyed working conditions and lack of social funding.

      2. True. We need a unified and viable opposition with values that can take on this despicable Tory onslaught. Corbyn, for all his integrity, is not it.

  4. Actually, in general terms working conditions have never been so good.
    Social funding needs are determined by demand. Our local councils are spending fortunes on bed and breakfasts for homeless. We haven’t enough homes in many areas because there are too many people. For example, many people arrive here stating they have family they can live with, when in fact they haven’t, which puts even more pressure on social services.
    It’s also doesn’t help matters when Labour MPs abstain from a vote on Tory cuts.
    I’ve got to wonder what they’re about also.

      1. And didn’t I say the very same the other day – that Labour are nothing like the party that you had originally sworn allegiance to?
        We live in a completely different world now.

      2. That is true but they are still the only viable opposition to a dogma driven nasty Tory Party. What else have you got?

  5. An opportunity to form a more moderate-centric party. I do dislike extremity and in my opinion, for what it’s worth, both are just as bad as each other. But I detest the SNP even more. I loathe them!

    1. Another LibDem Party (which gave us years of Tory misrule and unleashed Thatcher on us)? Or a Labour Party under more moderate leadership?

      1. Not LibDem’s, they’re too wishy-washy.
        Not another “new” Labour, no thanks, done that and look what happened. Tony Blair, the war crimes criminal, Gordon Brown, the pensions thief.
        What we don’t need are any more “party-first” idiots and those too numerous that are completely unqualified for the job in hand. Half of these people in Govt or Labour’s shadow govt are only there because they have hung around long enough like a bad smell.

        We need a party of people who understand management, economics, proven problems solvers.
        There needs to be a higher level of real life qualifications required to enter into this.

  6. They way you are carrying on Opher, you will end up supporting Blair. If you are a card carrying member of the Labour Party, like I am, you will get to Vote to replace Jeremy Corbyn. If you voted him in you can then vote him out!

    1. We have to vote him out. He has become a farce. He cannot run the country without a cabinet. I will vote for the best person who can unite the party and has a chance of winning an election and of being a credible opposition to the Tories. Unfortunately, much as I like what he stands for, Corbyn is not that man.

  7. Apparently such an idea is being discussed – at least according to a few political commentators on the box last night. Could be pie in the sky of course.

      1. Utter nonsense! It’s big world.
        There’s big picture people who will be doing everything they can to capitalise on this. You’ll see.
        I used to work with some and that’s why they have business interests all over the world.

  8. Obviously you do not remember or supported Jeremy Corbyn prior to being Leader Opher..Biggest fan for how long, just since being elected as Leader? I followed Jeremy Corbyn for much longer, Tony Benn remember him – I have been a Socialist all my life, never believed the ROSE crap of Blair and co, how soon people forget the Miners Strike and all the other fights the Working Class people of GB have had to fight.

    1. Corbyn was not on my radar until the leadership election and I liked everything I heard and voted for him. Me too. I was active in the Miner’s strike, a union rep and organising strike action. I was on the executive and a big Benn Supporter. I have his books – all signed by him and have met and listened to him – usually right and a great speaker.
      I followed Jeremy Corbyn. A leader inspires people. They ask people to follow them. The test of a leader is if they do.
      Anna – you are the classic example – he did not inspire you to change your mind and you did not follow him. You voted against what he asked you to do. I didn’t. The remain vote lost because the Labour heartlands turned their back on him. As a leader he failed.

      1. “A classic example”?!
        So once in must equate to always in?
        What a terrible idea. That’s sheep people.
        Did you ever hear Anna say “baaa, baaa”?
        You were inspired by Corbyn’s “leadership” these last weeks, good grief!

        What you did before in political side lines has nothing to do with this. The subject is entirely different.

      2. How dare you, I did not believe for one moment that Jeremy Corbyn voted Remain when he got in that box his principles he would not betray and I believe he voted Leave, as should have Labour. You can think what you like, if there is a Vote of No Confidence in him and as members we are asked to cast our vote, whether I agree with him or not I will not turn my back on him. I might be wrong but it is what I believe I will not stab him in the back like the rest. What do you want back Blair, Kinnock’s snotty nosed son who is prepared to stand, two sets too concerned with making too much money for themselves, Labour No Not Labour they should join the Tory Party and all those that will follow them.

      3. No, that was the very point I was making. He was not inspiring at all. My criticism wasn’t of Anna it was of Corbyn. If he’d been a good leader he would have inspired you and her – especially if you claim to be a follower. He was spectacularly uninspiring and had no leadership skills. He is appalling with the media. That is why he has to go.
        My political life was in response to Anna’s put-down.

      4. Rubbish Anna. Corbyn campaigned for remain throughout. He toured the country. He said it at every opportunity. The fact that he was useless at it is no excuse. You chose to ignore him and the Labour Party.
        I don’t want Blair or Kinnock. How silly to suggest that.
        You support Corbyn with a vote of 172/40? He can’t even put a shadow cabinet together let alone win an election. He is being ridiculed from all sides and should stand down for the good of the party and the country. He is bringing the party into disrepute and haemorrhaging support. It is utter madness. Do you think the whole 172 should go over to the Tories and leave Labour with just 40 seats? You are not making sense anymore.

    1. What? You can’t see all the put-downs and snide remarks scattered through your replies? They are in my imagination? If I were to cut and paste it would make quite a litany of unpleasantness. I’m refraining from responding in kind because it is too upsetting. I don’t need it.
